Blood Rose

5 Years Later

It's my birthday today. I am 17 years old. Normal teens, even normal werewolf teens would be celebrating with big parties. Lots of food, people, and happiness shared over a child turning into an adult. In the past 5 years since the incident, I have only made sure to celebrate Liam's birthday. Never mine or Daddy's or Mama's or Maeve and Thea's. I would look up at the stars and only think of them. I would tell Liam stories of them but never how they died. Only on those days did we talk about our family.

For my 13th birthday I got a very special present. My wolf. And My Vampire. I had to shift all on my own without waking a sleeping Liam who lay sound asleep behind me. Snapping bones, sprouting fur, elongated body parts. I was excruciatingly painful and I had no one to help me through it. After I had shifted I lie still, exhausted, listening to the sounds of the forest. In the morning I realized I had shifted back in my sleep. I get dressed and get ready to leave with Liam.

Only to find a wolf waiting for me outside. I was terribly frightened seeing another wolf.

Flashback

I held Liam in my backpack, shielding him from the wolf's sight. The wolf started to move and I leaped off his back behind him. The wolf turned around, tilting its head curiously. My wolf, Hazel wanted to take over but I didn't want to chance hurting Liam. Nyx, My vampire extended my fangs trying to scare the wolf away. The wolf then bowed. I stared, confused. The wolf then went behind a tree, shifting. I stood frozen unsure what I should do. I had to keep Liam safe no matter what. As I started to turn and run I heard a male's voice. "Wait!" the voice called. Slowly turning back around I spotted a male.

There he stood, a male around my age in blue shorts and a t-shirt. I noticed his wavy dark brown hair that reminded me of Liam's, his tanned skin and lanky yet strong build. The male's hazel eyes stared at me with the same curiosity as before. I ran away fast using my vampire speed. I almost ran into a lake when I felt a hand grab my arm. A gasped jumping back around. The male stared at me again not saying a word. His once hazel eyes now a Golden yellow that I know as that of a vampire. My eyes widened. "My name is Kyle Ward. I am from the Blue Moon pack at the edge of the forest. My father is the beta of our pack. I caught your scents and got curious. I am a werewolf/vampire hybrid. Like you." Kyle. Blue Moon Pack. Hybrid. Like you. Still on guard I shook his hand off. "Rosalie Drake. Daughter of Noah and Camilla Drake. Alpha and Luna of the Lunar Bane Pack." I spoke softly. He nodded. Then his eyes widened. "Lunar Bane?! You mean the pack that got attacked by rouges a few months ago?" I nodded, holding back tears. He nodded again. "Come on then. Let's go." He says. "Where?" I ask warily. "Somewhere safe." I followed.

This year on my birthday I celebrated but not my birthday. I celebrate 3 years of having the strongest pack in the world. The most feared. Blood Rose.

We stayed a long time. We waited a year for Thea to come for us. Yet she never did. I did as I was told. I waited, I bought the things necessary for our survival. No one questioned anything. You would think that a 12 year old girl carrying a 3 week old baby would set off alarms but it never did. A year in our hideout; only leaving for more food.

During that time I had hope that my family was still alive. Hope that I wasn't left alone with a baby to take care of at 12 years old. I was still a baby myself. As Liam cried during the day I did my best to keep him quiet; make sure no one heard. Only after he had fallen asleep would I allow myself to cry myself into the dark oblivion that is called sleep. In that year I learned how to be many things. A hunter, an assassin, a sister, and most importantly a mother.

After the year I decided it was best we move on to a safer place. Not looking back once, we left. Kyle found us a month after my first shift and since then we have been inseparable. Liam and I didn't join his pack but you might have thought we did. I didn't want to because of what happened in our last time we were in a pack.

We stayed in the pack house with everyone else. We ate with everyone. We even played with everyone. Kyle's Parents, Leon and Scarlett, are the Beta and Beta Female. They took us in no question when Kyle brought us home. Xander, Kyle's older brother, became a big brother to me and Liam as well. Again you would have thought we would join the pack. The only noticeable difference between us and the others, was I wouldn't let anyone near Liam without me and I wouldn't let anyone other than Kyle and Xander touch us.

Four years after the attack and I still have nightmares. I still sleep with Kyle and Liam. Four years and I still only let Leon and Scarlett look after Liam. I still go into fight mode at the littlest things. Four years and my sister hasn't found us. We still haven't gotten word from other packs that we are being looked for. We still haven't gotten word that any of our pack members remained alive.

In that time I learned to fight, to train, to become a warrior and a tracker for the pack.I learned to become a leader. To be an Alpha. I'm not officially an Alpha but my name carries weight throughout the packs. I am feared by many.
