Prologue

I looked at the three boy in front of me. They were all so different from one another, but they were all the same in a way. I had raised them from when they were just babies; I couldn’t be prouder of how they turned out.

Each of them had their own special trait to them. The smallest had the blessing of speed and stealth; the biggest brother had the blessing of strength and regeneration; and the final brother had the blessing of wisdom and sight. The three of them were a force to be dealt with and feared.

“Do the three of you know what to do?” They looked at me and nodded. “Be safe, don’t take any risks and look out for each other.”

“We will, don’t worry mom,” the smallest said with a smile.

“Alright, Veni, just remember that you aren’t as strong as your brothers,” Veni sighed and nodded his head. “Vici, make sure to look out for your brothers.” Vici smiled and hugged his two brothers into his sides.

“I protect, no worry,” I pat his face.

“Vidi, remember to watch with not only your eyes, but…”

“With my nose and ears,” Vidi sighed, seeming bored.

“Remember what I taught you,” he nodded, half listening. “You better go now, be careful.”

I watched the three of them leave, changing into their wolves as they ran. I’d miss my boys, they would always brighten my day. Then they’d do something to ruin it, but I still loved them for it. They were my little angels, even if they enjoyed wrecking stuff, but they’re werewolves, what do you really expect? They’d fight constantly, about the stupidest things ever, once over the last cookie, even though I had another batch in the oven, it was cute how Vidi would always break up Vici and Veni, and split the cookie in three so they could all have a piece.

I’m going to miss the three of them so.

Looking around I saw the mess that needed to be cleaned up. Their like a tornado; once in a confined space they rip it apart then leave. Feeling bored I started to clean up the mess.

After a few hours I finally finished. Looking over at my handy work I smiled. Cleaning up after their mess made me able to clean and fix anything.

A loud knock came at my door. “Just like I foretold,” I said in a low whisper. Opening the door I smiled up at the man at my door. “Can I help you? Did your car break?”

“You know why I’m here witch,” the man growled.

“Oh? Which witch do you mean? A sandwich? Sorry but I don’t make sandwiches, I’m sure theirs a nice sandwich shop in town though,” I know I was pushing my luck, but so be it.

“Don’t toy with me!” He slammed his head against my doorframe. “Where are they?”

“The royal they?”

“Veni, Vidi, and Vici, I want them…I need them,” a smile played on his lips.

“Oh? Well I’d have to say that you don’t, you just want to use them, you’ll have to go through me,” I slammed the door in his face and stood back, moving my lips to cast a spell.

With a few loud bangs the door caved in and a large grey wolf jumped in. Casting my spell I made a wall of flames erupt in front of me, leaping to the side I dodged his foolhardy pounce. The wolf yelped as his fur burned. Quickly casting another spell I bided him to the ground.

“If you can’t beat me, then you’ll never be able to get close to my sons.”

The wolf struggled and flailed about, trying to get free. Stopping his struggle he changed down and lunged towards me. Pulling a knife from my side I stuck it into his gut while he strangled me.

“I’m a lot tougher then I look,” he snarled as he started to shake me.

“No you aren’t,” I retorted and brought my dagger up. He helped and reached down for my hand. With a quick snap of my wrist I set the dagger’s spines into his gut, then I stepped back, releasing the dagger. He reached for my dagger and went to pull on it. The man growled in agony and left the dagger where it was.

“Good thing I didn’t come alone,” a sharp pain sprung from the lower of my back.

“Oh I know you didn’t, the purpose to what I was doing was to merely wound you.”

“Well I’ll be perfectly fine in a hour or so,” I smiled evilly.

“Not unless the poison gets to you first, you shouldn’t have pulled on the dagger…the spines hold poison that you released when you…tugged on it,” I wheezed a bit and smiled some more at the look on his face. “I might die, but you’ll be in pain for days…the poison is…special…it kills…were…wolves.”

“Then I guess I’ll make you suffer,” he stepped closer to me and grabbed my head.

“Better not rip the dagger out though,” I reefed on it and pulled it straight out and jabbed it into his arm. “The poison moves faster then.” He pulls back and snapped my neck. Into the great beyond. Be safe my boys, I thought before I died.

I snapped her neck with a satisfying snap. “Get the car running!” I ordered the man with me. He ran quickly to the truck, I heard the engine reeve as I exited the house. He drove the car up the front door. “Burn it to the ground.”

“Yes alpha,” he jumped out again and pulled a few matches from his pocket and lit them, tossing each to a different corner of the house. I climbed into the passanger seat and rest my back against the headrest. He got into the car quickly and sped off to are compound.

I will get the three brothers, I just need more time and more people.

Hope you enjoyed!! Sorry for the early death, but I need to set stuff up! I'd love some feedback about the three brothers!

Fun fact: Veni means I came. Vidi means I saw. Vici means I conquered. They are latin.
