Unbroken by Anai Gomez (the little red hen read aloud TXT) 📕

The house was exactly the same as when I last saw it. It looked like a medieval castle. It was two stories but wide. The first room we entered was the ballroom. The maid, Sera, walked us to the dining room. My grandparents and my uncle all got up when we entered the room.  I dropped my bag and ran to them.

“God I’ve missed you all so much.” I gave them a group hug.

“ I don’t think you’ve missed us so much. So who’s your friend over there? He looks cut.” My uncle, Dave said. He was only twenty-five and loved embarrassing me.

“Mia adopted him,” was all I said.

“Honey where have you been? Your father came and said you and your mom died a year ago.” My grandmother, Elizabeth, said shedding tears. I let go of them. How dare him come here and act like a caring husband.

“Um. Can we go to the living room there’s something I need to tell you.” Once in the living room I handed my grandfather, Max, my mother’s fifth book. He starts to read. The first few pages are fine until you read the third page. There starts the torture. I handed my uncle my journal. I went back to the kitchen where Tommy and Anthony were at. I took Tommy from Anthony and headed back to the living room.

I handed Tommy to my grandmother. “I’d like you to meet my little brother.” With that the two men put down the journals. Dave looked ticked off. Grandpa Max was crying and Elizabeth was oblivious to what just happened. I took the two journals and motioned both men to follow me. I took them to Max’s office.

Once I closed the door, Grandpa Max attacked my in a hug. “I’m sorry, I should have known.”

“It’s okay. Were fine but mom passed away yesterday from a tumor in her lungs. I need your help?”

“Anything you need we’re here for you,” uncle Dave said.

“I want you to say you found these journals hidden behind my poster at my old house. For all I know my sperm donor thinks we're dead and that Tommy doesn’t even exist. I want to keep it that way. Also were going to bury Mia in her birthplace tomorrow night. It’ll be a full moon I’d love for you to join us.”

“Of curse. We’ll leave tomorrow,” Dave said. Grandpa Max just nodded the whole time.

“One last thing, I don’t want to let Elizabeth know about my sperm donor. “

…………………

The next day we ate breakfast then left. The ride there was quite. Gramps and grams were playing with Tommy. Dave was making phone calls; me and Anthony listen to music.

It was around at Mendocino, California at seven in the afternoon. We decided to have the ceremony at twelve. In the meantime, we went to go see our new house. The whole things were made of one way glass, so in the outside it looks like a mirror. It was three stories high, contained fifteen rooms, a ballroom, a indoor pool, gym and a beautiful back yard. There was a man made pond with a walkway to the center. There stood a roof and a table.

The house was gorgeous and over the top. Everything was furnished, except for the bedrooms. Uncle Dave went into the town for wine and apple cider. We spent the rest of the time saying stories about my mother. We all decided to walk to the pack cemetery. Dave took his guitar. We would sing ‘love will tell us where to go’ by Bridgit Mendler, it was her favorite song.

When we got there, I was the one to bury her. The place was at the top of the mountain. It had a perfect view of the full moon. Usually the whole pack come to see of the member but no one quite knew of my mother’s existence. Once berried and watered a huge tree grows out with the name of the deceased on it. Family members and friend will carve something on the tree. I dug a hole and placed her ashes in there and a seed. I covered the rest of the hole with dirt. I hurried and placed water on top.

I could hear my mothers pack coming closer. I buried my mother were the Alpha and Luna’s were buried. The tree started to grow but not fast enough before the first wolf showed up. My family were a few feet away leaving all the attention on me.

You just made a big mistake, he growled at me.

What do we do know. Protect the tree till the name appears. Then they’ll probably forgive you or just kill you all before that. Thanks for the pep talk.

“Really, I don’t feel like I made a mistake. Why don’t you enlighten me on the subject?” Just keep him busy for an entire minute. Then the ritual would be complete. Well isn’t that just peach.

The wolf just growled and leaped for the tree. I ran grabbed him from the neck and slammed him to the groaned. I was a lot stronger than your average wolf since my mother’s experimented blood ran threw me. I’m like a wolf on steroids. That’s how much stronger and faster I can be from your average wolf.

He looked shocked but before he could react I grabbed him by the tail and threw him to two wolves that had just arrived. Then plenty of more surrounded us. I heard my grandmother gasp. Just thirty more seconds.

Out came a man wearing nothing but short. He was built and much taller then me. He had dark hair and sea blue eyes. He walked right towards me. I did the same not wanting to back down. I never left his gaze and he never left mine. Twenty more seconds.

“Little girl, do you know what you just did?” This must be my mothers adopted brother. So far I don’t like him. Me either.

“Actually I don’t. You see me and my family was just barring one of your pack members in her rightful place. As the true rightful leader, unlike you.” I saw anger in his eyes as they darkened. He raised his hand to hit me but I caught it before it made contact with my skin. Placed his hand behind his back and threw him right in front of the tree, on his knees.

When he lifted his gaze my mother’s true name was written on the tree. Samantha Blackthorn came out in her lovely, cursive, handwriting. Two wolves stepped forward and did this load whimper. They were probably her parents. The rest of the pack joined in.

I walked towards my family and took Tommy from gran's hands. “Let’s go home.” I started to lead them back to the house.

Stop them and take them to the pack house. That came to my grandfather. Two wolves’ appeared right in front of me. I gave Tommy to Anthony and stepped forth.

“I’ll go peacefully but only me. If try to take us all I will fight back and you really don’t want to see me mad. Anthony take them home.”

“You have no right threatening us like if you were even a threat.” My adopted uncle said.

Would you like me to tell everyone that I’m Samantha’s daughter and take your son’s possession as next Alpha because I will if you push me. I said in his head. I smiled sweetly while he had a shocked face, and then covered it up.

“Take the girl only, the rest may go.”

They took me to the basement of the mansion and seat me on a wooden chair. The chair had silver restrains on the hands. One of the men reached for the restrain till I told him, allow me, we wouldn’t want you to get hurt, in his head. He looked dumbstruck.  Oh I’m so going to have fun with these people. I was glad I changed my appearance before we got here. My red hair, dyed to black, my brown eyes, in blue contacts and to top it all off I’m wearing glasses. I even brought her four journals and a photo album of Mia.

I sat there for a few minutes and then entered my grandparents, adopted uncle, his son and the beta. I looked at them one by one but my eyes lingered at his son. His wolf was screaming mate. Me and my wolf just rolled our eyes. We both swore off boys a long time ago.

I was the first to break the silence. “Really the restrains, it’s not like I bite… hard.”

“You’ll have those on until we figure out who you are and what you want.”

I simply smiled. The restrains are loose for my tiny hands. I slipped both hands out and run them thru my hair. “Well, my name is Mia, simplehuman and I want to finish my friend’s last wish and bury her in her home town. Anything else?”

My grandmother stepped forward. “Do you know where she’s been this whole time?” She was at the brink of tears. Her eyes were blue, her hair was blond but her face had the same qualities as her but overall Mia looked like her father.

“I’m very sorry for your loss mam. Here sit down.” I offer her my chair. “I brought photos if you like to see them.” I took the album out of the bag and handed it to her. She opened the album and the tires she was holding back spilled. I got on my knees and whipped the tiers away. I took of my nicklas and handed it to her. It was the one my mother was wearing when taken. “I think you should have this. May I?” She nodded and I got up to place the necklace around her neck. “She never took it off. Said it was like always having you with her.” With that her sob came out lauder.

“What relationship did you have with my daughter?”

“Samantha parents adopted me. The place she was taken to was facility that experimented on both human and werewolves. They mostly took kids young. She was the first to escape but later came back for us.” I took out the four journals and handed them to him. ”These were her personal thoughts. They start from the day she was taken in till she reached the age of twenty-two.  Anything you ever want to know about your daughter is in those books.”

“Here these are from her.” I took
