Chapter 6

•AMITH•

He tearing the floor apart he’s getting too close to the girl's room. I never thought the day would come that I would have to battle Amir for control.

I need to stop him

*Moments before*

•XOILA•

“We’ve lost 6 pack members... The old alpha was one of them”

I gasped in shock hearing a soft thud, I turned saw as Stacy had fallen to the ground clutching her chest withering in pain. I knelt down taking her in my arms pulling her up resting her head on my chest.

I started to gently run a hand over her hair to try and soothe the pain she was feeling as my vision blurred and I felt a tears fall down my face. I looked up at Fae hearing her say “ The alphas charging in” her eyes glowing gold as she slipped into the mind of the alpha.

I continued to sooth Stacy’s from the pain she was feeling then Fae continued reciting what she was seeing in her trance-like state “a dirty looking rogue with blood-covered brown fur came charging at the Alpha (based on his size he was a beta). The alpha’s charging” Sometimes it's hard for Fae to communicate when she’s in this state “He knocked the rouge off his paws into a tree”

'One point for Dad'

he didn't know I had finally decided to call him dad. He had been pestering Stacy every day for the last 2 years because Amir had decided to accept me as his pup and would get mad when I called them Alpha.

FLASHBACK

"Xoila I don't know why you just don't give in," Stacy said letting out an exasperated sigh as she flopped on the bed after changing into her PJs on the night after we had gotten out of training way later than our usual late.

Her dad had made us stay longer because he was a little upset that I called him Alpha. Like I know I'm like a second daughter (his goddaughter) but... I don't know,

I looked at her and said " I know your pops has accepted me as one of his pups and I'm like a daughter to them now...but Stacy I still miss my Papa"

she looked at me her eyes softening as she remembered I only called my dad that very rarely because it would make him smile like a dork.

"I know but my mom and dad love you dude just give in" she climbed into my bed and pulled me into a hug as I sighed thinking about how nice and caring they've been

I hugged her appreciating her random mother hen instincts and thought of the best Idea "Stace how about I call him dad on the day of our birthday" she shot up into a sitting position her eye's sparkling like an anime character before she squealed and said "Dude that's the best gift for a transition like this"

Back to present time

“He lunged at the rouge biting into his throat” Snapping back into the present issue I glanced at Stacy who mumbled "Come on you can do this" then Fae continued “ the rouge has been terminated the Alpha is changing direction...taking on the rouges that have entered his path.”

I was looking at her face seeing the emotions running across her features as her eyes remained gold and trance-like.

As she continued to give us the play by play, I could hear Stacy who was now silently sniffling with her hands crossed over her chest now curled up in a fetal position “There's a rogue cornering a female she-wolf and her pup.” My eyes snapped up to look at Fae “He's Pouncing” she paused her gold eyes darting in all directions “the rouges been eliminated the she-wolf is safe”

“The alpha is charging another rouge” This one is charging at a small child who was trying to protect a small baby.”

my eyes widened and I heard a soft gasp come from Stacy “ the female rogue has been tackled...She’s swiping at him with her claws, she’s putting up a fight trying to bite….The rouge has been terminated”

This is the most descriptive she's been so far and I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding then I saw Fae’s blank eyes widen and as she said

“‘Alpha the rogues have the luna surrounded she is by the north border I don't think she can hold off for long’ ”

his voice sounded as if it was echoing as she quoted a mind link dad was getting. I heard a whimper and looked at Stacy as she suddenly clutched at the sleeve of my shirt.

“The alpha is running to the north border” Fae gasped her eyes flickered changing back to their natural color she clutched her chest squeezing her eyes shut as tears streamed down her face.

I didn’t notice then but heard Stacy cry out in pain now clutching my arm so hard her nails pierced my skin. I then knew what this pain meant and cried as I heard the packs mournful cries for their fallen luna.

I looked over at Fae who stood and came to hug us silently weeping our loss we all knew what it was like to feel the loss of a loved one.

I'm not sure how many minutes passed before we heard it the scariest growl that erupted on the grounds of our home, our pack lands, it was the alpha.

I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and looked over at Fae who knew what it meant as she stood and began blocking the door with everything she could move in the entrances path.

Then it dawned on me and my arms slowly lifted as I held Stacy for dear life, Dad had gone feral and there's nothing we can do to stop that.

I didn’t know what to do but then I felt Stacy struggling to get out of my grip I looked at her and let go

“Xoila” at that moment for the first time in my life I saw I looked into her eye’s both swirling with loss and pain.

“No Stace” I knew what she was thinking and I knew she wanted to be the one to do it

“I have to Xo he’s hurting and Amir’s lost it he won’t wanna give Alpha Dad control” I looked at her disbelief

“How do you know that what if your Dad gets control back” I stood up pulling her up with me in the process

“No Xoila it's unlikely that he will regain control though the moon goddess loves her children Fate is cruel and he hardly never let’s one live after you’ve lost your mate” then Fae interjected as she loaded her handguns

“She’s right Xoila there are very rare cases I was mercy case because that day my wolf Sora died with my family”

I gasped and then Stacy said “Only one can live and my Dad just lost the love of his life in wolf form...Dads humanity is weakened all that’s left is Amir and he’s gone without Lyra..there's nothing we can do except putting an end to the hurting”

I felt my mouth go dry at the thought of her having to do this but I don’t have it in me to say no I just can’t get the words out

“I have to do this”

I wanted to deny the finality in her gaze “But Stace I-I...You just”

Words failed me and I couldn’t argue this

I understand why she wants to be the one to do it but… I just can’t accept it I don't want her to live with this

I didn't notice that my hands were trembling until I felt them steady with a firm hold by Stacy

“Xoila it’s okay”

I looked at her and pulled her into a tight hug. I looked up at Fae who had her arm extended with the handle of the handgun facing our direction.

I let go of Stacy as she turned and grasped the firearm in her hand. I was going speak when we heard wood and glass shattering following by thundering of paws on the hardwood floors below us.

I looked at Stacy and she looked at me, we all backed away from the door I grabbed Stacy’s hand ready to take on our fate.
