I quickly run back to the house and I shift back before I climb up the tree, and then to my opened window.
As I'm about to let out a sigh of relief, I turn around and see an angry Zack glaring at me.
Crap. I'm a dead wolf.
"Where were you?"
"Um," I say trying to think of an excuse, "I walked into town to get some more food, but I got lost so I never made it to the stores." By the look on his face, I know he doesn't believe me, and I also know that I'm about to get a beating.
"You have 5 minutes to tell me where you really were and why you came back so late."
"Why does it matter to you?" I say before thinking.
He clenches his jaw and his eyes are starting to turn darker.
"Just tell me where you went," he says through clenched teeth.
"It doesn't really mat-" I start before I'm cut off
"YOU WERE WITH A GUY WEREN'T YOU? YOU LITTLE SLUT!" he screams before punching me in the face. I fall to the ground, holding my cheek. I was able to move out of the way so it wasn't a direct hit, but I can feel the left side of my face start to swell.
"I wasn't with a guy! I was trying to go to the mall!" I repeat frantically, while trying to move away from him.
"SHUT UP! I SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!" he yells before he goes to start hitting me again. My wolf whimpers in my head as she tries to comfort me. I curl up into a ball and wait for my death with my eyes closed. I've never been afraid of death, but now that it's staring me right in the face I couldn't be more terrified.
I continue to wait for his next hit, but nothing happens. I count to ten in my head before I slowly open my eyes. I see Jake holding back a furious looking Zack and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Alpha Zack, please stop." my brother says as he moves himself between Zack and me to protect me even further.
"WHY SHOULD I? YOUR LITTLE SLUT OF A SISTER THINKS SHE CAN GO AND SLEEP AROUND WITH OTHER MEN!" I can hear Jake answering Zack, but I can't understand any of the words he is saying. They all mesh together until all I can hear is an annoying buzzing ringing in my ears.
My eyes start closing on their own accord and my body starts to feel really heavy. I guess that punch did more damage than I thought it did.
I struggle to stay awake for a few minutes before I realize that it's pointless, and I submit to the darkness.
Ryder's POV
I don't know why, but as the week has been going by, my wolf has been getting more and more restless. I feel like I have had to let my wolf out at least 3 times a day just so he can remain relatively calm.
It's finally Wednesday, and a few of my pack members and I are getting ready to leave. We load all of our luggage into the cars before they say bye to the family members that have come to see us off.
I stand stiffly off to the side since I don't have any family members. My betas wife, and mate, sees this, and she immediately pulls me into their family hug.
"Thank you, Emily. I really need that," I admit. Ever since Brian, my beta, has met Emily, she has always tried to make sure that I was never excluded from family matters. Obviously I think of my entire pack as my family, but, my betas have a special place in my messed up heart.
"Don't even mention it." she says to me with a warm smile. I give her a small smile in return before I start heading towards the van that I'm going to be in.
"Now y'all better be on your best behaviors for uncle Chris while we're gone. Are we clear?" she asks her 2 children.
"Of course mom!" the twins, Ashley and Ana say together.
I chuckle before telling everyone to head to their cars so we can get on the road. My third in command, Chris, will be watching the pack while Brian and I are gone.
I really hope this trip isn't a waste of my time. I've heard about the leadership at Crescent Falls, and I don't believe for one second that they will be able to get me to agree to an alliance with them.
I also hope that I will be able to figure out why my wolf has been so crazy recently.
Elizabeth's POV
I wake up to an annoying beeping sound. What the heck? Slowly, I open my eyes, and I'm blinded by the bright lights. I groan and I try to move my hands in front of my face to protect my eyes.
"Liz! You're awake!" I look over and see my brother looking at me with wide eyes.
"W-water." Wow, is that really my voice? I sound like a 90 year old male who has had way too many cigarettes. I start coughing violently, trying to clear my throat.
