The Beta Killer Chapter 61
They turned off a country road onto a much narrower road that continuously twisted and turned. They passed one house that looked similar to Alissa's parents house. They turned off the narrow road onto a single track gravel road, it was barely wide enough for their 4X4. They went through a line of bushes then over a wooden bridge. In front of the car was indeed, a castle. Turrets with pointed roofs caused Alissa to crane her neck, hundreds of narrow arched windows dotted the brickwork. Alissa let out a gasp, “It's beautiful!” she muttered. A warm, relaxed smile appeared on his face. “It is a rather impressive home.” A woman was standing looking over a wrought iron balcony, she appeared to watch the car pull up and park next to their cars. Malachi crunched along the gravel to meet Alissa and Luca. The men clasped hands, “I'm so sorry, how's he doing?”“Too early to tell, he's struggling to heal. His wounds are as bad as yesterday.” Malachi’s eyes were ringed, his hair and beard looki

The trio walked around the castle, the sprawling, slightly overgrown grass reaching out to bushes that surrounded the land. She was about to settle down on the grass to watch the two fight but Luca lead her further until there was a bench. As soon as she was sat, he gave her a peck on the lips, moving off to a safe distance away. She crossed her legs. Getting comfy while Luca bounced on the balls of his feet, swinging his arms and throwing a few air punches. Malachi had tied his hair back into a low ponytail and stood, an amused grin on his face as he shook his arms. Neither of them put their arms up in guard. “You're going down, Wuffaman,” Malachi laughed as they both began bouncing from foot to foot. “Pfft, in your dreams, McBayn.” Luca jabbed with his left making Malachi dodge and smack his hand away easily. Malachi used the momentum from his block to swing his right leg round to strike with the top of his foot. Luca ducked effortlessly and used his different level to sweep Malac

Luca needed to go see Marcus, which left Alissa to explore the castle. She started on the ground floor. She found a library that was off the entrance hall, three bathrooms, a sitting room with mismatched sofas, armchairs and floor cushions. In the sitting room was a large cabinet, intrigued she opened it up. On the top two shelves were bottles of scotch, she counted ten different brands of scotch. She was sure Luca could tell her one tasted of cherries while another vanilla; they'd all be the same to her. On the next shelf were fancy bell shaped glasses. She moved further down the corridor, a thinner corridor snaked to her right while the main corridor continued straight ahead, she decided to go right. A door came up off the corridor, she opened it finding stairs leading into darkness, it gave her the creeps so she carried on. Another door came up which she pushed open, an infirmary very similar to theirs stood before her. Luca and Bridget stood around a bed. In the bed was obviousl

Alissa had settled herself between Luca's legs, lying on her back with a book in hand after one of their runs. The pair had finally managed to get their primal wolves under control while at McBayn castle. Letting their wolves run three times a day appeared to be tiring them out enough for their rational minds to be dominant again. Meaning they had time for other activities which Alissa was grateful for as she turned the page of the Anthropology book.Alissa shifted and placed her hand on Luca's thigh, feeling content as he absent mindedly reached down to fiddle with her hair. “WHAT IS THIS!” a bellow from behind them made them both flinch and leap from the sofa. Cain and Emily, their backs straight, stood shoulder to shoulder in the doorway of the sitting room. “Father, I was not expecting you,” Luca's eloquent voice was back, but a quiver had entered the measured words. Cain walked towards Luca and Alissa, leaving Emily at the door. “You should be working!” Cain growled, a slap echo

“I'll make some tea,” Alissa announced, heading to the kitchen. Jack followed, putting water on to boil. Alissa leaned her hands against the kitchen side, stretching her arms which shook slightly. “Why didn't they go straight to the council? That was their plan, holiday, council.” Alissa took a shuddering breath. “I think they wanted to check up on Luca. Cain's unhappy how much he's changed so quickly, but there's nothing he can do about it. Thankfully.” Jack rested his hand between Alissa's shoulder blades. “They'll leave soon,” he reassured before starting to gather mugs, milk and sugar. “It makes me feel like nothings changed, I know it has but...” she trailed off. Jack turned her around and enveloped her in his strong protective arms. She let him, she hadn't hugged her brother in weeks, she had been too caught up with Luca. She enjoyed the difference, a familial connection that the siblings shared. “Can you take the tea in? I just need another minute.” Alissa broke their embrac

The living room was silent. A discomfort and shock around everyone. Alissa couldn’t believe what had happened not ten minutes before. Cain had demonstrated a weakness in Luca… something that and Alpha wasn’t supposed to show. She’d always thought Luca disliked Cain but for it to be like that… in front of everyone? What had he done to Luca when they were alone, when he was a boy. Cain had an evil streak but she never in a million years thought that would extend to Luca. The seconds ticked by, Alissa remembered what had happened earlier in the day, so she focused on him and only him. she pushed in her mind, “Luca.” A hope he’d reply. He didn't.So she tried again, “Luca, can I come see you?” A few more moments of silence stretched in her head. The hope he’d open up dwindled until a broken voice returned with “OK.” Alissa stood, she grabbed a whisky bottle from the cupboard with two glasses and made her way to his study. She slowly opened the door. Luca had drawn the curtains and w

She inhaled, not wanting to say it but the look on his face, the dejection the pain. She could ease it… or make it worse. She didn’t know. “Luca...” she began feebly, bitting down on her lip until it bled. A tear silently glided down her cheek as she knew the pain and wrath that she was about to unleash. She began twisting her fingers, “Luca… you're not,” she whispered. Another tear slid down her cheek as he turned to face her questioningly. “Emily isn't your mother.” Alissa held her breath as Luca's expression turned from puzzlement, to shock. “How? Yes she is!” he cried in disbelief. Alissa shook her head slowly. “I'm sorry,” she said pitifully. Luca was still, a befuddlement on his face. “What do you mean?” “I…” she wasn’t quite sure how else to say it. “Emily, Emily isn’t your mother. I don’t know who is but… but it’s someone else. We think… we think human.”Luca descended on her and gripped her upper arms painfully. “You're lying, tell me you're lying!” he shouted as he shook

He watched with a sinking stomach as she bolted from the bed into the bathroom. Luca knew he deserved that, he had laid a hand on her which no mate should do. No Alpha should do. He felt terrible and knew he hadn't been forgiven. Luca slid from Alissa's bed, he was angry. Angry his parent's had lied, angry he had hurt Alissa, and some anger was towards her, she had kept a secret from him and now wasn't letting him apologise. He heard her voice in his mind, “Luca.” “Yes my dear?” But there was no response, he furrowed his brow and walked into the bathroom. Alissa was sat under the spray of the shower. Her knees drawn up to her chest, face buried in her knees. Her wet hair sticking to her arms and legs. Luca walked into the shower the water hitting him instantly. He slid between her and the cold glass making him jump as it touched his bare back. Luca wiggled his leg behind her heels and rested his other knee against her back. “I really am sorry.” Luca's pyjama pants began to stick t
