Chapter 51

Mrs Jacob.

(Fraction)

“Mrs Jacob? What seems to be the problem?” I’m already annoyed, I wanted to spend the day with

Anna and Thomas and yet again here I am with Mrs Jacob and her backward as s views.

“These mini terrorists are wrecking my garden!” She screeches pointing at Je rry and Lizzie, looking

over at her garden I don’t see a blade of grass out of place.

“Kids go on inside please,” both of them run off into the home, both of them look relieved to no longer

be standing in front of Mrs Jacob.. “Your garden looks fine to me.” I say to her crossing my arms. “This

has to stop. You can not keep attacking members of this pack.”

“Oh please. I did not attack anyone. Why did you have to let people like him into the pack anyway?”

Mrs Jacob says angrily.

“You know why. They needed a home and we provided one, they are vital members of this pack.” I’ve

lost count how many times I’ve had this conversation with Mrs Jacob over the last three years.

“Well maybe you can move them?” She asks.

“No. They live here and you and your backward as s views are just going to have to like it or lump it.”

I’ve shocked her but I’ve lost my patience, this is all because Leon is ga y and we both know it. I watch

as she stomps her way back into her home.

Turning around I can see Anna and Thomas in the park across the road and I want nothing more than

to join them but I better make sure Jer ry

and Lizzie are ok. Sighing I walk across the lawn and gently knock on the door. I wait for the door to be

answered, I don’t like just walking. into people’s homes. I find it really rude and highly disrespectful.

“Alpha.” Lizzie says in a small voice as she opens the door.

“Can I come in, Lizzie?” into the

She nods as she leads the w kitchen, Lizzie is only twelve but she’s very mature for her age. As a small

redhead she doesn’t have the easiest time in the Pack school but here in the house she can be herself,

which I’ve come to learn is a shy little bookworm.

“Where did Jer ry go?” I ask her, noticing that Jer ry isn’t in the kitchen.

“He went over to the medical centre to see Leon. He said not to open the door unless it was you, Luna

or Beta.” I nod at her, watching as she pours herself a glass of water.

“Go pop your shoes on Lizzie. You can come to the Pack House with me and Anna today, help us look

after Thomas?” I don’t like the idea of her alone in the house with Mrs Jacob on the war path.

“I don’t know, Jer ry said to stay here.” Poor kid doesn’t go anywhere with Leon or Kerry by her side.

“It will be a big help to me and I will let Leon know where you are. The smile that beams from her melts

me. She looks so proud that her Alpha has just asked for a personal favour. Pulling my phone from my

jeans I shoot James a message to go and tell Leon where Lizzie is and to make sure Jer ry has arrived.

Sure I could message Leon but why deny James the chance to see him?

Lizzie is back by the time I’m done with my text message, she’s got trainers on and a big coat. I laugh a

little but don’t comment, kids use strange things for comfort and maybe a big coat on such a warm day

is Lizzie’s. “Ready? Alright let’s go get Anna and Thomas.” I say leading

her out of the house. I hold my hand out for her once she locks the door and places the key in her

pocket. She hesitates for a second but then grabs my huge hand in her tiny one. As we walk across the

garden towards the park I see Mrs Jacob’s curtains move out of the comer of my eye. As an older

member of the pack she should be more aware of the impact of her words, I shake my head as we

cross the road and I wave to Anna.

“Lizzie. So nice to see you.” Anna says beaming down at Lizzie as we meet up on the path.

“Alpha said you need help with baby Thomas.” Anna looks at me and I give a small nod.

“Wow. That would be amazing, shall we head to the Packhouse?” Anna says as if having a pup with us

all day wasn’t just sprung on her. By the time we get back to the Packhouse Thomas is fussy and ready

for a sleep and Lizzie is starting to drag a bit.

“You hungry Lizzie?” I ask her, I watch as she simply shrugs her shoulders as her eyes take in

everything she can see. “Let’s get a sandwich.”

While Anna is putting Thomas to sleep I get to work putting together three bacon sandwiches while

Lizzie colours at the table.

“Oh cake!” I hear from behind me, I spin around spatula in hand and see my mother eyeing the

chocolate cake Anna brought home.

“I wouldn’t,” I say, turning back to the bacon. “Anna will eat you.”

“Who am I eating?” Anna says having walked into the kitchen at my threat.

“Fraction thinks you won’t share.” My mother pretends to sound sad.

“How about we have sandwiches and me, you and Lizzie can share the

cake?” I listen to Anna suggest as I put the finishing touches to the sandwiches and place them on the

table.

“No cake from me?” I ask, shoving a sandwich in my mouth and making Lizzie laugh.

“Just for the ladies.” Anna says winking and Lizzie.

Once the sandwiches are done I collect the dishes up while Anna splits the cake slice in three. It’s a

rather large slice so they all get a good chunk each, they all eat with gusto enjoying the chocolatey

goodness. Looking out of the window I can’t help but smile, three years ago there was nothing but a

field and woods out there and now I can see several of the packhouses. My pondering of the pack

stops when I hear a loud gasp from behind me, spinning around. I drop the wet plate to the floor and

rush over to the table. Lizzie is on the floor foaming from her mouth. It’s pouring out of her like squi nty

cream with a broken tip.

‘Lee! Get to the Packhouse now!’ I command over our pack link.

‘Coming.’ I hear back as I watch my mother clamp a hand over her mouth and rush to the full sink and

vomit clean into it.

“Mother? Anna?” What the hell is going on!

I support Lizzie’s head to stop it banging off the floor as Anna drops to the ground, she’s not foaming

from the mouth and she’s still breathing, I think she’s passed out. I’m starting to really panic and Doctor

Lee. Leon and James come rushing to the kitchen.

“What the hell?” James mutters as Doctor Lee instantly drops down beside me to check Lizzie.

“Check Anna.” I shout at James, he doesn’t move, he just stands there looking at the three very sick

females.

“James!” I shout louder, that seems to do the trick as he shakes himself

and runs over towards Anna. “Is she breathing? James? Is she breathing?” I swear my heart stops

while I wait for him to answer.
