FATE REDEMPTION

PROLOGUE

Nine-years old, Lucy was playing with Blake, who was the same age as her, in the garden when both started hearing noises from outside. Lucy and Blake rushed out to see what was happening along with Mrs. Sophia. Outside stood Alpha Marcus with Lucy's father, and in front of them stood a man with a pistol in his hand. They were arguing about something.

Lucy stood frozen with widened eyes as the man pointed the pistol toward Alpha Marcus and pulled the trigger; Lucy's father came in front of the Alpha and fell on the floor with a thud; the sound of a gunshot echoed, and blood splattered around as the bullet penetrated through his body.

A nine-year-old girl saw her father get shot with her own eyes. Lucy lost her mother when her mother was giving birth to her; now, at such a young age, she lost the only person she had.

Blake's mother put a hand on Lucy's eyes and pulled her inside; tears started streaming down her face, and she refused to go inside. Blake's mother pulled her gently and took her inside the palace.

Lucy was sitting on the stairs and crying her heart out with her face in her hands when she heard some footsteps approaching her. Blake found her there; he sat beside her and gave her his shoulder to cry on. As Blake consoled her, some tears rolled down his cheek too.

"Don't cry; I am here. I am here for you, forever," assured Blake, cupping Lucy's face with his hands, making her look at him. Lucy looked at him with her blurry eyes and wet lashes and sniffed. She said nothing.

Both of them got up, Blake entwined his little hand with hers, and they went into Blake's bedroom.

At dinner time, Lucy hid behind the curtains and eavesdropped on the conversation.

"We should adopt her," said Alpha Marcus.

"But she belongs to Omega wolves, she is our servant how can we?" objected Mrs. Sophia.

"Her ancestors have been loyal for centuries and her father died while saving me," said Alpha Marcus. "She has no one in this world except for us."

Little Blake came running and hugged his father, his head touching his father's stomach. Alpha Marcus put his hand on Blake's hair.

"Dad is Lucy going to live with us?" asked Blake, and he looked up at his father with his big grey eyes.

"Yes, son, she is," confirmed Alpha Marcus and smiled as he said. Alpha Marcus's eyes flicked to Lucy, who was hidden behind a curtain. He gestured to her to come out, and Lucy came out while looking down. Alpha Marcus put his hand on Lucy's head and smiled at her.

"Welcome home, sweetie," welcomed Alpha Marcus.
