"Aubrey, quickly pack your bags. I'm leaving you at Lucy's for tonight." I said sending a text to James.
"What? But I don't want to go." She said finishing her pancake.
"I won't be home by night. I don't want you to be alone. " I said.
She sighed.
"Sorry. But try and understand." I said to her,
"I do. " She said and went upstairs.
I called Lucy's parents just to make sure. 5 minutes later Aubrey came down with her purple bag. I grabbed the car keys and we drove towards Lucy's house. I stopped the car and came out of the passenger seat. AubI came back home from the back door, which was open most of the time for mom and dad. It was an emergency back door. I changed my clothes and heard a knock on my door. I got up and opened it. Aubrey. Her face looked so much better now. She hugged me tight.
"Are you feeling better?" I asked her.
She nodded her head and looked at me.
"Hungry?" I asked.
She nodded, but not much emotion was visible on her face. My heart was trembling seeing her like this. I went into the kitchen to cook pancakes that mom had taught me, a month ago. I cooked them and served it to Aubrey. She looked at me before eating.
"What about you?" She asked.
"It's alright, I'm not hungry. You go ahead." I said.
She ate food silently. I kept texting James and asking about his whereabouts. They were still at the site. I wanted to go there, but I couldn't leave Aubrey. Suddenly an idea popped into my head.
rey hugged me once more. I kissed her forehead.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning okay?"She smiled, it made my heart warm. "I love you."
"I love you too." I hugged her tighter.
On the porch steps Lucy's mother was standing. I waved at her and she smiled back. I drove to the place where James had texted me to come. Already about three cars were there. I pulled over and got out of the car. I could see James talking to a police officer.
I walked over to him."Found something?" I asked.
"Yeah, well, they took a blood sample which was on the car, to check. We might get a clue." He said.
A crane was lifting up the wrecked car. My parents.
"Where are they?" I asked James"The pack hospital. I'll take you." He said.
We reached the hospital. I almost regretted the decision to see them. I couldn't see them like this could I? We walked to the morgue , James opened the door and led me in. I could see two bodies covered in white sheets. It felt like I was almost paralyzed. I took a deep breath, and a nurse was standing. She brought the cloth down, my heart crumbled again. I took a step back. She unveiled the other sheet. With one glance I went out. I couldn't bear it. I saw James talking to an investigator.
I walked up to them."We thought the blood on the car belonged to Alpha and Luna. But ,it wasn't theirs ." The investigator said.
"So whose blood is it?" I asked.
"Vampire." The investigator said and walked off.
"Are you saying a vampire killed them?" I asked James. "I'm not sure, but the blood and the wolfsbane, they know how poisonous it is to us." He said. "Don't worry about that Zoe, we'll find out who it is. The pack demands an answer. You shall address them tomorrow." He said. Suddenly something that had happened in the morning hit my head. "James. Today, when I turned into a wolf, i- I saw my eyes were red." He nodded. "I saw them last night. You are the heir, so the next Alpha is you. You are in charge of the pack now." "Me? But how can I run a pack? I'm just 18." I said. "Zoe. You can do this, the Alpha blood runs in your family. You must continue and make your family proud. And I am you ever serving beta. I'll help you, don't worry." He said. "S-so tomorrow I have to tell the whole pack? That- I'm the Alpha?" I asked. "Yes Zoe. This pack belongs to you now, and we have to avenge your parents death, we'll make this pack stronger and faster than any other pack and we will kill t
THREE YEARS LATER. "So you're saying there's a coven of vampires in the south?" I asked James over the phone. "Yeah, we'll look like an abandoned house , but I'm sure they live here." He said "I followed their scent." "Okay, come back, you shouldn't go there unprotected." I said and hung up the phone. The door to my room clicked open, I looked at the clock ,4am. I knew who it was, without turning I said "Go back to sleep Aubrey, it's a special day for you tomorrow." "Well, will you come?" She asked. "No. Now go back to sleep." I said, finally turning around and looking at her. "Please Zoe, what if you won't see me after tomorrow?" She asked. I sighed. "Fine." and with that she went back to her room. ----------------- I woke up with a start, the nightmare still haunting me. It was around 8 am, I quickly brushed my teeth and had a bath. I quickly wore jeans and a sweater with some sneakers. I went down to see Aubrey cooking breakfast.She sat down next to me, she was usually th
"What?" I was surprised. He said nothing but stared at my face. "Alpha!" One guy came running. "There's a problem, Kevin called." He said handing out a phone. He walked to grab the phone and I made my way to the car. "Quick Johnson, let's leave." I said. In a few minutes we were at my house. I quickly went inside and locked the door. I can't be his mate. I don't have a mate. I sighed. I had other problems on my list. I quickly changed back to the clothes I was wearing earlier. I quickly wore sneakers and as soon as I picked up my phone to call James, Ashley the security head called. "Hello, a-Alpha?" She asked if her voice was trembling. "What's wrong Ashley?" I asked "T-there was a security breach, t-two of the guards have been killed." She started crying. "Okay, okay Ashley don't cry, are you alright?" I asked. "Y-yes I couldn't see t-them they were too f-fast." She said and then suddenly she gasped. "Ashley! Ashley? Are you okay!?" I almost screamed into the phone. "Alp
Continuation of James P.O.V Zoe was lying unconscious, we were in Alpha stone's mansion. Marie was treating Zoe. Alpha stone's face was grim, his eyes didn't move away from her face. "Will she be okay?" Alpha stone asked. Marie didn't say anything, she grabbed a scalpel and dragged it along Zoe's wrist. Dark blood oozed out, and the cut wasn't healing. "The wolfsbane is in her blood, I will try and bring it out, if it comes out she'll be fine, though she will be weak for a long time." She said, grabbing some herbs and mixing them in a glass bowl. She crushed the herbs and added a red liquid which was in a vial. She then grabbed Zoe's arm and opened the cut, she looked at Alpha stone. "I need you to hold her arm, I need to pour this in her cut." Alpha stone gently grabbed Zoe's arm, he looked up shocked. "She's so cold." He whispered. "She'll be okay right?" Aubrey asked with tears in her eyes. Marie poured the liquid into Zoe's cut. After a few seconds the cut started to sl
(Dream) I was standing on the edge of a mountain, I took a tiny step forward and looked down, nothing but blackness. "Zoe." I heard my mother from behind, I turned around to see her smiling face ,with dad standing next to her. "Mom." I took a step to touch her, but my hand just went through. Same thing happened with dad. I got scared. "Aren't you going to come with us?" My dad asked. "B-but what about Aubrey?" As soon as I said Aubrey appeared behind my mom. She extended her hand as if to try to hold me, I raised my arm, and to my horror it went through again. "Wh- what is happening?" I was scared. "Come, with us." Aubrey's eyes suddenly went pitch black and her blood stained fangs appeared, she growled at me. "You're not Aubrey, none of you are my parents." I said pointing at them , who were too ,like Aubrey hissing at me. "You're right. But too late Zoe." She laughed and pushed me off the edge. (Dream ends.) Zoe's P.O.V I gasped as I begged for air to fill my lungs, my e
"Take me to him." He said and got into his car. I got in as well. Christopher drove ahead of us and we were behind. Tyler's hands were clutching the steering wheel tight, his jaw was clenched. Soon we reached a familiar place, the pack hospital. We rushed to where Tyler's beta was kept. We reached the room and he was covered in white sheet only his face was revealed. His face had cuts and scratches. "He was poisoned. Like you were." Alex said, looking at me. "But, They slashed his body in half." He said "Was it them?" Tyler asked with no emotion in his voice. "The vampires? Yes." He replied and went out. Christopher followed him out, leaving Tyler and I alone, with his beta. "What was his name?" I whispered. "Kevin." He said after a few seconds. I looked at his cuts on his face, his blonde hair lifeless, his face paler than ever. The cuts, they looked too deep. I couldn't stand it any longer, the images of my parents like this flashed in my mind, I headed out of the door and
Tyler sat down next to me as I waited for James to continue. "Zoe, you and Aubrey were born in one of the most powerful Werewolf families, your father was the biggest Alpha and so was your mother the greatest Luna. The blood runs in your family. Vampires and other supernatural creatures had a certain respect for the Alpha and Luna. But since they were killed, the power transferred to you. I don't know why he is killing our kind. It's clear he wants you, but it's for power, nothing else." "But. There are so many other powerful Alpha's around! Why me? Why my parents?" I almost shouted. "It's also because your mother killed one of their kind." He said softly. "What?!" I was astonished. He nodded. "I should have told you this earlier, but I didn't know it would come to this." "No, James, tell me why did mom kill a vampire?" I asked. "A werewolf had fallen in love with a vampire. And you know it's against the law, so she killed them, both." He said. "And so they formed a treaty that
"It's so stupid of you to find a human, and ask her to help you." He said as he came face to face with me, his face looked weaker than before. I glared at him. "You know, her death is all your fault. You just got scared of me, and called a vampire hunter?" He laughed. "You just can't handle the responsibilities of an Alpha can you?" He said. "How did you know about her?" I asked. "Oh honey, I also know you can't change into a wolf." He said, smirking. "Who's helping you?" I asked through gritted teeth. "You really think I would tell you that? But I'll give you a hint for the sake of your stupidity , It's someone you trust dearly." He said, making a sad face. "Is it James?" He questioned as he moved towards Katherine. "Don't touch her!" I shouted. "Oh I don't touch filthy things, I only came here to take this." He said lifting up a vial with black liquid in it. "See you soon." He smiled as he vanished. I sighed. Someone was helping him. Someone I trust? Of Course it's not Ja
