The Red Wolf's Daughter (Book 3 Part 1: The Becoming of the Siran)

Chapter 9 (Edited)

We walked the rest of the way to where the members of the pack were waiting for us as well as the Demon that had came with us. The Demon was on his phone sort of close to the pack while two of the three pack members glared at him.

"Thanks, Ronan," I said, spying our bags beside him. "Are you leaving today?" I looked up at the older male, causing him to look at us.

He nodded his head. "You know my Beloved. She doesn't like me staying away too long." He looked at his phone, again, and pursed his lips, his brown eyes flashing a darker color. "Fernos wants you to message him. He has some... things he wants you to be prepared for."

"For what?" one of the British males asked. He glanced at Tasha before looking at me. Mistrust filled his eyes, and I was sure that it was because of my mother and because I was close to the Kings and Queens of each species.

I shrugged my shoulders, grimacing. "Don't know," I replied. "There are some things that my parents and some others have been keeping a secret from me." Even if I did know, I thought, I wouldn't be telling you.

The Beta Male, I think, growled and narrowed his eyes at me. He tried to challenge me but instantly backed down when I narrowed my eyes. He grumbled in distaste but didn't try anything, much to my surprise.

Ronan cleared his throat, causing the three of us to look at him. "Well, I need to get going. If you need to leave quickly, go near Buckingham Palace. There is a Nomadic Demon group there. Just show them the insignia, and they will let you stay to contact someone. Either Fernos or Cason will collect you two." He glanced at Tasha.

"She will not be going," the Alpha Male growled out. He took a step towards her, causing me to move in front of Tasha.

"With all due respect," I warned, causing the Alpha Male to glare at me. I narrowed my eyes at him, not liking the fact that he was challenging me. I was someone of power and a higher rank than him... sort of. "If I leave, she leaves too. If she wants to stay if I have to leave, then I will let her stay. She does not know you nor her family. Whatever happened to her in the past has scarred her both physically and emotionally. So, on that note, I suggest you back off."

The Alpha Male narrowed his eyes at me. He tried to scare me by taking a step forward, but I just held my ground. He growled and backed down, his Wolf seething. He didn't try anything, which I was grateful for. He, also, might have caught the fact that Tasha had moved more behind me, and I guess that that had hurt him a little.

"That was bloody awesome," the third and final member of the group said. He grinned when I glanced at him. "I'm Theodore, Tasha's cousin." He smiled at my sister before looking at me. "That dimwit is Cornelius. He is the Alpha Male." He gestured to the fuming Wolf. "And the one that talked first is my older brother, Adam. He is the Beta of the pack."

I smiled at him, relaxing my stance some. "I'm Kyler, but I go by Ky." I gestured to Ronan. "That's Ronan. He was making sure that we made it here safely. I have an "overprotective" mother." I nodded to Tasha. "And, I am sure you three know who she is," I added, causing them to nod.

"You have an overprotective grandfather than mother," Ronan said, causing me to shrug. "Don't forget to contact them. If you don't, then..." He looked at me and smirked, causing me to roll my eyes and grimace.

"They'll send in the brigade again," I said. "I know this. Contact me when you get back?"

Ronan nodded his head and looked at his phone to check the time. "I got to go if I want to catch my flight." He nodded his head to them. "Alpha, Beta." And with that, he left.

"So, when are you going to call everyone?" Theodore asked from the back seat. He leaned forward in between Tasha and I, causing Tasha to stiffen.

"I all ready did while you three were in the restrooms," I replied, looking at my phone and answering a message. "Everyone says good luck and not to kill anyone."

Cornelius snorted and rolled his eyes."Like you can kill me," he said, arrogantly. "I don't think you had killed anyone. I don't think can kill anyone to be honest. I mean, you are a girl."

I stayed silent, because I had actually killed someone. However, it had been between the person and one of my siblings, and I was not going to let my sibling die. And that, was the first time that my family and I had discovered that I had powers.

"Anyways, how is it being the daughter of a famous Alpha?" Theodore asked, changing the subject. He glared at Cornelius, causing him to shrug. "I mean, your mother of course. Although, your father is famous too."

I took a deep breath and let it out. I leaned more against my seat, feeling drained. I was tired and ready to take a nap, but I knew that I had to check in with the actual Alpha and his family. "Honestly?" I asked, not looking at my sister. "Stressful." I fiddled with the necklace my father had given me for my first birthday. It was something that I had rarely taken off because he had said that it was to "protect" me. "I mean, I am expected to be just like her in more ways than one."

"What? Like having powers?"

I shrugged my shoulder. "Having powers or not is classified. Some... people think that I do and had attacked the pack because of it."

"Is that why Ronan wanted you to go near Buckingham Palace if something goes wrong?" Cornelius asked. Disgust filled his voice, and I was sure that it was because he thought I would run from a fight.

"I think that that is more for Tasha than for me," I replied. "I would be able to fight and handle my own self."

'He doesn't want you to use your powers,' Tasha linked, causing me to roll my eyes. 'It's true though. And, you know it.'

"Why haven't you said anything, Natasha?" Adam asked, glancing at his cousin. Worry and compassion filled his eyes, and I had this... strange feeling that he was something more than a cousin. He had this... thing that was like Keagen and me, but I wasn't so sure. "Are you deaf or mute?"

Tasha didn't say a word. She reached for my hand and grabbed it, her heart starting to pound. For some reason, Tasha didn't like people saying her real name, and it caused her to panic sometimes when someone used it. She looked at me with those eyes of hers, and I could tell that she was wanting me to say something.

"She goes by Tasha," I said, my voice holding a small warning in it. "Please, respect her wishes."

"And not talking?"

"Selective mutism," I replied. I rubbed her hand, trying to calm her down. "I don't know much of her past, but.. I can say that it wasn't pretty." I glanced at her, causing her to nod her head as if to say what I had said was all right.

"Does she talk to you?" Theodore asked. He looked at her, and I could tell he was worried about his Luna.

"Yes," I said, nodding my head. "She talks to my twin some but mainly to me."

"What's your brother's name?" he asked.

"Keagen," I said, and my phone started to ring. I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I saw who was calling. "And, that is him now."
