4 He's just six

Annaliese starts leaving with a nonchalant expression, turning away. 

For a second, Daniel ran towards the body and dropped down on his knees; just beside Naomi.

He slowly, with the most of care, brushed his hand just across her cheek with a confused expression on his face.

Fresh tears suddenly ran down his face as he fondly rubbed his thumb across the dry blood by the side of her mouth.

"Don't bother kid. She's dead" Anna announced, turning to start packing. She looked at him as he stood up slowly.

"And you better not try to leave till I'm done packing and leaving this trash house." She sneered and turned around, hastily putting a few things in an old duffel bag.

Already, she planned on stealing a few foodstuffs from the kitchen and some jewelries from Marcy's room.

He finally turned to her.

He was shaking violently, and different shades of blue were suddenly swirling in his large eyes filled with unshed tears.

"You killed Nana." He confirmed in a dark tone.

She didn't reply and only clicked her tongue nonchalantly.

What could a six year old possibly do?

She wouldn't let him leave till she was far away from the mansion.

If he told anyone what she had done, they might not believe him.

Besides, Naomi was a pathetic, wolfless Omega.

No one would even notice her absence.

No one would mourn her.

She scoffed in disgust as she remembered how the Beta had embarrassed her today.

Suddenly, she hears bones cracking.

She blinked severally, turned and staggered back on seeing what was before her

He was just six.

Right? RIGHT???

He was barely a teenager.

He was just a toddler.

How was he even…

Clothes began shredding and falling to lie in pieces on the floor.

Before she could gulp, before her stood on four legs, a medium large wolf with long sprout ears, canines long and sharp as it growled at her, its nose flaring.

She stepped back, the things in her hands falling to the ground.

However, when she turned to run away, she slipped on something as she moved backwards and fell to the ground.

The wolf was black with navy blue colored patches designing the fur and its eyes…

They were glowing some sort of Vegas, dark gold color with a cedar red slit in the middle, giving the wolf an intimidating look.

She wanted to scream but at once, he leaped on her and after some shrill screams and struggles, he tore her in shreds, killing her instantly before she could even shift to defend herself.

Landing on the ground, his paw soaked in blood along with almost everything else in the room, he shifts back to his

naked human form, fast asleep, unconscious likely.

It was not until later afternoon, did an Omega walk in on them, only to scream; alerting almost the whole household.

The pack warriors had yet to return, but Alpha Damien had returned a while ago.

He heard the scream of course and plenty more screams later on.

He mind linked Anna, the supposed head maid, but it wasn't going through.

He didn't want to mind link Ray.

He was still mad at him, because they were yet to find Marcy all day and he wouldn't leave his room.

He just stayed there, sulking. Pathetic.

He tried mind linking some others, but he sensed something was definitely wrong.

He decided to check it out himself.

He couldn't mind link Noami, Daniel's 'mummy'.

Apparently, she has no wolf and was pretty much seen as a human in the Pack.

So he sighed, going out.

He ran into Barton whose eyes was wide with shock and fear.

He was trembling terribly.

Damien smelt trouble.

"What's wrong?"

Barton couldn't reply and only looked down at his hands, raised at eye level like he hadn't seen something like that before in his life.

He noticed blood on Barton's hand and at once, he got the wift of blood in his nostrils and he began to run in the direction of where the stench came off strongly.

From far behind , Barton chased after him but in unhurried steps; almost like he was too petrified to run as enthusiastically as he usually did.

Brittany stubbornly went along with the pack warriors, so she wasn't around.

Once Damien arrived , his heart began to race fast and he didn't know why.

He saw a crowd of Omegas gathered at the door, talking in hushed whispers.

As he made his way close to the scenery, he used his Alpha aura and like the red sea, they parted hurriedly but reluctantly and let him in.

"What happened to Nana?" The pestering little voice timidly asked at the back.

Damien gritted his teeth as he drove along the path of rocks which made the car bounce once In a while.

They were on the their way to the Moon Howler's Pack with Daniel's things in the car trunk.

"She's in a better place Daniel. How many times do I have to tell you." He was already fed up. This was the nth time.

"Where?" He insisted.

Damien held the bridge of his nose and didn't say a word.

"It's not fair" Daniel muttered after some time. "You're sending me away from home and from my best friend".

"You disobeyed me." He replied coolly, suppressing the urge to lash out at him. "I gave you a chance to behave and what did you do? You killed someone. Daniel, you killed someone, and somehow you shifted at just six. Until I figure out what your actual punishment is and when the Shaman figures out why you shifted at this time, at some point you're not returning to the Dark Risers's pack."

"I was saving….."

"She was an Omega. She was not worth fighting for." He quickly reconstructes his words. "Anna would have been given the appropriate punishment, but you shouldn't have killed her. You're only alive because you're my son and because she was an Omega."

"Where's Nana, Daddy?" He asked again, his lower lip, trembling.

Damien gritted his teeth and hit the brakes.

The car stopped so abruptly that Daniel would have flown through the car windscreen if it weren't for the fact that he was satcheled in with his seat belt.

He looked up at Damien who glared at him from the rear view mirror.

"She's dead Daniel" He spat out. "She's with your mother. They're In a safe place, but they're never coming back."

And just like he expected, he left the car and walked away, leaving Daniel to wail and cry out under the moon and stars that were the only ones left to witness this pitiful scene.

His wails put Damien through so many emotions as he ran further away from the car yet he let him cry till he fell unconscious from being so weak.
