Alex moved over and, as soon as she could, she wrapped her arms around the crying girl. Poor thing, I wonder what’s got her so upset, Alex was thinking as she was cooing at Lisa, telling her it would be okay and ushering her towards the cabin.

When everyone was inside, Lisa sat on a sofa with Alex beside her. Zach and James were standing. Well, James wasn’t standing, he was pacing back and forth, and Zach and Alex could feel the anger in him.

Zach was the one to speak first. “So what’s going on, why are you so angry and why is Lisa crying?”

James paced some more before taking a deep breath to steady himself. “Her father’s back. He suspects something’s up and hit her mother! Her brother had to pull him off her fucking mother! What kind of male hits their mate?”

Lisa laughed softly. Everyone looked at her and she blushed. “Sorry.”

James looked at her and seemed to calm a bit. “In anger – why would a male hit his mate in anger? He needs a fucking punch in the face!”

Alex could see James getting worked up and that wouldn’t do anybody any good.

“Okay James, you need to calm down a bit. It’s Lisa isn’t it?” Lisa nodded. “Okay Lisa, firstly, are you okay, do you want a drink or something?”

Lisa shook her head. “No thanks – I’m just scared. I know my dad can be a bit heavy-handed but I’m more scared he realises it’s me and not my mom. If he does he’ll make sure I’m locked away somewhere away from here, so James couldn’t find me. He did that with his Beta’s daughter, she wanted to marry a human and of course her dad had said no. Before anything else could be said or done, my dad had her taken away ... she didn’t come back for months and she was never the same. He’ll do that to me, shit I need to get away – now!”

Her panic was rising again and Alex calmed her down. She looked at Zach. “What do you think we should do?”

“Hell if I know!” he said.

James then went on to tell them what Lisa’s mother had said about whisking Lisa away.

“So is that what you want to do?” Alex asked both of them. Lisa was nodding her head ‘yes’ and James was shaking his head ‘no’.

Alex looked at James with an eyebrow raised and Zach smiled, that was a sight he had seen often and it usually meant she was going to get her own way. “Why not, James?”

He growled “You know me – I don’t like underhand stuff, open and honest is usually the best way. What if I just went down and spoke to him?”

Lisa started sobbing harder. “No please, don’t do that!” she hiccupped and tried to continue. “Please James, you need to trust me on this, you wouldn’t get out the house and I would be away before you could blink. I know my dad. Please, please trust me on this?”

Her plea was hard to hear, Alex’s heart went out to her.
