[WARNING: This chapter contains some pretty messed up things. I really hope none of my readers have gone through what will happen in this chapter but if any of you did then just know I am here to talk to
you]
Jayda's POV
I was currently having lunch with Nikki, Ellie was somewhere with her mate Kyle.
We were having a normal-ish conversation, Nikki looked like she had been wanting to tell me something for the past week but she never did, she had been avoiding me and Ellie so I was surprised when she invited me to go out for lunch, it surprised me even more when she told me not to tell Eli about it.
"I need to tell you something" Nikki mumbles and I put my fork of spaghetti down, wiping my mouth with a napkin I ask "What happened?"
Her eyes start watering and her lips tremble "I don't think I will ever be able to give Luke pups"
My chest clenches painfully "What do you mean?"
Nicole takes a deep breath "I have been trying for so long, they keep telling me I have a chance but I've been trying for so long and nothing. I do everything they tell me." Nikki breaks, tears streaming down her face.
I quickly stand up and wrap my arms around her tightly. "Who are they?"
"The doctors, I take all the medicine they give me, I go to all the checkups. I hate him, i hate him so much. Its all his fault I would be happy if it wasn't because of him. He ruined me" She sobs on my shoulder, whispering the last part.
Him? Who is him?
"Nikki who are you talking about? Who 'ruined' you?" I ask, Feeling immediate anger at the thought of someone hurting not only my friend, someone who I consider family but also someone from my pack. Nikki pulls away slightly "Do you promise not to tell anyone? Not even Ellie. I am telling you because you are the closest thing I have to a sister and I know I can trust you"
I nod, I wouldn't have told anyone else anyway. It's her secret not mine.
She looks away and starts talking:
*Flashback 4 years ago. Nikki's POV*
"Hey Uncle Leo, have you seen mom and dad? I've been looking for them" I ask the pack's Beta, Leonardo.
"Last time I saw them they were with your brother, but that was a few hours ago" Beta Leonardo tells me with a smile.
I smile back "Thanks, I'll go see if they are still with Maddox"
I make my way through the stone path. From a far I see Maddox's tall but lanky form.
He was laughing and joking with A few of his friends.
"Hey Maddox" I call out to my 18 year old brother.
"Hey Nikki" My dear older brother greeted with a smile, slinging his arm around my shoulder and walking us away from his friends.
He is always smiling, the day you see him in a bad mood will be the day hell freezes over. Some people criticized that. Saying he had to be tough if he wanted to be alpha but I disagree.
I know even with his kind and easy going behavior he will be a great Alpha.
"Have you seen mom and dad?" I ask.
Maddox nods, his shaggy hair moving to his forehead. Almost reaching his eyes, he needs a haircut.
"I saw them about 2 hours ago, they said they would be going for a walk. I'm going patrolling in about 30 minutes if you want wait a little bit and come with me patrolling so you don't have to walk through the woods by yourself since you haven't shifted yet" Maddox says, he is always being protective over me. We are really close, most siblings are always fighting but not us. We never fight, the most we do is argue about what movie to watch.
Shaking my head I answer with a wide grin "No thanks, just meet us there when you are done. I have big news"
"Tell me now" He tries to sound stern but the corner lifts up.
I giggle "Nope"
He pouts "please"
I shake my head still giggling "Nope, you'll have to wait"
"But I don't wanna" Maddox whines.
"Too bad, now bye I need to find mom and dad. Don't forget to come" I remind him.
"Fine" he sighs and kisses the top of my head.
He walks back to his friends and I make my way to the Alpha house and into my room so I could change into proper footwear. I was wearing flip flops and my feet will surely suffer I walk through the woods in them.
Putting on some sneakers, I apply some bug repellent and tie my black hair in a high ponytail.
After I am done I make my way out of the house and into the woods.
I start looking around the wood in wonder, I really loved going into the woods. Watching the different animals in their natural habitat. The colorful birds, the bugs that could essentially kill me it was all perfect. After about 15 minutes of walking I was already panting, I can't wait until I shift so I can effortlessly run around.
I keep walking at a steady pace. I grin at the thought of the paper burning a hole in my back pocket.
It was an acceptance letter to Walker's Academy in England. Both Anna and I had applied last summer and got accepted for their program. I would be able to finish High School there while training with the best fighters in the continent. They would fly me out to England and I would live in a dorm and probably get the cool British accent I have always wanted. Anna and I always joked about it, she said that hopefully if we lived in England long enough we would get the fancy British accent instead of having out boring American accent.
My thoughts are interrupted by a scream I quickly recognize as my mother's.
I start running towards where I heard the scream, stumbling and tripping over roots and rocks. I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings, all I had in my mind was get to my mom, and do whatever I could do to help her, which wasn't really much since I had yet to shift into my wolf.
When I finally reach a clearing I sigh in relief. I see my parents sitting against a tree, my mom's head resting against my father's shoulder and both of them were looking in front of them.
Realizing they must be really into their day dream to not hear my loud wheezing and panting I walk towards them.
"And Nicole has arrived with very good, very great news" I said loudly in a terrible British accent that ended up sounding a mix between Indian and Spanish.
I was expecting them to snap out of it and smile at me like they always do but their bodies stay frozen.
I frown, they never really ignore me. Are they upset about something?
I start walking towards them and sigh "Hey, I'm sorry if I did something to upset you guys I didn't..." I trail off when I finally get to them.
What the hell? i think confused.
"What the heck? I say aloud, they didn't like it when I cussed.
My parents where still in the same position they were when I arrived at the clearing but they were both looking at me with wide, panic filled eyes.
"What happened? Why are you guys like that? Is this a mate thing?" I ask, my throat closing up making my voice come out hoarse. What is happening to them?
My mom just looked at me up and down as if checking for injuries, while my dad looked from me to where I had come from as if telling me to leave.
I shake my head. "What happened to you guys?" I shout, my freaking out had gone to a whole new level.
Approaching both of my parents I grab my mom's shoulders and shake her same with my dad. "stop looking at me like that and tell me what is wrong.
I then see a tiny drip of blood at the side of each if their necks.
Before I could question it any further hands wrap around my ponytail and roughly pull me back making me gasp out a scream.
I start wildly hitting the guy and struggling against him. He grabs both of my hands in one of his and covers my mouth with the other then turns to my parents. "So this is the daughter?" He asks with a chuckle then turns back to me.
"Stop fucking screaming" He yells, his nasty breath hitting my face, making me yell louder.
If he wasn't so dirty, maybe if he brushed his teeth and took a shower of two then he would look like a good looking guy. He was around my parents age and his eyes screamed evil.
"I told you to shut the fuck up" His hand leaves my mouth and punches me hard in the face.
I choke out a sob and start kick my legs out wildly hoping to do some damage.
I somehow on of my hands from his tight grasp and poke both his eyes with my fingers, making his hands instantly leave me and go to cover his eyes.
"Ouch, you fucking..." He trails off but I am already aways from him and running towards my parents.
"Help, somebody help!!! I scream out hoping someone heard, grabbing my mom and dad's hands I try to pull them towards me and get them out of here but it was all to no avail. They were too heavy for my small form to pull.0000000
