The Transfer novel Chapter 74

"Henry! Come quick! This girl! She was looking through the valley. She came inside and was looking through our things," Livia said, throwing me a discreet look that told me she was doing it to protect me as well as the others.

If Henry knew that I knew about him and his evil plans, then he'd kill me for sure. I had to pretend like I knew nothing. It was the safer option.

My beast howled in agony. She wanted his head on a damned stick. He was no Alpha. He was a monster.

I wasn't sure if I could even tell anyone else about it. If I told the others, the first thing they'd do would be tell Liam. I had to keep them all safe.

I could start by finding Mira and getting her out the dungeon she was being kept in. I had to find her. It was the witches' only hope at escaping Henry. It was my only hope at getting rid of Henry too.

"Did she find anything?" Henry hissed out to them. They all shook their heads. I realised that they were all scared of him.

They didn't want him to kill their friend. They feared what he would do to them. I was sure they could kill him in seconds, but what happened after that was a whole different story.

I didn't blame them for doing what they were doing. They were protecting me yet throwing me under the bus at the same time. Their friend, Mira was much more important than I was to them and I understood.

"Hold her still!" Henry demanded to them. One of Henry's men held shackles in his hands. I widened my eyes at them. Were they seriously going to shackle me?

I felt my body freeze completely. I couldn't move. It was similar to what happened when I first arrived at the witches' cottage. I wasn't in pain. Yet.

Henry stormed up to me and I held my breath. He was seething anger. I knew he wanted to kill me.

"You little shit. Can't you stop putting your nose where it doesn't belong?" He shouted at me. I shuddered. I was scared that he would hurt me. What if he did? What would I tell everyone?

No one would believe that their Alpha hurt me. None of them would be on my side. I couldn't expect everyone to turn on their Alpha.

Henry hit me, his claws raking across my cheek. I yelled as my body flew to the floor. I hit the ground hard, wincing. My face burned painfully. I felt the blood drip down my neck and soak into my shirt.

"Put the shackles on. Let's get her back," Henry demanded. The men who were with him rushed over to me. They handled me aggressively and I squirmed. I tried to fight them.

They overcame me and they put the shackles on me. They did them up tight, my wrists burnt. Henry scoffed at me.

"I can't believe it. Talking to rogues about attacking the pack? Traitor," Henry laughed at me. I widened my eyes at him as I knew exactly what he meant.

He was going to tell everyone I was working with the rogues.

"No! I wasn't! I was just walking, I swear. I saw the cottage and wanted to know if anyone lived in it. Please don't!" I cried out as I was lifted off the ground and to my feet. Henry scoffed at me and looked away.

"Sugar, what's wrong?" Liam called to me. He must've felt my panic and distress.

"Let's get her back. Everyone needs to know what a traitor she is," Henry demanded. He flicked his hand and the men holding me began to pull me back in the direction of the pack.

"Next time, don't let her anywhere near the house. That brat was too close," Henry hissed at the witches. They all nodded at him and watched me get dragged away.

"Henry! Don't do this! It's wrong," I cried out as tears streamed down my face. My mind raced with the most overwhelming thoughts. I couldn't control my emotions.

Henry had killed Liam's parents. He was responsible for everything this pack had been through. He was a monster.

I was too upset to get angry or shift to attack him. I couldn't fight back. I had no choice.

If I attacked Henry, I'd probably be thrown out the pack. I was stuck. I couldn't do anything but let it happen.

My beast howled.

"Don't try to get yourself out of this. We know what you did. I should kill you for fraternising with rogues, but your little brothers would come running along looking for war if I did that," Henry hissed out. I sobbed softly as we came to the trees.

I was going to be known as a traitor to the entire pack. Everyone would hate me.

"Sugar? Where are you?" Liam called to me again. I wanted to tell him to attack Henry so bad. I wanted to tell him to take me far away from Takiani. I wanted to never return.

"Alison Grey, answer me!" Liam shouted.

I didn't answer him. I knew that I couldn't talk to him. I would tell him everything. I needed to keep my mouth shut.

When we made it back to the pack, there were all too many people out and about. Lila and Lucas were training, and as soon as they saw Henry, they saw me and came running.

"What are you doing?" Lucas shouted at Henry. He lunged for me, and wolves appeared straight away to push him back. A circle formed around me that kept everyone else from getting to me.

"Stay back! She's a traitor. She's working with the rogues!" Henry hissed out. I tugged hard at the men holding me, and they both shoved me in the back.

I heard a roar from the woods. It was loud and it echoed over the entire pack. It shook the ground beneath my feet and made me tremble. It was Liam.

I looked around from him. I saw him, Leon and Quo running out the trees. Liam looked pissed as he ran towards me. I tried to go to him, but I was tugged back hard.

My emotions were all over the place. I felt like a mess of a roller coaster. I was scared... not just for myself but also for my friends. What would happen to them if something happened to me?

"Henry! Let her go!" Liam demanded as he pushed the men around me to the ground. He grabbed me and pulled me to him. The men behind me grabbed my arms and pulled me back hard.

Liam growled at them and they tugged me back again. Men began to tug Liam away, and he just shoved them off and came back to me.

"Let her go or I'll have your head on a stick," Liam growled out to the men behind me. He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me to him yet again.

"Liam, leave it. She's a traitor. She's been planning an attack on Takiani with the rogues this entire time," Henry yelled. He came forwards and tried to take me from him. Liam growled at him, a warning to stay away.

"Liam, don't," I warned him. Liam had to let it happen. He had to let Henry take me.
