The Transfer novel Chapter 78

"Do you think you two could shut up?" Jax hissed at Bodie and Gwendoline. I raised my eyebrows at my brother and reached across the table, punching his arm.

I looked back to Bodie and Gwendoline with a polite smile. They both laughed at me and Gwendoline winked.

Bodie pulled Gwendoline closer to him, and she wrapped her arms around him as he kissed the crescent shaped moon on her neck. She smiled weakly.

Gwendoline was officially Bodie's mate. She was also Lauri's little sister. Gwendoline was visiting Lauri for a week, and it just happened to be that Bodie and her met the night we arrived in Terialta.

Convenient.

"We need to discuss a plan, Ali. You can't stay here," Beckett said as he sat at the table. He drank from his coffee mug and put it back down as Lauri walked over and sat on his lap. She winked at me.

"The first place Henry will think to look will be here. He'll come, and you'll be forced to go back. Not to mention, Liam will probably be here in moments once he realises that you're here," Beckett said. Rae chuckled from across the table.

"Aw man, Liam. I miss that guy!" Rae said through chuckles as Samaya nudged his arm. Jax chuckled lightly from next to me.

"Where else could we go? I'm not going back to Henry. Not if he's going to throw me in the damn dungeons again. He'll probably try to kill me for setting Mira and Bodie free too," I shrugged at Beckett. I held my mug close and let the warmth come through the cup and onto my hands.

Beckett screwed up his face until Samaya piped up. "What about up south? With Liam's family? That's too far for Henry to go, and I'm sure no one would think you'd go up there."

I nodded slowly and looked to Beckett for approval. He nodded at me and grabbed his phone from his pocket. He slid it across the table to me.

"I have their number. Call. Organise it. Bodie, you will go with her. They'll bring you back if they find you here too," Beckett said, looking to Bodie. He nodded at him.

"What about me?" Gwendoline asked. I noticed Bodie squeeze her waist. I longed for Liam to do the same to me. I missed him badly.

"You can go with, but I swear to god, if you die, I'll march up there and I'll kick your damn ass," Lauri hissed out. Her sister smirked and Lauri smiled weakly.

"What happens if Henry does march up here looking for me?" I asked. I had told Beckett and the others everything. They knew all about what Henry had done.

Jax growled lowly. "I'll tear off his fucking head."

I elbowed him in the side and he only shrugged at me. I rolled my eyes and looked to Beckett. He rubbed his chin in thought.

"We'll tell him nothing. He's not our Alpha. We don't owe him anything. What happens in the pack, stays in the pack," Beckett said simply. I nodded, not wanting to argue.

"Go make the call, sis," Samaya nodded to me. I stood and nodded. I grabbed Beckett's phone and left the room. I found Nicolas' name in his contacts and I called.

I stood in my room and sat on the end of the bed. The phone rang three times before the ringing stopped and I heard Nicolas speak.

My heart was racing already.

"Hey Beckett, what can I do for you?" Nicolas answered. I smiled at my uncle's voice. I missed my other family.

"Hi Nicolas. It's Alison," I said. I heard whispers on the other line.

"Hi Alison! How's it going? What are you doing calling from Beckett's phone?" Nicolas asked me. I assumed he was with Chris and possibly Mason.

"I'm in trouble, Nicolas. I need some help," I told him straight out. I sense his confusion immediately.

"Trouble? Like what, Ali?" Nicolas asked me. I sighed out and shook my head. I couldn't tell him over the phone. I had to speak to him in person.

"I won't say it over the phone. It's much too confusing. I'll wait until we're in person... but Nicolas, me and a few others need a safe place to stay for a while," I told him quickly. I wanted to get out of Terialta as soon as possible before Henry showed up.

"A safe place? Oh! You can come stay with me. For however long you need," Nicolas rushed out. I cleared my throat slightly.

"It'll be me, two of my brothers, and two others. Is that okay?" I asked him slowly. I knew that I was asking a lot of him. It would be even more if I had to ask them to lie to Henry for me. 

I didn't expect Nicolas to keep me safe forever. I knew that I'd eventually had to return to Takiani. I couldn't avoid it.

"I have an empty house out in the woods that you could all use," Nicolas told me. I nodded and fiddled with my nails.

It was already organised that wherever I went, Jax and Rae were going to accompany me. Beckett and Samaya had to stay, because they had to look after the pack.

"I promise that the news I have for you is worth all the trouble we've been through over the last few months. It solves everything," I told Nicolas. I heard him suck in a deep breath.

"Alright. I look forward to another one of our meetings, Ali. When will you be coming down?" Nicolas sighed out. I smiled weakly as I stood.

"I think we're planning to leave today. Is that alright?" I asked him.

"Sounds fine, kiddo. See you then," Nicolas said. I nodded and hung up the phone.

I exhaled and left my room. I headed down the hallway and moved back into the kitchen. I gave Beckett his phone again and nodded at him.

"Nicolas has a house we can stay in. He said we could stay for however long we wanted," I told him. Beckett nodded, looking satisfied. He drank from his mug.

"We should leave straight away... we don't want to risk Henry showing up while you're still around. He will have figured out you escaped by now," Rae said. I nodded in agreement. I didn't want to be around Henry.

I could kill him. I was thinking about it.

"Pack up whatever you might need. We'll take the truck for most of the way. Leaving in ten minutes," Jax said, nudging my arm. I nodded as I stood. I motioned for Gwendoline to come with me. She got up from Bodie's lap and followed me down to my room.

I helped her pack a bag full of clothes. She had been staying in my room while I wasn't around, and we had slept in the same room the night before. I crashed on an air mattress and Bodie and Gwendoline took the bed.

I was thankful they were respectful enough not to do anything funky on it.

I wasn't absolutely sure where they'd found the time to mark each other. I definitely didn't want to know where they did it either.

Within ten minutes, our bags were packed and we had loaded everything into the truck. I looked to Beckett who was already smiling at me.

"Stay safe kid. Come home soon," he told me. I nodded as I hugged him. Beckett kissed the top of my head before I hugged Lauri.

"See you soon, Luna," I teased as I pulled away. She rolled her eyes at me and playfully pushed me away from her. Beckett slipped an arm around her waist and pulled her close.

I hugged Samaya. He held me tight and grunted as he released me. "Don't go getting yourself killed. Look after her okay? I'll kill both of you," Samaya said, making sure to warn Rae and Jax also.
