Fragile Heart

Chapter 30

Chapter 30- Layla

"Oh my god," I whispered.

Laying there, at the the feet of Mr. Darren, was none other than the bastard himself.

Blood was smeared everywhere, on his face, soaked into his bare skin. The shreds of clothes he had on were stained red, and it looked as if he was barely breathing. Bodies were lying everywhere around them. Dead bodies.

I started looking around for Jordi, frantically. I couldn't find him anywhere! Where the hell is he?

I wasn't worried about that bastard. I knew Mr. Darren would keep him on the edge of life, waiting for Jordi, I guess, to end his worthless life once and for all.

There was a random silver wolf standing next to Mr. Darren though. I know it isn't Taylor or Jordi. I'm not sure if it could be Brett or Judd, but I'm not worried about that right now.

A noise came from beside me, and I looked over to see Kelsey with her hand over her mouth, tears edging in her eyes.

I looked in the direction she was, my heart breaking at the sight.

In the arms of Jordi, was an unconscious Ben.

"No!" I ran, not thinking. I ran to my baby brother, tears rushing down my face.

I was suddenly held back by something, not being able to move forward. "Shh, calm down. You don't need to see that. He's going back to the pack for medical attention." Taylor told me, while cradling my head away from the scene.

A few minutes of struggling, I finally gave up. A few minutes after so I was pulled into a different embrace. Skin collided with my face, sending sparks through my wet cheeks. "Hey baby, you're okay."

I looked up, "I-"

"Don't speak, it's okay."

"W-What ab-about hi-him?" I looked over his shoulder at the bloodied man on his knees. Every time he would try to get up, Mr. Darren would shove him down while the mystery wolf growled.

Jordi growled when he realized what I was referring to. "I'll end him."

"Do it now. Please."

I watched as Jordi released me, walking over to his father, the wolf, and Marcus.

"You sure you want to watch?" Kelsey spoke from beside me. She apparently walked over when Jordi released me from his protective grip.

"I have to." My face turned cold. "It's the only way to get closure."

She only nodded and threw her arm around me.

I watched as Jordi circled the bastard. While Marcus looked up at him with desperation in his sorry eyes.

Without a second thought, Jordi brought down his hand viciously along the side of his face, a sickening crack rang through the area as Marcus' body collapsed, unmoving.

I didn't wince, or look away. It's good that the bastard died.

-------

"What the hell?! I told you both to keep her home!" Jordi yelled in the car.

He insisted on driving us back after washing off in the lake nearby.

"Stop it Jo, I told her to bring me." I told him.

"I couldn't deal with myself if I knew I'd lost you today."

"But you didn't."

Silence followed for a few minutes, then tears began making their journey down my face for I don't know what time today. "Where is Ben?"

"He was rushed back to the pack doctor. He was malnourished and had gashes in his sides. There was a noticeable scar on his neck that wasn't there before." He spoke grimly.

I took in a huge breath. "I need to see him."

--------

"Ben!" I rushed into the hospital room, breaking at the sight of my baby brother hooked up to wires, unconscious on the hard white bed.

I layer my head on the side, clutching his small hand with my own. It was so cold.

An arm snaked around me, drawing comforting circles on my back. "I just spoke with Dr. James and he said Ben should be waking up sometime tomorrow. He should be fine, but just needs extreme rest. He was malnourished so they're giving him nutrients through the IV. He," he paused and took a deep breath, "He won't be able to speak though."

The breath seemed to leave my body. "He what?"

"He explained that during X-Rays and MRI's to check anything. There was a tear right where the scar is on his neck. He believes a knife or sharp object may have been used on him. He told me that his vocal cords where ripped and he may not be able to speak ever again."

I tried to make sense of the words. My baby brother can't speak.

I cried even more. I cried for my brother, who was tortured for weeks on end and starved. I cried in pain for my brother. I cried in relief for my brother.

--------

"Babe, I have someone I want you to meet." Jordi said, turning me around in his arms to look at him.

He hasn't let me go since we got back. I love him so much.

"Who?"

"You know that wolf you saw by my dad earlier?"

I nodded hesitantly. "Well he's in my office and wants to meet you."

We walked to his office hand in hand.

We walked in, and I came face to face with my father. My true father.

"Hi." He spoke.

"Why?" Was the only thing I truly wanted to know.

"I-"

"Why did you leave me? For that?!?" I spoke angrily,referring to the bastard who was thankfully gone from this world now.

"I'm sorry." Is all he said.

I stayed quiet.

"I have no real reason. I met my true mate. That's it. I'm sorry I left you. I'm sorry I left your mom. I'm sorry. I just wish you can forgive me for all my wrongs. I want to be there for you, now."

I only walked forward, into his arms. "I'm sorry." I don't know why I was apologizing, but I always wanted fatherly comfort, and now that it's in front of me, who am I to refuse it.
