Chapter Nine
*Mentions gore and blood.*
Red was the color that painted the entire room and not in a good way. Emilia was hanging from the wall as her father spat foul words at her.
She couldn't hear what he was saying due to the ringing in her ears. Her vision was blurred as blood trickled from her temple.
Bruises coated her skin, trying to ignore the ache in her body. Suddenly, the left side of her face erupted with pain as her face turns from the force of a slap.
"Listen to me when I'm talking to you Emilia, what you and your boyfriend pulled back there was uncalled for. Do you know how embarrassing it was to have both of you attempt to escape and fail? I'm a laughing stock to the other scientists, I should just end your miserable life here," Father said.
Emilia laughs as she hears the words coming out of his foul mouth, "Father do you really think you could end my life? You don't even have the guts to do that, you will most likely tell one of your little dogs to end my life. Isn't that right father?"
She smirks as she sees his enraged expression. "Shut up," He yelled as he punched the wall.
His breathing was heavy and slowly he looks her in the eye, "You are someone precious to me not because you're my daughter but you are my most successful creation. And that is why I could never kill you."
Tears fell from her eyes, she smiled brokenly as she repeated what he told her over and over again in her mind. "You're a piece of shit you know that? I'm glad you told me how you really feel about me so it won't hurt as much as I watch you die," She cried out.
"You won't be able to do nothing to me in this state, look how weak you look," He said as he presses his thumb against her temple where she was wounded at. She bites her lip to keep in her scream, she doesn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her in pain.
"You doubt me too much father, I can end you so quickly that you wouldn't even realize you're already dead," Emilia spoke as her leg broke through her restraint and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.
He groans in pain and yells for the guards, "You are weak father always relying on your guards to help you out when things get rough. And that would be your downfall," Emilia spoke as her eyes furiously flashed black.
"Give her the injection," Father spoke as he stood up slightly limping. One of the guards had a syringe that had a sliver substance in it.
He stabbed it into her neck, her veins started to glow an orange color as black dots danced across her vision.
She knew what must be done, her father has to pay for his crimes. As her eyes started to close she knows that when she wakes up again all hell will break loose.

*A few days earlier*
Lorenzo panted as he ran through the woods, it physically pained him to be away from his mate. He hates that he left her behind but she was injured and she sacrificed herself so that he could escape safely.
He growls at the thought of her father hurting her if he lays a finger on her, he wouldn't hesitate to rip his heart out. He suddenly skits to a stop as his heels dig into the Earth below, familiar smells invade his nose.
They are faint but he follows the scent trying to figure out why the scents smell so familiar. A gap through the trees he sees small cabins that look identical to each other.
He sees small children running around as the adults watch over them, but at the very end, he spots a large cabin.
*The pack's cabins*
*The alpha and luna's cabin*
It brought him memories of when he was a small child, he clutched his head in pain. After memories kept flooding in, he grunted as he hit the ground.
The sound of the thud alerted the unknown people as they growled and stood protective over their young. The children whimpered as they start to run back into the comfort of their homes.
They sniffed the air and smelled a chemical scent coming from the person. They were on edge as they feared that history might repeat itself when one of their own was taken from them.
Howls filled the air as they alerted the alpha and luna of the pack. Morphing into wolves their growls filled the air as they waited for a signal to capture the rogue wolf.
"Do not let the wolf get into our territory, if he does kill him on sight and make sure that all the women and children get to safety." The alpha spoke to his pack.
"Yes alpha," the wolves said as they dispersed to keep the women and children safe as some of them stayed put.
The alpha of the pack walked hand in hand with his Luna, trying to figure out why this unknown wolf was near their territory.
Lorenzo growled as he smelled them coming closer to his figure, standing up he faced them. But he was shocked to see his own parents staring back at him.
"Lorenzo, is that you?" The Luna shakily spoke as she walked forward. Nodding his head Lorenzo said, "It's me mom I've finally returned home."
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she pulled her son into a hug. The alpha stood shocked trying to process that his son was in front of him.
"It's good to have you back son," The alpha said as he patted his son's back. His mother clutched him tightly too afraid that if she let go he wasn't going to be standing in front of her.
"Lorenzo is back, we are saved," The pack spoke as they stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.
"Our son has returned home," The alpha yells as cheers filled the air. They lead Lorenzo back to their home as the pack members swarm them trying to get a glimpse of the alpha and luna's stolen son.
Lorenzo growled as he felt the women touch him and tried to shrug them off but they were persistent on feeling him up. "Enough, I have a mate, stop touching me as it disgusts me," he yells.
They flinch not expecting that he has a mate, one of the more popular women growls as she hears this. "I don't see her anywhere so you must be lying," She growls out.
Whispers break out as they notice that his mate isn't there beside him. He sighs and turns to his parents, "This is why I'm here, can we talk in private without all these prying ears."
They nod as the pack members move out of the way to let them pass by. Walking up to the door they push the door open to let Lorenzo through and he gaps at the extravagant interior design.
Grey couches, blue and gold pillows sat on them. The walls were painted white and gold as plants sat in the corners of the room.
A black and gold carpet was on the ground, a white and gold piano stood before a plant. "Do you like it? This is where you used to live when you were younger," His mother spoke.
Nodding he turns to them, "I have no time to waste I need to discuss why I'm here, my mate is back at the lab. She wanted me to reunite with my family so she sacrificed herself to set me free."
They were surprised at the girl's courage since they knew she probably grew up there.
He continued, "I need some of the strongest warriors that you have here in the pack, they could help defeat the scientists. It took me some persuasion from my mate to leave her but now that I'm here I want her back in my arms, are you willing to help me out?"
He stared at them wanting them to challenge him but they smiled and nodded at him. "Our son is fit to be the alpha soon as he shows determination on wanting his mate back," His father spoke to his wife.
"I could care less about becoming alpha, what I desire is for my mate to be in my arms where she belongs. Let me bring back an army of warriors so that I could let her escape with me," He growls out.
"Very well son we give you permission to have our best warriors, let's go out to gather them," The luna said.
The alpha opens the door for his luna and they walk out hand in hand. Lorenzo wants his relationship to blossom like his parents and he could feel a small smile as he thinks of Emilia.
"Warriors come forth at once," The alpha bellowed out as the warriors scrambled to step forward. "My son will need assistance to bring his mate back safely so start training," He spoke.
"Yes alpha," they yelled and ran to the training yard. "Now son just rest, you have been running for a while maybe three days at most," His mother said as she gently touched his cheek.
His mother said made him realize that he was exhausted, "Fine but when I wake up we are going to get my mate."
His parents look at each other scheming a plan to have him sleep for days instead of one. "Okay go rest up," His father said.
Waving them off he entered their home and went to an empty room and laid on the bed. He went out like a light unaware that his parents were planning something that could potentially harm his mate.

"We have to do something Lorenzo can't go back even if it's for his mate," The luna spoke to her husband. "I know there must be something that we can do to make him stay even if it's a couple of days more," The alpha spoke.
"The lavender plant should do the trick of keeping him here. It would have him knocked out for at least a week and by then his mate should be dead. We can have him mate Harper, she is a promising warrior," The luna said.
"Yes, if we have him mate Harper we will have strong grand-pups. His mate is most likely a human as a nurse, or a scientist so it would be easy to kill her," The alpha said.
They nod to each other as they address the pack, "We have a plan to have his mate killed so kill all the scientists and nurses that are at the lab."
"After she is dead Lorenzo will mate Harper and have pups," The alpha said as Harper smirks as she hears the plan.
"He will be wrapped around my finger before you know it," She said while she twirls a piece of her hair around her finger.
"Good now go back to what you were doing before," The alpha said and clapped his hands together. He watched as they went to their homes back to their families.
He turns to his wife and grabs her hand to place a kiss on it, "Let's go home." She blushes and they walk hand in hand back home to their son.
*So you finally met the pack and his parents. Hope you all liked this chapter, so have a great day or night:)*
