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

“Welcome to the family Crystal.” Before I can take this investigation further my phone rang. There were vampires in a nearby pack.  I always get these. Most packs know to call me and would rather I face the threat then their men. I don’t mind, it’s great exercise. “We got to go. Dr. Vasquez you’re in charge. Show our new members to their rooms.” I, Anthony, Hector, and Drake got up. I turned to Drake and said, “You’re not invited.”

“Sorry direct orders,” he said with a smirk.

“Okay but if you get lost, come back to this house.” Poor guy won’t be able to keep up.

We're running to the Shadow pack. It seems that rogues, hunters, and vampires are all targeting them. They must want something really bad since you can't even get them in one room without chains and a lot of anastasia. I didn't wait for Hector or Anthony to catch up. The Shadow pack lived right on the border of Canada, which means I can help. Anything pass the Canadian border is the vampire territory. It didn't take me long to get there.

The seen made my blood boil. There were a few wolves trying to hold back an army but what made me more angry was the smell. Of course my sperm donor would be behind this cruelty. I stripped my clothes and turned into Red. I was a male size wolf while all the female wolves are slightly tinier than them. I wasted no time to attack. I took out all the trespassers who had one of the Shadow pack members in their grasp. Then I ordered the wolves who were still standing to pick up their injured soldiers. They didn't know who I was but they didn't question it since they were receiving help.

I turned to my surroundings to see my opponent.The first to move were the hunters. They shot arrows that surely carried poison. I deflected every single one with grace and slowness. I had to keep their attention on me till the wolves are out of the war zone. Getting impatient, one rogue ponce on me. He jumped giving me access to his tummy, I took as a sign to head him in the gut. He went flying onto two wolves behind him. Angering the rest for injuring one of their own, they all came at once. I kicked, bit, tail slapped, and moved faster than their eyes can never follow. By the time most of the wolves were unconscious or dead, the hunters and vampires stepped in.

I was more cautious with them since I'm not a fan of killing humans, and I think the vampires are forced to fight. It doesn't seem fair to me to kill the innocent, badly injure I'm fine with. Most of them took blows to the legs and arms, missing all the major organs. 

Hector and Anthony arrived when there were only a few left. Help the Shadow pack with their injured members. Hector call, your dad to have the hospital ready and to send the helicopter, they're a few badly injured. They moved towards the Shadow packs house. In a matter of seconds they were all down. The vampires were all unconscious and the hunters had broken bones to worry about. 

I went to go look for my clothes and change back into my human form. I walked bare foot towards the unconscious vampires. I grabbed the first one I saw by the collard and broke it off with my own hands. He cried out in pain since the collard shoots out obsidian every time someone tries to take it off. I ran fast to the rest so the cries of the others won't alarm them. 

While they gained their consciousness, I separated the dead from the living. Once I was done, I started to walk towards the packs house but Anthony mind linked me. 

Red, it was a set up. They were trying to distract us to get the Alpha's daughter. She's gone, no one can find her. 

I'm on it. 

The only person I know that would take a two year old is the devil incarnation. I followed my sperm donor's scent through the forest. Everything around me seemed a little bit of a blur but I still managed to dodge the trees and rocks. As I ran through the forest, to his smell, I was reminded of when I was a kid. He used to play predator with me. I got a five minute head start to run and hide. If he caught me, I would get beat, but if I don't get caught, I get to have breakfast. He used to say, you had to earn your right to eat. Sort of like hide and seek but there's more at risk than being 'it'.

I was aware of how close the Canadian border was getting but that little girls well being meant more to me than the piece with the vampires. I slowed my pace when I saw a light froma far. Each step I took was catios. Even the smallest twig snapping would cause them to be aware of my presence. 

There were more vampires with the collard on. I couldn't see the little girl but I knew she was in the tent, surrounded by the vampires. How predictable that was. The safest way was to blend in with my surroundings and turn completely invisible. I walked straight to the entrance and saw the little girl on the floor wrapped in sheet. There was another bed that was probably ment for him. I could smell him a few miles away with another smell of wolves. I knew I had to run fast to give me as much distance as possible. It's only going to be a few seconds before they discover the girl gone. 

Thank God she was already asleep when I picked her up. I took one of the blankets and covered her whole body for the wind. I transferred my gift to her, making her invisible as well. I positioned myself at the door of the tent. I took a deep breath before I took of full speed ahead. I ran faster than when I was little, playing games with the sperm donor. The pain of seeing someone go through what I have gone through made me forget of my limitations. I t wasn't even a minute when I arrived back to her pack house. 

Once I took the first step to the doors, my feet gained their regular speed. With one hand on the door and the other on the girl I opened the door.  I sniffed the air to know that mostly every one was in the living room. I walked to a room with people who looked truly defeated. One couple stood out the most, the woman stared out the window, frozen, like she was already dead, and the man was trying to comfort her but she paid no attention to him. Nobody had noticed my arrival since me and the little girl still had my power hiding us. I recognize that women's reaction, as if she was aware of everything around her but couldn't registere anything.

Anthony said I looked like that when Mia died. My body wanted to protect me so it closed my feelings and thoughts down. I was glad that this little girl had an entire pack that would die for her. My pack stood back and herd my pleas when I yelled out of pain but no one ever   protected us like they protected this little girl. They were out numbered and out powered by the enemy, but still chose to fight to keep this little girl safe. In a way I was envious of her and the love she would never lack. I turned off my defense mechanism I developed over the years and waited for their reactions. 

The man comforting the woman was the first to look up and then the entire pack rose. No one moved, probably to in shock since I appeared out of thin air. The woman was still looking out the window. I took off the blanket and walked towards her. "Luna, you have your little girl back. " I couldn't help but have a tear fall out. Her eyes reminded me of when my mother used to look at me. She took the little girl out of my hands and hugged her. It looked like she was holding the most precious thing, and she was. 

"My Anastasia, "she let all the tears she was holding out slip,  "I'm so sorry baby girl. I promise nothing will ever separate us." The man came and huged them. The pack started to leave and I took that as my cue to leave. 

"Wait you must be April. "This stopped my legs from moving. Vary few people knew my name and those that did never said it out loud. I prefer Red since April died the day I ran away and a completely new me was born. 

"How did you know my name?" His reply better be convincing. We both didn’t like people to call us that. In a way we felt more naked and weak, like they can easily see the facade I wear and see that small little girl I used to be. 

"The boy, Hector, I think said you would bring my little girl back but I thought he was just trying to comfort my mate. How can I ever repay you?"

I asked him the question that's been bothering me since I realized he was here. "Why does Mr. Wight want your daughter?" He hesitated, looking at his luna for approval and she nodded. 

"Our daughter was destined to be great. I can't say more here but we can talk in the library. "

I was sitting in his office waiting for him to finish looking for a book. I didn't care that he was taking forever but distract by my thoughts. This child must be truly powerful if the devil himself wanted her. I've seen that man destroy armies. When I was little, he would take me to battle with him. He was trying to make me 'stronger', and 'worthy' of his name. 

The slamming of an old book on the desk pulled me out of my thoughts. 

"This is the story of the two most powerful mates ever. Just like ying and yang, they will balance each other out. Their love was so strong that each thousand years they are rebprn." He opens the book
