29.

I listened to my dad very carefully as he spoke.

"The day they attacked us I was out hunting. When I got back most of our pack was dead. I tried to help, but I couldn't save everyone." He put his head in his hand and sighed. "All those children..."

I put my hand on his shoulder. "You couldn't do anything, don't blame yourself. It would've been impossible to save everyone."

"But they were my pack. They were my responsibility, they trusted me to keep them safe.... I failed them."

"No, you didn't. We didn't expect them to attack."

He shook his head. "It was my fault for why they attacked. My fault..."

I frowned. "That's what the beta said, but I don't understand why."

"I'll you at the end." He lifted his head back up and continued telling his story. He looked at the chimney like he was seeing what was happening. "Soon not many people could continue fighting. They had too many, we had too little. The ones that were alive, they took them in and forced them to be a part of their pack... Your mother was one of them."

I gasped. "Is she still alive?"

"I don't know. I escaped a month ago. I never knew what happened to your mother. All Lucian told me was that he had her."

"So she could still be alive?"

"I hope so," he whispered.

"You said that you were going to tell me why they attacked us, why did they?"

"A long time ago, before Allen was born, I was a part of the Midnight Pack."

We all gasped. "W-what?" Vanessa stuttered. Dad looked at Vanessa with sad eyes. "What do you mean you were part of that packed?"

"When I was a teen, about 17. I was just a rogue that had just lost his pack. My parents were killed when I was young. My Father was the Alpha of that pack. It was a small pack, we didn't stand a chance. I named my pack after my mother and father." He smiled and looked amused for a second. "My father's name was Mark and my mother's was Ice. What a coincidence they go good together." The corners of my mouth twitched a little.

"Did you join his pack?"

He nodded. "In a way I regret it, and in another, I'm glad I did it. I met your mother there."

My eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. "Mom too?!"

He nodded. "She's Lucian's daughter."

If it was more possible, my eyes widened some more. David looked like he was about to faint. Vanessa looked green and Allen was just sitting there with his mouth hanging open. Under different circumstances I would've laughed and probably taken a picture. But this is no time for that, maybe later.

"So what you're saying is that that man that killed most of our pack and took our mom, is related to us!" Vanessa shrieked. Her eyes teared up a little. "He is no grandpa of mine."

She stood up and left the room slamming the door behind her. The force caused a painting nearby to fall. David whistled.

"She's upset."
