The Alpha's Warprize: Hearts at war

Today was meant to be a beautiful night that would hold a wave of new memories for me. It was a full moon tonight which meant the wolves were at their strongest. It was a night that we always looked forward to, that I had looked forward to since it was my first time joining the pack hunt as an adult. You could only take part in it when you turned 18 which I did five years ago but I didn't get my wolf then so I couldn't take part.

It was embarrassing and I had almost gotten depressed from it because it was a shame for the alpha's only daughter not to get her wolf but I finally did three days ago on my 23rd birthday.

My parents were surprised when I suddenly got my wolf but the pack seer said it was a rare occurrence but not uncommon. My parents and brothers were too excited because I finally got my wolf after being worried for so long so they didn't dwell on it.

During the hunt, The adults would run as a pack for hours, relishing in their heightened adrenaline and senses which we got from the full moon. The hunts were more thrilling and everything was more exciting but today was different. It would remain etched in my memory as the worse night of my life.

The air wasn't filled with excitement. It wasn't filled with happiness either. There was no peace or calm. Everything was the total opposite. There was Chaos, tension, and fear. The air was thick with terror and you didn't need to smell the air to see what was the cause of this terror. It seemed like the moon had turned to blood. The full moon didn't bring excitement this time, it brought doom.

Dead bodies littered the floor all over the pack land and they seem to make a never ending path. Dead wolves, human bodies, half-turned wolves, men, women, children, they were all dead, some even torn apart, missing limbs that were nowhere in sight.

The ground was in such a disgusting state that bile had made a permanent home in my throat. The ground was like a small stream but the stream wasn't made of water but blood. It flowed calmly down an invisible path, some making small puddles and the blood glistened under the moonlight.

We had been getting ready to go for our hunting when we heard a scream that was too chilling to ignore from the pack house but before the warriors could even check it out, we were cornered. We weren't even given time to panic or even make sense of what was happening before the dead bodies of my pack members lay on the ground within seconds.

The ones who were lucky enough to flee the forest couldn't even make it to the pack house underground safe house and even the ones who made it there came face to face with our attackers and were mercilessly slain as well. The safe house wasn't safe after all.

I had made it to the pack house and was moving as quietly as possible with my back glued to the wall of the dark corridor and was trying my best to make sure I avoided the windows. I couldn't even comprehend how I had managed to stay alive till this very moment.

My heart was racing. It was beating so hard and loud against my chest and I feared the attackers would hear it and be able to locate me. I tried to swallow the bile in my throat and wipe the beads of sweat on my forehead with the back of my hand but it wasn't helping.

It seemed like the more I cleaned the sweat, the more it came pouring down so I decided to ignore it instead and wiped my sweaty palms against my gown instead. I pushed down my fear and panic so they would not smell me while my nose tried to sniff out any scent I could attach to my brothers, my parents, or pack members but I couldn't sense anything amidst the terror in the air.

I got to the door of my eldest brother's room and I was about to open the door when it opened and I was pulled inside. I was about to scream when the hand of the unknown person covered my mouth. Panic overwhelmed me and the smell of my fear was quickly filling the whole room.

I suddenly felt a chill down my spine as my head did a quick math of who had grabbed me. I could not even place the smell of the person because my senses were suddenly not functioning and I know all these were happening in the space of just seconds even though it felt longer.

"Shhhh Genny, it's me, calm down" the voice of my 3rd brother, Calum washed over me and relief flooded me immediately. I turned to yell at him for scaring me like that when he spoke in my head.

"Quiet... it's too dangerous to talk. They might hear" there was panic and also fear laced in his voice as he wrapped his arms around me protectively.

"Have you heard from our other brothers at all? I haven't been able to locate anyone and I can't reach them either with the Mind link." I spoke back with our mind link because I knew it would be dangerous to talk as anyone could be lurking in the hallways now.

" I saw Ethan a while ago but we had to get separated because he was fighting" Ethan was the eldest and next in line to be the alpha of our pack. He had trained so hard and was well respected among the pack for his bravery and his leadership skills. He will be taking over the pack next year. If we survive this.

"I have a very bad feeling about this attack, Calum," I spoke with fear in my voice. Even though I was speaking in the mind link, there were still tremors in my voice to show how shaken I was by the situation.

It was nothing like the previous ones we had. These were not rogues who just came to cause a little havoc. They came intending to wipe out our entire pack. They were killing everyone. Men, women, and children.

"Me too baby. I don't like this at all. We don't even know who they are" He wrapped his arms around me tighter and moved us to a corner where we slid to the floor.

"Why are we seating? Let's go find the others" I panicked. Should we be saving ourselves when our siblings and parents are in grave danger?

"We are not hiding. You cannot fight and I am already exhausted. If we go out now, we would not survive" I could see in his eyes how exhausted he was. I think I even saw a wound on his back that wasn't healing but I still could not just hide here while my family was in grave danger.

"No Calum, we need to at least try." I insisted and got up, walking as fast as I could to get to the door but Calum was right behind me and he pulled my hands before I could open it.

"Stop it Genny, staying here is the best for now"

"How?" I cried out.

"What would you do if you see an attacker? Run? We both know that would not work" he screamed at me.

"But staying here like a coward isn't going to help either way. I won't stay here anymore. I need to find Dad" I explained while trying to free myself from him.

"Genny please, don't do this" he pleaded and I wished I listened. I wished I wasn't such a stupid girl.

I ripped myself from him and tore open the door. It would be my biggest mistake and regret in history because just as I opened the door, two huge male wolves rounded the corner. They were so freaking fast that I didn't have enough time to warn Calum before we were both grabbed.

One of the wolves seemed to be irritated by Calum's struggle as he tried to free himself but he was too tired to do anything. The wolf holding Calum gave him a hard blow at the back of his neck and he was out like a light.

"Calum!!!" I screamed in terror as his head rolled to the side.

"Shut up if you don't want me to kill him instead" the man who has holding Calum gave me a deadly glare that had me clamping my lips shut in fear but you could hear the whimpers behind my closed lips.

"They are the last ones right?" The one holding me asked the other and I felt dread wash over me. Does this mean they already got everyone else?

"Yes, I think so. They are the only ones missing" The blonde holding calum told the brunette gripping me harshly.

"Okay, let's go" I was pulled so roughly that I almost fell but the grip on my arms prevented me from falling. I know he didn't catch me so I won't get hurt but instead so I won't escape.

The blonde was practically dragging calum through the house and was not even bothered to hold him properly. I winced as I glanced back to look at my brother to find his knees scraping the ground as he was dragged unconscious.

"You are hurting him" I spoke angrily to the man dragging Calum like he was a log of wood but I received a hard smack in response from the one holding me and I could feel my ears ring from how hard the hit was. Why were they so strong?

"You better shut your mouth before you end up in a worse position" He spat and some of his spit landed on my cheeks which made me groan in disgust. I tried to clean the spit with my hands but I couldn't so I rubbed it against my cloth by the shoulders.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" I kept muttering through my pain as we were dragged through the house towards the front door. If only I had listened to Calum and stayed behind in that room we would not be in this position.

I would not even try to shift to my wolf form because I knew there was nothing I could do to save my brother from these monsters. I couldn't fight and they would kill me before I even transformed fully so I decided to put my head down and quietly follow them for the sake of my brother.

When we were dragged out the front door, Calum was tossed carelessly to the ground like a log of wood and I winced in pain as he landed with a huge thud.

I gasped in terror as I lifted my eyes to see my family beaten and dripping in blood. They were extremely hurt. My dad was practically covering my mother with his full body but it could not prevent me from seeing the blood flowing from her head.

I was appalled at the site. They were not healing. Why weren't they healing? What did these people use to hurt my family?

"Dad, Mom are you okay?" I cried as I tried to go to them but I was forcefully pulled back against the chest of the demon who was holding me.

"Please let me go, I beg you" I pleaded with him not daring to look at his face. He was silent for a while before I was tossed roughly to the floor.

I swallowed my whimper of pain as my lap brushed hard against the little rocks on the floor. I would heal so I did not even bother to check my legs and scrambled to my dad.

As soon as I got to him, he pulled me into his chest trying to hide my face in his chest.

"Dad, what's happening? Who are these people? Why aren't you healing?" I had a lot of questions to ask.

My mother let out a painful moan and my dad released me so he could wrap his hands around my mother instead and I was pulled into Ethan's chest.

"Ethan talk to me. I'm scared" he held me tighter as his breath became unstable and fast.

From my brothers' arms, I tried to examine the condition of my other brothers. Joseph and Luca were also in terrible states. My brothers who were known to be powerful warriors were reduced to nothing by these unknown monsters.

"Don't be scared Genny, we won't allow any harm to come to you" he tried to reassure me but even his voice was quivering with fear as though he was trying to reassure himself and not me.

I reach out my hand to grab Luca's hand that was laying beside mine on the floor and he squeezed my hands.

"Don't be afraid Gen. We will make sure you are fine even if it's the last thing we do" Luca spoke in the mind link and I could feel everyone's resolve weaken at his words.

Were we not going to make the night?

The cold was even worse on this dreadful night. I was shivering so badly and my brother tried his best to shield me from the harsh weather but he needed the warmth he was trying to provide way more than I did and I felt terrible but I was also aware that there was nothing I could do to make him change his mind so I just kept quiet and burrowed myself deeper into his arms and the little warmth he provided.

The monsters who did this to us were glaring at us but they had not yet uttered a word to any of us after they brought us here. I dared to look back at the pack house and could not stop the whimpers that left my lips as I took in the sight of our once beautiful pack house now brought to rumbles and ashes as it burned behind us.

I silently prayed to the moon goddess to save us from this disaster but it seemed she wasn't listening to any of us today. Has she turned her back on one of her own? Did we commit a great sin against her and now she was punishing us? I quickly dragged myself from those harmful thoughts, muttering apologies for my mistake of daring to doubt the moon goddess's plans for my family. She knows what's best for her people and she never makes mistakes but why this plan for me? I would die if I lost my family.

I peeked at the men parading in front of us. They were looking at us with anger and disgust, especially dad. The intent to kill him was so obvious on their face and it made me scared. Why would these monsters want to kill an innocent and loving man? I knew for sure that there was no way dad would have offended them.

The pack loved him for a reason and it's because he was so caring, and nice. He had never harmed anyone who didn't deserve it so I did not know what to make of these strangers' anger towards my pack and my home, a home that was now the shell of its former self.

I was getting impatient and so were my brothers and parents. We were blind in this matter. We had no idea who these people were and they were not saying anything to us. Instead they seem to be talking to someone through their mind link. Their leader perhaps?

"Who are you people? What do you want from us? Why have you destroyed our homes and killed our people as though we are animals?" Ethan roared. You could hear the pain and anguish in his voice as he spoke. His body shook against my cheek as he cried. Cried? I snapped my head up to study his face and surely, there were streaks of tears running down his face. Ethan never cries, he was a strong man but here he was crying in anguish at the loss we had faced today.

It brought a dull ache to my heart and deep down, I vowed to get my revenge and never forgive these people regardless of the outcome of today' event.

"Shut up, you dirty mutt. You murderers deserve worse. You are such great actors. you should become entertainers and not rulers" the blonde that had dragged me and Liam out of the house spoke. He spat on the floor in front of us as if we were vermin and I saw father's face were full of anguish and remorse but remorse for what? My thoughts zeroed in on the strangers words and I started to wonder why all these accusations were being thrown carelessly at my family. Why were they accusing Ethan of being an actor? I've known him my entire life.

Ethan glared harder. The glare eliciting whimpers out of my lips. He was an alpha and naturally commanded respect especially as the next in line. The strange wolves even took a step back.

"aaaah" Ethan groaned and I turned my head swiftly to see that someone had struck him hard and he was quickly bleeding from the back of his head

"Are you crazy? Do you want to kill him you bastard". I screamed in horror but the male just laughed at me. Others didn't laugh but I caught sight of some wolves with approval in their eyes at the action that just took place.

"You better shut up your trash else you'll be next" he spat but I refused to cower. Instead I spat at him and he groaned in disgust. He reached out to wipe the spit from his face and moved to hit me but his hand stopped midway. He dropped his hand and took a step back.

"Luca, Callum, say something... hey... LUCA" the sound of mom's pained voice made me turn from the man and my body became numb at the sight that greeted my throbbing eyes.

"Cal, Luc?" I crawled out of Ethan's arms towards my brothers who were laying too still. My hands trembled as I reached out to touch Luc's arms gently at first before I started shaking him violently eager to get a response from him.

"Luc... please wake up... LUCA... LUCA" I yelled but he wouldn't move. He was just sleeping so deep and he wouldn't answer either. He was too still. He had to be pretending. He can't leave me alone.

I turned to Ethan "Ethan, tell them to wake up.. this isn't funny anymore" I spoke but my voice was so shaky with fear

"Ethan, say something...they shouldn't die so easily. It's just a little beating wasn't it?" My heart was beating so hard against my chest but no one was answering me.

I crossed over Luca's body and crawled towards Calum's. I lay my head against his chest and it was still. There was no beat. He was so still.

"No" I whispered at first "No" this time it came out choked "please don't leave me. Cal I am so sorry, Please forgive me. It's all my fault" The tears that streamed down my face were hot with my burning guilt. If only I had stayed in the room like he asked, this wouldn't have happened.

I turned towards the men who were just watching "what did you do? What did you use on them?" I asked them but they just stood there, watching me with cold eyes. There was not a single trace of guilt or remorse in their eyes.

"Answer me goddamit" I yelled

"Wasn't the wolfsbane meant to make them just weak? How come they're dead? Fucking weaklings." Someone muttered but I don't know who. I was too busy trying to make sense of the situation before me but the careless statement made rage burn through me.

"You used wolfsbane on my family? You used that deadly poison on my family? Why?" Father roared so hard the ground practically shook. Mom cried out and you could hear her heart break as she tried to crawl to her children.

"You don't have the right to say anything. In fact you don't have the right to be angry. You have done far worse things so you better shut it". A man larger than the rest roared and I almost flinched at the ferocity of his voice but something held me back.

He was powerful but he wasn't an alpha. Maybe a beta. His build should be 6'2, he commanded respect and the other men with him flinched at his command and bowed in respect as he marched forward from where he was

He was furious. He was more than angry, he was livid and I didn't noticed when my heart began to beat as my fears began to grow

"Did dad have a hidden side he never showed us?" I wandered inside and Dad's eyes snapped to me. He heard my thoughts. He had fear in his eyes but not for the man before him.

My brothers, Ethan and Joseph had a look of guilt on their face and their eyes lowered as if they couldn't dare to look at the man before us. It was as though they had done him some wrong but I would never believe some stranger over my family. Never

"What's happening here? What's this?" A large figure emerged that I hadn't seen. He was the alpha and there was no mistake about it. He looked at us as if we were the filthiest filth, especially dad.

I hated the way his eyes lingered on me and something like shock crossed his features but it didn't stay long. The look he gave dad was something I couldn't describe and Dad had suddenly become mute at the entrance of this man. Who was he?

"Isaac I believe I asked you a question? Why are they dead?" He asked the man who I assumed was the beta and the man flinched back at the question. He was terrified of this man, not just respect but terror

"The warriors used wolfsbane on them, I didn't order them to do it, they acted all on their own". If I thought the beta was livid as well, I don't know what to call this terrifying anger on the alpha's face. In the blink of an eye, the large beta was on the floor and groaning in serious pain. It had to take a lot to bring such a huge man down even for an alpha that was just a bit bigger. This man was dangerous and powerful, two elements that shouldn't go hand in hand

"Whose idea was it? I believe I said death was too lenient for this people" He roared and out of instinct and the power he commanded, I whimpered and leaned into Ethan but he wasn't where he was before

No one spoke and the men from his pack stepped back in fear in order to avoid the wrath of his man. His whole being commanded respect even without demanding for it.

The need to submit myself to him was so strong and it was nothing like I had experienced even my father who was my alpha

"Ethan?" I turned to search for him but he was also lying still on the ground like Cal and Luca. He was gone as well. Our Alpha was gone. My knees gave out and I sat on the floor, weak.

"No, no, no, not you too Ethan. Please, I can't live without my anchor" my heart was logged in my throat but I was too scared to touch him as well. I was scared of what reality was showing me "Ethan please" I whispered brokenly "please don't leave me as well. You said you would be with me until the end"

Why was the moon bringing me so much pain? This wasn't the bargain. The night was only halfway gone but the part that had gone had taken half of my family with it.

My chest was aching so bad and the tears that were dropping from my eyes were endless. I scooted back from Ethan's body afraid of hurting him even more and I found Joseph's hand. I couldn't bear to look at him because he was half dead as well. There was no way he would survive the night.

I don't think I can endure anymore but it was far from finished. Dad and mom were so weak and they could barely move. Ethan, Calum and Luc were dead. They left me even after promising that they won't. Who was going to protect me now? I had a bad feeling about the way this would end and I didn't like it.

Even if the night ended on a positive note, there was no coming back from it. The hatred that grew inside me for these people in front of me tasted so bitter like Vermin in my mouth but I wasn't spitting it out. I would make them pay for what they did. They would pay for every single blood they shed on our pack soil tonight.

I lifted my eyes to meet the alpha before me and the pain in his eyes as he looked at the bodies on the floor didn't match their actions. I spat at his feet.

"You'll regret this. I promise. I'll make you pay"

"Grab him" The alpha instructed and before I could ask what was happening and who they were referring to, two of his pack members stalked forward and grabbed dad roughly. They lifted him and mom slid from his arms to the floor while they made him stay on his knees.

"Mary, are you alright" Dad tried to free himself and touch mom but he was very hurt and the men had a very tight grip on him so he couldn't escape their hold no matter how hard he struggled.

"Dad, Dad, leave him alone" I cried and made a move to go to him but I was held back by someone who tossed me to the ground again. I wanted to wince but I had been hurt a lot already so my body was slowly going numb from the rough handling.

Mom only groaned in reply and it was barely audible that if we didn't have enhanced hearing, we would have been unable to hear her. I left Joseph's hand and crawled to mom's side so I could check up on her.

I pushed against the man that still had his hands on me and he let me go so I crawled over to mom and sat on the bloodied floor, not giving a single care about my dress since it was already ruined, and gently lifted her so she was resting on me instead. She was barely awake with her face swollen and her eyes shut.

She must have gotten hurt when she was fighting at the beginning of the attack since she was one of the pack warriors and that's why she had so many injuries and wasn't healing, especially since wolfsbane was used on her.

"Hey mom, it's me, I'm here okay? You'll be fine, I promise" I don't know if I was reassuring her or myself but I needed my voice to be strong for her and dad.

"Geneva" She whispered brokenly and tried to open her eyes but she couldn't. He reached for me so I placed my hand in hers and she squeezed as much as she could.

"My baby girl, I am so sorry I was unable to protect you from all these," she said in my head when she realized she wouldn't be able to open her mouth to speak.

"Mom don't stay that, you've done a lot already, way more than any of us would have done. Don't worry now, dad would make everything alright" I spoke with determination through the mind link.

"I told him, I told your father not to go back a second time. I told him they would retaliate harder but he wouldn't believe me now see what he has done, he manipulated your brothers too and now my babies are gone. I would never forgive him" Mom cried through the mind link while I was left confused at the sudden confession.

"Mom, what do you mean? What did dad do?" I asked her but she wouldn't speak. I shakes her in fear thinking she had gone as well but she hummed in reply.

"Mom, talk to me, what do you mean?" I asked her again.

"Don't you dare Mary, she is better off not knowing anything. She would survive this and you know why" Dad warned through the mind link. I had forgotten that he would also be able to hear us since mom was using the family link and not our personal one. She was too weak to do that.

"Don't hate them, Geneva, you'll find out in due time we were at fault and this revenge was theirs to take. You are a strong woman so don't let what happened tonight make you think otherwise" She warned me it was so hard to take her seriously when she sounded so weak but I would never insult her by calling her that.

"Mama, you haven't told me why you are saying this? What did Dad and the boys do? Tell me please" I pleaded but she wasn't listening anymore. Her hands that were holding mine went limp and they slid to the ground.

"My beautiful baby" She whispered and I felt the link we shared snap. She was gone as well. She was gone. She left me alone. It felt like I was slowly going crazy. My wolf was howling with so much distress and the amount of links that had been cut off.

Dad felt it as well because he suddenly looked crazy. He pushed the men so hard they flew across space and he rushed to my mom's side.

"Mary...my love... talk to me." He was shaking her so much. He took her from me and held her to him. "What have you done? you've taken her away from me" he roared.

I watched as the tears found their way down his face. Dad and Mom were practically glued at the hips like other mates but theirs were unusual and often pack members would say that they were conjoined twins and it was hilarious to hear.

I heard stories about what happens when one loses their mates and it's not something I thought I would experience. I watched as my father yelled, screamed, and cried as he held on to my mother hoping she would open her eyes and tell him it was a joke but I knew that it wasn't going to happen.

Joseph was long gone as well. I noticed he left with mom and it wasn't a surprise at all. Joseph was the light of mom's world, her favorite because he was so fragile and got sick easily unlike her other kids. She waited for him and took him with her but she didn't consider the child she was leaving behind.

Dad had become so quiet. He was sitting limp with mom in his arms and his eyes no longer looked angry. They were just dead and lacked emotion. It was a scary thing to see.

I wanted to console Dad and tell him everything would be okay but I could not bring myself to utter a single thing to him. The words mom uttered to me were the only thing clouding my senses.

I had never had a reason to doubt dad before so now I kind of hated mom for putting doubts in my mind about the person that had loved me unconditionally all my life

"Dad?" My voice was so small as I spoke but he didn't answer me. It was like he wasn't here anymore and the air around him scared me so much it made me reluctant to go near him.

"I don't understand, why would you people do this to us? We are a peaceful pack and we've never hurt anyone ever. We don't even involve ourselves with pack wars so I don't understand why you would do something so wicked to us." I couldn't even yell because I was so exhausted sitting amid the bodies of my family.

"What is she even saying? A peaceful pack?" Someone scoffed but another cleared his throat as a warning sign so the person who spoke stepped back but I didn't miss the disgust in his eyes when his eyes found Dad. They felt no pity for us

"Why are you still here? Haven't you done enough? What more could you do? Everyone is dead, everything is gone so please leave us alone and go back to whatever hell you came from" I pleaded but nobody moved.

"I want to kill you myself. I want to put my hand through your heart and rip it out but what you are experiencing is way worse and it makes me satisfied since I know you wouldn't survive this because of the wolfsbane. You deserve so much worse for what you did to my pack and this is me giving you an easy way out" The alpha finally spoke and his words sent a chill of fear down my spine. I thought he would leave us alone but he wouldn't rest until Dad was dead.

Dad wasn't saying anything to this man but I understood. He was mourning and in pain. He failed to protect his mate and his family so I spoke up again instead.

"You are sick. You are worse than the rogues and the devil himself. Can't you see what you've done? You've killed them all and you still want more? How could you?"

"The only one I owe an apology to is you, I didn't mean for your whole pack to die, I just wanted him and his heir but, unfortunately, you lost them all. It happens in war. I wanted to kill him in front of his family but, sadly, they aren't here to experience that" His eyes finally met mine and he held regret but I knew that the regret wasn't because he regretted killing my dad but because of my brothers and it gave me a sense of closure but it wasn't enough to make me feel an ounce of pity for him.

"You think that is enough? Do you think saying sorry to me for killing a pack of over 300 people is enough? You better kill me here and now else you will regret it big time because I would make sure to repay this favor a hundred times worse"

The hatred in my voice was thick and laced with venom and I could see that he knew I wasn't joking. He gestured toward my dad.

"Make sure he is dead". I didn't bother to look as the man brought out a knife laced with wolfsbane and stabbed Dad. There was no indication of pain from him and the final snap of the mind link and bond we shared as a family and pack. They are all gone now. I was alone but maybe not for long.

I sat there still and empty. My head felt like an empty hallway and loneliness held my hands as I sat there all bloodied waiting for my judgment.

I couldn't cry anymore. I already exhausted my tears so I had none to give. I have never felt so alone as I did. I felt like an empty desert. It was as though I no longer had a sense of direction and my emotions took a pause because I couldn't feel anything.

"Let's go" the alpha gave me one final look before walking away leaving me lost. I thought I would be left alone but I was so wrong because I was grabbed by the brunette who had tossed Calum like a bag of dirt earlier and he was equally as rough as he had been with my brother as he lifted me to my feet.

"Where are you taking me? Leave me alone" I struggled against his grip but it was no use as I was dragged away from my family. I kept turning my neck to get a look at them and I caught sight of dad on his knees, his head bowed and his arms around Mom. He didn't look dead but I knew otherwise.

"Please leave me alone. I have to bury them, please" the tears were back as I cried and pleaded "please, I beg you. Don't let me leave them like this" I whispered but he didn't listen.

The other men started to leave as well, not looking back. They were done with what they came for but they were taking me with them.

Nobody looked at me as I struggled and cried to be released. I was tossed at the back of a car and the door was locked immediately. I tried to open it but couldn't. I kept tugging at the lock but it wouldn't budge.

The car began moving, taking me away from my home. My voice was hoarse as I begged to be left with my people but my pleas fell on deaf ears and we left the pack land.

They were killing me a second time by taking me away from my fami
