Silence woke me up.
i looked over to the bed only to find Ethan still sleeping peacefully . he will turn 10 in couple of weeks.
time sure flows quite fast .
i still remember when i first found him.
- 5 years ago -
few step more , and we will be out of this mess . i told my wolf again and again. we both were tired and didn't had much strength left.
i hadn't eaten anything from last four days and all i am doing is running and fighting . i was on run from the bunch of rogues. they are so fixed on me like a glue. i know i am beautiful but isn't it too much . i mean let a small innocent child live her life peacefully .
"you stole their food and kill few of their people. what do you expect from them? Give you moon and stars and let us go? " my wolf spoke up.
yes. i almost forgot. those stupid rascals were talking about selling me. so i just finished them in a way that now not even their organ are in shape for selling.
i was near the territory of blue stone pack .
i looked around towards the pack border but weirdly there were no guards. i decided to hide their for a while until the rogues give up on me.
sigh. i knew their luna .
she was wounded that time and rogues were after her . i helped her and in return she wanted me to come with her to her pack . so i ran away while she was unconscious not wanting to engage in any pack . i know it's good to be in a pack but not for me .
i grew up in wilderness, no one to look after me, no one to fight for me and protect me and no one to love me plus accepting the fact that i am the one that every single wolf pack is after...some for the name that comes with killing me . some to capture me and make me their own killing weapon and some to sell me
what do they think of me ? an in-sale product of h&m .... everyone wants to sell me ! never mind.
i silently followed after the luna to make sure she reaches safely to her pack .
later i heard some rumors that their alpha is looking for girl around 13 years , with forest green eyes and hazel brown hair.
that was the last time someone knew how i look like and i left them alive since they have no idea of who i am .
i stepped inside the pack border and still no one in sight. after running for few more minutes my steps halted as i was taken back by what i saw ....it can be called a worse than a deadly nightmare for some.
there were dead bodies of rogues and the pack member .blood was covering for what once used to be beautiful green land of flowers . pack houses were on fire . i didn't wanted to enter but i did in thought of that lady i saved back then.... i didn't wanted any harm coming to her. she reminds of a mother i never had . who wanted to protect me as her pup .
i masked my scent as i silently and quietly made my way to what seemed like a alpha's wing . i was good in hiding. it's generally difficult for anyone to find me until i want to show myself . i skipped few rogues as my wolf wasn't in any condition to fight. i knew leaving them alive would result in death on either side but let's be honest - 'death is now like an old friend to me' .... i have killed countless people and i am just 14 and people die one way or the other. death is inevitable .
"but you can save them " my wolf replied back.
"i don't get into fight which aren't mine !"
i replied her back in an emotionless tone. ... looking at my own self i was filled with injuries. injuries which would have killed a normal wolf by now . though i knew if i continued further i am sure the result won't be same but putting my whole existence into risk isn't on my to do list for the day.
so i silently walked towards to what felt like a long way completely filled with the scent of blood . it was weird. their were three scents one from rogues, second of the pack members of blue stone pack but whose is this third one from. it wasn't good instead the smell was worst like something is rotten. my wolf senses are much stronger and faster than any other wolf ... which was why this smell was giving me headaches ... i made my way out to the house unable to stand in the scent anymore but as soon as i could step out i heard a voice of someone screaming.
it was hers. i made my way back to the stairs to the upper room . their were five rogues all their eyes were white . i mean the whole eye ball was white.... no colour in the iris , the luna was down ,not dead yet but soon will be ....as i took her frame...., her eyes landed on me than to the boy i didn't even realized was there . i sighed knowing what she meant . he was surrounded by the five rougues , crying looking at his mother .she must have taken the blow which was meant for him and sacrificed herself .
a loud growl errupted from me which made their head snapped at me.... as i closed my eyes before giving the control to my wolf.... i mentally prepared myself thinking this might be my last fight .
surprisingly within a minute i was surrounded by five dead bodies . my wolf crawled back to the back of my mind giving me the full control . she was hurt and angry.. i knew she killed them all .
my eyes turned back from red to forest green again .
there were new injuries on my arm and i had a broken rib . i didn't knew what i was doing as i brought my hand forward for the little boy . he slowly grabbed my hand making our way to his mother.
"you're late" she smiled continuing "...take him away , far away from here please protect him like you did with me "
she smiled again but this time it was filled with sadness and with all she had for last time . she took out her pendant which was made of two rings handed out to the boy and a photgraph to me .
confused. i took it hesitantly stuffed it in the pocket as i carried the boy... he was reluctant to leave but i dragged him away knowing that it will be her last breath any second now and i don't want a child to witness the death of his mother .
i carried him as he clawed his nail on my back , throwing punches with his little hands all onto me . i knew he is blaming me for leaving his mother there to die , not helping her but i didn't spoke a word knowing it will be better if he blames me than on himself. i heard a loud and painful growl realising it's from alpha and the pain in it is because the luna is dead .
---present----
i silently moved out of the bed as i made my way out . it's been 5 years since then . i took a last glance at ethan as i walked out of the room tiptoeing and went downstairs to the glass doors making my way towards the sofa in the yard .
i shivered a little as a fresh cold breeze hit me .
i sat down on the couch grabbing for my cell phone . it was 5am and i had 597 new mails .
it's been few days, i haven't went through my mail. did i forget to mention my profession ?
my alter intro - " I am night . the number 1 deadly assassin alive. "
i kill people on other parties demand and in return i get money . this is the only thing i am good at. killing. i am doing this from the moment i was born.
fighting for my life.
. soon many packs alpha's wanted me to kill for them so i made it a work of give and take. i kill for them and in return i get money.
i know i am worst but i need money to survive . To send ethan to school and fed him and myself .
he still hates me for 5 years ago and i am sure if not for his mother's last words he better would have left and run during these last 5 yrs .
situation worsened few months back when i came back injured almost half dead.
it was the alpha king ,i don't know how but he almost tracked me down .
and before his royal guards kill me or captures me. i killed them , all of them . they were many and well trained which is why i was left injured .
i had never killed wolves from pack unless they attacked me which had happened only few times . i only had killed rogues and few from other species on demand .
though it doesn't makes me a less evil person .since in those uncountable deaths, there were many who were innocent.
i had to kill those royal guards before they reach to ethan through me.
i went through the mails to choose which one to do next. i do it by choosing the digits. since, if i am taking a life, it should be worth the money . i thought to myself
"no amount is worth someone's life " ...my wolf spoke .
"i know . i'm sorry for trying to survive "
"there are many other ways to survive " she replied again .
"they will come for us eventually. we can't hide for long so i need to be prepared to fight and since we can't stay at one place for long . let me just do it this way. this is the only thing we know "
she didn't spoke another word and kept quiet .
i continued with the mails and a number caught my attention.
" 50 million dollars."
the only catch was that this death note is for the almighty
Alexander Valencia Anderson , the Alpha King.
