Chapter 51
Mrs Jacob.
(Fraction)
“Mrs Jacob? What seems to be the problem?” I’m already annoyed, I wanted to spend the day with
Anna and Thomas and yet again here I am with Mrs Jacob and her backward as s views.
“These mini terrorists are wrecking my garden!” She screeches pointing at Je rry and Lizzie, looking
over at her garden I don’t see a de of grass out of ce.
“Kids go on inside please,” both of them run off into the home, both of them look relieved to no longer
be standing in front of Mrs Jacob.. “Your garden looks fine to me.” I say to her crossing my arms. “This
has to stop. You can not keep attacking members of this pack.”
“Oh please. I did not attack anyone. Why did you have to let people like him into the pack anyway?”
Mrs Jacob says angrily.
“You know why. They needed a home and we provided one, they are vital members of this pack.” I’ve
lost count how many times I’ve had this conversation with Mrs Jacob over thest three years.
“Well maybe you can move them?” She asks.
“No. They live here and you and your backward as s views are just going to have to like it or lump it.”
I’ve shocked her but I’ve lost my patience, this is all because Leon is ga y and we both know it. I watch
as she stomps her way back into her home.
Turning around I can see Anna and Thomas in the park across the road and I want nothing more than
to join them but I better make sure Jer ry

and Lizzie are ok. Sighing I walk across thewn and gently knock on the door. I wait for the door to be
answered, I don’t like just walking. into people’s homes. I find it really rude and highly disrespectful.
“Alpha.” Lizzie says in a small voice as she opens the door.
“Can Ie in, Lizzie?” into the
She nods as she leads the w kitchen, Lizzie is only twelve but she’s very mature for her age. As a small
redhead she doesn’t have the easiest time in the Pack school but here in the house she can be herself,
which I’vee to learn is a shy little bookworm.
“Where did Jer ry go?” I ask her, noticing that Jer ry isn’t in the kitchen.
“He went over to the medical centre to see Leon. He said not to open the door unless it was you, Luna
or Beta.” I nod at her, watching as she pours herself a ss of water.
“Go pop your shoes on Lizzie. You cane to the Pack House with me and Anna today, help us look
after Thomas?” I don’t like the idea of her alone in the house with Mrs Jacob on the war path.
“I don’t know, Jer ry said to stay here.” Poor kid doesn’t go anywhere with Leon or Kerry by her side.
“It will be a big help to me and I will let Leon know where you are. The smile that beams from her melts
me. She looks so proud that her Alpha has just asked for a personal favour. Pulling my phone from my
jeans I shoot James a message to go and tell Leon where Lizzie is and to make sure Jer ry has arrived.
Sure I could message Leon but why deny James the chance to see him?
Lizzie is back by the time I’m done with my text message, she’s got trainers on and a big coat. Iugh a
little but don’tment, kids use strange things forfort and maybe a big coat on such a warm day
is Lizzie’s. “Ready? Alright let’s go get Anna and Thomas.” I say leading

her out of the house. I hold my hand out for her once she locks the door and ces the key in her
pocket. She hesitates for a second but then grabs my huge hand in her tiny one. As we walk across the
garden towards the park I see Mrs Jacob’s curtains move out of theer of my eye. As an older
member of the pack she should be more aware of the impact of her words, I shake my head as we
cross the road and I wave to Anna.
“Lizzie. So nice to see you.” Anna says beaming down at Lizzie as we meet up on the path.
“Alpha said you need help with baby Thomas.” Anna looks at me and I give a small nod.
“Wow. That would be amazing, shall we head to the Packhouse?” Anna says as if having a pup with us

all day wasn’t just sprung on her. By the time we get back to the Packhouse Thomas is fussy and ready
for a sleep and Lizzie is starting to drag a bit.
“You hungry Lizzie?” I ask her, I watch as she simply shrugs her shoulders as her eyes take in
everything she can see. “Let’s get a sandwich.”
While Anna is putting Thomas to sleep I get to work putting together three bacon sandwiches while
Lizzie colours at the table.
“Oh cake!” I hear from behind me, I spin around spat in hand and see my mother eyeing the
chocte cake Anna brought home.
“I wouldn’t,” I say, turning back to the bacon. “Anna will eat you.”
“Who am I eating?” Anna says having walked into the kitchen at my threat.
“Fraction thinks you won’t share.” My mother pretends to sound sad.
“How about we have sandwiches and me, you and Lizzie can share the

cake?” I listen to Anna suggest as I put the finishing touches to the sandwiches and ce them on the
table.
“No cake from me?” I ask, shoving a sandwich in my mouth and making Lizzieugh.
“Just for thedies.” Anna says winking and Lizzie.
Once the sandwiches are done I collect the dishes up while Anna splits the cake slice in three. It’s a
ratherrge slice so they all get a good chunk each, they all eat with gusto enjoying the choctey
goodness. Looking out of the window I can’t help but smile, three years ago there was nothing but a
field and woods out there and now I can see several of the packhouses. My pondering of the pack
stops when I hear a loud gasp from behind me, spinning around. I drop the wet te to the floor and
rush over to the table. Lizzie is on the floor foaming from her mouth. It’s pouring out of her like squi nty
cream with a broken tip.
‘Lee! Get to the Packhouse now!’ Imand over our pack link.
‘Coming.’ I hear back as I watch my mother mp a hand over her mouth and rush to the full sink and
vomit clean into it.
“Mother? Anna?” What the hell is going on!
I support Lizzie’s head to stop it banging off the floor as Anna drops to the ground, she’s not foaming
from the mouth and she’s still breathing, I think she’s passed out. I’m starting to really panic and Doctor
Lee. Leon and Jamese rushing to the kitchen.
“What the hell?” James mutters as Doctor Lee instantly drops down beside me to check Lizzie.
“Check Anna.” I shout at James, he doesn’t move, he just stands there looking at the three very sick
females.
“James!” I shout louder, that seems to do the trick as he shakes himself

and runs over towards Anna. “Is she breathing? James? Is she breathing?” I swear my heart stops
while I wait for him to answer.
