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

I started to walk out until someone grabbed my hand. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. “It’s already late outside. Why don’t you stay here for the night.” I lowers my gaze to where the Alpha's son was grabbing me. I think he felt my anger because he took his hand back.

“With all due respect I’ve just lost my only mother two days ago and all I want to do is go home and cry myself to sleep.” The ass hat really thinks I’m staying here. “Goodbye, and nice to meet you all.” With that I just left.

I didn’t know where I was going but I knew he was following me. I decided to head back up the mountain. Why don’t we just push him off a cliff while we're there. I don’t know about you but killing the Alpha’s son on his territory is just plain stupid. Fine we won’t kill him, for now.

When I got there I headed up to her tree. I could see that some people had already written stuff down. I wrote under her name in the same thing on her box. ’Not even death can kill you, since you’ll always live in my heart.’

“You must have really loved her.”

“For the longest time in my life, she was the only thing keeping me alive.” I didn’t even turn around to look at him. I leaned my whole body on her tree.

“So what’s kipping you alive know?”

“That’s something I have to figure out.” I slid my whole body down the tree, till I was sitting. I look up and see the stars through her branches. I felt him sit next to me but I wasn’t going to acknowledge him. I could feel his eyes on my. “What do you want?”

“I just wanted to make sure you were ok.”

“I’m fine I just really want to be left alone with my thoughts.” And far away from you.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Where I’m going to go from here.” Possibly far away from here.

“Why don’t you stay here?”

“I don’t think you would really want that.” I know I don’t.

“Why would you think that?”

“Because I’m the Blackthorn’s only blood decedent and that’s not good for your position in the pack. Plus I already don’t want to be here, it bring back a lot of bad memories.”

“What kind of memories?”

“The ones that leave scars and nightmares, which make your whole body, shiver from just remembering. The kind that are always in the back of your head and never truly let you be free. Always making you look behind you shoulder. Ones that won’t let you trust anyone, not even you or my grandparent.”  That would make you wish you were dead. After that I was speechless. He was having a conversation with his wolf. I really didn’t care so I just blocked him out.

My father once took me to the facility a few miles away from here were my mother was taken. He had fun using all their toys on me. I was a year with him. The only thing that made me not care how long we spent there was that he was far away from my mother.

“I have to go.”

“Will I ever see you again?”

“Maybe,” or not.

It's the start of summer and the next school semester I have to attend as a senior. It's mostly to take all the classes I couldn't attend in independent studies. The only problem with that is Adam goes to school there, my adopted uncle’s son. I only met him once and thought it would be fine to erase his memories. The facility my mother and I were kept in created a serum to let their patients forget what has happened in the past few days.

I used to use it on my mother when my father did something major to me. I think the worse thing than to see yourself almost die is to see your own daughter go through it. It was the only thing good I found when my father took me there. When I ran out of it, I used spells. My blood contained so much DNA in it, that some of it was for witches. I also had vampire, dragons and many others that I still haven't found. You can say I was a supernatural freak, nothing and everything at the same time.

Anthony went to meet with Richard Vasquez the first week we were here. Richard Vasquez is the son of Victor Rodriguez. He was the one to help my mother escape. Anyways my mother had contact him and had him use her old blood samples to transform Anthony into a werewolf. Ever since then me, Anthony and Hector have been training to become stronger.

Hector is Richards’s son and Anthony’s best friend. The Vasquez lives in the pool house I build on my property. His mother, Stephanie, helps me with the chores around the house. Richard has become our house doctor and I fund his hospital.

I finally shifted into my wolf. I named her Red because that was my fur color. I looked like an oversized fox but it wasn't always like that. When I first shifted, my wolf was pure white and soon turned into a bloody red.  Richard said that my fur color was very unique. My wolf special ability is to adjust to the background, making me invisible. I can also hide my human and wolf scent making it impossible to spot me. When I really concentrate, I can mimic someone sent and heart beat. Anthony is stronger than all of us but I can easily take him down. Hector is faster than light and Richard also has strength but Anthony’s stronger.

Richard believes since I’m full werewolf, my abilities are better. I’m almost as strong as Anthony, almost as fast as Hector and my sight and smell is better than there is. Next year we’ll find out what Tommy can do. He’s four but don’t underestimate him. Like me, he can hear what werewolf think. Just like a mind link. I try to avoid taking him places where there’s a lot of werewolves because that just leaves you with a massive migraine.  Even though he’s little I already have him training. Richard shows him weak spots to easily take down our opponents.

The house and land my mother gave us started right at the border line of the Blackthorn pack. I made a deal with the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack. They're known for being violent and bloody.  I think the Alpha’s is known to kill first and ask questions later. I sold him weapons to fight off the vampires. The only things that can kill vampires are obsidian. It’s a rare stone found in Australia. I own my own personal mine there.  He gets first pick and he and his men will leave my land alone.

My dear uncle the only one that knows I’m ‘Samantha’s’ daughter and we keep in touch. He may be a total prick but I do care for the wellbeing of my grandparents. Plus he has this cute little daughter the age of Tommy. I go visit at least once a week but during school time. I really don’t want a run in with his son. During summer I always take the two of them to amusement parks or even vacations to other countries. Uncle Jeremy Blackthorn knows to stay on my good side.

I still don’t trust him so I have someone spying on him. Every move he makes I know of.  Like a few months ago he sold a few of his pack to the slave trade. I wasn’t that mad since I was the one who bought them. It was Abraham, Brooke, Derek, Kim, and Liam. They were within the ages of seventeen to twenty. Those are the ones that cast more.

They’re currently living with me.  I have them on independent studies with me and next year they start school with me. Liam is twenty and is going to attend community college.  I want to see the look on Jeremy’s face when he sees them. He told the whole pack that they died in a rogue attack. I have them training with Anthony. They were the packs weakest links. I tend to make them the strongest.

Hunter, Jeremy’s son, is currently dating the school's head cheerleader. He’s the captain of the school’s football team. Anthony says he’s a jerk that likes to belittle people. Dodged a bullet there.

Anthony likes to consider us our own little pack but I like to consider us as a trib since we're less territorial. We each have the same tribal tattoo on the side our arm. It’s simple and goes around all the way and stands for warrior. Both packs know to leave alone. We don’t have a name because we’re not a pack. We all belong to the Blackthorn pack, even if I’m the only one who knows it.  Anthony, Hector, and I are the ones who drive away most of the vampires and hunters that dare try to attack my kind and the ones shrouding us. Everyone knows it's Hector and Anthony but I’m the mysterious third one. The rare red wolf with no cent or heart.

Most of the surrounding packs know me as Red and fear and respect me. I’ve contacted them to know that if they ever need anything I’m a phone call away. Most werewolves are very territorial and only care for their packs well being but I know how it feels to go through hell and no one deserves to. To yell and have no one help you, and to know that they all heard your screams and pleas for it. I try to help most people in anything that I can. I’ve invested in so many small companies that have become giant corporations that I have enough money to last for generations.

Most people have seen me around with them but consider me to be a dump little human they hang out with. If only they knew I can hear their thoughts. I never go around the other near packs. I love keeping myself a mystery to all and be an open book to a few.

.....................

Today we're all going out to dinner. Even the werewolves that my uncle sold to the slave trade. They’re going to start school next year so might as well start letting people see them. We made reservations for the new restaurant in town. The guys want to celebrate their return from ‘death,’ since that’s what Jeremy told everyone. Also my dear uncle and his family would be there. I want to see the look on his face when he sees us.

Our reservations were at seven just like his and our tables were next to each other. The girls wore dresses while the gays wore tux. We all decided to wear black. Even Tommy dressed up. We took the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro, and  2015 Scion FR-S. When we arrived my uncle
