Chapter Everything Scary
The next several chapters will be in Alexi's POV before alternating between two characters.Enjoy!
I squeeze my teddy bear closer to me as i listen to the crack of my father's belt against my mother. My ears ringing as she cries out in pain.
"You are mine! I will never let you leave me." My father screams as another snap echos through our home. He is a vicious man. They said mates could never hurt one another. Well they were wrong !
My mother had a mate. A true mate, but she was forced by her father to reject them and take my father as a chosen mate. All for a stupid treaty between packs. There was no love there and he proved just that everyday. He cares nothing for her or anyone else for that matter. Only power.
I squeeze my eyes shut as tears hit my pillow. Mother had tried to get us away again. We barely made it to the packs border before father snatched my older brother Sinead off his feet, by his neck. A promise to snap it, if mother didn't return at once. She had held on to my hand tightly. Tears filled her eyes as she bowed her head and craddled her swollen belly. No words were said as we slowly walked back to our home. The pack house.
First he beat me. I cried out as his fists connected with my head, repeatedly. He then dipped his extended claws into a shimmering grey dust. Silver! The smell burned my throat and I held my cough in fear of making him even more upset. I barely had time to register my immediate danger. Before he racked them down my back letting my then crumple to the floor.
The poison seared my skinand boiled my blood. Once he left , I slowly crawled to my bed. Trying to get in but failing and just laying on my side next to it. It burned terribly. I knew I had tk clean it as I'd watched mama do with our warriors many times. But I was only 6 and didn't know how, nor did i have a wolf yet so no rapid healing.
I heard Sinead scream from his room realizing father was now punishing him for following mother. Until it went silent. Its been hours since our punishments. Hours since we'd returned. Hours since he started to whip mother and snap her bones. He was merciless. His pack stayed due to fear not loyalty. His Beta...Harris was no better and gave me the yuckies.
I knew he wouldn't help, nobody would. Harris because he also enjoyed control and the others because they were scared. My mothwr Elizabet held this pack together with her love ,kindness and healing. She used to be a nurse but father made her stop. Once he realized the pack loved her more. One last snap sounded before my mother fell silent.
I peaked through my lashes and strained to hear anything. I struggled to stand from my position on the floor before slowly opening my door. Painfully i stepped into the hall . My brother was already standing against the wall. His hair matted to a gash on his forehead. He looked to me with pitch black eyes that held anger. But I knew it was towards me. He looked towards our parents room before placing his finger to his lips and crept down the hall.
His fists clenched and unclenched at his sides. I gently touched his arm and he nodded. As we made it to the door and opened it. What we saw made my heart sink. Our mother lie lifeless on the bed, as our father's bloody hands roamed the inside of her stomach. He looked crazed and frantic as his wolf whined.
Not once did he acknowledge our presence. I stare into my mother's dull eyes and she seemed to stare back at me. Tears streamed down my face. A cry brought my eyes back to my father. He craddled the bloody baby that minutes ago grew within our mother.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." His wolf mumbled into space. For a moment his eyes softened before the golden hue was replace once again by the evil green color of my fathers eyes. He began to slowly tighten his hold on the bloody buddle. Suddenly my father was thrown back. Instinctively my arms snatched the falling baby. His wails grew louder before flaling silent. He was blue, very blue.
