~Chapter 2~

Kirael's PoV

I was ordered by the Alpha to help in the infirmary. Since there were a lot of wolves who had gotten injured while fighting against the Alpha King. When I heard our Alpha talking to his pack warriors as we're exiting the dungeon. He said that the Alpha King came without reason, but I doubt it. He's been into something illegal, ever since he did that to my mother.

"Kirael" Alpha Jim said to get my attention.

"What is it Sir?" I ask meeting his eyes.

"You'll be stationed at the infirmary. I don't want your mother dragging you into a hole that's six feet under. Understood?" The Alpha commanded.

"Yes I understand Sir" I bowed at him. Even if he's my father, our relationship is the same as master and servant. The Alpha gives orders and I simply obey it.

When we got out of the dungeon. The blazing sun greeted us. As I observe my surrounding, it appears that our pack was losing. There's a lot of casualities, some are dead, some were injured. Women and children are weeping for their beloved.

I quickly head off to the infirmary and told my mom what was happening. Although I didn't inform her that our pack was losing. It be great if our pack lost in this chaos. I can make use of their distraction to save my mom.

For years, they've tortured my mother. Killing them is not enough to pay for what they've done to us. If I were given a chance, I would like to slit the throat of the man who did this to Mom. Though I obey what he says and act like an ignorant child in front of him. I've been actually planning on how to become strong, so that one day I can at least scratch his face.

The war carried on and a lot of people also seek medical assistance. I've been running in circles, following what was instructed by the doctors and nurses. We were so busy that we didn't knew what happened next. An unforseen explosion occurred. Most of the injured we're treating died due to the large scale blast. I plunged into a nearby wall. My visions are getting blurry, I feel so hopeless. Is this how I will leave my Mother? No! I can't let this happen. I tried standing up, but was not able to. Bowing down my head blood trickled from it. My knees giving up. Seeing the situation, it appears that I was unlucky enough. A menacing person appeared before me. Looking up from the person's toe up to his face and his gaze. It seems that he's the Alpha King Cassius Darakin.

"This child needs to be healed" King Cassius said. His tone full of power and authority. Instantly, there were medics who were attending me.

"What is your name kid?" He ask in discretion, not wanting to scare me.

"My name is Kirael, Sir" I said in a lively manner. There was a faint smile in his face.

"How old are you?" The King ask me again.

"I am six years old"

"Where's your mom and dad? Are they injured?" The King look around in search for my family.

"My mother is not here..." It was all I could answer him.

"Did the Alpha hire a rogue child like you to particpate in this war?" My eyes widen at his question.

I shook my head and answered. "No...no...no Sir. Its not like that. My mother and I were part of this pack but...they set us aside." Honestly telling him our situation.

"How about your Father? Is he dead?"

"Ah...uhmm I'm sorry but I can't tell you who my Father is. He might kill my mother."

"What if I save you and your Mother? Will you tell me know who your Father is?" The King ask and I was taken aback by his offer.

"Really? You will save my mom!"

"Yes if you take up my offer." The King of the wolves proudly say.

"Okay I will trust your words Sir." I look up him with a wide grin. "Truthfully, my father was the Alpha of this pack".

"What the fuck?!" He blurted out. His eyes turned into black, meaning he's mad about something.

"Did I somehow offend you Sir?" I mumbled. He immediately said no and I continue to tell him about what happened to me and my mom. I told him everything I know of, without missing any details. Starting from when my Mother's family was killed and that she was captured by the Alpha of our pack. I even told him that my my mother was forced to become a rogue after giving birth to me, since there was already a Luna in our pack and they saw mother as a threat giving birth to a son. I've also inform him how my mother was tortured in my stead. How they've injected wolfsbane to my mother and whip her back 'til it bleed. Letting him know that all my mother see, is darkness.

While I divulge him about our story. I can see how he's getting furious. Was it out of sympathy? That he ask a child like me about my unhappy stories. Or is it because he's bored since he's done shedding so much blood.

The thing that surprised me the most was when he ask me this. "Do you want to kill the Alpha of the Strong Winds Pack?" Seeing how his eyes glint in wickedness.

With a stoic face I give him an answer. "I would love to do that Sir!"

He ruffled my hair and said. "You're a great kid. Brave enough to protect your Mom."
