She's my True Alpha[MAJOR EDITING]

Chapter 26, Family

N/A: Important chapter

I walk over to the man more cautiously.

"Who?" I ask him.

"Your father," he said. "Gail Sanders."

I stumble back bumping into his machines but I don't care.. For all the times I dreamed of this I always imagined me finding him, not finding him and not knowing it was him. My mom warned me, she warned me that one day I'd learn my lesson.

This is my dad. Isn't it? Then why don't I feel satisfied? Why have I yet to hug him?

Why is there something tugging at my heart telling me to keep my eyes open? I doesn't feel real. Should it?

I just saved his life, from the Alpha who gave me a hand and a pack. Someone I've grown found of, enough to actually open up to her, talk to her as though she were my own aunt.

There has to be a devil in this story, and I can choose from someone who's giving me the best impression and could've had reasonable motive or someone I barely know but is family.

But should family be a reason to let your guard down or should a fake impression be a reason for letting your guard down?

I stare at him, no words leave my mouth. And there is no time because time is a park and there will always be someone there that wants to play with it.

"Who are you?" I ask the next man to enter the room annaniouced as though he might be a long lost family member too.

Before he could answer I see Gail Sanders through my peripheral lung up and jolt on top if me, straining every bone in his body that was once in a coma and mine.

"Whatarey-" The lit hospital room gets lit up with gunfire, shattering every window and glass. The man that had previously walked in gets gunned dow. His lifeless body stood in front of me before he fell to his knees.

The guilt and anger I felt and not because he died or because I didn't save him or even because I saw it happen, but because in this moment I realized even being an orphan I have people who will save me ready to take the bullet. He had no one around. No one that would save him.

"You really are my father," I breath bringing myself up off the floor.

My mom taught me a few things and one of them has surfaced.

"There is no sacrifice without love," I nod hurriedly ready to disregard her. "Now, I know it sounds simple but to sacrifice means to give up something you love. And you love your life, so if someones ready to give that up they're bound to love you eternally and above anything,"

"No one else could love me like blood family," I think aloud. It must be him. "If your really my father how'd I get my name?" I ask.

"I figure your name would be Carlin..." He started. I hadn't told him my name yet. Had he heard the alpha say it? "...Is a warriors name I fought during battle. Your mother, my mate also fought in the battle before she died. The warrior on the other side of war allowed me safe passage knowing I had a baby on the way. There I named you Carlin Sanders,"

Wrong, my mother hadn't died on that battle field. She gave birth to me and got sick but she didn't die. I have to tell him she didn't die until a few months ago, on the way to look for him. But what good would that do she's still dead.

I wished he'd go into more detail, but for now this was good enough. I instinctively wrap my arms around my father.

"I came here looking for you," At this moment tears streamed down both of our eyes. The Alpha would say this is weak. I relif a light chuckle to myself thinking of it.

"I know your the reason I woke up, I had to save you knowing you were here, but I'm still weak."

In the brief moment I felt happy I'd nearly forgetten about the questions I had. My dad was one of those funny ask subjects . It's not that my mom refused to talk About my father it's that she'd get emotional before she could, and I hated to see her cry. Eventually I stopped asking. He grabbed my wrist tightly.

"Come back here tonight. Tonight Carlin. I have to get you out of here," The last part he said to himself. He sounded so paranoid.

I nodded letting him think I was off to pack my bags. I didn't come with anything. Maybe I should talk to The Alpha first, she can protect us. Unless she's the one I'm getting protected from.

I'm not too dense to deny Keeyln cares for me. And maybe that could uphold her plans until i think my enemies through.

When I got to my room she was already there, all my things were packed. I looked around at everything that was given to me in bags. Only lyes the bed.

"Al-Alpha?" I question.

She hadn't noticed my presence. Once she saw me in the doorway she immediately rushed over to me gripping my shoulders firmly.

"Carlin, it isn't safe here. We have an enemy, Lucifer. And he is out to kill you all, and I cannot keep you or Nyla safe while keeping my pack safe," She says.

Is that worry in the heartfelt in her voice? She lands a kiss on my forehead handing me a rolling suitcase.

"B-but I thought I was fighting beside you in war? You haven't even seen me fight in Bell battle yet," I try.

I stand there frozen and dumbfounded like a dumb deer and headlights. Lucifer? Who is that, I haven't heard of any chaos in the past lead by his name.

"Keeyln I want to stay here with you, I've found my father," I give her a faint smile as reassurance.

She shakes her head. "Go find Nyla, Carlin!" I look away and she grabs my jaw forcing me to look her in the eye. "Now!" She says with her red Alpha eyes forcing me to oblige.

I begin wondering through the woods with my head down leaves cracking under me feet. Then I start to pout.

"Ahhhh!" Someone screams ever so suddenly, I've heard them all day. Then the same one repeats.

"Ahhhh!"

Wait I know that one. Well that voice, I'd recognize it years later. Nyla's.

I rush over to where I can see through the bushes. With little force I push the branches out of my view to find that Nyla is surrounded by men ready to smuggle her.

Nyla is kidnapped! What do you think?

Can any of you make connections about Lucifer? Think about what Marcos said. Whoops I've said too much!

Carlin is Gails son.
What's gonna happen to Gail? If Keeyln can't do it who will?

Keeyln cares about the boy! Awe! Cute?

And Nyla is starting to get a little love. Why is it Keeyln is taking care of her lovers (that she hates) kids?

Interesting?

Boring?

I have a humugous twist coming un the next few chapters. New characters!
