67 - A new story
“Cheers!” Our rouge pack leader, my father, offered as he raised his glasses. “For more bountiful harvests!”
“For more bountiful harvests,” his members repeated.
Our hunters had found enough food for us for the first time in the year after starving for months.
In a world where we’re hidden, we have to stay concrete and our food is always in shortage. Ever since the Alpha banished us from his pack, we fend off for ourselves, troubling no one and trusting only ourselves from now on.
I smiled at my father beside me, “I hope our whole year will be blessed like this.” I said, not wanting us to starve anymore. I don’t want to witness children asking for food, pregnant women losing their children, and men running in madness just because we lacked the resources.
I felt my father ruffling my hair, “It will be like this. Mark my words, Arya.”
I chuckled, taking a sip on the glass of wine. I felt like crying from the sweet taste of it.
But then, my father’s aid came back with a panicked voice, “They found us!”
And hands came to remove his head.
I watched in horror as we shrieked, all the men surrounded the women and children, and I looked at everyone to make sure they are fine.
“What’s happening?” I asked my dad, even though I already knew the answer.
He flashed me a sad smile but stand still, “Protect everyone in my stead. You know where I held the key.”
I blinked, knowing what he’s meaning. “No, dad, I’m not going to let them attack us.”
“Just evacuate the weak. Let me handle this!”
I did as he told and ushered the women and children to our safe place, “This way!”
“Are we going to die?” Asked Lily, our adorable playmate.
“NO, my dad is there to protect us, now hide until we win okay?”
Once I made sure they are safe, I went back to help my father but he just glared at me.
“Why did you return? No one will proetct the chidlren!”
“I’ll help here.” I took down one enemy. Judging from the smell, I knew it. The alpha twins are here to spread mischief again.
“Surrenerder now, rougue leadr.” Said one of the twins. and the other laughed.
“You can hand over your daughter. She's beautiful enough.”
I gritted my teeth and send an arrow to them.
“NO, you surrender!”
They both laughed, “She’s fierce. I like that.”
My dad pushed me back, “Leave here”
I continued fighting until I felt my dad shielding me and blood came.
He's dead.
“No!”
My father is the rogue leader. A respectable man. He had a clear vision and hated the hierarchies. How Alphas have the power. I have to get back to them.
“I can’t forgive you for killing my father! You two have to pay!”
Just then, the blood moon came. there was electricity. no way they are my mate.
“You’ll be coming with us.”
