Wanted

“Hey, look at me-“my dad grabbed my chin so that I could look at him in the eyes, his cold hands and his fingers covered in mud were leaving my skin cold and dirty. I don’t want to look at him, not in this situation. I don’t want to look at him when the only thing I can see is his face scrunching up in pain while fighting to stay. I don’t want to look at him because it doesn’t matter how many times he’s told me it’s not my fault, I know it is. I know he is dying because of me, because I’m the one they want, I’m the one they’ve been looking for so long. I’m the one who was supposed to get shot, not him.
“You need to listen carefully-“he said as he started coughing up blood. “-I’ll need you to run up north, run as fast as you have never done before. You’ll eventually reach the border that divides both packs, once there you’ll trespass to the Firestone Pack-“I cut him off with a gasp. I can’t trespass; I’ll be dead if I do.
“But daddy, If I d-“he grabbed both of my hands, stroking them as if to release the fear, which by the way it worked. “Don’t worry, that’s the only place where you’ll be really safe. When you get there you’ll say that your name’s Aliyah Reed Woods, daughter of Andrew Reed the Alpha of the Midnight Blue Pack. They will know who you are.” He is getting paler by every second that passes, but I can see that he is trying his best not to show the pain.
“What am I going to do when I get there, what am I supposed to do?” I sobbed, trying my best to control myself. Not for me but for him, I need to be strong for him.
“Only time will tell” He smiled through the pain.
