Booki Chapter7 After all three of them finished eating their pancakes , they all looked up at me . They could tell by the stiff way I was holding myself that I wanted to say something . I am sure that Emma or Jackson figured out the topic I wanted to start with . I mentally braced myself for their annoyance as I asked quickly , What do you think about meeting your fathers ? Ethan exploded , HELL NO ! The bastards rejected you through a motherfucking letter . I have no need to see the assholes who are killing you ! His breath was uneven as he finished his rant . I winced slightly , his words hit home , but I still berated , Language ! My wolf has the next thing to dead . My healing was the same as humans , I had no super strength or speed . I couldnt shift . I was basically a human who knew of the supernatural . I never outright told my pups , but they know . The only reason I wasnt dead is because they never used my name to reject me . I sigh before turning to my two other pups , What do you two think ? Emma shrugged , I want to go see these pathetic Alphas , punch them , then leave . I rolled my eyes as Jackson choose his answer carefully , Eventually Ethan and I will be forced to go and give up the Alpha title formally if we dont want it . Ethan looked at his brother confused , What ? I hugged my pup , There was a reason why you two have no interest in leading the Smith Organization . Its literally in your blood to lead the Blood Moon pack . Emma , for some reason , doesnt have that . Its why she is inheriting the Organization . Even if the two of you give up your right as Alphas , you could never adapt to be the Boss of the Organization . The roles are too similar with key differences . He frowned , Lets just talk about this later , Mom . We just finished the scout assignment and got the next witches to the base . I want to have a family day . Emma nodded , Thats a good idea . How about a walk in the woods as humans ? We havent done that in a long time . My pups were careful to not mention my inability to shirt or let that slow us down . I smiled gratefully , Sure , that sounds fun . There was a nearby Smith Organization base , but we lived in a big house near the woods . Since we are also a human mafia and business , this will make sure if the police gets interested , they wont find our base . There also isnt any huge Hunter bases nearby . We wiped them all out . The closest one was the original Hunter base and was huge . We are trying to take them down , but the Smith 1/4 Organization doesnt have the man power that we want to risk to do so . The Organization is a place of refuge , not attack . We never attack people unless they do it first . We all have to just avoid any Hunters , but no one of them usually come here . Everyone is pretty good at covering their tracks and not getting caught . With the witches covering our scent and power , it would take a lot of luck or any act of a god to let them find us . Soon enough , we were ready to head out to the forest . Everyone had changed into athletic wear that was more comfortable . We started off with a comfortable jog . The silence was blissful and we all listened to the sound of the forest . Its where wolves like that are meant to be . Since my hearing is like a human , I wasnt the one to pick up the oncoming footsteps . No human ventured this far and when my pups froze , I knew that something bad was coming . Through the mind link created by the witches , I asked , Whats wrong ? Emma answered first , Footsteps . At least twenty of them , the vibrations of the floor suggest that they are either heavily armed or on a camping trip . Ethan frowned , I hear the clicking of the bullets entering the chamber of a gun . When the first shot was fired into the clearing where we had stopped , Jackson yelled through the mind link , HUNTERS ! My pups burst into action , dodging the bullets . I followed their lead , but I was human like and got hit once . We took off in a random direction with only the thought of getting away on our minds . I already knew I wouldnt make it . Despite running in a zig zag pattern , I was hit at least twice . My pain tolerance was such that I could keep running , but I was slowing them down . I knew that these Hunters had to have come from the original group . They must be out for a hunting mission to have traveled this far . Either way , we are screwed if they stay with me . I needed to slow down the Hunters for my pups to be able to get away . Technically , I am like these Hunters , human , except they had guns . However , the strength of a mother protecting her pups is stronger than natural law . Making sure that my pups didnt notice , I turned around and shocked the Hunters by ju ing on the nearest one.My wolf burst from her death like state to protect her pups . She wouldnt let them die . It was then that my kids noticed my choice . The mind link was blowing up , yet I pushed them out focusing on the fight . I recognized my surroundings as the one of my old pack . I couldnt resist one last smirk as I fought . I guess the circle of life is real . I was back where I started. The Hunters eventually managed to push me down and I gave my children one last message , Run , only your fathers can help you . I knew they wouldnt abandon me and the Organization couldnt Book1 Chapter7 2/4 help . It would be a suicide mission . I knew that their fathers would make sure that their pups lived even if I knew that I wouldnt survive this night . I felt the darkness tugging on mind and soon I gave into it . I dont know if I would ever leave it again . I smiled as I felt that my pups passed into pack territory where the Hunters wont follow . Perhaps , one day, theyll understand the sacrifices I will always gladly repeat for them out of love .
