The Transfer novel Chapter 63

Liam stopped me and pushed me gently against a rock. I sat on it without protest and crossed my arms. I felt the blood on my back and my neck, as well as on my face and hands. I knew Veronica looked worse and that's why I wasn't bothered.

I couldn't believe she had come at me like she did. My beast was pacing back and forth with pure rage and fury. She wanted blood, she wanted to put the damned female in her place.

"You're so stupid," Liam told me as he licked his thumb and wiped the blood off my face gently. My nose and mouth were bleeding but only a little.

His hot breath fanned my face and I realised that I wasn't at all mad about fighting Veronica. My beast was pissed but I felt somehow calm. She was the one in the wrong. She was the one who started the fight. She started getting angry at me and started abusing me. I was fine with staring out the window and not saying a word to her until Liam retuned.

I couldn't get in trouble for it. I hadn't done anything. I had defended myself against the crazy, jealous bitch.

"I didn't start the fight, Liam. I swear I didn't," I told him as I looked up. His eyes were fixated on my neck, which was badly bleeding. Veronica was trying to tear out my throat. She was almost successful.

Oh, how she's regret it.

"I know, sugar. But Henry won't believe that," Liam told me softly. I shut my eyes as he ripped the bottom of his shirt and used the fabric to dab at the blood on my neck.

"He should know better than anyone that his daughter is the more likely one to attack out of the two of us. I know better than to throw myself at someone like that," I said angrily. If I were to be punished and Veronica weren't, things would hit the fan.

Henry was different. He made impulse decisions. He didn't use his head and think about things. He said whatever came to his mind and got angry too fast. He wasn't a good Alpha.

"Henry does whatever Veronica wants. She's a daddy's girl and he loves it," Liam sighed out. I softened and looked at him quizzically.

"Are you telling me that I'm definitely going to be the one in trouble?" I asked him. Liam shook his head at me and sighed.

"No, but it's more than likely," Liam replied. I frowned at him and felt a little hurt. Would he stick up for me or let Henry punish me?

"But I'm not going to let him punish you for something that you didn't do, sugar. It's not right, and I've always got to defend my girl," Liam said, answering my unspoken question. I smiled weakly as I looked up at him.

My beast calmed by his presence and his touch. She knew he'd look after us and we cherished it.

"She was the one who started the argument; telling me that you were hers and that I was practically stealing you away from her," I told him. Liam bit his bottom lip slightly but he nodded at me regardless of the look of worry on his face.

"I'm sorry," I told him. He smiled weakly and shook his head as he cupped my cheek in his soft palm.

"Don't be. It's not your fault. I know she started the argument, sugar," Liam replied softly. He bent down and kissed the bridge of my nose gently. His lips were soft and comforting.

"What's her problem, Liam? Why won't she leave you alone? Is she trying to push us apart?" I asked him, hesitantly. I didn't want Veronica to be the reason for all my arguments with Liam. She wasn't that important, but she was there. She was there and it was an issue.

Liam and I were already so rocky. With me keeping secrets and him probably having secrets of his own, I we had to be careful. Our relationship was still new and we still didn't know everything about each other.

"I don't know, babe. I wish I did so I could just make her go away. But she's obsessed with tearing us apart," Liam replied. He took my hands in his and kissed the top of my knuckles gently.

My skin tingled delightfully.

"She's not going to tear us apart, is she?" I asked him. Liam shook his head at me and I nodded almost in relief. I didn't want Liam and I to fight. I wanted him that badly.

The bond was so hard to fight. It was even harder when him and I fought. I knew I didn't have a lot of time left before I had to stop fighting against the pull, but I knew I still had time. It wasn't right yet.

"You calm now? I can get Ezra or Jenny to clean your injuries properly," Liam asked me. I nodded at him, getting up from the rock slowly. My neck was beginning to ache.

"Liam," I said, stopping him as he began to walk. He turned around to face me. He raised his eyebrows at me and waited for me to speak. I gulped a little nervously.

"If something happens, you have to promise that you're going to do what's right, even if it hurts," I said. I heard the fear and doubt in my voice that fuelled the panicked inside my mind even more.

I was scared of what was going to happen. I had no idea what was actually going to happen, but I knew for sure that there was going to be something that would go down. After Veronica attacking me, and then blaming the fight on me, I knew that I wasn't going to be the most loved person in the pack.

But no matter what, Liam had to stay in Takiani and he had to make sure that Henry went down slowly and painfully. Liam was going to be Alpha one day, I knew it. My beast knew it and I had a feeling that he did too.

"What do you mean? What are you on about, sugar?" Liam asked me. He stilled a little, his eyes trained hard on me. I shook my head at him.

I wasn't trying to worry him. I was trying to get the right idea into his head.

"Even if something happens to me... or you, or anyone else... you have to do what you know is right," I told him confidently. Liam paused, frowning a little before he inhaled a little and nodded.

"Always," Liam said. But he looked doubtful. He didn't know what I was talking about, but for the moment he didn't need to. He still wasn't ready to know. He still thought reasonably highly of Henry and I didn't have any hard proof to prove that Henry was some sort of traitor.

Liam took me hand and he walked me back. When we got to my cabin, Liam told that Henry was calling him for business. So he left. But not before promising me a dozen kisses when he returned. I sat with Ezra and Jenny at the table, Jenny standing beside me as she fixed my scratched up neck.

"Henry is pissed, Ali. It took me every argument I could come up with to convince him not to throw you into a dungeon or kick you out the pack," Ezra told me. I nodded at him.
