CHAPTER-2

Alex P. O. V

(Nineteen years later)

I am six year old playing in the garden. I am chasing a butterfly. Bright sunlight is touching the horizons of the land. Cool breeze touches my skin. Long stretch of flowers covers the valley.

"Alex, come here to me".

I turned , I saw my mother sitting on a blanket with a picnic basket by her side. She smiles kindly at me.

" Come here have something to eat before you run off to play".

My mother is sitting a few feets away. She is wearing a white long dress. Her long blond hair flows down her back. Her long honey-colored hair lox covered her eyes as the breeze passed. She moves them out of her sight, her long eyelashes trembling when she opens her eyes.

Her eyes are as green as forest. Her eyes sparkled with warmth.Her lips are as red as rose and they are as soft as its petals when it touches my cheek lovingly. Her nose is small but pointed. Her milk as white skin glows in sunlight. The flower crown on her head is made of white lilies and grasses. I made it for her. She looks like a pure angel decent on the Earth from heaven. Her soul is as pure as her face.

"Come here baby girl".

She spread her in front of her and signaled me to come close.She smiles wholeheartedly at me. I am holding a flower for her.

" Mommy ".

I ran to my mother and wanted to be in my mother's waiting arms. Her motherly warmth will engulf my small body. Her arms will shield me from the rest of the cruel world.

I am about to touch my mother when the scene before me changes. I am fourteen years old. I am in a cemetery. People are moaning and crying over their loved ones who are dead.

My eyes fall on the gravestone. I was written

'David Haward

1982–2017

Beta of Midnight Moon Pack,

A loving husband of Emilia Harward

&

Father of Noah Haward

and Alex Haward'.

My mother is holding me by her side. She is crying profusely. Her body is trembling. Beside me Noah is sitting. His head is bowed down. His body is shaking in agony and cries. We The scene before me again chane

My mother is standing before me, tears are running down her eyes .Her eyes are red and puffy from crying.Her long hairs are sticking on her. Sweat has coated her body. She is holding the knife on her neck. The edge of the blade is digging in her skin. The blood is flowing down her neck

Noah is trying to stop her. Tears are running down his face.

"Mom, don't do this. I need you, Alex needs you. Mom please stop Mom".

Tears rolled down her eyes.

" Look after your sister, son".

I can not control myself.

"Mom, no. Stop .Don't do this mom".

She looked directly in my eyes and sliced her throat.

" NO".

I woke up from my dream. I was covered in sweat. I am panting badly. My mouth felt dry.

"It's just a nightmare. It 's just a nightmare".

I cleaned my face with the back of my hand.

My brother, Noah bust through my room door.

Ever since our mother died he has become very protective. I could not blame him. He was grieving from the loss of both our parents. He just did not want lose another person close to him.

Ever since our parents died it was just us. Noah gave up his life to take care of an fourteen year old girl. He had been playing the role mother and father for me instead of living his own life. I owe Noah my life . If it was not for him I would not here ,where I am today. So I could endure his overprotective ,pain in my ass instinct but I could afford to lose him.

He was running his hand on my head to calm me down.His touch were comforting.It was helping me to calm down.

"Alex what happened ?Are you alright? Do that nightmares come again? " .

I nodded in response, tears was flowing down my eyes.

"Shh it's ok. I am here I am here. It's just a nightmare shhh".

When I calm down he move the hairs that were sticking my face. He hugged me and kissed the crown of my head . We were sitting like this for few minutes then he pulled away.

"Alex get up you have to clean the pack house and do the laundry and do not hide colour powders in their cloths while returning" .

"I did no such thing" I blinked at him, acting all innocent.

"Actually you do some thing like that every time"

" That old hag was wrecking my brain by continuously saying that I should clean her white shirt and colour clothes seperately. I don't have so much time ,so I have cleaned it together and it's not my problem that her white shirt looks like rainbow.Though now her good for nothing white shirt is looking like funky monkey rainbow shirt and it looks perfect on her.That granny need some colors"

Noha laughing and shaking his head"After that stunt of yours have pulled on her,she is definitely never going to give her laundry, not only you have mader her white shirt a rainbow shirt but also faded the colour of other clothes of hers. You are lucky she didn't chase you with her cane" in response I only shrugged.

"Even if she did she could not win from me".

"Alex do you remember you have duties in pack house today? So get up and get ready.You have to clean the entire pack house because what you had done " .

"How could I forget .All this punishment was because of that moron. But I do not feel guilty about it after all that alpha's douch bag son try to hit on me for such a long.He need to learn a lesson .He paid for his deeds".Alpha James's son had been harassing me for a long time ,so to teach him a lesson I snuck into his room , used permanent red paint on his face and apply super glue on his eyebrows . My intentions were to make them stiff but he placed his arm on his eyebrows in his sleep. I left the room before he woke up. He must had pulled his arm very hard to detached it from his face and in the process he lost his eyebrows. The good news was arm detached but the bad news was his eyebrows were stuck to his arm instead of being on his face.

"It take him 4 month to get themback and you use pink dye in his hair after few weeks".

" But the best part was his asshole face which was completely red for three months with no brows and pink hair as well. He used to look like red color alien with no brows and with pink hair.Serve him right,should have known what he is getting himself into"

"His face was red for more than three months for trying to remove the paint. I wish I could tell I feel bad for him but he deserves what he got and even more " Noha said with a amused face though he is disappointed but he can not tolerate a asshole is trying to hit on his sister.

"To me ,he look like a full red angry bird when wear his red hoodie just he need a beak" . I imagined him in that burst out into laughter. The piece of shit did really look good in that. Seeing me Noah joined the laugh.

Noha and I compose ourselves and he commanded to join him for breakfast.

After I was done with my daily task I switch my laptop that is connected to the pack house CCTV cameras. One year ago I had hacked their security system, and no body knew about it.I could keep an eye on everything that was going on in the pack house.

I looked up at my mother's picture where my mother's arm are around us and Noha is standing beside me. It was taken when I was six years old when we were a happy family, when mom and dad were alive.Dad took this picture that day.Thier death was a shock for us.We both never talk about our parents death as it reminds the wound are still somewhere fresh after five long years. I took the picture and turned it behind it there was a message I had written a long time ago in hope that one day my parents would return at very young age but it never happened.

I LOVE YOU MOM & DAD.

NOAH AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH.
