Angels POV
.
.
.
I was playing with the other kids and running around screaming while a little wereboy with ash white hair was chasing me around for tag you're it.
Soon enough we changed the game to hide and seek and I'm an absolute pro at it since I can just clumsily fly into a tree and hide.
I was running to my usual hiding spot because they never find me but before I could reach it I was tackled to the ground.
At first I screamed then started to laugh because I knew that eventually I'd get caught and my winning streak would end but that was until I felt the excruciating pain in my back.
I screamed so loud my ears started to ring. I turned around and all I saw was red. My vision started going blurry and I looked to the side and let out one last blood curdling scream as I saw my wing laying on the ground not even attached to me.
Before I blacked out i was flipped over and I saw a man I only ever saw in my dreams. This man…
He let out a growl and bent down and bit into my stomach, ripping and shredding at everything like I was the only food he's had in weeks.

Nathaniel's POV
As soon as I left I heard Angel scream. I linked all of the warriors to find her and shifted into my wolf form to find her. I picked up on her scent and smelled a massive amount of blood as well.
Her screams stopped and I soon heard other wolves growling and snapping of jaws.
I make it to the clearing that Angel and her friends usually go to to play and I found what looked like a bloodbath.
Two other children were found dead.
"What's going on what happened?" I mind-linked my beta.
"This fucker with green hair breached the border somehow. We don't know where Angel is at. But her blood is everywhere! He ran off with her as soon as we showed up."
I was livid. Two breaches in one day!
"Alpha…he tore her wing off." Jeffery; who watches over Angel, was laying down in wolf form whimpering and beating himself up while her wing lay there near his face.
"Find her! He couldn't have gotten too far with her." I roared out.

It took a good 15 minutes but we managed to track them down in a nearby cave.
As soon as we found them my warriors tore that green fucker to shreds. But it wouldn't be any justification for what he did to my little girl.
I shifted back and knelt down and broke down at the sight of my poor angel.
My wolf howled in agony for her.
"Fuck!" I sob out.
I try to pick her up but realizing that she's still alive makes me feel relief but it's short lived when she moans out in pain.
"It's okay my flower it's ok. Daddy's here now. You're gonna be ok." I softly say to her.
I linked the pack doctor and an operation room was being set up as soon as we got her back for emergency surgery.
My mates child is dying and so much is being kept from her.
I won't keep one thing from her.
.
.
.
We got Angel back to the pack house and I told them we are going to go grab my mate because Angel was her mother and she should be there to support Angels recovery if she makes it.
I saw Fang speed away and his eyes go fire orange when he saw Angel mutilated in my arms.
"She's already unstable. You sure you want to traumatize her even more?" He queries in my mind.
I let out a low growl.
"Do not question my motives leech!" I growl out
and enter the room.
I already know she's been through so much. Way too much for someone so young. But unlike her other mate I never want to hide anything from her.
She was sitting there in a daze and I already feel bad about all of this.
Before I say anything to let her know I'm there I notice the other mark on her neck just barely below mine.
I somewhat feel her emotions but not entirely but I know she's feeling a bit guilty for how she had been marked by her other mate Fang.
"You shouldn't feel bad for your decision…." I start off slowly.
"You wanted to be marked by both your mates. It's only natural." I say mentally preparing for her reaction.
"However there are other matters to be discussed as well." I cast my eyes down as Angel is brought in and her scream shatters my heart.
Bright green flames burst from her body and she let out another cry and fell to her knees.
I rushed to her knowing the fire could hurt me and held her as she cried.
"I know you're hurting but she's still alive. Please calm down! I need you to be strong right now. Please I need you to come to the pack doctor with me." I begged her.
Not waiting for an answer I picked her up bridal style and linked the others to take Angel to the doctors for emergency surgery while my mate burned me from agony. Everything in our wake burned behind me.
"I'm sorry I'm so sorry." I keep repeating to her as my flesh burns off and grows back. I'll be fine tho. Nothing compares to how she's feeling right now.

Six grueling hours later…a short time but an eternity of pain and suffering.
The doctor came out of the operating room and I immediately stood up startling Midnight who started to cry again given the circumstances.
"How is she?" I ask hoping for the best.
He lets out a deep sigh and a grim expression overtakes his features.
"We all did our best, but with the extent of her injuries; the surgery did not go to well. She's fallen into a coma but I'd prepare for the worst alpha. She is after all not one of us." With that being said he walked off and I sat down with my head in my hands; Midnight a sobbing mess beside me.
.

.
.
I picked my mate up and carried her back to my room to lay her down since she's passed out from all the crying.
I was surprised that everything wasn't burnt to a crisp and looked like it hasn't been destroyed.
I'm going to get with the pack doctor again and see about helping Midnight with all her trauma and suffering. She's definitely been through a lot and needs a lot of help, love, and patience.
The fact that she's being put through more and more with no time to even cope or heal has me angry with those bastards.
Especially Fang. He's hurt her the most and he will eventually pay.
"Alpha Whiteclaw we need to talk. It's urgent and concerning Angel." The pack doctor linked me.
I rushed off to the pack doctor and barged in with hopefully good news.
The doctor looked up and ushered me into Angels room where all the monitors were blaring.
"The strangest thing happened this morning as we've had her on a 24 hour watch to keep up with her progression. Concerning Angel; her hair grew out and turned white, as for her wing that was still attached, it fell off just moments ago and all the machines started going crazy. And that's not all…"
He paused and handed me a clipboard which I promptly looked at.
"This is her blood work?" I say confused.
"Yes. It seems that…in some way her body is changing to that of a werewolf. I don't even know how this is possible but it's the most curious thing ever." The doctor says with a glint in his eye.
"Most curious indeed." I say with an undercut to my voice.
"Let me know of any other changes and we'll proceed from there." I say as he vigorously nods his head. "Another thing; concerning my mate, I'd like to have a psychological evaluation done on her for her trauma and pain. She needs help and hasn't had the best companionship or help."
"Your mate? Oh alpha congratulations! Of course I'll get right on it and see what I can do. Have her here in the afternoon tomorrow and we'll go over everything." I said my thanks to him and walked over to my daughter and kissed her forehead sending a silent prayer to Mother Selene to keep her safe.
It is most curious indeed. Angels turning into a werewolf. But why?
I walked out of the pack doctor and decided to go check back on my mate. Her pain is affecting me and I want to be there to sooth it away.
I made my way past the villages some waving and saying hello while others were running around playing. A typical day for us here.
I made it back to the pack house and headed to my room where I found Midnight in a state that stopped my heart.
Her hair…her eyes… why is she levitating off the bed asleep? She looks like Angel but older…could this be what's going on with Angel as well?
Then I smelled it.
I rush over and see the blood that was pooling on the bed.
My heart started to shatter and my wolf howled in agony at the sight of our mate who ended her life from the pain she couldn't take anymore.

FANG and SHADOWS POV
.
.
.
"What the fuck is wrong with you???! Why'd you set that fucker loose?!!!" Fang bellowed out to Shadow.
All Shadow did was look at Fang and out of frustration to the lack of response; let of a feral growl to which Shadow rolled his eyes to.
"You expect her to be strong but you're forgetting the fact that she's just a goddamn child! Did it ever dawn on you that you and Ari are both putting her through too much? She wasn't supposed to ever come back to the underworld and what did you do?! You killed off the only family she's ever known and snatched her away from everything within a blink of an eye and expected her to be ok with it???! I'm only opening her eyes to who you really are!" Shadow stated puffing out his chest.
"I've sat on the sidelines way too long. You had your fun with her but she needs to heal and gain stability before she can even fight back Chen and take back her rightful throne. Even then; do you really think she'll choose to stay here? We're all monsters who tainted her and-" Shadow grabbed the sides of his head and let out an ear piercing scream that awoke every shadow. Translucent blue orbs and spirits started spiraling everywhere out of control. Fang; never seeing his brother like this reached out to help and he too stopped and let out a screech, he fell to the floor as the mating mark from Midnight started to agonizingly burn at his neck.
"NOOOO! No no no no!!!! AAAAAGH!" Shadow screamed out as Fang felt numbness taking over.
Midnight made all of them pay. She marked Fang; the one who hurt her the most, knowing if she ended it all, Fang will feel everything. Two people, she did not mean to hurt them; she couldn't take the unbearable pain anymore but she did what she had to do so she could ultimately heal.
Fang let out a cold hearted laugh as he felt the bond with his little flower sever as he was no longer bound to that little brat.
He'd make her his queen and she'd have all the heirs he wanted.
Blood bubbles from Fangs mouth and he continues to laugh.
Shadow finally stopped screeching and lay there feeling at peace and let out a soft smile.
She's safe now.
Shadow thought to himself.
Shadow and Midnight planned out everything.
After she was raped, she wanted to get away and sever whatever bond she had with his brother. So Shadow stopped time when he was tending to her and showed her everything she needed to know.
Including the fact that he too was her mate. In the end she broke down crying knowing she'd remember everything no matter what. But in the end; Midnight would be free from all emotional and mate ties so she could heal.
All this time Shadow feared that Midnight would hate him but she understood why he stepped back. And because of him stepping back to let her figure everything out, she left her mark on him. Not a mating mark, but one from her heart and soul.
As for her child Angel; she has a huge role to play in everything to come.
She has the gift.
The gift of the midnight flower.
She is everything and anything…
A direct descendant from from the first queen of the underworld.
