The Other Half of the Moon

Chapter 16 - Small Wolf Strong

***Tae's POV***

        Ky has the attacker pinned to the ground and at this point my whole family is now in the room on full alert. Suddenly Khloe barges into the room and let's out a startled scream before running over and trying to push Ky away from the man he's pinned down. "Master!" she tries to push Ky away but Skylar is there to grab her away.

        "What the hell is going on here?" my father yells.

        "That's Master! Don't hurt him, he was just looking for me!" then the puzzle fits into place, he's the one that kidnapped Khloe and Sky, he came back looking for Sky. Khloe probably set this whole thing up!

        "You!" I point accusingly at my newest sibling. "You came here to spy on us! Then you told him when to come so he could take Sky away from me! Away from us! You little-" my anger cuts me off and I lunge for her. Mother holds me back from clawing her eyes out.

        "Is this true?" Sky asks Khloe, betrayal and hurt evident in her voice.

        Khloe slumps to the ground and breaks down, "I-I didn't mean f-for anybody t-to get h-hurt. I just w-wanted to h-have my t-tw-twin! I wanted a friend!" She starts to sob hysterically into her hands and everybody realizes who the bad guy is here. Not Khloe, but her 'master'. He brainwashed the poor girl into betraying her own blood and flesh.

        I give my mom a look the tells her I'm okay, she lets me go hesitantly. I walk calmly over to Khloe and sit across from her, not towering over her. "Listen Khloe, he brainwashed you. He kidnapped you as a baby, and took you away from us, your family. We loved you before you were even born, he doesn't love you. We do, even though we barely know you. You can stay with us, we can make up for all of those years missed."

        "R-really?"

        "Yes. Now come on, you won't ever have to see him again."

        "I won't have to cook? Clean all the time? Can I go to school!" Khloe's sudden excitement makes us all smile, however realizing she's never been school caused mine to falter slightly.

        "Come on hun, you can go to school, and meet friends, have fun. Now all you have to do is tell us what happened. How he treated you and then he'll be locked away for you to never see again." Khloe practically skips from the room. However she makes it to the door before something turns all of our heads.

        "Don't move!" When we look we see the attacker holding a knife to Sky's neck. Ky is on the ground with a guilty look in his eyes, the poor guy must have been taken off guard as he watched Khloe and I. "Khloe, Khloe, Khloe. You thought you could betray me? Throw me under the bus?" Khloe looks horrified, even more so than the rest of us.

        Nobody even noticed the slight movement from across the room until it was too late. A small grey wolf lets out a loud snarl before taking the attacker to the ground, he didn't even had a chance the react before the grey wolf literally tore into him. Skylar screams, the grey wolf whimpers and goes to her. He runs his nuzzle into her and she smiles lightly before stroking it. "Liam, it's okay." Then it hits me, Liam is her mate. I'm dumbfounded mostly becaus Sky is only 13, too young to find her mate.

        "We've got a problem guys," Ky calls out. "He's already almost healed."
