Chapter 2 Attacked

Sophia's POV

"That prick!" Dad was about to get out of the car, but I stopped him.

"Dad, please, let's just go home for now," I pleaded. He glanced at me, debating what to do, and then he defeatedly sighed.

"Only you and your mother can make me do things against my will, sweetie." He softly laughed, and mom giggled, but soon her emotions quickly changed with just one switch.

"Of course! Who else would dare!?" Mom angrily huffed and glared at dad.

"No one else, my Luna." Dad softly chuckled and tenderly looked at my mom and held her palm with his free hand while the other was holding the steering wheel.

"Hey dad! You forgot when we bought fast food! That was against your will!" Jayden childishly protested.

"That doesn't count, Jayden; stop embarrassing yourself with that face of mine!" Aidan sighed and tried to reach out to Jayden to smack him off, but to no avail.

"I can't help it, bro, we're twins!" Jayden smirked.

"Then please, in Goddess's name, at least stop telling people you're me!" Aidan facepalmed, as he was really pissed off.

"Where's the fun in that?" Jayden laughed. Our parents just shook their heads and watched them bicker for minutes until their mouths grew tired.

My two brothers are by my side, with me in the middle. That is why I am smushed with their bickering and petty fights almost all the time. This has been our seating place wherever we go. Since all of them, especially my two older twin brothers, are annoyingly overprotective of me despite their bickering. They both surprisingly agree and understand one another when it comes to our family...with me.

I watched from the window as the scenery changed from Woodhill University to the familiar sight of our pack's forest.

My dad is the Alpha of our pack, and these two idiots are both the successors in the future once they find their mate and when they are all ready to inherit the pack. As they are twins, they both have the same mate, and I can't wait to meet her so that their attention and all of their clinginess will finally fall on her.

Oh Goddess, I pity her now, even though we haven't met her yet. These two will surely be more protective of her than me because of the mate bond. I let out small evil laughs, and they all looked at me; even Dad took a peek.

"Mom, Sophie's being so scary," Jayden blurted out while slowly backing away from me as if being truly scared. I frowned and told mom.

"Jayden, stop teasing your little sister, or else I will really show you what scary is," Mom warned Jayden and threw her compressed powder at him.

"Yeah, right, mom, and you are the one who always teases Sophie," Aidan remarked, and we all laughed because Aidan makes jokes with his serious face, and it is always hilarious, especially sometimes when he really means it and not as a joke.

That innocent and stern expression of his never fails to make our day, which is why Jayden always teases and makes fun of his own twin brother. I felt relieved now that we were coming back to our pack as we all continued to laugh at Jayden's and Aidan's bickering, but not too long after, someone threw sharp objects at the tires, and we crashed into a big tree, totally destroying our ride.

We were caught off guard when someone tried to pull mom's hair. Dad immediately growled, and with no second to waste, he released his Alpha pheromones, which made the intruder instantly back out. Maybe it was just a lowly wolf since a simple pheromone made him back away at once.

At the same time, while dad was busy protecting mom, someone tried to pry open the roof of our car and was successful. It opened instantly and grabbed me by the hair, but Jayden and Aidan shifted to protect me. Jayden viciously bit the other intruder's hand that grabbed my hair, and Aidan ran outside to capture the one who grabbed mom's hair since he was nearer than dad, but that was after he held me down to prevent the intruder from pulling me up.

All of it happened so fast; it's like a reflex. Jayden was able to rip off the arm of the one who attacked me, but it escaped. While Aidan triumphantly caught the one who pulled mom's hair and rendered him unconscious.

Oh, Goddess, this will be good. I was super ecstatic and can't wait to see what will unravel. I jumped out of the car and sat on the ripped-off roof, wiggling my legs.

Dad was truly infuriated as it attacked his precious Luna and released such strong pheromones that the intruder almost ran out of breath. Mom instantly released her pheromones from the car to calm Dad down.

"Daniel, for goodness sake, we need him alive. Calm your wits down! The kids can't breathe!" Mom growled and surrounded us with her sweet and loving pheromones as dad truly was making us suffocate. He seemed to snap out of his anger and immediately ran to mom just to feel and caress her cheeks.

"Are you okay?" He managed those words to escape from his lips under pressure as he was still catching his breath out of fear for mom's safety. Mom genuinely nodded and kissed Dad.

Geez, anyone else remember that I was just rejected hours ago? I cannot stand their public display of affection!

"Dad, I'm not! Look what it did to my hair!" I childishly ranted out like some spoiled 7-year-old. I jumped down from the roof and grimaced at their gross kissing scene.

Mom laughed, and dad scoffed and patted my head. The moment he pulled his hand back, all three of the men panicked. Mom instantly got out of the car and held my face.

There was lots of blood, and it didn't hurt until now that I saw some of it drip from dad's hand.

"Baby, are you okay?" Mom's voice was slowly fading away as my vision got blurry with each split second that passed.

'Sophia.' Lia's voice felt like it was slowly melting away, but I can grasp that she is reaching out to me, telling me to grab hold of her.

With no delay, I tried to seize her paws, and she purred as I calmed her down within my head. I heard my dad violently cursed and lifted me up. I think I saw Aidan breaking the limbs of the prey he caught just enough that it didn't die. I felt Jayden pick something from the car, but I didn't have much energy to be able to sense what it was, and I couldn't move my lips to ask. My eyes were getting heavy, and I then slowly drifted myself into slumber.

----

After what seemed like years of sleeping, I found myself in a familiar place.

In my room at the packhouse.. I felt someone waking up beside me, and when I turned my head to see who it was, it was Aidan.

"Sophie! Are you okay?! Goddess, we are fucking worried sick about you! You were suddenly unconscious!" he exclaimed, and not too long after that, I sensed big strides of someone. The door pried open, and it popped out a disheveled Jayden.

"Sophia!" He jumped on me and hugged me tight.

"Jayden, I can't.. Breathe.." I tapped him, and suddenly he was at the door again because Aidan pulled him away from me with force.

"Hey, stupid, you are killing our sister!" Aidan snapped, and I just noticed that both of their eyes were puffy and red.

"That's overdramatic; I just felt sleepy, that's all." I giggled and teased them if they were crying; they looked away, of course, and shamelessly denied it.

I asked where mom and dad were, and they said that both of them were interrogating the intruder. Then, they said that the wolf was a rogue one from the neighboring city, in which we are currently walking on eggshells, or else a full-out war may break out. A war that all of the pack from our city is trying hard to prevent.

I wondered why on earth they attacked us, but that thought soon vanished right away when I was caught in surprise by mom and dad licking me.

They are in their wolf forms, full of blood, and they really stink for real. I tried to push their heads away but was hopeless, and with no other choice, I just let them lick and cuddle me to their hearts' content. Lia was extremely happy with it.

When they finally settled down, I frowned at them, with hands on my waist. I was standing up, full and drenched in their saliva. Jayden and Aidan were running out of breath, laughing.

"So, happy now?" I sighed, and they just pranced around me, smelling and ensuring if I was fine. I cuddled both of them after I wolfed out for a moment and shrugged all their saliva off of me.

We then shifted back, butt naked, because we were the only ones in my room, and we were quite used to it. Actually, being naked is not a big deal at all, as it is our nature as wolves. But of course, both of them immediately covered each other up.

I chuckled as I was reminded that Alphas and Lunas are really protective of each other and their pups. I suddenly felt Lia being so restless, and she won't tell me why, but when a tall, dark, and well-built man appeared in front of me like magic, covering my naked body with his from my parents and brothers, I was stunned and froze in place.

His sweet and inebriating scent filled my nose, and I clenched my fist to stop myself from pouncing on him. With a deep breath, I yelled.

"What the fuck are you doing here, Carter?"
