Having Faith

Chapter 2

CARTER’S POV

 “My name is Carter, me and my three brothers here are from a pack called the Wacassassa Wolves, our pack lives deep in the Rocky Mountains we are in fact werewolves.  Faith I don’t expect you to believe everything I am telling you but know this, we”.  He pointed at himself and his brothers. “Have been searching for you for a very long time.  Many years ago our pack was at war with another pack, the Red Blood pack and to be honest it started over territory.  But as the war kept raging on it became more violent and deadly, During this time a baby girl was born to the Beta of our pack, she was his youngest child and the only girl her name was Christy.  So you can imagine the amount joy and love she would bring to her parents and older brothers, she was spoiled rotten.” he smiled remembering being an 8 year old boy holding his baby sister for the first time not long after she was born. 

Yep that’s right the intruders are Faith’s older brothers, a secret Carter is not ready expose just yet.  His sister seems to be a little high spirited and a temper to match, yea keeping it a secret for now is the best decision, Carter is not ready to die just yet.   He’s already feeling bad for scaring her and I’m sure the triplets, Chris, Chance, and Carl, feel just at bad.  

“When Christy was 8 months old, our Pack was attacked by the Red Bloods, and even though we won the battle and killed their Alpha, we lost many packs members including Beta Carlisle and his wife Charlotte, but Christy was never found.”

“What about her brothers” Faith asked.

“Fortunately they were safe” Even though Faith had no idea who they were he was happy she worried about them, maybe when the time came to tell their secret, she would forgive them easily. God he hoped so. “The pact searched for days and weeks only to lose her scent in Florida.”

Carter watched as Faith’s face went from confusion to shock, her eyes looking back and forth to him and her parents.  But he knew she was starting to understand.

“I’m Christy, aren’t I” she asked quietly.

With sad eyes Carter nodded his head yes.  Even though he has nothing but hate for Mike and Sharon for what they did, he also knew Faith’s world as she knew it was crumbling in to pieces.  The hurt in her eyes and betrayal on her face, broke his heart.  All he wanted to was comfort her, tell her how much she was missed and loved by them. That they never gave up searching even when  Alpha Jacob refused them to do so.

“How did you find me”

“Well when we won the war, our pack became one of the strongest packs here in North America, we have many allies now, without knowing it Mike here went to one of our allies to try and get them to accept y’all into their pack. That meeting didn’t go as planned, at least from I heard.”  Looking at Mike, Carter continued “Your lucky you got out with a black eye and busted lip and not a casket, asshole”.

“SHUT UP” screamed Mike.

Carter wasn’t sure how it happened but one minute Mike was sitting on the couch next to his wife and the next he was holding a gun, grabbed Faith and had the gun pointing at her temple.

“Put the guns down, all of you” Mike hollered.

“Daddy what are you doing?”

“ Now, Now Mike lets not be hasty” Carter said in the most calming voice he could muster.  But inside he was ready to kill the motherfucker.  He was not going to take his baby sister away from them again and certainly not to her death, Carter and the triplets would die first before they would allow that to happen.  Only one person was dying today. Mike’s number was up.

FAITH’S POV

What in the hell does my father think he is doing, not only am I in shock with the new information I just received but my own father is holding a gun to my head, and not at all in his right mind.

“No, you need to shut the f**k up, it was your Beta that killed our boy, we only took what he took from us.” Said Mike.

I start trying to pull on his arm that is wrapped around my chest, but he’s too strong.  The whole time my father is speaking, I’m actually trying to plead with Carter with my eyes to help me.

Good God what has my world come to that I am scared of my father and silently begging a wolf criminal to have mercy on me and help.

“Your son couldn’t keep his d**k in his pants and decided to rape and murder one of our own, so don’t give me that eye for an eye bullshit, he deserved to die, and if you don’t take your hands off of her right now you and your wife will be joining him in hell”. Said Carter in a calming but deadly voice.

The gun is pressing harder and harder on my temple to the point its starting to give me a bad headache.  It was in that moment that I noticed that one of Carters brothers was not standing behind him, but in fact standing behind my father with his gun pointing at my fathers head.

“I would let her go if I would you” said Carter. 

In an instant my father pushed me towards Carter and what happened next would change my world forever.

It all seemed to happen in slow motion, but in reality it all happened so fast. My father pointed the gun at my mother and shot her once in head then put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

“NOOOOO” I screamed running towards them, but was stopped when Carter wrapped his arm around my waist.

Dropping to the ground I screamed till my voice became sore and my tears burned my eyes.  I’m not sure how long me and Carter stayed on the ground, it was probably only a few minutes, but felt like hours to me. 

I could feel Carter rocking me, telling me everything was gonna be ok that they would never lose me again. I’m not sure what he meant, but in that moment I didn’t feel so alone anymore.

It wasn’t long before Carter had me getting up and walking outside to a parked SUV.  He kept telling me we needed to leave before the cops showed up. I had so many questions, that I hoped Carter could answer for me. 

Everything was hazy when I got in to the SUV, I’m not sure what made me leave willing with the four of them.  Maybe it was the fact that my life was a complete and totally lie. Or maybe I was so pissed at my parents for taking me away from my real parents and my brothers. I was curious to know where I came from.  I never felt like I was different, up until recently I had a great childhood, I just couldn’t believe they would kidnap me from another family, a wolf family to be exact.  Does that mean I’m a? Oh s**t I’m a f*****g werewolf.  That was the last thought in my head before exhaustion took over and I fell asleep.

POV STONE BROTHERS

"Dammit man, I didn't see that coming" said Carl once he realized Faith had fell asleep. Then he turned towards Chris who was sitting next to him and slapped him across the head. The fucker deserved it.  

"What the hell bro." Chris quietly yelled.

"That's for pointing a gun at her head and threatening to kill her, you asshole, that's our baby sister." 

The SUV swerved slightly when Carter who was driving looked back at Chris "You did what" he asked angrily.

Then Chance turned around in the passenger seat reached over and punched Chris in the leg "Fucker" was all he said.

"Jesus y'all, Carter you said it had to look real until you were able to tell her who she was, I was just playing along". Damn Chris felt like hell, he wasn't actually gonna hurt her.  He was just doing what Carter asked, like always maybe he went too far he thought, then he hung his head in shame.  " I'm sorry" he said with a whisper.

"It's not us you need to be apologizing to, it's Faith and you better hope she forgives you" Carter said.

 After a few moments Chance said " Why didn't you tell her who we are?"

"Because she wouldn't have come with us, I seen the way her eyes lit up when I mentioned she had brothers, if we would have told her then, I'm not so sure she would have forgave us and then she might have refused to come home with us. We will tell her soon but not before we get back to the pack were she belongs."

The triplets all three nodded in agreement.  

Each brother looked at their at sleeping baby sister.  Eighteen years was a long time to be away from her, after the loss of their parents and Christy's kidnapping they never felt complete, until right now, their family was complete.  They all hoped and prayed it stayed that way.
