Chapter One•I Can't End Up Like My Little Brother

Ellen furrowed her eyebrows as she walked towards the training area.

she really hates to train with the other wolves as majority of them are pure blooded and she feels awkward running in her human form along side with pure she wolves.

"Ahhhhh......ah.....h......"

The falling of large objects on the ground snapped her out of her daze back to reality.

"what just fell down?"

she asked not really referring to anyone.

She turned her head and saw nothing .

she immediately fixed her gaze back on the road she was walking on.

soon flame filled the whole place and she looked at her back and noticed that the houses in the pack were all on fire.

"mom, dad!"

she shouted as she started running back to her house, perhaps the fire haven't penetrated inside their house yet,

perhaps her parents are in search of her..

All these and many more questions rained themselves on her with absolutely no one to answer them.

As she kept running with full vigor she halted when she saw a silhouette of a shadow standing on a lean that led to her house but she wasn't sure if they were men or women becsuse one thing she was sure of was that they were two in number.

She slowly leaned on a wall beside where they stood,laying her hands together on her body she slowly neared were the men stood and squat down so as to get a glue of what they were saying,but to her surprise they men went there separate ways the instant she squatted as though observing that a pair of ears just added to theirs.

she was about to stand up from where she was squatting then she heard the loud noises coming from the footsteps of running wolves.

When she looked at the wolves,to her, they seem more like strangers than Pack warriors.

She turned to the direction where the ran to and when she noticed they've gone far away, she stood up and began to head back to her house .

Fear,fret and disquietude filled her, after she heard the wailing sounds coming from obviously the omegas.

She felt that the same agony will be hers if she continues with going home in search of her parents, but on a second thought she knew that if leaves the pack without an assurance of her parents life that she will definitely life a live filled with agony and pain, and guilt of her behavior.

"Alpha, I have bad news for you."

Ellen heard a man's voice which made her halt in her track .

she stopped running and started looking around for a good spot to hide .

Then finally she found a trash can which covered her perfectly.

"What news do you have, spill it ."

The man he referred to as Alpha asked him in a very serious tone that even left Ellen shivering.

"I found out that we don't only have Micheal to deal with there's still one more person."

The other man said to the Alpha.

"And who might that possibly be?"

The Alpha asked with loud tone forgetting they've been keeping there voice low all the while.

"I found out he has a daughter which he's been hiding from everyone which even his pack doesn't know about."

The man said still maintaining his low tone ,this time around it was more like a whisper.

"The girl, where is she."

The Alpha's voice this time didn't get loud neither did it get lower.

"I think she's among the omegas in his pack or perhaps he hid her at the same place his son disappeared to ."

The man said to the other.

'Alpha Damien, I think they've got a support.'

His beta mindlinked to him.

"Zach, you can leave now, I will call you when we're done here."

The Alpha said, without waiting for any reply from the man he ran off, shifting to his wolf at the process.

After some time the other man also ran off but to another direction shifting to his wolf also.

Ellen stood up from where she squat and began to run again towards her house.

she has to get to her parents before the fire burns down the entire house...

Her mom, her dad and her.

she halted at her sudden realisation that her little brother of eight years went to the Alpha's mansion this morning.

She immediately turned ber back and began to run as fast as she could to the Alpha's mansion which seems to be the only house without a flame emitting from it.

she walked past the gate to the Alpha's house and to her surprise there's wasn't any guard at the gate of the Alpha's house.

With determination in her, she walked to the house and slowly calmed down when she began to hear obviously a sobbing sound of a child.

"where is Micheal?"

A man asked the crying child.

"I don't know, I'm saying the truth , he just asked me to read some books from his library then he left, I also...."

The young boy was still talking when one of them stopped everything he was about to say with a loud slap that landed on his both checks.

The voice Ellen heard was very much like her brothers but still she refused to believe he was the one in there.

it can't be her brother..

No it can't...

she kept saying to herself even though the slap that came across the child's cheeks made her whole body shudder in fear but still it can't be her brother.

"Tell me the truth now, where is Micheal?"

A man asked the boy again.

"I don't know, it was when my sister Ellen..."

He was still speaking but soon loud noises filled the whole room as the child shouted for some time and then a loud sound like that of someone that just collapsed was heard after that, she didn't hear anything else from the room.

Hot tears left her eyes rolling down like a heavy rock because that was what it was to her ...

Her precious little boy that doesn't even know what a war is ...

Neither do he know his offence...

In his case he died for another person.

"Ellen, I will be the beta when I turn eighteen."

Her brother words ran through her mind as though he just said it now.

"Ellen I love you, you're the best sister in the world."

He had said while hugging her, she hugged her legs tightly together as if she was hugging her brother.

The last word that came to her mind made her let out a painful wince, a plang, it's more like an emotional wound.

"it was my sister Ellen...."

That had been the words in his lips before he passed out...

Before they took him forcefully ....

away from her.

The clicking of the door snapped her back to reality, she could have ran out when she had the opportunity to, but she didn't.

she saw a man dragging something and when she looked closer she saw it was a body..

Of a child..

Her brother...

Her little brother...

Her best friend ...

Someone that always lit up her mood ....

it was always her little brother...

she involuntarily let out a loud cry that made the men dragging the body to turn in search of where the noise was coming from.

she didn't wait for them to see her, she immediately took to her heels and ran like she has never before...

She ran like the fastest animal ...

she was running for her life...

she can't end up like her little brother...

No she can't...

Her parents can't be left without any child ....

Her papa and her mama needs her so much....

Immediately she reached in front of their house, she rushed inside but before she could close the door, they people after her were already inside the house.

She heard a loud wince from an inner room and was about to neglect them when one of them dragged her hands and held her it backwards....

"ahhhhhhh"

she shouted but then she saw something .

Her mom and her dad stripped in a pool of blood.

"Mom!

Dad!"

She looked up at the face behind them and saw a man, he was stained with blood all over his body.

"Alpha, I think he is falling to the trap."

someone said from the door.
