October ⌾

"Mama..." I cry until I was pulled away from my mother's dead corpse.

Her face was still resting, even after I woke up crying again.

I scream in distress as I felt being held captive in someone's arms again.

I don't wanna die too! I promise Mama!

"Alpha, we found a survivor." As I was pushed in front of the Alpha, and everyone around me whispers.

"Poor child..."

"He lost his mother in the attack..."

"Damm the Moon Goddess..."

"What's your status boy?" The Alpha's voice echo around us as it quiet everyone else.

I continue to cry, wiping my tears and snob out of my face. I felt I couldn't breathe anymore.

I want my Mama...

"Alpha, I believe this child is an omega due to the attack that happened here." One the of the soldiers said, noticing the area around us.

It was obvious that we're werewolves and only belong in large forests, but the fact that my mother wasn't part of any pack.

"Damm it, well who's willing to raised this child then?"

No one answered or made a move, meaning they don't want me...

I'm cursed. I'm cursed because the fact I survive and my mom didn't. Probably that's why they don't want me.

I just stood there in front of the Alpha, waiting for an answer from anyone.

Alpha sighs, and then suddenly I hear someone behind me.

"I'll do it." A voice said, and I turn a little to see a man with dirty blonde hair and plain brown eyes.

"Damien? Why? You're still young yourself, nor you have a mate yet."

"He...He reminds me of my little brother Alpha."

The Alpha silently stares at Damien and then nods once.

"You okay little guy?" Damien ask, as he kneels in front of me.

I silently continue crying, even when it was embarrassing to be seen like this still.

"Don't let it happen again soldiers, we can't risk losing more of the moon goddess's children."

The soldiers nodded, but before they left to continue searching for any more attacks.

The Alpha looks at me with pity, and then says another order "And buried the child's mother too."

Then I see the soldiers taking my mother's body, as if she being taken away from me again.

"Mama!!! Don't go!! Please!" I sob, my arms reaching towards her, and suddenly felt Damien's arms keeping me still from reaching her.

"I'm sorry."

Mama...please come back...

***

"I think he's awake now." Hearing the same voice from earlier.

My eyes blink to adjust the light around us, while I try to move my body. But it hurt when I move, and felt like I was going to die.

I was laying in bed when I woke up again, the bed was soft and warm. But I miss the warmth my mother had for me.

The room around me was small but then again, I had lived in smaller space like our cottage.

"Hi, how are you feeling?" Seeing Damien sitting up from his seat from where he was.

I didn't bother to say anything, I still felt tired and wished to continue dreaming with my Mama again.

But I couldn't help to form tears in my eyes again, thinking about what happened to her.

"Angie, get some water. He might be thirsty." Damien order, and heard tiny footsteps from outside the room and into the hall.

"On it!" Hearing another voice, a girl's voice.

Odd.

"What's your name?" Damien ask, and I kept looking at my small hands.

I wish I was dead, I wish I had died next to my Mama...

My head lowered, and tears filled in my eyes, ready to explode.

"Hey, it's okay. Your Mama is somewhere safe now. She's with the moon goddess's garden." As Damien consoles me, but I wanted to see her again.

"Can I visit her?" I cry, holding the blanket tightly around me.

"Of course, once you're old enough to understand..."

"I want to see Mama now." As I try to get off my the bed I was in, ready to find my Mama.

"Woah, relax. It's okay. We're here to help you. Just listen to me. I know you're scared and you don't know me, and somewhere new, but I want to help you." Damien said, trying to explain the situation to me.

"...Why couldn't you save us then?" I said, closing my eyes tightly, trying not to remember how my Mama died.

"It was already too late, when we arrived we found you still breathing." He said, and looks at me with solemn expression.

I silently kept quiet, and stared at him as if my face held no more emotion.

"Here's a cup of water Damien." Seeing a girl around my age near the front bedroom door, with dirty blonde hair but instead of plain brown eyes, it was bright blue. Holding the cup of water in her hand.

"Here, drink some water. Angie here is my lil sister." As Damien took the cup from her to me.

Angie looks at me curiously, as she wore some weird looking bright pink pj's.

"Hello! I'm Angie! You are?"

I didn't bother to say anything, I don't wanna bother anyone else anymore.

Though, does this mean this is my new life without my Mama?

"October." I reply.

"Huh?" Angie ask in confusion.

"My name's October..." I start again, looking at them as they held surprised looks.

"Nice to meet you October. This is my older brother, Damien. I'm sure you'll fit right in with us."

I hope so...
