Chapter 21
Werewolves.
That's what they are.
I just finished putting clothes on after my shower when Tammy knocked on my door and told me to come down and meet her in the living room.
And now here I am. Tammy and two people I don't know, are here.
The woman beside him nodded and smiled.
But I couldn't grasp it. I'm a soldier, plus human. Things like this doesn't matter to me. My job description does not include this.
Nothing sort of fairytales for kids that they scare so they would behave themselves.
It's not my world.
I don't know where to begin honestly. I want to start with my parents but I doubt they know anything about it.
Van cleared his throat. "If you don't want to or can't ask, we will just tell you what we can."
I nodded and waited for them to say what they want me to know.
So she fell out of love. I couldn't blame her, she was not the same as him, she couldn't feel the bond like he did.
I pity the man, he was hollow inside and when she came, that hole was suddenly gone.
What would you do if the only person that fills that hole, leaves you behind?
Instead of the hole being covered, it only grew larger.
??
Suicide. The most cruelest yet peaceful thing to do in a person's life. It depends on the person if its the former or the latter.
It's life, and nothing is guaranteed to be going your way. And some people doesn't have the will to live on thus, taking that road to relieve their suffering.
I witnessed my friend taking her own life because of her parents, and how they were treating her.
She always told me how her life was full of bullshit and I was her only escape. She hates not seeing me even for a day. So when my family went on a trip, I convinced them to let me stay.
They agreed but told me to be responsible. It was a 5 day trip, and I was more than happy to accompany my only friend.
We were having fun, laughing our asses of and drinking till we pass out.
I ran to the store to buy more drinks because we had high tolerance for alcohol only to come home to something I did not expect.
I had left her all alone and when I came back, the smile was instantly wiped from my lips and I collapsed on my knees, losing all my strength.
I couldn't come close and even look at her, I puked because it was my first time seeing a dead body. I didn't have the guts to.
I reported it to the police thinking it was murder, but after a few days of investigating, they told me it was suicide.
She killed herself with a knife, our kitchen knife.
She left nothing, no note, no explanation, nothing.
Her parents were even happy that she was gone, the obstacle, the burden to their lives.
What piece of shits they are.
Also me, for living her all alone in the world she despises.
And I couldn't even say goodbye.
And she did it while drunk, I was stupid enough to leave her even for a minute.
And it didn't even occur to me because I was only 18.
??
I fidgeted in my seat, somehow it's uncomfortable sitting now.
At the end, it was them wanting to survive and facing reality head-on.
I sighed, the purpose of the story was to let me understand their past, their story.
So that if my mind begins to make things up and not trust them, they used this information to convince me they're not the enemy.
I nodded at them.
The man turned to him and glared.
He sure was pissed but still, relieved and happy that his real Beta is now back.
Beta Derek Black, the firstborn of the Black Clan.
Their family was one of the leaders that molded the pack to what it is now.
As gratitude, their family started a tradition, they were titled as, 'Beta' of the pack. It passes down from generation to generation to their firstborn.
The Alpha title was given to whoever defeats the leaders through a fight, and stun them all.
The Beta, The Gamma, and The Delta leaders.
Only then, will they take their place.
And The Alpha's bloodline was the chosen one.
I was still alive, that's for sure. But my braincells may die anytime now if I keep using it continuously.
I rolled around the bed I was in a while ago. Van and Sen, the woman, still continued to convince me that they're friendly and insisted to tell me what they can.
All I could do was just listen.
To top it all of, everything was planned. They knew we were coming, but they didn't expect Kris and I to tag along the plan.
It was suppose to be the elders only but we came among them. It messed up the game pretty quick but Darren was able to handle it.
We weren't suppose to be here but knowing my name, they understood. I was a threat.
To both sides.
They believe that I have the power to take the other side down but the other side, reasons that I am the key to the Alphas downfall, but why?
They didn't know the answer to my question so I told them its time to take a break. I climbed the stairs and here I am.
I tried remembering what happened last night. All I can remember is me collapsing and the flames.
Flames.
Kyle.
My dear brother, Kyle.
The person who I loved the most, and was close to my heart. The person who was there for me when I needed him the most.
The person who was burning inside the house that day and I couldn't come close because the fire was spreading fast.
The person who was dying in front of my eyes and the only thing I could do was watch.
