(Ten year ago)
AIDEN
I remember that day like it was yesterday, the day my parents were brutally murdered with me listening to everything while hiding in a compartment on the floor. I remember sitting in there keeping very quiet like my mother told me to. I sat there for the longest time waiting for the silence. Their blood had gone from the dining room table and gathered on top of the carpet right on top of the compartment door.
It dripped right into my head, and I couldn’t move away as space was limited. I closed my eyes and let it drip on me. Mother told me to be still and not make any kind of noise and that was what I was doing. I had cried and by the time they were murdered, my tears had dried up. I remember I was covered in their blood by the time I got out from there.
But the blood was the last thing I cared about when I saw their bodies. Mother’s body laid on the table, I couldn’t even reco
TINAI went to the alpha’s office wanting to ask Zion if I could join his warriors and train with them. Father never wanted me to train, he told me that he would protect me and my mother and that nothing would ever happen to me. He said when I felt the pack with my mate, he was the one who was going to protect me.But it didn’t seem that way. But when I got to Zion’s office he was talking to Aiden and asking him about what actually happened the night his parents died. I wanted to turn around and leave but curiosity got the better of me. I stood by the door listening in and I couldn’t believe what I heard. I couldn’t stop crying. I remembered that day, I asked my father not to go.Ten years ago“Father, please don’t go! Not today, please!” í begged my father who was about to go on a raid with his warriors to blow off steam. As usual. Tears streamed down my face looking at him with pitiful eyes. At that age, I didn’t know what blowing off steam meant for my father. The great Alpha Harol
TINAThe resentment I felt for my father I was sure was nothing close to what Aiden was feeling. The man ruined me, and I asked him not to. Somehow, I knew that day was going to change my life forever and yet he didn’t listen. He went to that damn raid killing innocent people and costing me my mate’s love and affection.Slowly I stood from that hallway and walked back to my room. When I got there, I took out my phone from my bag and sad down on the bed then dialled my mother’s number. She answered almost immediately. “Tina, sweety, how are you doing, is he treating you well. I didn’t like how that young man spoke to me when he was here.”Mother went on about Aiden’s disrespect while I sniffed and cried on the other end. “Tina, baby, why are you not saying anything, is everything alright?” she asked now sounding worried. “Harold! Harold, come here. It’s Tina, I think something is wrong. I told you we should have never let her go with that boy.” My mother continued.She put me on speak
ALPHA HAROLD“Harold, where are you going?” I ignored my mate; how could she even ask that question when our ungrateful daughter just called only to tell me that I was dead to her. For what? For going on a raid and leaving her behind when she was eight? What nonsense was that?“Harold?” she was also giving me a headache busy screaming at me for no reason. “What is it?” I snapped and I saw pain in her eyes. I didn’t have time to deal with her as well. I had Tina to deal with. “I am going to see our daughter.” She sighed. “No good will come out of you going there now. You are both angry and will say things you will both regret.”I chuckled, what was there for me to regret? I did everything for that child, and she leaves home for one day and call to tell me that nonsense? No! “She started this whole thing, what should I have done? She was eight years old! I wasn’t about to take her on a raid. Tell me, is that cause to say what she said to me?”“Something must have happened; do you rememb
TINAI was laying in bed with a terrible headache. I cried a lot after Jake left. I could not get over what my father did, I didn’t blame Aiden for hating me. On top of what my father did, I stood in front of him and defended the man. Who does that?A knock came to my door, and I wondered who it was. I invited the person in any way. An omega walked in with a tray of food for me. “Thank you, but I am not hungry.” She only nodded and walked out with the food. I was left wondering who cared enough to ask them to send food for me.While I was laying there, I head rushing footstep passing by my room. I got curious and got out to see. I only saw Aiden turning and going down the stairs, I went back into the room and wore my gown and sleepers. Then followed to see what was going on. He might not want me, but he was still my mate and I wanted him to be safe.I got out there at the moment when my father asked who invited him there. No one did, but I knew he came because of what I said to him ov
AIDENI didn’t know what changed her mind about her father but the way she was behaving told me she knew something. But it didn’t matter, her turning against her father meant nothing to me. Destroying their relationship was never part of my plan but it was good too. It worked for me. The man was finally starting to pay for what he did.I was curious to hear what his answer would be when his daughter asked him where he got the necklace from. But the man would not give a straight answer and that just pissed me off. I wanted him to admit what he did. “What did you say?” he asked advancing towards his daughter once again.I folded my arms and watched. “You heard me, did you get this necklace off a dead woman’s body after you killed her?” she glared at him. “Yes, I did. So, what of it!” I fumed in anger when he said it like that. It showed he didn’t care at all, and he felt no remorse for what he did.She shook her head as if she could not believe what she was hearing. Tears streaming like
HAROLDI looked back at Aiden and that was when I saw the resemblance. He was Tom’s son, but how did he survive, where was he and how did we miss him? I looked back at my daughter; she looked hurt and disappointed in me. Not only that, but she also had hatred in her eyes, for me. I glanced at Aiden, all those sly remarks he kept making, back at my pack.He wasn’t being brave and standing up to me. He was angry at the man who killed his father and angry that the Moon Goddess mated him to my daughter. He must have told her what I did to his father and who that necklace belonged to.Which meant that he was there that night, but where? We searched the place and there was no one. “I am sure you are wondering how I survived, right?” That was when I recognised the look on his face for what it was, hatred and anger. I ignored him, there was only one person who mattered and that was my daughter.So, I turned to her, the look she gave me, hurt. I could not bear her looking at me that way. “Tina
TINAI thought we were going to argue, and my father would go home to my mother, and I would spend many years hating him for what he did. I didn’t know there was going to be a battle and I didn’t know it was going to end with him dying.I watched in horror as my father’s most trusted warriors attacked when they saw their alpha on the ground. When the whole thing started it looked like they had the upper hand until Jake showed up out of nowhere with so many warriors and they pounced on my father’s warriors.They took them down quickly killing them and ripping them to shreds. I had never seen so much blood before in my life and I had never seen a battle. It was gruesome and I feared for my life. I had so much fear that it rendered me paralyzed as I stood there watching.When the Blood Moon warriors were done with my father’s warriors they stood there watching as Aiden tore my father apart. “Should we stop him?” Jake asked his alpha Zion and I hoped he would say yes for my sake, but he s
AIDENI almost missed my chance of killing Harold because of my damn wolf. When our mate yelled for us to stop, Midnight froze and wouldn’t go through with killing him in front of our mate. He didn’t want our mate hating us and he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her. He felt her pain making me feel it too. But I wasn’t about to pass on a chance to rid our kind of a monster like Harold.So, while he was distracted and being all soft, I took back control and shifted into my human form. I looked at that woman, I wanted her to see what I was going to do to her father. I wanted her to feel what I felt when I saw my parents slaughtered like that by her father. I wanted her to not only understand my pain but to feel it too the same way I did ten years ago.I saw hope in her eyes, and I knew it was time. I extracted my claws and before Midnight new it, I had his throat in my hand. “You fool!” Midnight screamed at me and
