Saving the Beta's Daughter (Completed)

Chapter 19.1

Piper

Something bad is coming. I can feel it. And it doesn't help that Caleb is keeping something from me. Its been a week since I got that concussion. Everything was back to normal. I was comfortable with everyone. I didn't flinch. I haven't had a panic attack. There were no nightmares. But yesterday changed everything.

Yesterday, someone got hurt. Liam got hurt. He was doing patrol, and rogues attacked. Caleb left me in the pack house with Amanda, Kat, Grams, Emily, Jessica- basically all of the girls. There were about fifteen warriors in the house with us for protection. We went upstairs and went to one of the rooms with a balcony.

Caleb, Mason, and Wyatt, along with some warriors had managed to restrain the rogues. Liam was being carried away from them as the rogues were interrogated. For some reason, Caleb just interrogated them while they were outside. We all tried listening, but we couldn't hear what they were saying.

It was the most frustrating thing ever. Since I've been here, there hasn't been one attack. But they just decided to attack. I know that it was because of me. Somehow, they found out that I was here. I just know it.

But Caleb wouldn't tell me what the rogues said. I'm positive that he lied when he said that they didn't give him any information. Mason had been ignoring me. I'm sure its because Caleb told him not to tell me anything. Which just makes my theory more possible.

This just made me anxious. I didn't sleep last night. Resulting in Caleb being more stressed out than he already was. I stopped pushing him on the subject of the interrogation. It was useless trying to get information out of him. So I stopped trying.

However, that didn't mean that I stopped investigating. I heard that a group of rogues were staying outside the territory, going west. The rogues that attacked were locked up in the cellar, which was guarded by Jackson- who wouldn't let me inside. I think everyone except me knows what the rogues said. Its just that no one will tell me.

It had to have something to do with me. "Poptart" Caleb said softly as he came into his bedroom. We've both been sleeping in here. He no longer had a problem with controlling himself. There was just a few times when he had to calm himself down. But we managed to sleep in the same bed without any incidents. "You wanna eat? We have s'mores Poptarts" he offered.

I silently shook my head while looking at the wall behind my mate. They found me. And they'll kill the pack again- just like they did with Mason's pack. Everyone is gonna die because of me. I shouldn't have even stayed with Grams in the first place. "Try to get some sleep" he whispered before leaving and gently closing the door behind him.

More people will get hurt. Its all gonna be my fault. I can't let more people die. People have families. Caleb has family. I can't let any of them get hurt. Liam had already gotten hurt because of me. His father died because of me, now Liam's injured because of me. Zeke had to kill someone because of me. Mason had to lose his pack because of me.

I'm just screwing up everyone's lives. "Piper, darlin'" Grams said while peeking her head into the room. "You alright?" she asked softly. I nodded my head, still lost in my thoughts. No one would've ever gotten hurt if I just stuck to the plan.

Zeke and I could've been far away from all of this. And if the rogues found us, no one would have gotten hurt. We would've just been brought back to Alpha Terence and Father. I would've been punished, but at least everyone else would've been safe.

I would give up everything if everyone else was safe. If I could bring back the people who died, I would do it in a heartbeat. They didn't deserve to die. "Pipes" Sam and Zeke came into the room with frowns on their faces.
