Chapter 83

vThe accident.

(Fraction)

Sighing I flip to the next page of the complaint form, I used to get maybe one or two of these a month

and now I have several per day. It’s a system I put in place when I first became Alpha, people are more

likely to tell you how they feel if they aren’t speaking directly to a authoritative figure. In the past I would

try to find a way to resolve the complaint but these days I’m not sure what to do. For the first time since

becoming Alpha, I feel lost.

‘We need to get rid of this bitc h.’ Leo tells me as I rub my eyes.

‘No sh it, what tipped you off? These complaints or waking up with her on my coc k?” I ask him as I pull

a fresh complaint form towards me.

‘I still can’t believe you let that happen. I can still feel her hands in my fur.’ I swear I can feel him

shaking with revulsion, ‘Winter won’t talk

to me.”

“Has she spoken to you at all?’ Leo is the only connection I have to Anna now, our own connection

broke the second I rejected her.

‘No, she’s being moody and I blame you for that.’ I roll my eyes, of course he blames me, ‘and she told

Anna we were with Faye.”

‘It wasn’t like that!’ Her da mn wolf is whispering about things she doesn’t understand.

‘She doesn’t know that, between the dream and then waking up with Faye…it is easily confused.’ Leo

tells me, he’s trying to defend his mate which I understand but at the end of the day he’s causing more

problems that I need right now.

My office door opening draws me out of my conversation with Leo, which is probably a good thing

given the anger rising in me. Thankfully it is James that walks into the office and not Faye, he’s still in

his pyjama bottoms but at least he’s managed to put a t-shirt on this time.

“Long night.” he tells me while putting a cup of coffee in front of me, the smell of dark Colombian roast

fills my nose and I reach for it instantly.

“I bet mine was longer.” I tell him as I take a sip of my coffee.

“How did she get in? I checked the house after and all the doors were locked.” James tells me. I can

see this is annoying him. As Beta he wants to know how she got in so he can ensure it doesn’t happen

again.

“I don’t know, she must have been in the room when I went to bed but I didn’t even scent her.”

Admittedly I was distracted by Anna’s scent on the bed sheets but I still would have known she was

there.

“I’ve never heard of a way of masking your smell.” I nod at him in agreement, I’ve not heard of a way of

masking your scent either.

“Want to help me with these complaints?” I ask him while waving my hand over my desk.

“Let me guess, all about Faye?” I tilt my head to the side, as if he had

to ask.

Just as I’m about to pass a form to James, the door to the office slams open, I look up to see Eliza red

faced and out of breath.

“Thomas!” She gasps out, I’m up and out of my office before she takes her next breath. Reaching out

to my link I pull back the wall I have in

17.75%

place and I’m assaulted by noise.

‘Get him to medical.’

‘Someone tell the Alpha.’

‘Where’s the Doctor?’

All the voices blend together. I can’t pick out any one voice from all the ones swirling around in my

head. Leaving the Packhouse I run towards the park as I know thats where Eliza took Thomas this

morning. As I get closer to the park I see Leon standing there, he’s covered in blood, it’s all over his

arms and b*dy.

“What happened?” I demand as I get closer, I can hear Leo bleeding into my voice.

“There was a car..” he starts waving wildly behind him, “it just came out of nowhere…” I’ve never seen

Leon panic before but right now he’s shaking with the fear rolling off him.

“Where is he. Leon? Where is Thomas?” I shake him again and his head bobs around as if separate

from his b*dy.

“Patrick…medical centre.” As soon as he stops speaking I drop him and start running. I ignore

everyone I see. Some are shouting about Thomas and some are asking about the blood that has

transferred to me from Leon’s clothes.

As I round the corner I see Patrick standing outside of it ringing his hands through his hair, his clothes

are just as covered in blood as Leon’s.

“Rick?” I shout as I run closer, his head spins to me and jogs to meet me halfway. “What happened?”

“Lizzie and Thomas were playing with the football, a car came racing down the street. It mounted the

curb and over Thomas before I could even move. It was going at some hellish speed.” He explains it all

to me as we walk towards the medical centre, I stop and look at him.

“Is he..?” I can’t get the word out I just know it can’t be good given all the blood on Leon and Rick.

“He’s in surgery with Doctor Lee. I don’t know much more than that,” I nod at him, he’s alive at least for

now.

“I need you to call Anna, get her here.” I tell him as I pull the medical centre’s door open. I’m instantly

assaulted with medical smells and the sound of people shouting orders.

“Faye won’t like that, she’s been sent away.” Rick says running a blo ody hand threw his hair.

“I don’t care what that bit ch likes, our son is hurt and she needs to be here. Get her here.” I say

between clenched teeth, “and take a shower, you’re a mess.” I leave him there on the steps of the

medical centre, he’s staring at his bloo dy hands like they aren’t his own.

I walk straight past the nurses station and completely ignore the young woman behind the desk, she

calls out for me but I just want to get to my son. I follow the signs to the surgical area but once I stand

outside of the surgical doors I just stare at them. I want nothing more than to barge in there and find out

what’s going on but I don’t want to startle Doctor Lee while he has his hands inside of my son. Forcing

myself to take a seat in one of the blue chairs along the wall I just sit and stare at the doors and will

them to open.

I’m not sure how long I sit there when James and Patrick come along the hall and sit on either side of

me.

“Anna is on her way, I just told her it’s about Thomas but not what

happened.” I nod my head at him.

“That’s good, I don’t want her driving and worrying.” I say in a daze, my eyes haven’t left the doors

where Thomas is currently with Doctor Lee. “Any news on the car?”

“Mrs Jacob, she says she lost control of the car. The old bat shouldn’t even be driving.” James tells me.

“So it was an accident?” I ask them both, “f uck!” I stand from the chair and slam my fist in the wall

behind me. I was hoping I could punish someone for hurting my son but how can I punish a tiny old

lady for driving a car and losing control of it.

“Alpha Fraction?” I hear from behind me. I spin around to see Doctor Lee in full scrubs and wiping his

hands with a clean rag.

“How is he?” I ask him quickly.

“He’s going to be fine. The car hit his right side, he has a dislocated hip and a broken leg but otherwise

it’s just bumps and bruises. It could have been much worse.” Doctor Lee says in a calling voice. “the

leg break is going to take some time to heal. The tibia came up and punctured his skin,” at least that

explains the blood.

“But he’s going to be ok?” I ask him again, needing reassurance.

“Give me a bit of time to get him cleaned up and then you can see him.” He reaches over and

squeezes my shoulder and smiles at me before going back through the doors.

Walking back over to the blue chairs I sit down and wait, my entire b*dy is screaming at me to storm

into the room and demand I see him. I don’t know anything medical so if I storm in there at the wrong

time I could do some serious damage to my son. So I will sit here and wait, my knee starts to bounce

the longer I sit and wait.

“Anna is here.” James whispers from next to me.

“Can you go and meet her, I don’t want to leave him.” I ask James, he just stands up and goes to meet

her at the Pack land boundary. Anna can’t come onto Pack land without an escort anymore and I just

don’t want to leave Thomas alone right now, James will get her here safely.
