Born to Kill

"Can I take the blind fold off now!?", I whined for the fifth time.     My brother had come to my room earlier and insisted that I put a blind fold on before I could leave my room. I kept nagging him until he finally snapped in frustration. "Jesus Ella, what are you? Four? Be patient! We're almost there anyway.", he grumbled.     After what seemed like forever, I was finally forced to a stop. I heard a door open before being ushered, yet again, forward. I gasped as the sting of autumn air hit my bare skin. I heard whispering around me before silence filled my ears. "Trev? Why are we outside?", I asked in confusion. "Guess you'll have to see.", he snickered.     I scrunched my eyes shut as the blind fold was removed from my eyes and bright lights hit me. I couldn't contain my squeal of excitement as I saw all my friends and family before me. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"     I gazed around in awe as my parents stepped from the crowd. I rushed forward and enveloped them in hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love it!" I screamed. "Happy Birthday Pumpkin.", my dad said while kissing my head. My mom gave me a kiss on the cheek before pulling away. "Go enjoy your party sweetie."     I looked around at the crowd of people trying to find my best friend before finally spotting her on the other side of the dance floor. I quickly ran over to her and pretty much tackled her as she turned and met me head on. We bounced up and down squealing in happiness before finally breaking apart.  "Hey Birthday b***h!", she sassed. "Hope you're ready to party!"     We both giggled before grabbing some glasses and grabbing a nearby table. About half an hour in, we were each pointing out guys we wished we could f**k before Abby tugged on my hair gently. She motioned down under the table, pulling out a bright colored bag. I quickly grabbed it and couldn't help my gasp of shock. "Abs, I can't believe you got alcohol in here!", I gasped. She started laughing hysterically before grabbing the bottle and pouring it into my glass of punch . As she finished pouring hers, we raised our glasses, effectively clashing our drinks and downing them just as fast they were poured . It wasn't long until we were both just a little too tipsy. "Heads up Queen Bee, douche alert heading this way.", Abby growled in annoyance.     I looked in the direction she was glaring at and couldn't help my groan of annoyance. It was none other than Alpha Darius, the new alpha of the Harvest Moon Pack. He was as arrogant as they come and believed every girl wanted him. Well everyone, except me and Abby. I looked away from him as he approached our table, clearing his throat. "Good evening, Luna Isabella, Gamma Abigail.", Darius bowed his head slightly. "Luna, I was wondering if I could ask you for a dance?"     I groaned to myself silently before standing up from my chair. I swayed slightly before recovering my balance. Due to the fact that he was an alpha, I had no choice but to accept his offer. I sent a pleading glance towards Abby, who all but snickered at my discomfort.  "Have fun, Luunnaaa.", Abby slurred.     Alpha Darius escorted me towards the center of the dance floor. His arm was securely wrapped around my waist as he pulled me close to him. As we swayed to the music, I felt his hot breath tickle my ear. "So Luna....have you found your mate yet?", he asked huskily. "No....I don't know if you have noticed, but I just turned 18 dumbass.", I growled.  "Now, now. No need to get angry, I was just asking. I just figured, since I haven't found my mate yet, that maybe you would consider a chosen mate?", he asked.     With that, I felt his breath on my neck right before his lips pressed against my neck. I tried to pull away, but his hand clasped onto my ass cheek, effectively pulling me closer to him as he continued to suck on my neck. I pulled my free hand back and shoved him roughly away before punching him in the nose. Blood sprayed everywhere as he leapt back yelling. "You crazy b***h! Have you lost your f*****g mind!"     I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt before punching him again. He crashed to the floor as other people jumped away in shock. Darius laid on the ground wailing in pain as I stood over him in anger. "Don't you ever do that again! Do you f*****g understand me!?", I screamed.     My parents rushed over, pulling me away from the screaming alpha. My mother held me back in shock as I fought against her to try and hit Darius again. WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE!?", my father roared.     Darius pushed himself off the floor and glared at my father in rage. "That b***h of daughter of yours punched me in the face! All because I asked her to dance!" "You lying son of a b***h!," I screamed in rage. I stepped around my mother and stalked towards Darius. Before I could go much farther, my father intercepted me.  "Isabella, what is going on?", my father asked concerned. "This sleeze bag," I jabbed my finger towards Darius, "Asked me to be his chosen mate! Then he proceeded to bite my neck! When I tried to pull away this son of a b***h grabbed my ass and tried to mark me!" I screeched.     My father's eyes turned black in anger as he turned towards Darius. He stalked towards the other alpha and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. I stared in shock as I watched my father lift Darius mere feet off the ground in rage. Darius grabbed at my dad's hand desperately as he tried to fight for air. "DON'T. EVER. TOUCH. MY. DAUGHTER. AGAIN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?", my father roared.     Darius nodded his head before my father dropped him onto the ground. As he lied there gasping for breath, my father looked around at all the people gathered around the dance floor.  "Make this known! That Alpha Darius is no longer welcomed to my pack. From this day forward, The Harvest Moon Pack will be considered an enemy of Blue Moon and is no longer welcomed on our lands!" My father turned to the gasping alpha in anger. "Alpha Darius, you are hereby banished from coming on to my land. You have 10 minutes to get off my land before my warriors rip your throat out!"     Darius quickly stood up and glared daggers at my father. "I will tell my father what you did Alpha Reynolds! Consider this alliance done for!" He quickly stalked away towards the parking lot. It wasn't long after that my father looked at the crowd again. "I apologize everyone, please enjoy the party.", my father turned towards me, concern shadowed his blue eyes as he approached me.  "Princess, are you okay?" "Yes dad, I'm sorry. I didn't mean too. But I didn't know what else to do." I talked quickly, trying to calm my anxiety. "Sweetie it's okay, I'm actually proud of you." "Wait what?", I asked in confusion. "Ella, you defended yourself from a horndog. I couldn't be prouder of my future warrior." He beamed proudly.     I smiled happily before excusing myself and walking back to Abby. As I got closer to her, she stood up and handed me a drink.  "Girl, I can't believe you decked in alpha in the face! And Darius of all people! Girl you're on fire!", she rambled. We went back to our table and sat down before pouring another drink. "I just can't believe him! Who the f**k does he think he is? Just because....", I froze suddenly.     The music suddenly stopped. Me and Abby stood up as everybody stood in place. Suddenly a warrior burst through the back door and ran up to my father. "ALPHA! ALPHA DARIUS'S PACK HAS CROSSED THE BORDERS! THEY'VE ALREADY ATTACKED THE BORDER GUARDS AND ARE HEADING THIS WAY!" "WOMEN AND CHILDREN, GO TO THE SAFE BUNKERS NOW! WARRIORS ASSEMBLE THE REST OF THE PACK!", my father shouted out orders left and right. Before anybody could move wolves flooded in to the yard. Screams filled the air as wolves attacked the people on the dance floor. I stared in shock as blood filled the air of the once joyous party. Suddenly my parents were racing towards me, they were both covered in blood as they frantically grabbed me.  "Mom, Dad, what's going on? Why is he attacking us?", I asked in shock and fear. "Sweetie you and Abigail need to run. Get as far away from here as possible.", my dad begged. "Dad, I can't leave y'all please let me help.", I pleaded. "Isabella, please go. Go to the nearest pack. We will send for you once it's safe but please go. Run and run quick."     My mother and father both kissed me and hugged me tightly. "We love you so much sweetheart." Before I could respond back a huge wolf jumped in front of us baring its teeth. My parents both shifted before standing in front of us in a protective stance. The wolf snapped its teeth aggressively before lunging at my father. My mother looked at me pleadingly before her mind link came through. Please Ella, run!  Her voice yelled in my head. I looked at her in fear, tears pooling in my eyes before Abby grabbed my hand and pulled me away. "Ell, we gotta go!", Abby pleaded.     With one last glance back I couldn't hold back my scream as I watched a wolf attack my mom and pull her down. My father looked in my direction and followed my gazed before leaping towards the wolf that was attacking my mother. Before I could watch much longer, I was yanked towards the woods. Abby and I both stumbled into the woods before racing through the forest. We dodged around trees and fallen branches, the sounds of battle echoing through the silence. The thundering sound of paws racing towards us grew louder as we kept running. I looked behind me and gasped in fear as a large wolf started to close the distance between us.      Before I could defend myself, Abby crashed into the wolf, effectively knocking him to the ground. I stopped in my tracks, turning and racing back to help. Before I could make it to her, she stood up and stared at me in fear. "ELLA RUN! DON'T STOP PLEASE GO I'LL BE OK!" she pleaded.     I nodded my head before turning back and racing through the woods. I had to fight back my sob as I heard Abby's screams of pain pierced the air. Eventually the sound of paws died away as I kept running. I didn't know how far I had ran until I was knocked onto the ground. A gray wolf pinned me into the dead leaves, snarling viciously. As its jaws snapped towards my throat, the weight suddenly vanished. I stared up in shock as a large black and white wolf stood staring at me. I couldn't help but stare into his silver eyes as he stared at me in what seemed like a pleading manner. Before I could ask him any questions, the sounds of howling cut through the air. His head whipped towards the darkest part of the woods, before looking back at me. As I stood up, he raced back into the woods.     As the howling got louder, I pushed my legs to keep going. The woods started to thin out as I crossed into another territory. More howling grew louder before I was suddenly surrounded by more wolves. A large wolf walked into the circle and shifted in front of me. "Who are you? Do you realize that you have crossed into Rushing River Pack?"     I stared at the alpha in shock before dropping to my knees in tears. I had finally made it into Rushing River and the reality of everything finally hit. The alpha knelt in front of me and looked at me in concern until shock filled his eyes. "Isabella? By the Goddess, what are you doing here? Where are your parents?" he asked in concern.     I leapt towards him and wrapped my arms around his neck sobbing loudly. "Uncle Richard, they're gone they're all gone."  "What do you mean Isabella? Who's gone?", he asked worriedly. "My pack," I sobbed. "Alpha Darius attacked our pack after my father broke the alliance between us and banished him from our territory. He ordered his pack to attack us! My parents told me to come find you. Please you have to help them." I begged him.     He stood up abruptly, and faced his warriors. "Beta, gather all the warriors and go to Harvest Moon. Aide their warriors and bring the survivors here." He turned back to me and helped me up off the ground. "Come with me Izzy, your aunt is waiting for you back at the packhouse."     I was quickly ushered back to their packhouse. I glanced over my shoulder one last time towards the direction of my pack. Please Goddess, please protect them.
