Coco POV: 2 hours later we are now in Orlando, Florida(The Mall at Millenia) to shop for some last minute things and clothes for the girls and me also. The girls are at the playpen while me and Kiara do the shopping.

"I-im sorry. "

Kiara in turn gave me a confused expression.

"Hm? What for? "

"For being rude earlier. About Amera and stuff. "

Kiara waved me off and chuckled.

"Girl, you don't need to apologize for that. I'd blow a fuse too. Little kids stay wondering and I have 2 so I definitely know your pain. "

I blushed a bit.
"Also thank you for taking us in. "

Kiara shrugged as she picked a few new pair of underwear for the girls.

"I know how it feels. I just hate to see someone going through something similar of what I went through... The feeling of helplessness. I know it too well. "

I nodded. "Yeah.. It's painful. "

After a few minutes of awkward silence- mainly on my part. I asked her a question that's been bugging me.

"Soo I know last time you said you've been through lots of stuff. What do you mean by that?"

Chocolate face palmed(pawed?)."Right. Just go straight forward and ask".

Well what the hell else was I supposed to do?!

"Idk! "

"Well..." she started off.

"I had 2 married and loving parents. Along with 2 older brothers, Jordan the eldest and Trey the second eldest. Both 21 and 18. We had a great relationship but it took a sour turn after my 11th birthday. Our parents died at the beach.The water was just too much. My brothers hated me ever since. Anyways we lived with our Aunt, her husband, and daughter because our grandparents passed away from depression a few months later. We were abused a lot- mainly me. An incident with my mates kina just snapped the last straw. So I grabbed the girls and we left."

Kiara finishes it off with a slight indifference in her tone. By the time she's done we were at Forever 21.

"Wow."

"I know, and by the smell of it she's not much of a shifter either. That must've been hard for her. "

I was grateful she allowed us to start looking for outfits for Amera first.

"Well my story is a bit similar. Me and Amera are from the BlueMoon Pack. "

"THE BLUE MOON PACK?! The one the Ancient Council Clan exterminated nearly 8 years ago?!"

I gave her a sarcastic smile.

"Right go ahead and tell the whole store. I'm pretty sure they like to know how I shit too, would you mind telling them?"

I pointed across the room to a few women who gazed at us stranglely. The BlueMoon Pack hasn't been mentioned in almost a decade yet she blurring the name randomly.

Kiara smiles sheepishly."My bad continue?"

I chuckled a bit.

"It's been a while, but I still remember the clan as if it was still here. It was joyous, funny, and loving. Everyone saw each other as family and treated each other as so. Out of all the packs- the Blue Moon Pack was the pack that was known for its harmony. Such like the blue moon itself. We were very well known for being a powerful pack, but also were kindness and compassion. "

I felt one of my hands form into a fist. "Probably that was the reason we were exterminated. My mother used to tell me a lot how she and my father met and it always stuck with me. My father was the Alpha heir of the BlueMoon Pack but he didn't meet his mate yet and was already 25 years old. It was mandatory for the Alphas of the BlueMoon Pack to at least have their mate- true or chosen before the age of 30 or their inheritance would be passed down to the other sibling or closest blood family member. My father loved his pack but between his pack and his true mate- he loved his true mate more. Even if he hadn't met her yet. My grandfather instead engaged him with one of the daughters of the Ancient Council Members."

"Oh I think I heard about that!" Kiara stated as she cut me off and placed a few shirts in the trolley and snapped her fingers. "Her name was... Sara Brian right? Was it Sara or Sabrina? I know that bitch last name was a Bruno! "

"Girl it's Sia Brown! "

"Tch. Ain't my fault her parents ain't named her right. I know what tf I said. "

I rolled my eyes and continued.

"Her name is Sia Brown. Pale skin, green eyes, and blood red hair. She was a vampire but very much in love with my father. She met him when he was a around 22 and she 19. She was also told to be cruel. It was said she'd stalk him everywhere he went and would kill any female she saw him with if it wasn't family.The more my dad put off the engagement with her the more crazy she'd get."

"So my grandfather said that if he couldn't find his true mate within 3 years he would have to marry her. Mom would say dad will tell her how anxious he was to find her. For 2 years he couldn't find mom, until he met her at one of the mating balls. When he found her he was said to have fallen deep in love already. My mother was a very gorgeous and refined woman. She was the daughter of the Alpha family from the Aquamarine Pack. The pack was the 3rd biggest pack in the world and my father's was the 2nd. He couldn't meet my mother before because she was always sheltered as the little angel of the pack and her family, everyone adored her because she was the youngest. After meeting her my father told her the truth almost immediately. My mother said she was surprised but wasn't upset. She would go one to tell me that she was touched that he never stopped looking for her. Later they both got married and both packs had an alliance union. Sis was then said to have gone off the rails but because of the agreement- she couldn't do nothing."

"Long story short a year later, me and my older twin brother Ross was born. And trust me we were 2 peas in a pod. Did everything together. Sia was said to have lost her mind and went on a killing spree. Amera was born when me and Ross turned 8 ever since we hadn't heard much from Sia in a while. Around the time Amera was 4, people in the pack started randomly missing and turning up dead. From elders to men women and children dead bodies would appear 3 days after their disappearance. The numbers were dwindling fast. From 12,000 to around 3,000 people left in the span of 5 months."

I paused and took a shake breath.

"Hey, you don't have to continue if you don't want to. " Kiara's concerned voice flowed through my ears.

"I know... but I don't have anyone else to talk to. "

"Mom what's that noise outside?"

Coco's mother, Keydaya, heard the noise outside and became concerned.

"I don't know Coco. Something this big should've alerted your father and brother right now. I'll go check."

Keydaya peeked out the window and saw rows and rows of armed council soldiers on the pack's borders. For some reason, she had a bad anonymous feeling.

"The BlueMoon Pack are here by sentence to death for for mass murder of other and their own pack members!"

Soon she saw the nearest pack members , which were three children being slain with their heads bashed in.

"AHHHHH!!"

Their mothers immediately started crying with tears pouring down their eyes and they too, suffered the similar fate as their children with their heads blown apart.

The pack soon flew into chaos as the council started attacking. Horror flashed in Keydaya's eyes.

Amera tilted her head confusedly at her mother. "Mommy?"

Just then one of the dark hooded council members looked up at her window and smiled at her. Causing chills to flow down her back..

She backed away from the window terrified. "Come on girls! Move Right now!"

She hurriedly grabbed her daughters and opened a hidden department behind her dresser door and closed it behind her.

Coco confused held Amera closer towards her chest. "Mommy?"

Keydaya quickly hushed her."Don't say anything and out the back!"

Coco wanted to listen to her mother, but something inside her compelled her to stay. Little did she know that'll be one of the most haunting decisions she's ever made.

Keydaya quickly straightened out the room and jumped when she heard the aggressive knock on the door.

Knock! Knock!

"Open the door Luna Keydaya. It's Sia."

Keydaya bit her lip before gently opening the door. Bursting in the room was Sia with eyes steaming with jealousy and hatred.

"So this is the room you and my beloved share?"

"He's my mate and husband!" Keydaya snapped at her angrily.

Sia hissed. "It was supposed to be me!"

Keydaya bared her fangs at her. "If it took so long for him to even consider you then I beg to fucking differ!"

"SHUT UP!"

Keydaya stumbled after she was hit with a strong slap to the face.

"Keydaya lunged at her with anger. "Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!"

Keydaya managed to land a deep scarry wound on half of Sia's face. Much to her pain and displeasure.

Sia in turn kicked her in her stomach and stepped on her harshly. Making the mother cough out blood in pain. Normally she'd be as strong but after giving birth to Amera her body became much weaker.

"So this is the famous strength of the daughter from the Aquamarine Pack? It doesn't seem much." Sia commented as she noticed the continuously light blue eyes that were burning with hatred.

Keydaya grabbed Sia's foot and crushed in her hands making the vampire hiss in pain and stumble pack.

"Don't insult my bloodline!"

Keydaya then grabbed a nearby pair of scissors and stabbed them in her shoulder only for Sia to flung her across the room making her crash into the dresser. Her head then started bleeding professively and her vision blurred from knocking headfirst into the dresser. There, half of it broke letting Coco and Amera see through the damaged dresser into the next haunting scene.

"DON'T THINK YOU CAN MOCK ME!"

Sia picked her up by her throat and squeezed it with much Force. Keydaya squirmed and fought in her hands even clawing them leaving bloody scars. Eventually after a few minutes of struggle the Luna's brown eyes dimmed as she stopped moving.

"Your head will be nice to show your husband."

Sia then proceeded to rip off Keydaya's bruised head and held it in her arm.

"Hm? You aren't aren't hard headed after being dead aren't ya?" She chuckled to herself.

"A...a..." Amera struggled to breath as she watched the hurriedly scene of Sia playing with her mother's head. It was disgusting and revolting to watch.

"Sshh p-please c-calm down Amera." Coco said terrified at the scene herself. She felt her whole body shake in terror and didn't know how long it'll be before she'd pass out from the scene.

But finally the little 4 year old sister couldn't take the scene any more and fully burst into a sea of tears.

"MOMMY!!"

Sia's head swiftly shifted toward the dresser. There she can see four little eyes belonging to children.

"You are her children?"

Coco sweared when her eyes came into contact with Sia's... all that filled her body was fear. Blood rushing, heart bounding, survival type of fear. That if she didn't move now, one step to late and she'll be dead.

Coco without knowing what type of strength she had picked Amera in her arms and quickly ran through the underground tunnel.

She heard the hissing laughter of Sia.

"I'll find youuu!!"

When she made it outside all she can smell was the stench of death stretching across the air. Dead bodies piled on top of each other and in those piles she recognized her aunts, uncles, cousin, and grandparents.

Tears filled her eyes as her body shaped.

What to do?! what to do?!

Seeing nearby council members she hid behind a nearby bunch of bushes as she saw her father and younger brother's body being dragged out.

"DA-

"Shhh!"

Coco quickly covered her younger sister's mouth just as one of the nearby council members swiftly turned their heads to look around.

Anxiety rushed through her veins as she saw her older brother and father staring at them through the bushes with a smile.

Sia entered the grounds dragging with her a bloody bag. "It's been a while sweetheart... did you miss me?"

Coco's father ignored her and spat at her shoes to which she kicked him in the face and smiled.

"I killed your little Luna and I can say... she did put up much of a fight."

She threw my mother's head out of the bag and rolling onto the ground in front of both father and son.

"You see, me being a vampire I thought your mate would do much better but sadly she barely made me flinch."

The young boy had tears falling down his eyes as while he laughed. "But she did end up scarring your face!"

Sia punched him in his teeth. "Shut up boy! I wasn't talking to you!"

"I killed your daughters too. But your son seems to want to follow his sisters' lead." She shook her head sadly. "You should've raised him better sweetheart.

Coco's father smiled. "If you are going to lie... make sure you do it better."

She gritted her teeth angrily and walked towards Coco's older brother.

"Fine I may admit I didn't kill your other 2 spawns and they will be dead when i find them... but that doesn't mean I won't kill this one."

My brother secretly gazed in my direction then turned his head away.

"My little sisters may look small but I'm very proud of them and one day they will grow. And destroy your fucked up council and Coco will make you die so slowly that your blood will flow like honey."

She looked at him and laughed wildly. "You think two puny little girls will suprass me and all I've created?!" She then stopped laughing and pulled him up by his hair. "For a child who is about to die you have a bad mouth..." She then tapped on his lips forcefully. " I'll shut them up for you."

The next horrible scene the two girls witnessed were the horrifying screams of pain and saddening cries from both son and father. As Sia pulled the front of his tongue, twisted his right arm, stepped on his legs making them shatter, and then painfully forcing her hands through his back and crushing half of his spinalcord. Amera was sobbing harsh in Coco's hands while Coco tried hard to breathe and think while looking at the horrible scene.

She dropped his twitching body and sighed as she turned to Coco's father and stared at him lovingly. "I killed sk many people for you. Wife, son, family, in-laws... they were separating us for too long. I know it must've must've painful for you to stay in a family like that." She then bends down in front of him with a smile. "But we can be together now. A start over. Me, you, your daughters, I'm pretty sure they aren't far can be a family. They'll never have to know about this. We can make our own kids too. What do you say?" She gently carressed his cheek as she spoke softly to him.

She then shrieked in pain as he bit her hand with half of her fingers in his mouth. Hatred swirled his eyes as she spit her fingers out in her face and her hand bleed professively.

"I'd never be with your crazy ass even I you were the last person on this damned planet!" He growled at her angrily as his wolf showed through his eyes. "This isn't over. Both of my daughters are still breathing which means they'll revive both of the packs and will kill and suprass you! Just like my son said!" He struggled to talk at the lost of his son.

"H-He's right! They both will do it!"

Jealousy. Mountains of jealousy spilled through Sia's eyes as she lunged at the father.

"DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! ILL KILL YOUR DAUGHTERS AND SHOW YOU WHO'LL SUPRASS WHO!"

By the time she was done my father looked like he was on his last breath, with half of his body and blood across the grass.

He smiled in another direction but he mindlinked me as he closed his eyes.

Go.

Sia seemed not in her right mind when she yelled at the council. "ALL OF YOU FIND THOSE KIDS! ALIVE!

They took off in another direction. After a few moments Coco ran to her father and started sobbing along with Amera.

"Welp, so much for a father and son trip."

Seeing his daughters still crying he sighed and shakily pulled out two aquatic colored necklaces.

"You girls will do so many great things, I'm proud of you, so is the family, your mother, and your brother. But if you can't take revenge don't worry about it. You both are our family's last descendants. So don't spend the rest of your life vengeful, go be happy and live freely, that's our main wish."

He then closed his eyes breathing his last. Coco couldn't breath. It was too painful. She shakily crawled to her brother's body and looked at him.

He was still twitching a little and he looked like he wanted to say something. Coco gently placed his finger on the dirt and helped him trace the words he wanted to say. As he did so, she could tell it was taking a toll on him. Each time he wrote a letter he would stop and if Coco didn't have her werewolf senses she'd think he was dead.

When he was done he closed his eyes smiling satisfied. Coco looked at the words and felt her spirit shatter.

I LOVE YOU BE HAPPY WE WILL ALWAYS CHEER FOR YOU

Coco felt another wave of tears as she took Amera and ran deep into the woods... and didn't look back.
