"Mom, I'm back". I screamed immediately I entered the house. Mom came out from the kitchen and smiled.

"OK baby, go change out of your uniform and come downstairs OK?" I nodded and ran up the stairs. I entered my room and quickly changed into a blue Barney t-shirt and a pair of leggings mom had set out for me. I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. I sat on one of the stools and dad walked in.

"Dad!" I screamed and he picked me up and kissed my cheek as I giggled.

"And how's my little pumpkin doing today" I giggled.

"I'm doing great, dad" he set me down and sat down beside me. Mom sat down too and took a deep breath.

"Baby, I'm sure you've seen the pack warriors train, right?" I nodded. Well, you know your dad is beta and you have to be strong just like him right?" I nodded again.

"Well, baby you'll have to train everyday so that you can be really strong just like daddy OK?" I nodded and smiled.

"So tomorrow we'll begin your training OK?" I nodded.

"Will Andrew be training with me?" dad shook his head.

"What about Bree?" dad shook his head again and I nodded.

"You can go now baby". Mum said and I got off the stool and ran to Andrew's room.

"Andrew!" I looked at my fifteen year old brother and he smiled.

"Hey little Rem". I huffed.

"I'm not little, I'm ten". I said holding ten fingers up and he chuckled. I sat down on his bead and played video games with him till I fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up on my bed to mom talking beside me.

"Mom, just a few more minutes". I whined and she just chuckled.

"Today's the first day of your training baby". I was up within the blink of an eye and she chuckled.

"Get ready quickly". I nodded and ran into the bathroom. I was done within five minutes. I hurried to put on the gym shorts and tank top mom had kept aside. Mom came up and dried my hair before putting it into a high ponytail. I went down the stairs with her and had bacon as breakfast. I walked into the backyard and saw dad standing at a table with some vials on it.

"Good morning dad, what's that?" He smiled.

"Nothing you need to worry about yet, pumpkin" I nodded and sat on the mat on the floor. Mom came in and nodded to dad and he took a bottle and opened it. He smiled at me before he drank it. After one minute, I started feeling unbearable pains in my chest.

It felt like they were ripping at my heart.

"Mom, what's going on?" She looked away and the pain continued spreading. I felt something snap and then I felt a strange emptiness in my heart. I looked at dad who lay lifeless on the floor and it clicked. The potion... the pain... dad... mom's tears... the potion killed my dad and I went through the bond breaking. I screamed.

"Dad, no please, wake up" I shook him and after what seemed like forever he finally woke up.

"Dad, I thought I lost you". I said as I cried into his chest. I felt the same pain again and looked up to see mom on the floor.

The pain lasted for ten minutes before mom woke up, dad took the potion, and the circle continued. They did this twelve times and I was left feeling broken and tired. Dad came to embrace me but I move back. I felt drained and the pain almost drove me mad.
