SAVED BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA KING

Chapter 2

Struggling to stay alive, i held his hands, looking deep into his eyes, with hot tears rolling down my cheeks. My own father, the Alpha, who was supposed to be my protector, was trying to end my life, how miserable this was turning out. My dad showed no remorse for his ongoing actions, tightening his grips around my little neck and smiling with joy, revealed to me that my dad was long gone. This could not be my dad, what happened to my dad, who are you? Bring back my dad!

"What are you doing to my daughter, take your hands off my daughter you monster!" The voice of my mom sprang up as she tried to hit him, but my dad immediately held her neck with his left hand's, choking her again.

"How did I get the both of you, you both are totally useless." My dad said, throwing me to the ground gasping for breadth.

My inner self was itchy, as I wanted to go all out on him, but he is still my father after all, fighting him would be like bad, so I was thought. But what do I do in this situation, if I hold back, my dad could kill my mom, but if I fight him, I will be going against our culture.

I could feel weakness from withing me, eating me up and rendering me useless against my own self. It was like my morals were fading at this point. I watched as my mom kept on coughing and trying to free her self from his torture and my heart bled out it's last humor and in that moment, a great wind blew into my soul, igniting the fire in me and I noticed my claws were out, with furs rising all over. In an instant, I leaped to a stance and dashed at my father, pushing him so hard, taking him through the window and falling down outside the yard.

Like a one off thing, I quickly came back to myself and ran to my mother who was nearly dead. She looked pale and her eyes were void of life, moon goddess save my mommy.

"Mom are you okay?" I asked, making her rest on my shoulders.

Cecilia rushed in and let out a sigh immediately she saw that my mom was okay. She gave a quick smile, but it took me some time to smile back at her, I was hurt, and I could feel it.

"Your father, he left?" Cecilia asked.

"My dad was trying to kill my mom Cecilia. I had no option than to save my mom. So I pushed him out the window." I managed to explain, still feeling concerned about my mother.

"You did what?" Ceci asked, then she came running to look outside the broken window.

At first, I thought she let out a shocking gasp seeing how far my dad could have fell. But as soon as I heard her stammering my name, I knew something was wrong.

"What's wrong ceci? It just five stories, am sure he will survive the fall, stop acting like a baby." I said still looking at her.

"Mi...miss pella, your, your father is, is dead." Ceci stammered and I felt like dieng already.

I ran to the window immediately to confirm if what ceci had said what true. I saw my dad, hanging in a silver pipe stuck in the ground, the pipe bursting through his head and scattering his brains with blood all over his face. I felt great pain, great pain that I didn't know when I began to shed tears. I only wanted to help, I only wanted to help mom, dad. What have I done to myself, what have I done to the moon goddess to befall all this tragedy upon me?

"No, it can't be." I heard the voice of my mom.

Unable to control my tears, I ran to hug her, but she gave a hand signal, telling me to stop.

"No. Don't come any closer." My mom said and this broke my heart to much pieces.

"Mom! You know I didn't mean to do this, I love dad so much to do this on purpose." I cried like a baby trying to tell the truth.

My mom, slowly walked to the window and broke down in tears. What kind of sorrow have I made her fall into. What would people say, I turned my own mother into a widow, on my own birthday?

My mom cried for a few minute and stood up, now facing me with a serious face. Bruises all over her, complimenting her looks.

"You have to run Pella. You have to flee from here." My mom said and ceci looked at me in shock. My world was crumbling in her face.

"No mom, you know I can't do that. I really can't leave you, we will find a way, we will find a way to.."

"To keeo it a secret?!" I was still talking when my mom's voice countered mine.

"You killed your father, the alpha and you want to keep it a secret from the pack?" She sniffed in.

"Mom!." I yelled, feeling my heart ripping even more.

"They will come for you pella, nothing is hidden under the moon. You have to leave now, take ceci with you, and leave this kingdom, go far from here, to a place no one here will ever find you." She sniffed again, walking closer to me.

"No mom, I, I can't do that." I said, thinking how miserable our lives would be if I ever tried to do that.

"They will kill you pella, if the pack finds out you killed the alpha, they will kill and sacrifice you to the moon goddess. I don't want that to happen, I already lost one, I don't want to lose another." My mom said with tears in her eyes.

Those words made me cry inside, I was the cause of all this, now my life is ruined, all because I couldn't control myself.

"Miss pella. I don't know about you, but your mom is right. We have to go." Ceci spoke as she came forward holding my hands. I could see the tears in her eyes and the difference it made of her. I have never seen ceci cry, but because of my stupid actions, she was tonight.

I nodded in agreement to what she has said. My mom quickly gave us a Cloak, smuggled us out of the room, and out of the building. I tried to kiss her goodbye, but she instructed us to run, don't look back and never stop running until we leave the kingdom for good. In tears, I and ceci began to run, not looking back, until we were out of the kingdom and into the deep dark forest of Gwendore.

I sat on a stone, staring at the quarter moon, painfully questioning the moon goddess in my heart.

Why didn't she stop this?, why didn't she protect my dad? Was that how she hated me? Choosing to make my life a mess on my twentieth birthday?

I didn't know when I began to cry, but ceci was there to console me.

"Don't blame yourself miss pella. You did it to save your mom. Your dad would have killed her if you hadn't showed up." Ceci spoke like she truly meant it, which she truly did.

"I only wanted to save my mom, not kill my dad. I went all out. I deserved to be punished, I deserve to be tortured ceci. I feel like the world is writing me off it's pages, I feel like I am dieing slowly from the inside, ceci." Ceci staring at me as I narrated my feelings to her.

"It's okay miss pella, I understand you." Ceci said.

"Wait can you hear that?" Ceci whispered immediately.

As we both tried to listen, an arrow came flying right into the heart of ceci, dropping her down, weak. I rushed to her, seeing the arrow I recognized it immediately.

"Wolf hunters. Ceci we have to go now" I said, trying to lift her to her feet.

"I can't. Its coated in wolves poison, and it's burning my heart pella, you have to save yourself, go miss pella." Ceci begged.

"What! No! Not again, I can't live you here ceci, we have to pull through this together. Come on please, stay with me ceci."

"You, you don't have the knowledge to treat me Pella. I am going to accept this fate with honor. I am not afraid of death." Ceci said trying to act smart, but seeing that I didn't fall for it, she coughed and held me tight.

"If you won't do it for me, do it for mom. Be alive for mom." Ceci said, holding my face with a weak smile on her's. "It was nice knowing a noble like you, miss... Miss pella. Ti...till we...meet ag.... again." Those were her last words before she dropped dead.

"Ceci, please. No you can't just leave me here, I need you ceci, please, please don't go." I lamented loudly, squeezing and hugging her to myself, but nothing could bring my dead assistant back. She was gone, just like my dad.

"There she is." The wolf hunters came surrounding me, all holding different weapons, threatening me to go down or be killed.

I stood tall, pouring out the last tears I had in me. I dashed at the one in front of me and broke his neck, then seized the gun from the one behind me, blowing his brains out. I immediately took too heals as soon as I got a way, running as fast as my strength could take me, but it took me to a dead end.

In front of me was a cliff, and below was the river that signified as the boundary for Gwendore. If I jumped into it, I would be trespassing, but if I don't, I would get killed by these ruthless hunters. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and then, jumped off the cliff.
