A Few Moons Ago

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, putting her hand on her mouth as if to prevent herself from telling something that she was not supposed to tell.

“What? Can’t talk now?” Leomourd scoffed, looked at her up and down, and scrunched his face disgusitngly, “Psh, clearly you are not from here…. How did you even enter my father’s pack?”

The girl named Yve raised her eyebrows, “Your father? Oh, are you the alpha’s son?”

“Yeah, why? You need something from my father?” Snapped Leomourd back.

She shook her head, “Tsk, your father is bad, he kills our members!” Her tone was angry.

“Oh, you’re part of the enemies?” The boy asked but Yve shook her head, “No, I’m a good girl.”

“They bully you because you’re weak? Why don’t you fight back?”

I couldn’t help but look at the little girl carefully. If her name’s Lilliana, then she must be…my mother?

A tear shed in my eyes, staring at the little girl in front of me, trying to cheer up my father with her sharp tongue feels saddening.

I could feel my heart being clenched into a fist as if someone was gripping it tightly, and it was too suffocating to watch, I reached out, wanting to touch the girl but then she turned to me, staring directly into my eyes as if she felt my touch.

“What’s wrong? What are you looking at?” Asked Leomourd to Lily.

Lilliana’s eyes shifted to him, shaking her head, “You’re a bit cute, want to be my friend?”

Leomourd was raising his eyebrows, “No, you’re rude and dirty, I don’t like you.”

Lilly scoffed, sticking her tongue out at him and running back to the bushes where she came from.

Suddenly, the scene shifted, and I felt like I was pulled into another dimension. When I opened my eyes, I was standing at a ceremony. Everyone was all dressed up, and waiting for someone while a grown handsome man was standing in front. He had the biggest smile on his face as everyone congratulated him. Just then, everyone parted as a woman came into view. She was dressed beautifully, grinning from ear to ear.

“Yve.” The man mumbled.

“Dyrroth.” The woman called back, and I could see that from afar, there was a familiar handsome face staring at the scene with much sadness. His long hair seemed to hide his expression, but I could feel his sadness from a distance.

I went to him, wanting to see what he thinks about all of this.

“My Yve…” I could hear the pain in his voice as he gripped the rose he was holding on.

“Dyrroth, the Alpha of Midnight's pack, you need to make your oath to your Luna, Yve.”

I gasped, watching how it was Dyrroth, Kai, Zef, and Rem’s father, together with their mother. They did end up, what else would I expect?

The closer I look, the more I could see the triplet’s resemblance…except Zef got his mother’s sweet expression, Kai got his father’s stoic expression, and as for Rem, he seems to be a combination of them.

I stood beside the man as we watch the whole ceremony, and I could see it was too painful for him to watch.

Yet he stayed.

“Leo! You came!” Dyrroth yelled at my father.

My father seemed to be pulled into a trance as he forced a smile on his face, “Of course, it’s my friend’s ceremony.”

Yve was smiling at Leo, “I hope you’ll find your mate soon,”

“Yes, he’s a late bloomer. Everyone else has their mates in our batch, and he’s the only one left.” Added Dyrroth. I wanted to hit him instanlty as he said that, wanting to defend my father, yet my father stayed calm.

“Yes, I am praying to the moon goddess it would be soon.” He said.

The scene changed again, and I felt like puking as I could smell blood all over the place.

When I fluttered my eyes open, there was pungent blood all over the place, along with my father wearing only his shorts and having blood all over his body.

He seemed to just shift into his werewolf as he grabbed a woman, “No! Leo, pls, don’t do this.” She was screaming, crying, and begging for help but my father seemed to be possessed by another spirit. his eyes were red all over.

“You’re mine, Yve, I am your mate, yet why are you choosing him over me?”

“It can’t be, that must be a mistake!” She yelled, “I am carrying our child, pls, do not kill him, just take me instead!”

I looked at the dead bodies around, my father…killed them all just to be with Yve?

My father was laughing hysterically now, “If I can’t have you, then no one will.”

The scenery changed again, and my father seemed to be carrying a child in his arms, as a woman was sitting beside him.

“What should we name her, Leo?” Asked the woman.

“How about Arya? I like that name.” My father said, “Feels like a delicate and innocent flower.”

The pup that they were carrying was laughing, hearing that. I bit my lip, looking at the baby. She looks adorable, and I can't believe that this baby is….me…

The woman nodded, “Seems she likes it too, Arya it is then.”

Just then, there were loud footsteps behind us, and my father instantly stood up and prepared to shift.

“They are coming.”

My mother, Lily, was frightened as she backed away, “What’s that?”

“It’s Dyrroth. And his army…”

“Go, take care of Arya.” He then smiled at the woman, leaning in as he kissed her lips. “I love you, Lily.”

The woman draws a breath, “I love you, Leo, no, don’t say that like it's the last time we see each other.”

“We’ll meet at the bank. I promise. Wait for me there, I had Aulus wait for you there.” My father said, convincing my mother, well, almost like convincing himself. He seemed to know something, but he still believes that he would return.

My mother bit her lip, heaving a sigh, “Then I’ll wait for you, don’t you dare die on me.”

My father just smiled, “I promise.”
