Quinn's pov:

"You need to be the best!! How can you not understand?! You worthless child!!" My father yelled at me as I laid on the ground after being slapped and beaten by him.

He owned a big pack and it was tyrannical, I was never good enough but I hated him, I knew what he did, I knew I came to be, how my siblings came to be, how all this came to be.

I am Quinn, eighteen, my father wants me to wear his last name Lark but I refuse, I use my mother's one.... Thunder.

"Cain leave her alone!!" Mom yelled at him as she helped me up, I could see the pain forever present in her eyes, she did tell me things but not all, most of the things I did research myself to discover the truth.

"I can do as I wish Alexis!!" He yelled back and slapped her.

"I am taking her to my room, you better leave us alone." She spat and guided me away.

I was like both of them, a species now called blood wolves, the ancestors to vampires and werewolves.

I had shoulder length black hair always in a ponytail, her hair was mid back length now, not really caring to cutting it so that's why, my eyes were also red like her, like I had took almost most nothing after my hated father.

I had two siblings, fraternal twins and only four years old, I hated the fucker after learning off his plan to try to remake our race with mom despite her not wanting to and with the high death rate...... It made me sick to the stomach and wanted to kill him even more.

My sister Anna was named after one of mom's old friends that had died just like my brother Mike, my sis got father's gift and she cried for long after learning she was like him and my brother somehow got the gift of father's brother, the memory reading, I had seen mom crying in her room when realizing that as I know it was the gift her mate had discovered to have because of being a Spirit.

For me I had gotten both mom and father's gift, I was something he wanted to make into his masterpiece, I looked up to him when I was little but growing up I learned the truth, my siblings are scared of him and I would take the beating for them and mom but she didn't know of that, I can't let him destroy her more than she already is.

She wasn't chained or anything but a promise made her stay, a promise he made and kept, as long as she remained he wouldn't hurt her old pack.

I was wearing simple sport shoes, black shorts, a white T-shirt with mom's old black hoodie, I did look like her as we all stop ageing at eighteen, I couldn't be mistaken for her that easy though, I did get some of father's body structure and such.

"Quinn love hear me out." I looked at her with a raised eyebrow as she gave me a bag. "Put this on and follow me."

"Okay?"

She leads me to my siblings and mine's room where they were playing.

We all had black hair with red eyes, Anna's was shoulder length too but left free, she was dressed the same as Mike, brown shoes, blue pants and a green hoodie over all.

"Mom?" I asked as she led us to the library and shoved the wall harshly, I gasped as it opened like a door with a passage behind it, she looked at us with a sad look before coming closer.

"This will lead you out in the forest Quinn, take the twins and run, I can't live knowing what he's doing to you." She said with tears rolling down her face and handing me a rolled up piece of paper. "I can't leave or he'll find us again so I trust you Quinn, find the place that's on this paper and go there, run like the wind, tell them I sent u and they'll let you in."

"Mom." I was crying by now and hugged her, she hugged back. "I promise I will, I'll take care of my siblings and will find the place."

"I will cut the mind link between us after you leave so it will sever it for Cain too, he won't be able to find you but he will try so run as fast as you can, now go, it won't take him long to notice you left, go!" She was crying hard as she shoved us in the passageway. "I love all of you despite how you came to me remember that okay?" I nodded, wiping my tears, picking up my siblings, one under each arm and zipping down the hallway as fast as I could as I heard her close the wall door thingy.

Tears rolled down my face when I was finally free of the castle the tyrant had built, I looked up at it one last time before opening the paper, it was a map, I knew where to go, I pocketed it and hugged the crying twins closer and zipped off.

"Where are we going sis?" Mike sniffled as I avoided trees and rocks.

"To a place mom loves and where people are really nice not like here."

"Like what? What place is that?" Anna whispered.

"It is called 'The Reserve'."
