“Babysitting” We drove for six hours for me to babysit” His attitude doesn’t surprise me, we have our
own thing going on at the moment and he doesn’t think we should be here I disagreed so here we are
“In the span of two weeks that kid has lost his Uncle, his grandmother and his sister. His parents are
catatonic in grief and now his other Uncle has gone off, so yeah. I want you to go and babysit.” Lewis
doesn’t argue further as I put a little more authority around my voice, he just tucks tail and runs into the
house.
I expected more people to be around.” This comes from Cas as he
Fixing the ph
walks over to me. Cas always reminds me of the avenging angel he’s named after. His parents are
religious as hell and thought it was great to name their kid after a warrior of heaven. He has this whole
giant thing going on, standing at six foot five he’s without a doubt the tallest guy I know, his dark hair is
cut short but always seems to have this just ruffled look like he’s always running his hands through it.
“The warriors are out on Patrol.” I nod towards the house and Cas follows me, our warriors will wait out
here until we give them the orders they are waiting for “I think the rest of the Pack is giving the house a
wide berth. Can’t you feel it?”
“I can, it’s the Omega right?” I nod my head at Cas as I lead him towards Fraction’s office. “It’s
suffocating, is it always like this?” I don’t think Cas has ever met an Omega before but thankfully he’s
more open minded than his parents
“No, this is rare. Anna is pretty good at controlling her emotions, Fraction helps her. With both of them
down though I think she’s a little. out of control.” Cas just nods at me, he might not understand but he’s
a wait and see what you show me before I pass judgement kind of guy
Once we are outside of Fraction’s office I square my shoulders and pray to the Goddess that we can
get him back on his feet before Rick gets back. Pushing the office door open the first thing that hits me
is the smell, it’s like old gym socks and whiskey, just as I expected. Fraction has been drowning himself
in drink. I doubt he’s left the office in days.
“Sh it.” Cas breathes out as he walks into the office behind me. Fraction. is slumped over his desk, the
bottle of whiskey he was emptying is knocked over and I can smell where it’s soaked into the carpet
next to
his desk.
“Let’s get him up, the warriors have a communal shower. Let’s get him.
O
cleaned up.” Cas doesn’t say anything as he walks around the other side of the desk and gra
one of Fraction’s arms. I grab his other and we both heave Fraction into a standing position, he’s not
the easiest guy to move thanks to how bulky he is. His feet drag along the floor as
pull him out of the office.
We
“Alpha?” I turn to the small voice seeing a young woman in a pair of leggings and a t-shirt, her short
brown hair sitting just above her shoulders.
“We are just going to get your Alpha cleaned up, maybe some coffee?” The young woman just nods
and runs off towards the kitchen. Hitching Fraction up slightly, me and Cas start walking towards the
stairs, it’s not until we get there that I realise we have a problem. “How the hell are we going to get him
up there?”
“Watch out. I got him.” Cas says as he bends his knees and puts his shoulder in Fractions stomach. I
was as the giant picks Fraction clean. off the floor and carries him up the stairs. I don’t know how he
does it but the man doesn’t even break a sweat at carrying a full grown Alpha. Quickly running after
him I led the way to the communal shower room. I’ve used this room myself once or twice so I know it’s
more than big enough for the three of us.
“Drop him there.” I point under one of the shower heads and watch as Cas carefully places Fraction on
the white tiled floor. He leans his back against the wall, Fraction’s head falls forward in a comical
fashion but it’s anything but funny.
“Now?” Cas asks as he steps back once he is sure Fraction is not going to slump to the floor. I don’t
answer him, using the dials on the wall I pick the coldest setting possible and let the shower rain down
on the comatose Alpha.
Just as I expected Fraction jolts awake and immediately stands, he’s
roaring and shouting incoherent words. I nod at Cas and he puts at hand on Fraction’s shoulder pinning
him under the water.
“What the hell?” Fraction gasps as the cold water pours down on him, Cas looks like a drowned rat as
well but he keeps a firm grip on Fraction. He knows we need Fraction with all his faculties so he will do
what’s needed, regardless of a little cold shower.
“You hearing me?” I ask Fraction, his eyes flash to me and I see Leo flickering behind them. “I asked
you a question. Alpha.”
“I hear you.” Fraction spits some water on the floor and pushes Ca s’s hand off him. He doesn’t move
from under the water though, he has a slight wobble to his stance so I don’t think he can move if I’m
honest.
“It’s time to get your shi t together.” I tell him simply, taking a step closer to him. his eyes are trying to
focus on me but his wobbling from side to side is making it difficult.
“You don’t understand. how could you? You don’t have a pup or a Luna!” He roars at me. I know he’s
trying to hit me where it hurts but I let his words roll off me like the water rolling down his body. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“You’re right. I can’t know what it’s like to lose a pup but I do know what it’s like to lose a mother.” His
eyes grow sad as I bring up Momma Beth. “I get that you’re grieving the loss of your mother and your
pup but it’s time to pull your head out of your as s.” Fraction just huffs at me. “Your Head Warrior has
found a lead.”
“Don’t talk about that ars eh ole to me, if it wasn’t for him my pup would still be here.” I don’t see
Fraction move, one second he’s under the pray of cold water and the next he has me pinned to the
tiled wall. Cas is just standing there with a look of amusement on his face.
“He might have found James and Aurora, we need you sober and functional. Unless you want me to
leave your family with a bunch of
shifter hating Bible thumpers.” I see Cas flinch out of the corner of my eye, he might not agree with his
parents but he was raised with a certain amount of respect for the Bible.
“Where are they?” Fraction hands loosen on my shirt, he doesn’t step back but he’s not holding me as
tightly as he was.
“Get cleaned up. then get your Luna and we can talk. I’ve spoken with the Elders and I have some
information that will help us win this battle.” Fraction just stares at me for a long time before taking a
step back and lifting the sodden wet shirt over his head, he shucks his jeans and walks back over to
the shower. He places a hand on the wall as I press a few buttons and change the water so it’s slightly
warmer, Fraction tilts his head down so the water runs a river down his tattooed back, his ‘Little Wolf’
tattoo standing proudly as his most recent addition. Nodding at Cas I walk from the shower room and
make my way up to Anna.
