Vengeance

Chapter 1

I begin to feel the pull of my body while  noises start to filter through. Nothing is clear and it sounds like I am hearing things through water. One noise though rises above the rest. 

Beep.

Beep.

Well that's one hella annoying sound, I think to myself. I begin to feel a presence close to me and I concentrate on trying to bring myself awake. My efforts are futile. I will have another crack at waking up in a little while, after i rest some more. 

"Shouldn't she be awake by now? Her body is healed! What is taking so long?" the sound of my twin brothers frustrated voice breaks through my sleep.

"Give her time son, We have done all we can. The rest is up to her." Dad sounds exhausted. I need to wake up and tell them I'm still here.

I feel someone grab my hand and rub circles on the back of it. "Come on Riley. it's time for you to wake up" encourages my brother.

"Easy for you to say. You weren't run over by a freight train" I croak out.

"RILEY!"

As my eyes flutter open I am greeted with a blindingly bright light right above me that makes me see spots. As me eyes adjust I see my stunningly handsome brother appear above me. He is 6"4, sun kissed skin and dirty blonde that has grown past his ears. With muscles for days and his piercing blue eyes that he got from our mother. God I missed that face. I smile at him as I stare into his eyes, the mirror of mine. Being twins you would expect us to look more alike but where he looks like mum, I look like me father. Nearly the complete opposite of my twin Zac. I am 5"8 with a slim build. Hair black as night that reaches my lower back and a fair complexion. Despite our polar opposite colouring, we both have the same piercing blue eyes and bone structure. High cheek bones, narrow nose and full lips.

"Thank god you are awake my baby girl". I look over to my father, Johnathan. One of the most handsome men I have ever seen. His green eyes are bloodshot and surrounded by dark circles. Even though he is well over 6 foot he is hunched over and looks as though he hasn't slept in a long time.

"How long?" I ask of them.

My brother and father glance at each other before answering me.

"You've been out for 9 weeks babygirl" my father sighs.

Well... could be worse I guess.

I gesture for the water on the side table. My father hands it to me and after taking a sip to sooth my throat I ask "what happened?"

"Our pack was caught off guard and was completely decimated' my brother explains in a low tone. "The rogues snuck in the territory. Only 20 of us survived. We found you with mum. We thought you were dead too but your heat beat was still there even though extremely faint. The pack doctor was one of the survivors and he treated you. Luckily we got to you in time. You were pretty badly cut up. You'll have the scars for the rest of your life."

I processed what my brother said... 20 survivors out of 480 pack members is heart breaking. Especially the loss of my mother. 

"Where are we?" I ask them.

"About 5 hours west of our pack. We have taken refuge with the Silver Claw pack." States my father.

"Alright... so what happens now?" I ask.

"Other than the doc, the other survivors are our warriors and my Beta Shaun. I have them spread out looking for the rogues behind the attack." explained my father.

"Are you sure that's wise?" I asked him. "Shouldn't we stick together?"

"Probably not but they volunteered for the job. We all lost a lot that day and we want vengeance" says dad.

I look over at my brother who has been silent during this conversation. He looks as heartbroken as I feel. As future alpha it's cripling to have you pack wiped out like that. "How did you survive?" I asked the both of them.

"Dad pulled me out. I was outnumbered and he came in and annihilated the rogues surrounding me..." my brother started to say.

"I realised we were not going to win this battle and Alpha ordered the survivors to leave and re-group. The rogues tried to follow us but we managed to lose them once we crossed the river that runs outside our territory." My father cut off my brother.

"So what happens now? With us?" I say.

"We relocate, we heal and we continue with our lives. Change our names and identities in case they are still looking for us and build back our pack." says my father with determination.

Well shit... no pressure dad.
