Secrets

Aprils pov

I'm dragged to the dungeons by the guards and I hear people murmuring a few " you don't deserve this" and " I'm sorry.

However,their words are inadequate because they cannot free me from the silver chains!

Once upon a time I used to believe that I had the best pack and one of the best alphas but all that went to hell today.

We enter the dungeons and I'm instantly hit with the smell of rotten blood and dead bodies.

Is this where they torture people? Or were these people sentenced to stay in this wretched place till their last breath?

One guard escorts me to the cell and throws me in it.

Its dark but I can still make out my surrounding using night vision.

The walls are stained with blood and there is only one small window in the cell. There are two people huddled over each other. They look weak and oddly familiar.

I take in the scent and it's the same as my parents.

" M....m..mom? D...d..dad?" I stammer.

The people straighten up and look at me with pain and a slight bit of hope.

Why are they so hopeful at a time like this?

" April, come here! Lets have a family hug.' My father jokes.

I jump on them and they sandwich me in the middle.

Everything is quite and it's clear that everyone is shedding their invisible tears as we remember the doom that awaits us tomorrow.

Mom breaks the tense and sad atmosphere by saying " April, we want to tell you a bed time story"

" really mom? I'm eighteen not eight! " I say while smiling.

" please April? Just one last time." She says while tears threaten to escape.

The way she says " one last time" reminds me of the fate that my parents will be subjected to tomorrow.

This is the last time they will ever hold me, the last time I will ever hear them talk and this is the last time I will be with them before I lose them to the cluthes of death.

This is last time I do anything with my parents and it's all my fault!

The tears start flowing like the River Nile and it's unstoppable!

" mom? Dad? I'm very sorry this is all my fault...!" I say in between hiccups.

" don't you ever blame yourself young lady! I was the one who chose to disrespect the alpha not you! So,don't you dare blame yourself! " my mom comforts me.

" now how about that bedtime story?" My dad asks while changing the subject.

" I'm listening dad! " I try to fake being excited but I fail miserably.

"Once upon a time there was a couple. They loved each other very much and were mates.unfortunately for the couple they couldn't have children. They tried everything but nothing worked

One night when the husband was out hunting, he came across a couple.

The couple seemed sad and afraid.

" hello? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" He asked.

The couple turned and he was surprised to see them carrying a child.

" this is our daughter. We are in danger and she is the last of the Sinclair blood line.. they will find us soon and kill our baby." They replied.

" what are you running from? " the hunter asked.

" we do not have time to explain. Just please take care of our daughter and make sure they never find her! " they said

They left the hunter with the baby without answering any of his question. He debated on leaving the child but when he gazed upon her face,he saw nothing but innocence and when she opened her eyes he decided for sure he would keep her.

The hunter went home to his wife and told her about the child.. they were very happy and never heard from the couple again...the end." My dad concludes.

Before I can say anything dad already starts talking.

" you are not a Robinson ! You are a Sinclair! " he tells me.

Wait, Sinclair? Isn't that the last name of the child that was found by the hunter?? I can't be that ch..

Before I can finish my thoughts. my dad says the words that I've been dreading to hear.

" April, you are not our biological daughter."
