Elijah's Pov.
"Z-zeke?" I manage to choke out.
"Hello brother."
"What the heck are you doing? Give me the boy. Now." I look at him, confused as to why he's doing this. As to why he is still alive.
"You see bro, I can't do that." He replies with a twisted grin.
"TWYLER!!!" Even screams as he sees his big brother coming towards the chaos.
"There's the alpha boys!"
While my brother is distracted I grab Evan and yell at him to run. My brother grabs me by the collar and punches me in the gut.
"You little -"
I quickly get out of his grasp and grab his throat. His friends inch closer but I give them a warning growl.
"If you want to live, I suggest you get the hell out of here. You're outnumbered and you know it. Leave." I let him go and he glares at me before taking off, along with the others.
I put my head down. I choke back a sob.
My brother is alive.
"Eli!" Tyler runs to me and engulfs me into a huge hug.
"I'm do glad you're okay. Thank you for saving my little brother." I can feel him shake.
I instantly wrap my arms around him and kiss his lips to calm him.
"Who was that guy?"
I sigh. "My brother."
I feel Tyler stiffen. "I thought you said that you're whole pack was dead."
I look back at him with a blank face. "I thought so too. Tyler. He will be back."
"I know.."
"Be ready." I look up at him and nod before walking off into the pack house.
"How the fuck is he still alive?"
*Flashback*
Fire. Pain. Screams of agony. Hunters.
Its all I see flash right before my eyes.
I shift to wolf form and attack anyone who comes at me.
I have to get to my family.
Me and my wolf fight our way through all the chaos in search of them.
Then I see him. Zeke.
"BROTHER!" I run towards him and so he towards me.
We briefly hug and he pulls me back.
"They attacked out of nowhere. The woman and children should be in the safe."
I nod. We both change back to our wolf forms and fight.
I see a hunter and run towards it. He sees me and shoots silver bullets. I manage to dodge all of them and bite his neck.
Way to soon three hunters are on my back. I give out a piercing howl. I've been shot.
I see my brother make his way towards me and rips the hunters apart.
"Thank you brother."
Right when I turn around, a hunter sneaks behind my brother.
"BEHIND YOU!" I yell.
It's too late. The silver blade makes its way through my brothers heart. He slumps to the ground.
"Find mom." He breaths out before lying limp before me.
*End Flashback*
"This doesn't make any sense." I whisper to myself.
'We need to find him before this turns to war.' My wolf says.
I jump up. 'You're talking now?'
'I'm sorry I needed time to heal. This mate bond is making me weak from loss of contact. But, find him. Find Zeke. It's what we need to do.'
I nod to myself and head to my room to plan on just what the hell I'm going to do to stop a war.
