The hybrids alpha pact

Amora's Point Of View

 

It takes a second to ruin someone's life and happiness. It was just unbelievable how one moment I was tremendously happy, living my fullest and smiling endlessly, then the next seconds, that happiness was snatched from my hands and I was left in the deep darkness of sadness with a pool of unending tears and wailing.

 

I stood looking back at the house where my happiness had just been taken away from me and I couldn't control the endless tears streaming down my eyes.

 

"Mom, where did you put the board? I can't find it," I shouted to her as I searched the storage.

 

"Mom!" I yelled for her again as I didn't get a response the first time. I turned my ears towards their direction but nothing was coming forth. What the heck is going on?

 

"Don't come out of the storage," I heard my mom say across my mind.

 

"What?" I questioned her.

 

"I am coming, just stay put," she added. Now, I was super confused, I sniffed the air but noticed that the blocking powder had been blown. We only use that when hunting to mask our smell and something tracks.

 

The storage door suddenly opened and Mom was looking like she had just seen a ghost, panting terribly.

 

"What the heck is happening…," I tried saying but she shushed me.

 

"Baby girl, you have to do me a favor, okay? You have to stay here, quiet. Quiet! Without saying any word out, okay?" She said in a rush, constantly looking out the door.

 

"What's going on? At least just let me in on what's happening, the atmosphere is tense and why is the powder used in the house? Do we have uninvited guests?" I asked non stop.

 

"My love, this isn't the right time to be inquisitive. Keep your curiosity to yourself or you will end where you don't wish to be," she said to me.

 

"What's wrong with wanting to know what's wrong?" I asked her, trying to hide my anger.

 

"I'm sorry but I can't let you know anything," she said in a rush. She looked back again and turned to look at me with urgency.

 

"Use this on yourself to hide your scent, I have to go back before they start looking for me. I don't want them to discover you," she said looking outside as she pushed the little tube into my hands and rushed out, securing the door.

 

Who are they? I walked quietly towards the door but before getting to the door, it opened suddenly. I gasped but sighed immediately I noticed my mom.

 

"I told you to stay put, didn't I?" She said angrily.

 

"I was just worried about you, I don't…" I tried explaining to her but she suddenly grabbed the tube in my hand and poured the contents of the tube on me.

 

"Don't worry about me, worry about yourself," she said lightly, caressing my face calmly. She pushed me lightly into the corner.

 

"Sit here and be calm, wait for me or make yourself safe," she said to me before kissing me on the head and hugging me tightly.

 

"Be safe and alive," she said before walking out of the room the second time, shutting the door close behind her back.

 

I sat in silence while sniffing the air and trying to tune in on my parents. There were different scents in the air mixed with the powder and blood and tears and sweat. Were there dad and mom or the maids or our guards? They were struggling with their conversation with whosoever was terrifying them.

 

I crawled out of my corner and moved to the door, slightly pushed the door a little bit. Instant regret filled me, my mom was mercilessly being held at the neck by a hefty thug, her legs dangling in the air.

 

I could count five people, the one holding my Mom by the neck, three others standing around someone who I couldn't see well. Where is dad? I gasped when I recognized him, he was kneeling at the feet of a man who was seated on his favorite seat.

 

I caught a scent coming towards me and looking forward, I saw a huge reddish brown wolf walking towards my direction, it had blood smudged around its mouth.

 

I quickly shut the door quietly and crawled back to my space using a costume bear outfit to cover myself and waited for a while till the coast was clear before crawling out again.

 

They were still talking indistinctly among themselves, with Mom and Dad pleading. Then suddenly the man seated held Dad by the neck, extracting his nails into his neck.

 

I gasped and quickly held my mouth, sobbing into my palm. Mom briefly looked at my direction, our eyes caught each other, stayed for a while before turning away quietly.

 

"...love you so much, sorry… sorry I failed you… but you mustn't fail yourself," I caught his message faintly before he slumped to the ground, dead and wide open. He was staring at me dead in the eyes.

 

"Please…" I heard Mom's voice.

 

"...I got blood on myself…" the voice breeze by my ear. That voice!

Thud! Without realizing it, Mom's body also slumped to the ground, there was blood all over her face. I shivered in fear as I watched my Mom struggle with death.

 

"We are sorry, baby! We are, and we love you. I love you, I am sorry our time together is cut short. You have to live, you must survive and escape this, you are the only one left. But please try and get this image out of your head, I am sorry…" she pleaded as I screamed internally.

 

I placed my hand on the door knob and was about to run to my lifeless parents who were sleeping in a massive pool of their blood when the man stood up suddenly and looked me in the eyes. Oh shit!

 

I remembered Mom's words, 'be safe and alive, you have to live, you must survive and escape this, you are the only one left, we love you.' I must survive!

 

"Go get her!" I heard him say it loud and clear.
