His eyebrows furrowed at me, "Why are you wishing me luck? You are also involved here!"
"What did you do to my fighter?" My father's voice thundered off and Rem seemed to accept his fate as he walked to him.
As soon as we were just a few meters from him, Rem suddenly beamed at him, "Hello there, Alpha!”Alpha Leomourd raised his eyebrows at him, “I asked you a question, Rem. What did you do to my daughter?”He was looking at me, “Did you got hurt?” I shook my head, “No, I am fine.”He nodded, “That’s good. Next time, don’t follow him around.”Rem scoffed, “What? Alpha, it was her who wanted this! I just helped her by carrying her on my back so she wouldn’t have to walk all this way! I just toured her around!” He tried to reason out but Alpha Leomouord was still adept.He kept a straight face on until he sighed, “Fine. I have to punish you, bI gulpe at the indeisity of the attetin Iw as getitng. They see clapping, and I could see that they were happy for me. They accepted me, which is strange. My body felt confused with always having to be under ceremonies and switching packs. from being a rogue to having to make an oath with Kai, then now, I don't feel like having my loyalty. The night was prosperous and engaging, everyone seemed to be nice to me. They were welcoming me, making an effort to even greet me, each of them. Food, wine, and meat were everywhere. Father was just at the center of the stage, watching everyone as he was sipping on his glass of wine. The she-wolves even wanted to speak to me but I gave a signal to Rem to take me. He shrugged, leaving me alone and I gulped. “Hello there, Arya, right?” One of the she-wolves asked, and I recognize her as one of their childhood friends of Rem who talked with him earlier at the training field. I nodded, “Yes.” They smiled at me, “You’re too pretty,” They com
But looking at the younger boy, and his familiar name, I realized it. That boy is Alpha Leomourd when he was just a child! Wait, don’t tell me that I was brought back to the past? How the hell am I watching Alpha Leomourd's childhood? A tear shed on his eyes, and the bushes seemed to shake to reveal a little girl…like him, a she-wolf. She had dirt all over her chubby cheeks and her hair was braided into two. I continued watching as she approached the little Alpha Leomourd. Her clothes were torn, but the smile on her face was mocking, “Psh, you’re too weak.” Little Leomourd, who was shedding his tears suddenly stopped sniffing and glared at the newcomer, “Who are you to call me weak?! How dare you” “I’m Lilliana, you can call me Lily.”’ The newcomer introduced, themself and chuckled at him. “What about you?” “I’m Leomourd. They call me Leo 'cause my name’s too long for them.” He answered then frowned, “Lily? What pack are you?” Leomourd asked, and Yve’s bright gray eyes widened,
“We’ll meet at the bank. I promise. Wait for me there, I had Aulus wait for you there.” “Then I’ll wait for you, don’t you dare die on me.” My father just smiled, “I promise.” My mother carried me to the forest and started to run in the opposite direction. He started to mind link his members, preparing to fight and form in defense against the upcoming enemies. They fought claws to claws and canines to canines, yet both seemed to not back down from each other. Both are equal in strength and the leaders faced each other eventually. “Leo, long time no see, my friend.”The familiar face of Dyrroth appeared, along with his left eye having a cloth covering it. A patch. “Why are you here? I had killed you! Why are you destroying my peace?” “oh, I rose to form the dead, bastard. all because of your jealousy. Remember this? I keep this as a souvenir.” He said as he pulled the cloth to reveal an empty eyeball. I almost gagged at the sight. My father stood his ground, not backing down
“Denying it won’t make you lose the gift, Arya, the sooner you accept it, the sooner it will become your strength.” He advised me,” We need to go back to the packhouse now.”I was still processing what his words meant. Still, in a daze, Rem helped me up from the bath, he got a towel for me and even extra clothes on. He turned around to let me have m privacy and change my wet clothes. And when I was done, Rem quietly guided me back. He was exchanging some quick nervous glances with me, but I continued walking dumbfoundedly. I cleared my throat, “What about my gift? Why are you acting as if I’m the most dangerous person here?”I felt a bit happy knowing that I have a gift, something I have an advantage on.Rem put his finger on my lips, his eyes looking left and right to check if someone heard me through the dark and in the middle of the woods. “Be careful there, Arya. We must keep this a secret. Do not tell anyone, including Kai.”I kept quiet, knowing
I sighed, “Why are you here?” It’s not just some coincidence, isn’t it? He must have something hidden behind his sleeves. “Yes, why am I here?” He cleared his throat, “Well, I am here to deliver a message from the higher-ups to your father.”I was suddenly reminded of the last time at the river, my father’s life. I saw him there, my father made a deal with him.. but I have to act like I didn't know so I asked.“What? You already knew that my father is…”He shrugged, “I wasn’t sure, at first, because it has been too long since I last seen him and now it's confirmed...I guess it was finally time for you to meet your true father.”I breathed deeply, partly blaming him, “If you knew it already., then you should have told me sooner…..I thought we were friends?”He pouted, “Awe, I apologize, Arya. I didn't want to ruin the mystery your father wanted.. and it is your life. I do not want to butt in.”He then suddenly blurted out, “Your father is the new elder.”
Suddenly, tears gushed down my face like a waterfall. and while I wet her skin with my tears, my mother just patiently stood there, patting my head as she comforted me.“Ah, my child, you can cry to me.” Those simple words were simple, but they meant so much to me. I suddenly felt how ironic my gift is, and how I am thankful for having it. It made n possible to meet my mother right now.I could talk t her like this as if she’s still alive...but I know it's only her soul now…and this scene would be over soon s I have to grasp the chance while she is still here. I realized how I have been pretending t be strong all these years, trying to remain fierce and unstoppable as possible and caging my emotions. and now I am letting everything out. “did you have a rough time, living my child?”She asked, and tears came out more. I was suddenly reminded of all the hardships I had, and I was sobbing and letting everything fall.“I apologize for not being there.” she suddenly said, and I could
“You…lied to me! You betrayed me! You assured me that everything will be fine! That everything is okay!” I sobbed on the floor, “You said that you can save me here!” I yelled to them in anger, “Yet you killed my baby!”They were silent for a minute, as I bawled my eyes out on the floor, and i was screaming at the top of my lungs, there’s nothing that could compare to the pain i am feeling right now.I had expressiend pain last time. When Mayhem and the man that I thought was my father got killed, I weeped. But now i am grieving.The past made me lose a part of my soul, but now, I felt like my whole soul was taken, ripped and torn into pieces, shredded and stomped all over by a dump truck.I feel like i had nothing left inside me.“We had to do it or else we could lose you, Arya.” Rem’s tone was calm, but I was never calm. I turned to him, “Lose me? You don’t understand the grief I am feeling right now! You of all people encouraged me to keep my pup.”Rem gritted his teeth, “You’d t
ALPHA KAI’S POVThere is no day that I never thought of my dear Arya.But my twin, who had been busy torturing me every day in the cell never got tired.“This is for stealing everything for me!” He hit me with all his might, and it pained me, but I got used to the pain so much that I became numb. I just want to let him express all his anger to me and end it all at once so I can come to Arya.I closed my eyes, enduring his every hit.Suddenly, I could feel a pain in my heart. My chest dropped and I could; ’t breathe.“What? Are you starting to feel hurt now?” Zef asked mockingly, “You bastard! Once I am done with you, I will get Arya no matter what.”I gritted my teeth, seeing only darkness and feeling light-headed. I hadn’t eaten anything and drunk anything since alpha Leomourd caught Arya and took her with him.I need to get to her sooner. I had attempted to go out and even got imari’s side, but Zef was smart enough to catch us.His torture continued ion and lasted for days. Every da
