The Strong Bond novel Chapter 56

"You can even add more guards while you're gone if that would help. You really do need to get something to eat, and some rest. You need your strength for when she wakes. Starving yourself, and not resting isn't keeping your strength up" she explained. Damian couldn't help let her thoughts sink in, and knew Claire was right. He also knew his little red wouldn't let it go if she found out he didn't keep himself healthy. Though, it was hard for a wolf to smile, but if they could one would be there right now thinking about her sassiness. Shifting back into a human form grabbing the shorts that were left in the room for him, he threw them on. Damian mind linked Ashton to meet him, and to bring Blair as well as Lena's brother.

Moments later all three of them were at the door waiting as Blair held in her excitement. She was actually allowed to see her cousin finally. She held back the tears that threaten to fall knowing any unwelcome movement or motions appeared, Damian was sure to not let her pass. He warned them all that anything or anyone gets past her door, he won't think twice in ending their life. He's putting his trust, and her life in their hands. They were not allowed to leave the room unless ordered by him. No one dared spoke just nodded in understand, and watched as he walked over to Lena placing a kiss on her forehead. Before leaving the room he told them he wouldn't be gone long, and not to disappoint him.

Outside stood Alpha Grayson and Jared Evans discussing pack business while supervising the others. Even though they're in a deep discussion, Jared quickly noticed the male figure storming across the yard. Alpha Grayson followed Jared's attention just in time to get a glimpse of his son stepping through the front doors.

"Shit! Here we go" the Alpha mumbled.

"Well, we better go handle this before it gets out of hand" Jared sighs, and his Alpha nods in agreement. Both men were quickly on their feet heading towards the pack house.

"Don't let anyone inside this house till I say so" the Alpha order his Beta Kolton who was standing outside the front doors.

"Yes Alpha" he response bowing his head. Without another word both man made their way inside quickly heading towards the medical ward where they knew he was going.

"Let me through, I'm here to see Lena" Keith ordered to the man that was standing in front of her room door.

"No one's allowed in without the Alpha's orders" the man on duty responded keeping this stance.

"Well I'm the Alpha's son, and next in line to be Alpha so I'm allowed through" he stated as a matter of fact tone.

"Well it wasn't your Alpha who gave the orders" he pointed out as he continued to stand there with his leg slightly parted, and his arms crossed.

"Well I don't give a fuck what your Alpha's orders are. She's part of my pack! Now I suggest you move, before I move you" Keith stated through clenched teeth balling up his hands. Suddenly the other protectors moved in closer just in case Keith decided to make good on his threat.

"You might be crazy enough to trust Alpha Shaw, but I on the other hand will never" Keith seethed.

"Keith that's enough!" his father yelled. "There are things you don't know about. I' am still the Alpha and your father don't forget that. You'll do as your told" his father reminded him. "Now you will come with us or I'll make you!" he warned.

Keith knew his father well enough not to test him when he was in Alpha mode. With one last glare towards Terrance he turned on his heels, and headed towards his father. He followed them out of the medical ward unit, and onto the back-porch area.

"Now, what is it that you need to tell me?" he said as soon as they stepped out in the cool breeze.

"It's about Alpha Shaw, and the reasons he acts the way he does when it comes to Lena" Jared begins to explain, looking at Keith with empathy.

Darkness falls over giving the bright full moon the only light to see. At times, it would be hidden by the dark thick clouds making it almost impossible to see in front of you. This time Music played in the back ground like a haunted melody giving you goosebumps. The classical dark tune of the piano was loud, intense, and most of all powerful. But something about the way it was played was sad, yet beautiful.
