Chapter 16
“What do you mean you have lost your wolf?” Anthony spat glaring at her. “Ok, well um just as I said I lost my wolf. I know big shock right?” Mom laughed sarcastically. “Wait, you were a werewolf?” O was still confused. “Sit down. Let me tell you a story kids…..” Mom sighed and started telling us of how she and dad first met.
“It was my 17th birthday, and I was in my room listening to music. I was upset, it had been a full year since my 16th birthday and still I couldn’t find my mate, my parents were disappointed in me. They had already arranged me to meet and hopefully mate with a pack’s Beta, the Scar Pack.
Your grandfather, he couldn’t stand seeing his only daughter parting and doing stuff because she had no mate, he believed that all she-wolves should be kept in check by their mates; sexist bastard. Anyways, he had arranged it; the Beta’s son had lost his mate to a fire, so we left to go meet them.
We arrived and just as the Beta and son, Danny; came up, I smelt cinnamon and fresh cut grass. My mate’s scent. Danny had just kissed my hand when your father walked in and well made it clear we were mates and I was his alone. My dad was happy I found my mate, so everything was canceled. But the Beta didn’t like that I didn’t take Danny as my mate.
We were happy, it had been a few years, you both came along and it was right before I gave birth to Dallas. Your dad took you guys to your grandparents so I could have your sister. But what we didn’t expect was to be attacked while I was in labor at that.
We were ambushed; the Scar pack was well planned. They brought witches to break the mate bond between your father and I, but it didn’t work. They took me while they ganged up on your father and took me to some den of theirs, but since I was in labor; had been for 30 hours now, I was weak. The witches noticed this and tried to break the bond even then. But my wolf was stubborn; she loved me as I did her. And she was determined to save her cub and mate at any cost.
And she did; she used the last of her strength, helped deliver Dallas, and killed the witches. It was like she died, because she did technically; which also severed the mate bond. But your father and I were to in love to care and didn’t need the bond to keep us together; we were good on our own.
Ever since then, I have been without my wolf. And when your father died, he wasn’t in a car crash; he was ambushed while he was running patrol of the pack land, mauled by rouges. I still felt the tug in my chest when he took his last breath, our love was that strong. I know I get snappy with yall sometimes, just imagine living without your wolf and mate though.”
By now mom was crying and a big mess. “I know I lashed out when I smelt sex in your room, but it was just I can’t explain it. I am sorry.” Mom choked out. “It’s fine…” I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck and my mom gasped staring at me with wide eyes.
“It was your mate?! He marked you to!” Mom was just like wow. “Yeah, he is the Alpha here, Alpha Zane.” I blushed. “Well look at you, looking so smug with an alpha mate.” Mom snapped but looked surprised. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Mom said but Anthony scoffed. “Just enough.” I was shocked, what’s up his case?
“Alpha Zane is on the way, he would like to talk to you.” Derek waved as he walked in and headed for Dallas. “What? Why!” Mom started freaking out and slammed the back door open, only to be met with an orange-tan wolf and a red-brown wolf. “Mom what’s wrong? He just wants to talk!” I asked as she was panicking.
“I got to go! I can’t stay here!” Mom was now just full blown freaking out. “Why mom?” Anthony asked grabbing her shoulder and she hissed and slammed him backwards. “What the hell mom?!” I growled and grabbed her wrist only for her to snarl and slung me across the room and into the china cabinet, the glass crushing all over me. “Gah!” I cried out in pain as the glass pierced my flesh.
“LUNA!” Tanner growled and charged mom; only for him to jump back when she pulled out a butcher knife. “Why the hell is there a silver knife in the house?” Anthony snarled. “Boy, you sure take so long to notice little things. I have it for my protection. Since my wolf died, I can hold silver, but you guys still can’t.” Mom smirked.
‘Kate? What’s wrong? How injured are you, do not lie I can feel it.’ Zane growled into the mind link. ‘My mom has gone crazy, I was flung into a china cabinet, but can feel myself starting to heal.’ I linked back and heard him growling and roaring very mad. I heard a groan; snapping out of my trance I looked up to see Mom holding the knife in Tanner’s stomach as he stood in front of me.
“Tanner!” I screamed and went to move but cried out in pain, I was hurting too much. There was a loud and powerful growl and it shook the ground. Zane. Mom hissed and sprinted to the back door, but wasn’t faster than Zane.
“You dare harm my mate?” Zane roared, he was furious. “Stupid mutt, think you are all that? Huh? Your grandfather was just as stupid.” Mom smirked and her eyes flickered before she passed out, Zane allowed her to fall to the ground with a thud. “Lock her in the dungeon, we need to hurry and get Tanner and Anthony checked on. I will take Kate to the doctors, let’s go, move!” Zane ordered and we rushed and he handled me with care.
