April

flashback

"Mommy! Mommy, look I drew you a picture!" I giggled running to my mom.

"Aw, June-bug it's beautiful! I love it so much, thank you baby." mom said hugging me, kissing my head.

"Luna Avery, April!, Rogues, get inside!" a warrior wolf yelled nearing us.

I held onto my mom's hand, only to get it ripped from my grasp as a rogue attacked her.

"Daddy! Help!" I yelled once I saw my father standing near by.

I watched in fear as my father just watched her get ripped apart, as I begin to bawl, my father just laughed.

I jumped awake screaming trying to sit up but was welcomed with a chest and a cooing voice.

"Hey hey, it's okay it's just a dream calm down slow breathes, it's going to be alright April. I promise you honey." Alpha Taylor said in a cooing tone.

I hugged him so tight I started to have a panic attack, what's wrong with me? Every time I sleep I always dream about my mother. Why can't I just get it to stop! Maybe death will be better then constantly having these dreams.

"Hey, I said slow breathes not quicker ones. Calm down baby, it's going to be perfectly fine I promise." he said rubbing my back leaving sparks behind his touch.

I stared at him for a good three minutes breathing heavier as he rubbed my back, then the door burst open and in walked Deacon, oh good someone I trust.

"April you're up. Wait, what's wrong?" Deacon said stopping in his tracks looking at me with confusion, or maybe it was worry?

I looked at him as my breathing got heavier and quicker, Taylor's grip on me got loser and he grabbed my hands squeezing them.

"April honey you need to calm down." Deacon said rushing to the side of the bed, "Taylor why is she panicking? What'd you do?"

I gripped his hand hearing a faint growl from Taylor. God why is he growling!

"Taylor! Let her go, give me the girl! Now, you're only making things worse for her!" Deacon growled softly pulling on my arms.

'A-april...' my wolf whispered.

I looked at Taylor whimpering between my raspy breathing, on cue he looked up into my eyes, and tried to steal me back from Deacon who only held on tighter. I whined louder making Taylor slap Deacon and snatch me into his arms.

"Taylor?" Deacon whispered, rubbing his face watching Taylor rub my back whispering the lyrics to Hallelujah.

"Shh." Taylor said hushing him.

It went silent all I could hear was his singing, my breathing and my wolf whining. I really pray to Goddess Taylor isn't my mate. To have the most ruthless, killing Alpha of the states as my mate is kind of scary. Plus, Rick is my mate. There's no such thing as a second mate.

'Do you have any idea how scary it would be if Taylor was our mate April? But we would be protected at all costs. And they have food here, even if he isn't our mate it would be fabulous to be safe.'

'I guess you're right Ava, but he's the worlds scariest Alpha that our pack could ever talk about. I'm scared Ava, can't we just leave? I don't like the way he looks at me. Plus I'm not even in my own clothes.' I said pulling at the shirt on my tiny body.

'I know April, but we're safe here. Derek can't hurt us if we're here because of how he looks at you. Just think of it like that, okay?'

Sighing I crawled under the covers putting my back to Taylor, and closed my eyes.
