Warning book contains mature content "Daddy, how did you find me" I whine while my father crouches finding me under his desk. "I'll always find you, my little blue" he smiles at me, pulling me out from my hiding spot. "Time for our picnic!" mum shouts walking into daddy's office, with baby Isaac in her arms. "yay! are you coming daddy" I shout while running to mummy's side. "no, blue, I have a meeting with a king, but I'll come play after" father says sitting at his desk. "but you are the king daddy" I try to question him more, but mummy drags me out gently pulling my hand. Her big swollen belly hiding daddy from view, we go for our picnic. We ate our lunch and played in the grass and tress, at the courtyard within the palace. When daddy finally came down with uncle Marcus and some strange men. “Stay here baby” mummy says so I keep playing with baby Isaac, while mummy and daddy both talk to the men. Suddenly I hear mummy scream, and daddy is shouting. I grab baby Isaac and I look up to see a man holding something around mummy's neck, while daddy's shouting. then mummy and daddy both drop to the floor and there’s a man with a scary smile approaching Isaac and me. "Run Lyla" daddy shouts in my direction. Daddy never uses my name, so I know this is serious. As I turn, baby Isaac is ripped from my arms. And drops to the floor completely still, I see lots of blood on him. "Lyla run!" daddy shouts again. the man keeps coming for me and I feel his hand on my back as I try and run away from his grip, spinning and taking off. I go through the corridors and burst outside the palace doors. All I can see is fighting and fire, the sounds of men, women and children screaming hurts my ears. Covering them I turn right and run into the woods heading south. Daddy takes me on walks all around the grounds, telling me about the land and what is in each direction. So I know the woods are thick on this side with many hiding spots. A loud growl makes me stop and turn, and a big dog jumps at me "ahhhhh" I wake up hyperventilating "fk" I curse under breath, rubbing my eyes. I Rolled out of bed and go to the only thing I know will help calm me, the shower. Boiling water pours over my skin, the steam helping my breathing slow down. Once I'm calm, I'm able to focus on the shower, cleaning my skin and long hair. I know the dream didn't come from me, rather it came from Lilith. She relives that memory, because she feels guilty she wasn't around then, to protect me or our family. I know she will ignore me for a while now, her pride won't let me comfort her. Instead heading to my wardrobe I put on my favourite black leggings, sports bra and jacket. Walking out of my room I slip on my combat boots and head to the common room for breakfast. While going down the stairs I tie my long dark brown hair, into a high pony tail. "Strong Coffee, with scrambled eggs and bacon on toast. just the way you like it" Rose says, placing a plate and cup down at my empty seat. Her short crimson is hair pulled back into a cute little pony and she's wearing one of her many summer dresses. She has beautiful chocolate coloured eyes and dimples in her cheeks, when she smiles. "Just what I need Rose thankyou" I practically pounced into my chair to eat. She just smiles as she watches me swiftly empty my plate. Rose and her mate John were the alpha and Luna here. They then passed down their titles to their son Jackson on his 20th birthday, when he found his mate Samantha 10 years ago. You'd think I would hate wolves after what happened but John and Rose are different. Rose saved my life that night and carried me all the way here. She nursed me back to health and cared for me, I could never repay her for that. "Wow, slow down sis" Jackson says while ruffling my hair and sitting next to me. Jackson is a typical brother he even glares and growls at guys who check me out or flirt. "Can't be late for training bro" I say punching him in the shoulder running out laughing. I get to the field first and run laps for a while and some stretches. By the time I'm done everyone's there and pairing up for sparing and as usual no one picks me. it's not because they don't like me, they just don't want to be their a$$es beat by a girl. As far as wolf's go they're all strong and fast, the higher rankers even more so but, because of what I am, I'm even stronger and faster then them. They think it's because I'm an Alpha's daughter from a nearby pack that was destroyed 20 years ago, not long before my people were. But because Rose rescued me only her and the John know what I am. No one else will ever know, as my people were demonised back then and everyone hated my kind. I care about this pack they took me in after all, I don't want anyone to be scared of me. "Oi kid, you going to spar or just stand there with your head in the clouds" turning I see John looking at me questioningly. He has light brown and grey hair, with bright green eyes. He is a lot taller then me, he stands at 6’2 while compared to him, I’m 5’5. He wasn't happy when rose saved me and brought me here, but she believed children to be innocent victims. I remember hearing them argue over me and John avoided me at all costs. After a while I would sneak to his training sessions, I was so captivated by the way they moved. I would copy them practising on my own under the bleachers. One day he found me and sent me away, but I kept coming day after day. Eventually he would watch me rather then send me away, it wasn’t long before he started correcting my form. From that day on he let me train on the field, he told Rose, it was because he didn't want me to hurt myself. She never believed him though Rose told me that he is a big softie on the inside, and that they had always wanted a daughter. She also said he used to do the same thing as a pup, and so I had caught his heart. I didn’t believe her at first, but I often caught him smiling at me when I got something right. "Hey old man, you find me someone to spar with, then yea I'll join in" I say earning myself a c*cky smile from him. it's too late though, I just signed myself up for a three on one. John called over a sparing pair and all three of them stood around me, in fighting stances. Well at least I'll get a good work out. The soldier behind me rushes me and put his arm around my neck in a choke hold. I grabbed his shoulders and kicked my legs up higher then my head. My downward momentum and pulling strength, sent him over my head, into the other soldier. there was no time to celebrate though John sent a fist to my face that I only just managed to dodge while throwing my leg out under his extended arm knocking him to the ground. now the soldiers were up coming for me. This went on for thirty minutes before both the soldiers yielded. John as expected, was still standing swapping blows, I landed way more then he did. He was a fighter, never giving up, in a real battle he would have been defeated, countless times by now. Instead I bait him with a high punch off centre leaving my side open for a kick, I know he saw it. Halfway through my punch, when he started to duck, I retreated my hand and caught his leg. While kicking the other out from under him, slamming him to the ground hard. I knew he would be winded and instead of getting up he lay there laughing. "You cheeky s*it" he bellowed. "You are the one who feel for it not me old man" I commented earning another laugh. I helped him up and he sent me off to spar with another group. later I checked on the newer trainees offering tips and pointers as needed. John said that with me here, his people work harder to get to my level. And that’s what made us one of the strongest packs around, because our warriors were hard to defeat. When John had business I was the one who taught the training sessions and John was always impressed with their improvement. I headed to my room to shower yet again before lunch. Putting on black jeans, a fitted long sleeve maroon top and comfortable flats. I left my dark hair down letting it dry naturally into soft waves. lastly my signature long delicate chain wrapped around my waist many times. Only john knows why I wear it and it's significance to me. Around my 16th birthday he went to my old home to try and find a gift for me, that would mean a lot. He found the chain in a wooden box with my name on it, in my fathers old office. It’s a rare indestructible lightweight metal, not even I could break it. Walking into the buffet lunch I filled my plate and sat down next to Rose and we ate together. We sat in silence as we watched warriors return from training for food. Everyone is loud and laughing, the atmosphere was happy and comfortable. Then Eddie walked past our table winking at me, making Rose laugh. I just rolled my eyes, Eddie is my brothers gamma. He has always flirted with me since I was fifteen, Jackson never liked it. Just seeing him makes me dread tomorrow, I have to work with both Eddie and Jackson. As beta Michael is away visiting at a nearby pack that was attacked by vampires last night and won’t return until the day after. Jackson sent his beta and 9 other warriors to help fight them off, there were over 50. Our warriors are impressive, they were ones I had mostly trained myself. they disposed of the vamps quickly, so I am filling in for him tomorrow. While Rose and Samantha are planning a party for his return, because found his mate while he was there. Out of the corner of my eye, Eddie is still staring at me. While many of the guys here called me beautiful, for me it was painful to look in a mirror. I'm almost identical to what my mum looked like, although I got my curls and smile from my dad. My eyes are like a liquid royal blue, just like my mom's, but they're a painful reminder of the nickname my father gave me, when I was little. I spent the rest of the day in the games room with Jackson and his friends. I never really made any, all the girls here are prissy and we just don't click. Eddie was groaning over Michael finding his mate he didn’t want to be the only bachelor in their friend group. He always said they’re all pu$$y whipped, but i can tell it comes from jealousy. We joked all night swapping between video games, pool and drinking games. By the time I got to my room it was passed midnight. Flicking on the light I leaned on the back of my door, I felt woozy looking around my room at the midnight blue walls. I go to my wardrobe and changed into some night clothes. I wondered out to my four poster bed banging my knee on the blanket box at the end."fk" I whispered and after staggering a little I crashed into my bed sliding under the covers.
