My stomach recoiled as I watched Alpha John kill my father. He shook his head violently as my father tried to get free. Eventually, we all heard a crunch and saw my father's body go limp.
I stood there staring at his body as it changed back to his human form. Slowly, I walked up to him and nuzzled his head with my snout with a whine. Max came up beside me and shifted.
"Willow? Are you ok?" he asked, concerned.
I shifted back and knelt. Tears fell from my eyes but it wasn't sadness. With shaking hands, I touched his cheek. My heart felt heavy at the loss but it didn't hurt. After all, like I said, I lost him when my mother died.
"Willow, I'm sorry … I had to, you know he left me no choice," Alpha John sighed, touching my shoulder.
"I know Alpha, it's okay. I lost him a long time ago, I just wish it had been different," I whispered.
"Come on baby, let's go home," Max urged and I nodded.
Max held me as we made our way home. He didn't try to talk to me, he just held me as we walked. My heart lifted a little with how much he cared and understood I needed the silence.
My thoughts all merged into one. My father was dead, and my brother and sister had also lost their parents. I knew I would have to tell them. I just hope they would understand why it had to happen the way it did.

Several hours later, Max came home with the twins. I was sitting nervously at the kitchen table. They walked in and instantly hugged me.
"Why didn't you pick us up today?" Mollie asked.
I gave her a small smile and patted the two spaces across from me whilst Max took the seat next to me. I was grateful for his presence.
"I have something to tell you both. It's not going to be easy but I need you to let me finish before you say anything, ok?"
They nodded whilst tilting their heads curiously.
"Today, after I dropped you off, Father and your mother showed up. They threatened me, and then Max, Alpha John and some warriors showed up to help me."
Ben looked angry, whilst Mollie looked scared. I reached for their hands to reassure them.
"Father demanded that he get back what he lost. He blamed me, Max and Alpha John for ruining everything. He blamed Max for turning me against him."
I took a deep breath as I readied myself to say the next part.
"I asked him what he really wanted and he said, his pack, his money and his reputation."
"So, not us?" Mollie whispered.
"No, I'm sorry sweetie. He only cared about himself. Alpha John told him to leave and not return but he refused."
Realisation dawned on the twins as I paused.
"He's dead isn't he?" Ben asked and I nodded.
"What about her?" Mollie muttered quietly.
"She went to attack Willow, I defended her as much as I could but one of the rogues attacked me. She leapt at Willow and Willow defended herself," Max finished.
They looked at me, then at him before going back to me.
"You killed her?" they both asked.
I opened my mouth but no words would come out, so I nodded.
"She had no choice, it was self-defence. Your mother was going to kill her. After she died, your father raced at us. He was going to kill us too. Alpha John stepped in and killed him. The other warriors took care of the rest of the rogues," Max finished.
My hands were shaking, as tears started to fill my eyes. Goddess, please don't hate me! I chanted in my head. Mollie and Ben stood, walked around the table and wrapped their arms around me.
"It's ok sis," Ben sighed.
"Yeah, we understand," Mollied added.
Instantly, I wrapped my arms around them and the cries finally came out. They held onto me as they allowed me to let it all out, all the pain, sadness and stress.
When I eventually stopped, they knelt in front of me and held my hands.
"We could never hate you, you were the one who looked after us, not her. We will always love you, " Mollie beamed.
"I love you both too," I sobbed.

A few months later.
I'd been feeling a little sick these past few days. Max was concerned and had insisted I go see the pack doctor. I'd brushed him off saying it was just a bug. Though to be honest, I think I knew what it was.
Last week, I went into heat, for the first time. Luckily, the twins had been staying with Bonnie and Max and I were alone.
I felt flush as we sat on the sofa whilst watching some movie he'd put on. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't focus. With a sigh, I decided to give up. I told Max I was going to have a shower.
The cool spray felt good as I stood there. I thought maybe it was just the heat of the living room that had caused it. However, when I went to clean myself I gasped. The soft fabric of the washcloth rubbed against my sensitive breast and it made my core ache.
No matter where I touched, it would send shockwaves of pleasure throughout my body. I thought I was going crazy. After all, Max and I had a healthy sex life. We couldn't keep our hands off each other most of the time.
"Someone is enjoying themselves without me."
I gasped at the deep voice and turned. He must have seen something in my eyes, because no sooner had I turned to him than he was stripping and rushing up to me. His nose grazed my neck and I moaned.
"Baby, you're in heat!" he groaned.
I stared at him with wide eyes.
"Really?"
He nodded and smirked.
"Then take me!" I demanded.
Max wasted no time. He turned me around and kissed me with so much passion, that I almost couldn't breathe. His hands roved over my body, igniting me, before stroking down my ass and in between my legs.
Instantly, I hooked one leg around his waist, pulling him closer towards me and giving him better access to my folds. Max groaned into my mouth as one of his fingers pushed inside my soaking core.
"Fuck, baby! You feel so fucking good!"
"Please Max, I can't wait anymore. I need you now!"
"As you wish!" he smirked, quoting my favourite movie.
Max released me, and I groaned at the loss of contact. Without saying a word, he twisted me back around.
"Put both hands on the wall and stick that ass out for me!" he ordered.
My legs quivered at the commanding tone of his voice. I loved it when he took charge like that. My body shook as I felt him rubbing against me.
"Please, Max!" I moaned.
Without warning, he thrust into me in one motion. I cried out as an orgasm raked through me. He stilled as I rode out the pleasure. Once I had recovered he started pounding into me.
The ferocity of the movements caused my arousal to spike again and I was gasping for air. The slapping sound of our flesh ricocheted off the walls as it filled the small room along with our moans and grunts.
"Fuck, baby! I'm not gonna last… long!"
True to his words, his movements became erratic and jerky. Somehow, it intensified what I was feeling. His cock rubbed against my core with every thrust and sparks of electricity shot through me.
"Fuck!" we both moaned out loud in unison.
He shuddered against me as I felt him shoot jets of hot cum inside me. For a moment I thought about protection but it quickly left my mind as I felt him pull out.
"Come on baby, let's get cleaned up and get to bed. I want to see you ride me all night!"
