Chapter Prologue
Prologue
“Please take good care of our daughter. Make sure she knows about us and our family, but she must keep it a secret,” James said to Shane and Kelcie, the humans who would be raising his daughter from now on.
“Yes, Alpha James. We will protect her with our lives, and she will know everything. Are you sure there isn’t a way we can save you all?” Asked Kelcie as she looked between James and Teresa.
“I wish there was a way, but we must save our daughter and our pack. She only has her essentials packed in her diaper bag so when you get to the next stop get her new things and dump what she has now. Do what you can until you get to the witch’s house who will shield my daughter.” James said as he looked at the baby in his mate’s arms. She was perfect with her blondish red hair and her blue eyes.
She was going to be making all the guys go crazy and hopefully she would find her mate. He took his daughter from his mate and kissed her. He whispered, “Ryder know that we love you more than life itself and that is why we have to do this. You are the light of our lives and we wish we could see you grow up. Please remember the things that are told to you about us and know that there was no other way. We hope that one day you will forgive us.” James started crying as he hugged his daughter tighter and kissed her again. He inhaled her scent one last time and handed her back to his mate.
“Oh my baby girl. Momma always wanted you and knew that you would be perfect. We love you so much,” Teresa sobbed as she kissed her daughter’s cheeks. She had to rain in her emotions because she was about to lose her nerve. “We do this for you and your future. Please know you were wanted, loved, needed, cherished, and protected from the moment we knew you were in my womb. I love you times infinity my sweet, perfect baby girl.” Teresa kissed her daughter one more time and inhaled her scent. Shel looked over at Shane and Kelcie,” I packed a picture of us inside a locket for her to have. It cannot be seen by anyone. Please give it to her on her 18th birthday when you explain everything to her. I also put a note in her bag please make sure to keep it safe with the locket. Thank you both for this.” She handed Ryder over to Kelcie and turned toward her husband so that he knew she was ready.
“Yes thank you. Now hurry and go. We will hold them off the best we can. We don’t have many fighters left.” James said before turning around to see them running to their car with his baby girl. He had to fight his wolf not to run after them and take her back. They both knew what was best for her but it didn’t make it any easier. He turned to his wife and hugged her one last time. He could smell her scent and it was like a wave of calm overcame him. “Lets go baby.” They both walked out the door and became their wolves.
They howled so their pack knew they were on the way and would help defend their pack to the death. They would make sure their daughter made it away safe so she could live her life until she was old enough to avenge their deaths and put their pack back together. They knew she could because she was the daughter of Alpha James of the Black Water Pack and King of all Werewolves. She was also the daughter of Luna Teresa of the Black Water pack and Queen of all Werewolves. She has to be strong enough or the fate of the werewolves will be bleak at best.
