Chapter 2

Havoc... That surely is what I caused. I'm already expecting this to happen knowing how bad I insulted that coward alpha and I experienced nothing but my father's wrath as days pass by. 

Well, I just told them my opinion which I have never done before. I never imagined that saying what my heart wants to shout will make me feel contented and happy because all my life, I was taught to keep my opinions locked in my mind rather than saying them. I never lied with the insult that I gave to that alpha. It just depends on him how he will take that but I know that a war will occur after a few days.

"Are you okay? I heard what happened yesterday, my dear." I heard a sweet voice from my back while I was standing on my balcony to watch the sunset and I immediately know who owns that voice, my mom. 

"Mom." I hugged her immediately after facing her. She started caressing my hair as I rest on her shoulder because of how tired I am dealing with my dad. 

"How's my daughter?" She asked me sweetly and this is the only time that I let my guard down and show the real me- even my weak side. 

"I'm fine mom. I just know if what I did was right. All I know is that I'm happy about it," I said, telling him what I honestly feel. 

"If you're happy, then don't think of anything else, ok? You got me. I need to leave now but if anything happens, you know you can always call me, right?" I nod and she hugged me one last time before leaving my room. 

I was about to go back to what I was doing when I hear a familiar sound that I've been hearing for the past few years since I was a kid- the sound of death and the music of war. It's happening... They are now on move just like how I expected it. 

I immediately ran towards the door as fast as I can to know what's the situation and what I should do next. 

"Milady, the Dark Wolves pack are currently attacking us and his highness ordered you to go out and lead our pack in the war," a servant reported to me my dad's command which I gladly did. I have been doing this all my life- fighting for the pack every time a war with another pack occurs even if it cost my life. 

I am always the one who's being tasked to take the lead in every war because they know my abilities and I can say that I'm already used to this. 

Those Dark Wolves pack will regret this move of theirs. They know nothing about me and what I can do to them. I can even take them down easily if I want to.

I immediately changed my clothes using my ability as a vampire and ran in the direction that the wind is leading me. I can turn into my wolf form but I prefer being in this form first where I can freely use my ability to kill them all in just a snap.

I stood in the middle of the two werewolves' pack, trying to find the enemy's alpha but he was nowhere to be found, not even at the back of his pack. 

So, I'm right when I said he's a coward. He literally hid behind his pack and sacrificed them instead of fighting with them. Such a useless alpha who doesn't deserve his position. 

I closed my eyes and communicated with my pack using my mind which only I can do. 

"Go back to our palace, I can handle it all alone," I said but before they can even leave, a loud explosion was heard inside the palace and the chaos started. That's when I realized that the explosion came from my mom's room where she's staying right now.

"No! MOM!" I shouted but instead of being able to run back to the palace, I was surrounded by hundreds of werewolves, as if trying to stop me from doing so but I have no patience and time to deal with them one by one. 

Their moves made me flame up literally. Flames started to eat my body until I just found all of the enemy's pack drowning in fire and slowly turning into ashes. 

I felt the wind embrace me as the fire within me started flaming again. My feet left the ground and the wind started to bring me to the sky to watch the whole pack be burned by fire and as I was enjoying the moment, I remembered the reason why I was furious enough to burn all of them alive. 

Mom...

I immediately ran towards where the explosion occurred and there I saw the Dark Wolves alpha, flaming and slowly turning into ashes while my mother was lying on the cold floor with blood all over her and my dad was just standing in front of him as if it's just a normal scene for him to watch but when he saw me, he immediately gave me a sharp glaze but I didn't bother minding his glaze. 

With my whole body shaking, I still managed to walk toward her to confirm if she was really my mom.

I was hoping desperately that that was not her. That's not the only person who cares for me and loves me for who I am. That's not the one who was just hugging me a while ago. I was wishing that that was not my mom but no, it was her lying on the floor. 

"Mom!" I cried and immediately hugged her despite the blood all over her because she's also the only one who hugged me despite the thorns that were surrounding me all my life. 

She was the only woman who knows and support me but now I failed to protect her. I failed to be a good daughter. All I can do now is to hug her cold body knowing that I won't feel her embrace anymore and I will be alone again. 

I can't accept it. I want to torture and kill that pack again but I can't... My whole body is shaking and my strength already left my body. 

I can't believe that I'll feel this weak and helpless. I don't want my father to see this weak side of me but I can't stop myself. I Can't control my tears... Just let me do this for a while...

"Mom, please wake up!" I cried and tried to use my ability to bring her back to life but even my power can't do that. Even my abilities failed to save her...

Why am I so useless? Why can't I save even my own mother? I am considered to be the most powerful creature living but I still feel so weak and helpless. 

This is all my fault. This wouldn't have happened if I obeyed my father. She would still be alive if I didn't become hardheaded...

It was all my fault! 

"Stand up!" My father commanded but it can't... I don't want to leave my mother... I want to feel her embrace even just for the last time but it seems like no one wants me to do what I want because my father pulled me with all his strength for me to stand up but he won't be able to stop me. 

I used my ability to surround myself with fire just so no one can stop me from doing what I want. 

"I said stand up, Hermione!" His shout echoed all over the palace but I pretended that I can't hear him and cried my heart on my mother's chest. 

I just want to hug her until it's time for her body to turn into ash but why doesn't he want me to? Why is he being selfish again? Why can't he think of me even just for now? Why does it seem like he doesn't care at all? Why isn't he mourning just like me? Is it because she was just forced to marry my mother? I can't believe him! 

"You're disobeying me again, huh? Can't you see the consequences it caused you for not doing as I say and being hardheaded? Look at your mother, Hermione, and tell me that it isn't your fault! This happened because you disobeyed me so now stand up and do everything I'll say!" This time, his voice was louder and her words struck me right through my heart as if burning me alive just like what I did to our enemies. 

I slowly stood up, trying to wipe off the tears that seems to have no end, and faced him.

I can't look at his eyes and I can't even look at my mother now.

He's right... This is all my fault. None of this would've happened if it wasn't for me. 

I just wanted to be happy- to be a normal person but I didn't know that that wish will cause me the only person that I have. I didn't know that my desperateness will lead my mother to her death. 

"Good... I'm glad that you know what you did wrong and I also know that you know you have to obey me from now on or else something worse than this will happen, right, my dear daughter?" I just nod a little while still looking on the floor, unable to speak nor fight him because I know that what he's saying is right. 

I'm sorry, mom... I wish I could turn back time. I wish I had known that my actions will have a consequence that will change everything. I wish I was the one who died instead of you...
