Chapter 6
'RUN, SON!!' My father screams.
'NO!, I will not leave you behind.' I said refusing to leave.
We were surrounded by now by werewolves, witches, vampires and a ton of goblins. All of them laughing evilly in our direction.
Most of my father's pack lay dead all around us. Only 43 of us remained.
'Alpha, the enemy is getting closer. We need to get you out of here' Beta Ren said.
My father looked at Ren, a sad look on his face. 'I will not be leaving. However my son is' He declared.
'The hell I am!' I shout.
'We are staying here with you guys. We wanna fight to defend our pack' even if it means our death!' My best friend Max said.
'No! You are leaving with Nicolas. Our lines will survive with you, son' Beta Ren said.
'Father...' I began.
'Shush my son. Be strong, be courageous, and remain vigilant, once these people find out you survived they will stop at nothing to kill you both.' Dad said.
I feel tears streaming down my face. I felt like my heart was being stabbed over and over again. My hands formed fists. I was angry. No I was beyond angry, I was in a full on rage! How dare these scums try and kill my family!
'I will kill them all for what they have done!' I scream. All my rage, all my emotions clear on my voice.
I feel a hand placed on my shoulder. I look up and find my father's eyes staring into mine.
'Then survive, my son! Live so you can bring death and vengeance to the foul and evil beings who have killed us.' My father said, his voice dripping with great sadness.
The rest of my family, my mother, my two older brothers and my older sister all come close to me and embrace me one last time.
'Be strong my son' my mother said.
'Be fearless in battle' My older brother said.
'Be smart about all your choices my brother' My sister said.
'And above all, be an example to the children that will accompany you. Be the Destroyer of the enemy, and Protector of our beloved pack' My oldest brother said.
'And never forget us, or our love and sacrifice. And remember not how we died, instead remember us while we lived, HOW we lived, my dear brother' My sister said, her voice hushed like my families. I feel something slide into my hands, and see a box on my hand.
I look at my sister. 'What's this?' I ask confused.
My sister smiles. 'Your birthday gift from all of us' She says.
I stare at her and my family. Then I look at the box and open it. Inside is a necklace with a picture of my family. I burst into tears all over again. I place the necklace back in the box and place it securely in my pocket.
'Thank you guys.' I say still crying.
My family smiles. My father on the other hand moves to the middle of the room and opens the trap door. He then gives me two rings. I look at him confused for the second time.
He smiles, 'For when you find your mate' My father says.
'Now go, all of you!' He orders.
Instantly all the kids, mostly the younger ones run down the trap door in the floor.
'I love you all. I will never forget any of you' I say. Then I run and retrieve the satchel from the fireplace and jump down the trap door. As soon as I hit the ground, the trapdoor shuts and I hear my father and everyone else shift and let out ferocious howls.
Max walks up to me. 'What shall we do now, Alpha?' He asks.
I look at him and then to all the kids around us. There were 17 of us.
'Let's get out of here' I say, pushing my way to the front and leading us out.
As I walk by I hear my father scream in pain, all above me I hear screams of pain. Tears start to stream down my face. My breath starts to come in short gasps.
I wake up drenched in sweat. My hands clenched into fists. I look around, confused at my surroundings. Then instantly calm down as I feel a warm hand touch my bare back.
I turn to see my mate, scared, and worried. I give her a small smile to assure her I'm alright.
I reach for her hand that moved up to my shoulder and kiss it gently.
'I'm alright my love. It was just a nightmare.' I say calmly.
'It was no nightmare though was it? You were screaming 'Amanda' and then you started shaking and...' My mate says tears coming down her eyes.
I look deep into her eyes and smile softly.
'Amanda is my sister. She died along with my entire family' I say softly.
I then notice people in the room. I turn and see Brandon, my mates two brothers and my mate's mother.
'We heard screaming, we feared the worst.' Brandon said.
I smile. ' You mean you feared I would hurt Elizabeth' I say with a dad smile on my face.
Everyone smiles weakly. 'We all thought that at first until we understood what you were saying. But a father can't ever be too protective of his only daughter' Brandon says.
I nod. 'My father was much the same way' I chuckle. 'My brothers and me used to drive away any male that ever tried to make a move on my sister. She would always tell us off afterwards saying she can handle herself. Yet we still continued to do that' I said sadly.
Just then I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look and see its Brandon. 'We are very sorry about what happened to your family' He says.
'It's alright, You weren't the one that ordered their execution, otherwise I would know. I killed them all too' I said.
'Whatever you need, we are here for you. I knew your parents, did you know that?' Brandon asks.
I look at him. 'You did?' I ask.
He nods in reply. 'They were good people. Every time I got into trouble I would end up at your parents house hanging out with your brothers. You were only about 2 years old so you wouldn't remember me' He said.
I nod. 'I loved them all' I said sadly.
'We all did' Brandon says walking out the door.
