chapter 16
Van pov
I knew the power hunters were still out there, they have been trying to get through the guards and the warriors, they think i have betrayed them becoming a werewolf, but i wanted to be this, that was my decision not the other way around, I was outside with Carter we where helping patorl, sometimes we do this to help out, i told Carter if we make them do this then we need to as well to help protect the pack, he agreed, so we shifted into our wolves and ran the territory, when we first heard it the howls and the link of telling everyone rogues and powerhunters were here, we ran as fast as our wolves feet would have us run, my wolf kept growling she wanted to rip the powerhunters apart, how the hell did they get rogues by their side is beyound me, but they did it, they even hated rogues and tried to kill them, when we got there, there where rogues everywhere fighting other wolves, Cody had two killing them both ripping there necks right out, blood was pouring everywhere, but there was one big one, a huge brown wolf that was right behind him, he snuck up close i screamed at him to watch behind him as he was fighting another set of rogues, but the brown wolf shifted into his human side grabbed a long dagger that was dripping with something, he ran at Cody stabbing him in the back and stomach, Cody bit the guys hand right off, ripping at him biting him, he was fading fast, no this could not be happening not Cody he was the strongest one out there. Rushing over there knocking the man off of him my canines bared down the man's throat crushing his windpipe ripping off his head, shifting back to my human form I rushed over to Cody he was gone pulling out the dagger that was in his neck, i smelled what was on it, it was mixed with silver and wolfsbane, i heard other wolves howl when they found others with daggers stabbed inside them, my mate ran over shifting he grabbed the dagger out of my hand because it was burning my skin, i didn't even feel what was happening, i was worried about Callie, we rushed up to the pack house got dressed and ran to her room, we kept knocking i knew Ivory will be a sleep but that didn't matter now, i needed to know if Callie was okay, when she answered the door, she let us inside, i hugged her, she already knew she felt it,
“I am so sorry Callie, they rushed us, they killed several others as well, they are after me, you see i use to be a powerseeker, a creature that didn't look like no other, we could turn into any animal we wanted, when i was fed up with my kind with all the fighting and the power seeking, so i made myself turn into a wolf, the wolf you see me shift into, i was just going to be an animal, but the moon goddess gave me a choice, a chose to stay an animal, or become one of you, but she made me go through my trails, and here i am, i love it like this, it's not always drama but there are only a few that is left, and they want me dead, im sorry Callie they got Cody.” i watched her shake her head as she tried to clean her tears from her face, she set on the bed beside her daugher placing her on her lap,
“How long will they continue to rampage through this pack?”
‘Until i am dead Callie, that's what they want, until either I am dead or all of them are dead,” sighing as she looked at her daughter then back at me, then she made the decision that i thought she would never make,
‘I think i know of a pack that will help, but you must help me hide Ivory, he must not know about her, i'm not even sure what he will do when he finds out about her, that's what i am scared about, if he harms a hair on my child's head, i will kill him and i don’t care if he was once my alpha and mate or not,” it was my turn to think long and harm about this, i looked at Carter, he nodded,
“Ivory, would you like to pretend that i am your mommy for a little bit, we can play hide and seek and eat lots of ice cream, do you think that will be fun Ivory?” i saw the little girl look confused for a minute and then nodded,
{Ivory from a little girl point of view}
I was sitting on mi mommy's lap while everyone was talking, i knew my mommy was crying about that guy Cody that mommy spent time with, somehow someone hurt him really bad and he won't be coming back. what they don’t understand. i understood a lot about these things, i watch i learn, i might not talk much but i know a wholeeeee lot when this Van woman asked me if she could be my pretend mommy and we could eat lots of icecream and play hide and seek, i thought that could be lots of fun, but i couldn't hide the fact that i knew who daddy was, i would have dreams about him when i slept, he looks so sad when he looks at my mommys picture, but if he comes, he better be nice because i will kick him in his knee and punch him in his tummy and tell him to be nice to my mommy, I liked Cody, he was nice to mommy and me, i just don’t know how i am going to feel when i see daddy, i know his voice, but i know his face in my dreams, i guess i will tell mommy now since she is going to invite him here, i'm not sure how i like this at all, but i will find out when i see him, so here it goes will you wish me luck pretty pweese, I have to tell mommy now,
mommy, pwease don’t be scared, but i have to tell you something,” i watched my mommy slowly turn her head smiling at me, i know she was worried and scared for me, my mommy is very protective and i am with her, she just doesn’t know it yet, she will see when i turn 13 years old, she will know everything there is about me, that i am learning alllll on my own,
“What is it, baby girl, are you scared?” shaking my head no i began to tell my mommy all about my daddy,
“you see mommy, when i was in your tummy, i heard daddy’s voice yelling at you too get out, he didn't know about me, im sure if he did he would've kept us, but when I sleep at night, i dream of daddy, he has long hair to his shouldrs and hes rwelly tall he always sad when he looks at your pictore, he tries to smile and i tro to call out to daddy, but he can't hear me because its just a drem mommy, jst givr him a chace mommy, pweeesee, i wnt tell him hes my daddy, i pomise,” i watch my mommy watch me talk, she knows im a lot smarter than younger children are, she nodded at me smiling,
“Honey, you can tell him anything you want okay, but if he tries to hurt you in any way. mommy will hurt him right back okay,” she took a deep breath
“just give me a few minutes to let me figure out what to tell him,”
