Pet Completed Liam Payne Au
Chapter Twenty FourBound
Niall raised his eyebrows when he saw me walking into his hospital room with Liam following, his hand clipped to my waist. "Did you have to leave such obvious hickeys? You're a rookie, Liam," Niall snorted. I clapped my hands over my throat automatically, blushing like mad. Liam gave a quick glance around to check if the coast was clear before pulling me into his side and kissing the side of my face, his lips drawn up into a smile. "Gotta mark the territory. But don't worry, I have more that you can't see." Niall's face twisted into a scowl of distaste. "No thanks." I giggled, hiding in Liam's warm chest. Liam rubbed my back before pushing me towards the spinning chair by Niall. I bounced onto it and slid beside him. "How are you feeling today?" I asked immediately, holding out his glass of water to him. "Much better. The pack doctor might let me go back to my room tonight, but I'll be on bed rest. I may be able to walk by tomorrow," he said, giving Liam a pointed look. "We need to make a plan." Liam towed another chair over and plopped next to me, nodding slowly and thoughtfully. He kept his gaze on me, his expression not giving many clues to what he was thinking about. "We do. And we will. Tonight, once you get back into your room we will meet up and talk. It's too public here." Liam had a foot on the leg of my chair, pushing me and then pulling me back out of boredom. When I gave him a questioning look, he leaned forward to cup my chin, about to press his lips to mine when the door to the room opened and one of his pack members came in. Liam jerked back and gaped at the pack member, who was also gaping back at us. He knew, by the look he was giving us, he knew it was more than just a Pet to Master interaction. Liam got to his feet, cursing under his breath, just as the guy who stepped in ducked out. "I'll be right back, I promise," Liam murmured, brows knit together. "Stay here." I watched Liam speed-walk out of the door and chase the guy, before turning to Niall, who bit his lip. "Looks like this escape will have to come a little quicker than we thought." After what felt like hours of waiting for Liam to come back, I was half-laying on Niall's bed with my head resting on my arms. The Irish gimp was already out, and I had just started to follow suit when a hand touched my back. A gentle kiss was pressed to my cheek before the hair that was in my face was brushed away. Liam kissed the corner of my mouth and trailed softly to my ear."Wake up, gorgeous. Let's go to our room." I shook my head, pushing him away. "Don't wanna move." "It'll only take a minute, then you can go back to sleep. Come on, love," Liam murmured, helping me to my feet. "We'll see if Niall is ready to move when you wake up." I nodded sleepily, rubbing my eyes and yawning. "I'd carry you if I could, but we've already had one too many close calls today," he explained as he guided me towards the door. I slowly trudged in front of him, and I could tell Liam was trying to play up the whole "Master" role by sending off dominating vibes as he towered over me. But once we got to our room, he dropped it by wrapping his arms around me and kissing the top of my head. "I hate this. I hate it so much," he growled. "You deserve so much better." Liam gently lifted me up and set me into bed, pulling the blankets up to my shoulders before sitting beside me. "I shouldn't have kept you. I'm so sorry," he told me. I gave him a reassuring smile. "If you hadn't kept me, the other guy would have. It's okay." I sighed and yawned, reaching out to touch the hand that was covered in ink. Someday I'd have to find teh secrets behind the permanent darkness of his skin, but it could wait. "That guy? Are we screwed?" Liam shook his head. "He is a loyal member of my pack. Always has been. He had suspected, but also guessed we were trying to keep it hush. He understands what it means to have a mate. Unfortunately his passed away a couple years ago. He, Thomas is his name, has promised to keep it a secret, and to stand behind me regardless," Liam explained. "We can trust him." I nodded slowly. "That's good, right? Why do you look upset?" "Thomas told me that not everyone feels the same. We are still screwed. And we are most definitely getting out of here. Tomorrow night. Tomorrow afternoon my Beta and I will have a meeting and I'll explain to him that I'm leaving, and taking the humans out of here, passing the title to him. Thomas confirmed that he is also loyal to me. I've always trusted him, and wouldn't expect anything different." "So this is my last night here?" "Yes." I gazed around the room, taking in all the details, and my eyes fell onto the book that Liam snapped at me for. "Tell me about that book," I requested. It was Liam's turn to sigh, and his face fell, a dark cloud seeming filling his eyes. "Years ago, I got my third pet. All the other ones only lasted a couple weeks. I didn't kill them or anything - I wiped their memory and dropped them back in their home towns, but let everyone believe they were destroyed. It was safer that way, but I just didn't want their blood on my hands. I didn't care for any of them. Then a bright girl was brought into me, having crossed onto our borders whilst running from her family. She was twenty, close to my age, and was intelligent and just... good. You remind me of her a little bit. Her name was Stella - but I always called her Ella, for some reason. It fit her better. Ella told me that she ran because her parents kicked her out and treated her like crap. It took a month for me to fall for her. Two for her hair to start falling out. Then she told me the truth. She had pancreatic cancer and was in stage four. Instead of telling her parents and letting them watch her die, she was going to live out her last days in the woods." I moved over so Liam could lay back, which he did. And then I slipped my hand into his, which he squeezed tightly. "My feelings for her were never as strong as they were for you, by the way. I was mostly protective of her. But once I knew the truth, I did everything I could to try and help her find a cure. I was desperate. Ellla wasn't. She just wanted to have a good last few months. Another month passed, and I was cleaning up bloody vomit most days, but some days she would act like the spunky girl I found in the woods. She made me promise to give up. And I did. We pretended as best as we could that she wasn't sick, that she wasn't dying in front of me. The last month of her life, her body was so weak I had to help her walk. When I wasn't working, I was laying in bed with her listening to choir music. Homeward Bound was her favorite. The night... The night she moved on, I knew it was her time. She was so sleepy, so weak, but had a smile on her face, and demanded I put Homeward Bound on repeat. We were staying in a different room than you and I do now. It was on the first floor. But... after she took her leave of this world, right to the end of the song, by the way, I demanded to be moved to the top floor. I gave her a proper burial, I even found her parents, told them as much as I could about her and her last days and payed for their funeral services." His eyes were glassy, but he didn't shed any tears. "I was angry, bitter. Then I treated my pets like absolute shit. I... One of them... She found pictures of Ella and I. And I got so angry..." "Don't, don't say it. It's okay." Liam lifted me into his lap and buried his face into my neck. "You mean so much to me. I don't know what I'd do without you. That is why we are leaving all of this behind. If anything were to happen to you like Ella... I'd destroy everyone."
