Chapter 3 _______ Help Me!

|| ASHINA LEVITSKY's POV ||

" You are fucking marked my Red Moon Wolves?", my father's voice bounced against the high walls, drumming into my ears like a night mare. He gripped my sister's arms, dragged her into the pack house and kicked straight into her bedroom.

As expected, we couldn't escape the danger this time. Right after he discovered us in the woods, he smelt something fishy and found the mate mark on Anya's neck. Still, I wanted to defend her but then, I remembered that all of them knew how unique mark Red Moon Wolves usually leave on their mates. The color would be always dark red.

Anya didn't hide this time. She yelled back, tears slipping down from her eyes,

" It wasn't my choice. Moon Goddess gifted me him. What am I supposed to do, dad?"

" Reject him! Reject him at once when you found him as your mate! I can't believe that my daughter is so weak in front of mate bond!", our dad shouted in disbelief, anger lacing from his voice. I dared not to say anything. They needed to talk first but I didn't see that the conversation was taking us anywhere.

Anya sucked a raw breath, gasping hard after listening to dad's suggestion. She let out a bitter laugh before telling,

" How cruel of you! How can you..do this to your own daughter? You want me to go against the divine power to satisfy your manly ego? Tell me, what's wrong in marrying a Red Moon Wolf? Just because they are our enemy and taboo in our Mafia Business?"

I stared hard in disbelief at Anya. It was her first time, speaking to our father so rudely. Before today, she never raised or defended his words so bravely. Her loyalty towards my dad was unbeatable.

Dad also stared at her face for quite sometime until he let out an angry roar, pointing his finger at her, trembling,

" Look..look at yourself..You aren't even together but he has started brainwashing you already. You are already taking against your father? Is that how I raised you? You know the rules very well, Anya. We never allow anyone to be mated to any Red Moon Wolves. Have you forgotten how many members of our pack died because of them? Have you also forgotten how your mother died in their hands?"

Dead silence engulfed the room after the harsh truth was thrown out in front of us. Tears welled up my eyes, remembering the horrific night when our mother was killed without mercy. It was them, the Red Moon Wolves who took our land in Australia. However, they killed our mother to prove their strength in front of us.

Anya retorted in a cold voice, her voice cracking midway,

" Mother died because of you. You didn't let her go with her second mate. It was you, Dad. Why are you blaming someone else?"

I was stupified before looking up at my sister who was smiling bitterly. This...I had never heard anything about the other mate of my mother. But her words turned on the fury inside my father. He took a step forward angrily, slapped hard across Anya's cheeks to bark sharply,

" Asshole!!!! How dare you mention about the incident? You have disgusted me, Anya. I have never thought that my daughter would be doing the same mistake like everyone. However, I know how to fix a mistake. Prepare yourself mentally. You are getting married the day after tomorrow. You are going nowhere near to that bastard Alpha."

Anya begged repeatedly, sobbing as she held our dad's legs together,

" Dad! NO!! Listen to me, Please! Don't do this to me..I love Torvar..I can't let go of him..We can negotiate the business with him but please don't.. don't do this to me.."

He turned deaf ears to her pleading. Turning around, he left the room not before dragging me out.

Another day had passed after being confined inside the pack house. My dad was mad at me as well for helping my sister out. He told me that he was hurt because he trusted me the most yet I chose to keep it a secret from him.

How could I choose both sides at a time?

Anya was also my sister, my best friend who always had my back. She was locked inside her own room. Dad strictly forbidden everyone to visit her until her marriage.

Yes, he set up her marriage yesterday!

Even after knowing that she had found her soulmate already, he found another man for my sister who was the Alpha's son from the neighborhood pack. I felt like it was completely a wrong decision. We might be the enemies but Anya had her rights to chase her happiness. Besides, I could feel how much she loved Torvar. Guilt swelled up my heart, knowing that I was avoiding her cause of my dad's order.

Dad entered the dinning hall to have his lunch. I felt like it was the right time. I attempted to bring the topic on the table carefully,

" Dad! I think..you should take at least Anya's permission in this marriage."

He suddenly stopped eating and raised his head to glare at me,

" Ash! At least, I expect you to understand me. Your sister is blinded by this fake love. The Red Moon Wolves will neve love anyone from our pack. At most, they will only use to gain their motive. I won't let them use my daughter against me. Anya is the future of this pack. She should grow mature."

I rebuked weakly, staring at him with tearful eyes,

" What about Anya's happiness, dad? Don't you think that you are being cruel to her? She loves her mate and wants to spend the......."

" ASHINA ENOUGH!! ", he cut me off with a roar, kicking on the table hard. His nostrils flared before he continued to speak in a deadly whisper,

" You should be still thankful that I let your sister live. Have you seen what happened to those who found their mates in Red Moon Wolves? I am already being merciful by sparing her life. Now shut up and don't let them hear that your sister has broken the first rule as the heir of Silver Wolf Pack."

He didn't give me the chance of speaking again, left hurriedly. I burst into tears behind his back, hoping that mother would have been alive. She could have saved Anya from this pain and tortuous life.

I went upstairs with a bowl of food in my hand. Maddy just said that Anya hasn't eaten since last night. As soon as I approached the door, she smelt me and came rushing to the doorway,

" Ash! You are finally here! I thought that you were never going to talk to me!"

Tears burnt my eyes as I mumbled, choking on my tears,

" I..I am sorry..I couldn't help you..Dad isn't listening to me..."

She was crying from the back of the door, sobbing hard,

" I don't want to marry anyone else..I don't want to..Ash.. please.. please help me...help me..I want to get out of here.. Just one time.."

I replied, blinking through the tears in my eyes,

" How...how will I help you..Dad put all his best guards around the pack house so that you can't leave..If you try to escape, he might really kill you, Anya.."

Anya went quiet for a while. After giving it a quick thought, she replied in a shuddering voice,

" Torvar.. Torvar can help me..He can help me get out of this but I need you to inform him fast. Are you willing to help me, Ash for the sake of our sisterhood?"

I went numb there, debating to choose between my dad and sister. Should I betray my own pack because of my sister's happiness?
