Deciding my Fate

Chapter 8

My Father nodded to me to signal to open the door. I walked the four steps from Sam's side to the door.
"Hello Devon." Mr. Stone's calm voice cooed at me my lip lifted in a sneer as I peered around him Jax looking slightly drugged had a gun pointed at my mom as Mrs. Stone had one pointed to Rylan's mom. "Why don't you be a good child and let me in the office." I heard the warning growl erupting from my dad's chest and a few more as I seen the Taylor's and Zack and Levi come into view. "Drop the guns." I said calmly. Okay so I tried to say it calmly. It came as more of a growl and every word was laced with my Alpha blood line authority. I seen Jax melt slightly under the pressure. "Now Devon, you know you have to listen to the Beta almost as much as a Alpha. Which I soon will be. Now be a good pup and let. Me. In. The. Office." I found myself letting my neck tilt slightly to the left. Oh no you don't Devon you do not give into someone weaker than you. My mental tirade was focusing on my human emotions. I needed my wolf at the for-front of my mind. Slowly I could feel her making her way to the front of my mind. Straightening my neck, and locking my jaw in place I stood taller showing I would not be intimidated. "I. Said. Now." Stone barked the command. I felt my father behind me I moved so that I was flanking him and that I was between Sam and her own father. This is playing out so wrong what could make a father do this to his own daughter? I caught Rylan giving me a sign. It was a sign I new well. Him, Jace and Levi would give me that sign so I would know when they were going to crawl up the outside of the Taylor house in Marshall. Just to scare Layla. I nodded and they backed away slowly. I knew I could always count on these boys. I love them and even if my brother isn't school smart he is defiantly pack smart. I heard the boys out the back window as did my Dad he knew what they were up to so he kept talking. I noticed how Zack hovered close to Layla and her slight nod as Zack and Mr. Taylor moved out so they were both hidden out of the view of the beta. They had about a moment to act before he would get suspicious. "Why do you have guns pointed at my mate and her friend?" My dad said in a sickly sweet tone. One I knew meant trouble. "Cut the games Charlie I know Samantha has told you everything." I nodded my head as I heard the windows squeak open. In a matter of seconds Levi was flanking my dad and Rylan on my side he ushered me closer to the middle next to Sam and Jace was behind us creating a full protective triangle around Sam and I. Zack and Mr. Taylor chose that moment to act and they had both Mrs. Stone and Jax unarmed and shot up with wolfs bane. Did they walk around carrying that on them? Mr. Stone didn't even spare his mate and son a look he just pulled out his own gun it wasn't out right aimed at my dad but he had it angled so it would ricochet off the ceiling light and hit me or Sam my math isn't that well as you can see. "That's aimed at you." Sam said calculating the way the bullet may move. "Put the gun down John." My dad said each word emphasizing that he had the power. "No I don't think I want too. I want to be Alpha."
"Are you so power hungry it has drove you rogue. Only a Rogue would beat his own Daughter." I spat I heard growls of agreement from the boys and our mothers'. John's cold blue eyes snapped to my face.
"Ah Devon you and your 'wise words' it will be a shame when I kill you. But then again it will be made to look like you framed Jax for everything he has been doing to keep suspicion away from yourself." looking for a reply was hard my head was swimming with anger. I noticed that Zack and Mr. Taylor had the guns trained on Jax and his mother. "Dad give Zack the order." I said at the same time as Levi, he must have noticed it too. He probably didn't like that Layla was out numbered in the hall way. "Zack. Matt. Pull. The. Trigger." My dad growled. He hated violence but that was the only way this was going to get solved obviously. John didn't so much as flinch as he was covered with the blood of his son and wife. Sam did though. She buried her face in my shoulder. I wrapped a comforting arm around her. It must be hard to see your mother and brother shot even after all they have done to her. Mr. Stone had become Rogue and It was all clear. The only thing that would save us from him was his death, and he was the one with a gun; he knew how much my dad was against guns. If my dad was to kill another wolf it would be in wolf form and that is it. Guns or no I knew my dad would win but with John holding the gun if he were to shoot my dad he would be injured. Unless the shot was deadly. Once the residue smell of gunpowder had wore of I could smell two things. Two very deadly things. Wolfs bane and silver. Could it be that John had used silver bullets infused with pure wolfs bane? I think he did. I wouldn't put it past him. Damn how did today take such a dramatic change from Sam and I doing research on her and her so many greats' grandmother, to her father holding us at gunpoint with her mother and brother dead. "John how could you go rogue?" I mumble as everything is finally setting in and it isn't even lunch time yet. "Ha! You are so naive Devon, what your family has I want. I want the power to feel the rush in my veins. I want Werewolves to rule the human race. Instead here we live behind all these secrets when we are the stronger race. Humans should fear us." He spat threw his teeth. This guy! Our lives depend on us blending in.
"John our existence depends on us moving amongst and blending with humans. We are not meant to rule over them and we are not better than them. They each have a role to play in this world along with us. Regardless of what you think." I spit threw my teeth. John and wolves like him is why we had to start hiding our true selves in the first place. John's eyes slightly widened when he realized that the number of wolves against him had grown. I sighed my coffee did not have enough caffeine in it for this. Then as one we all turned as we heard a growl. Xavier had showed up also with several other fighters. They aren't often pulled off patrol. I looked at Levi. He nodded indicating that he had stopped them and told them to help here. We had good fighters inside this room protecting Sam and we had good fighters outside the room protecting our Mom's. the gun was still aimed so the bullet would hit me. I knew Wolves were allergic to silver it wasn't all that deadly depending on where the bullet hit. but the wolfs bane would spread and make it impossible to move or defend ourselves, so yes all together a deadly combination. Why wasn't anybody doing anything yet? I was getting very anxious. I was ready to slump down with Sam and the boys and drink hot chocolate and watch a movie. Hell I would rather be in Mrs. Smith's 8 AM History class, and that was saying something. At the same time I heard Xavier hiss mate and lock eyes with Sam. Jace growled silently I looked over to him and shook my head letting him know we would talk later. He calmed and let on like nothing had happened were we the only ones who noticed? I was struggling to pull my mind back to the seriousness of this situation. When I heard my name.
"DEVON!" Everyone shouted as I crumpled to the ground. It was getting hard to breathe. I could hear a gun shot and a body hit the floor. "Make sure they are burned." That was my dad. Check he was still alive.
"Devon are you alright." I looked around but all I seen was a blur of faces of the people I loved. Jace, Rylan, Sam, Levi, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, Layla, Mom, dad. They were all there and so was Zack. Then I felt a pain in my side. I sucked in a deep breath and realized that everything was spinning at a dizzying speed.
"She's bleeding get the pack doctor here now." My Dad's voice came but he wasn't the calm Alpha anymore he was a worried father why was he worried again?
"We dont have time!" Sam's voice screamed as a pain pierced through my side again.
"Why is she bleeding?" That was Rylan. Oh no Rylan is he okay? This is a strange experience. My vision was turning dark around the edges I faintly heard Gasps and loud swearing as something was reveled I was going to ask, but then everything went black.
