“Those aren’t my men Angel look, listen to me your mother and Lord Perry had a child both of you are the last line of the goddess bloodline the crown is back and they want your blood” he says in rag breath.
“My blood? Why?” I am confused.
What the hell will the crown want from my clan?
Which child does he speak of?
Who the hell is this child Aitch is speaking about?
“The serum you have the ability to stop this…something bad is…” Another shot is fired into Aitch’s head.
“Ahhh!” I scream pushing back the horrific sight making me gag.
The shooter was standing right above me but he walks away when he’s far enough I attempt to leave my body juddering.
Tears pool from my eyes as I try to step away from Aitch’s body parts walking back to Jaden’s side.
I noticed a card with the number 3??on it.
Squeezing It in my palm I touch Jaden feeling a pulse I can’t carry him back alone.
Searching his pocket I picked up his phone swiping to the Emergency phone call.
I dial the pack hospital emergency line.
“Hello you’ve reached the hospital what’s your emergency”
“Alpha Jaden Perry is down, we need help urgently!”
“Where are you?”
“I don’t know ” I cry.
“Stay calm citizen, this mobile will be tracked to your location”
I toss the phone aside as I find a sharp glass cutting my skin.
I pour droplets of my blood on Jaden’s tongue.
He coughs hard but doesn’t open his eyes.
Looking around the bloody mess
fear evokes me as I realize the crown was behind all of this.
A while later, an ambulance flared in the distance.
They walk in and grab a stretcher pulling Jaden on it.
“Hailey Stewarts, you have to be taken into custody ” one of the guards’ states.
“Why?” I ask, hugging my hands around myself.
“Just to give your statement and to make sure the life of the Alpha is safe”
I walk away with him as they investigate the scene knowing well the life of the entire lycanthrope bloodline is in danger.
They locked me up in a cell not believing my story of a mystery shooter and a man as weak as Aitch hurting Alpha Jaden.
For hours I’ve been in this cage reliving those last moments when Aitch said Lory Perry and my mother had a child.
Who was this child and what the hell had happened to Aitch?
What serum did he speak of that my blood was so important?
Is it possible the crown knows something I don’t about my family’s bloodline?
It possibly makes sense why my mother had been kept alive and still doesn’t make sense at the same time.
What the hell did this number ‘3’ mean? I’d been staring at it for a while, flipping it, scratching the surface for a secret note, anything but it was just a letter.
I should just let it go and throw it in the trash but I have a feeling it’s more than a number.
The cell is opened by a guard.
“You are allowed to leave, someone is seeking your attention” he says stepping aside so I’ll walk through.
“Where’s Jaden Perry?” I ask but he stays mute staring straight ahead with unblinking eyes.
I know Jaden is still alive but I am still worried he had taken a bad beating
“Take a left” the guard’s stated, reminding me someone wanted to see me. I walk down the corridor taking the stairs to the main room.
The whole pack house felt dead everywhere still, everyone moved slowly like they were grieving.
“Angel” Someone I never thought I’d meet again calls. I would have been happy if not for the trouble on his face and his bloody look.
“Ride, what’s wrong?”
“Can we talk somewhere private”
I nod the guard peering at us suspiciously as lead him to Jaden’s room.
“Oh, Angel ” He pulls me in a hug clinging on to me shaking.
“What’s wrong?” How the hell did he know how to find me? Another question I wanted to ask later.
“The Badlands have been wiped off” He says in astonishment.
“What do you mean wiped off?”
“Angel everyone is dead Sal, Tyler, Pearl, Roddy, Jake, everyone the house had been burned in flames the gates sealed”, Ride explains, looking at the space and recalling the dreadful moment.
“It happened so fast we were under attack a battle that was planned wisely these beasts were hard to kill they were hardly much but they killed everyone,
It’s a miracle I survived Angel, I was tossed out the house just in time as they lit the house and corpses on fire everyone is dead Angel everyone in it” Ride states my heart breaking as I slump to the ground.
I haven’t been around long enough to build a personal relationship with any of them but it was enough to make my heart bleed.
What the hell is happening?
Why are these tragic events happening?
Ride slumps down with me
wrapping his arms around me as we sit in silence.
“I’ve been trying to track Aitch for a while but seems like he has disappeared abandoning us”
I sob harder in his chest.
“Aitch is dead, Ride he was murdered in front of me.”
“Oh” Ride remarks sadly.
