Alpha Xander
Chapter 37

Lena's

POV.

The pain in my heart couldn't be compared with anything, I had been sobbing for hours, and it was already night, I was still sitting on the bed of his room in the same position.

He hadn't stepped back again since he left, and I wondered why, his last words really broke my heart, especially when he said he still hates me, I couldn't help but pray and hope he wasn't serious.

I craved for his return, at least to tell me he didn't mean those words, but he didn't come before I slept off.

It was late in the morning when I woke up feeling so strange, I was still lying alone on the bed.

I shut my eyes and the scene of my parent's death came flashing in all of a sudden, I opened my eyes in terror as my breath became tense and fast, the skull tattoo was filled my head and I could vividly see those men hitting my mother continuously,

Even when my eyes were opened, the scene kept replaying in my head and all I could feel in me was pure rage and extreme craving for revenge, I recalled seeing the same skull tattoo on Kyle's arm and my lips quivered in an attempt to burst into a scream of grief, I was going mad in sadness at the fact that I had found out a clue on my parents' death without being able to do anything, it made me feel the greatest urge to kill myself.

"Lena!!!... Run!!" The voice of my father resounded in my head continuously, followed by that of my mother, I shut my eyes shaking my head vigorously as sweat covered my face down to my whole body,

"Mom loves you, go away, don't die!...you will be the one to avenge us!!" I heard my mom's voice shrill deep inside my heart with the scene of her kiss that day,

"Mommy!!!...please don't leave me!!" I cried out, but she wasn't listening to me.

It was like an illusion but looked so real, I found myself right in my pack, the Blood Moon Pack.

Everywhere was deserted, hot breeze hover around, it was all silent like a graveyard that I became scared.

"Mummy!!! Daddy!!" I called out but could only hear the echo of my voice, I stood there and watched in agony and extreme rage which was making my heart so heavy, my fists were clenched so tight.

Just then, I heard a burst of malicious laughter all over the place, the voice sounded scary, but I felt no urge to run, my eyes were roaming around as I crave to see who it was,

"Come out and show yourself!!!...come out!" I burst out without knowing what gave me the courage, I had never sounded so brave in my life, I really wondered if I was going to fight using just my weak wolf.

"Take a look, little girl...." The voice said to me in a hateful tone and right in my eyes, I saw the whole scene of my Pack destruction.

At first, the empty pack got filled with my pack members living all peaceful and happy, the marketplace, school, and temple all looked beautiful,

I saw my friends, I saw my teachers, I saw my parent all going about their lives, Dad was playing with Mom while I played with my friends, it was a past life, I felt joy grow in me as I watched everything come back to normal,

But just at that moment, the massacre began, the moon which was bright and illuminating the entire place suddenly turned dark and the sound of slashing of swords and stabbing of claws filled my ear.

I saw it all, I saw how my friends were killed, their hearts were dug out and eaten by those men on masks, what broke my heart the most was that my pack members and warriors couldn't fight back as it seemed their powers were seized by an unseen force, none of them could shift into their wolf.

The Alpha was burnt to ashes alongside his mate, and then I saw how my father was killed, it was the most painful scene in my life, his intestines were fed to him, he kept grunting in deep pain, but the men preferred giving him a slow and painful death, I saw how they went ahead and skinned him alive while he cried and pleaded for mercy.

Those masked men were all merciless and craved for more to kill, I was shaking profusely, my heart thuds heavily inside my chest, each time a single member of my pack was slaughtered, I feel the pain in my heart so much that it broke my spirit.

My gaze was on the scene happening in front of me and I felt like I would die any moment, the terror was much, the feeling of guilt crept in and made me gasp for breath, I recalled mom had told me I was the reason all these happened. "I am a curse!!!" I screamed, and the unknown voice burst into a baleful laugh which tore my heart,

I watched from the scene as my mother died for the second time and I got exhausted, I saw how she had pushed me away, so I'd run and be safe while she died, this made me fall weakly to my knee.

"You will be the one to avenge us!!!" I heard her passionate voice echo inside my head, and it could only increase my urge to kill myself, the whole Pack didn't just die in the hand of those masked men, I was the reason for that massacre. My head sagged to the ground and I felt my wolf howl in pain.

"I had seen the skull tattoo on the arm of Dracula the Demon king... he had also cleared my doubt and told me right to my face that he was the one who unleashed the massacre on my pack, yet I couldn't attack him, I couldn't do anything, I just couldn't do anything to the man who killed her family and pack members!!!!!!!" I shrilled at the top of my voice as a stream of tears rolled down continuously.

"If Xander hasn't saved me, I would have been dead, the only survivor who everyone depended on for revenge would have died and met them all in the other world without getting the revenge, imagine the shame I would cause to my whole pack and family who trusted me, I would be a big embarrassment!!!!" I shrieked and felt flat to the ground.

"Why don't you kill yourself and end it all, remember you can never defeat Dracula, you are too weak for him, it is useless staying alive" I heard the unseen voice again

I shut my eyes and sighed hopelessly,

Why did the Demon King want me dead so much that he wiped out my entire pack?" I asked no one as hot tears blinded my eyes.

"You are the only one who can stop him from getting the power to rule over the universe..." I heard a strange voice sound in my heart, the voice wasn't from my wolf but the strange beast in me.

"How can I stop him when I'm the weakest creature on earth, I can't even kill a pup!" I whined with my teeth chattering.

"You are the strongest Werewolf in the history of the Blood Moon Pack, you are a rare hybrid, my name is Zoe, your Dragon-Vampire beast from the Moon goddess, we can kill Dracula the Demon King and his whole demons, but I'm caged at the moment!" I heard the voice again, it sounded hopeless.

"Get off that cage, then let's destroy that devil!!!" I yelled but heard no voice again.

"Zoe!!!!!.... Zoe!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my voice, but there was nothing but dead silence.

"He is gone!" I heard my wolf sigh.

"To where...." I questioned with a cry.

"I can't replace those eyes again, I don't know where it went to..." Elena replied hopelessly.

"How are we going to release him from the cage??" I shouted in frustration and heartbreak, but she kept mute.

I made to shout again but was cut short by the baleful laugh of the mysterious voice again, it grew louder and louder causing me terror, his laugh was like a lightning struck which made me numb in deep pain.

I sat up weakly and looked up to locate who owns the voice but right in front of me, I saw my entire Pack razed down, what inflicted my heart multiple times with intense pain was the agonized screams and wails of pain sounding inside the fire,

it was the voice of my pack members, teacher, friends and parents, they all called on me for revenge.

"No!!!!!!!!" I shrieked with endless horror.

"Lena!" I heard someone call me with a pat on my back,

"Zoe, wake up!!...my Pack is dying, we need to avenge!!!" I bawled and held the hand I felt around my body, clutching it tightly.

"Lena." The voice called me again, louder this time.

Just like a little wave, everything disappeared and my eyes opened widely.

"Can you release my hand???" I heard someone's voice, it made me look up, and my eyes fell on Xander, our eyes met, and a spark was felt in me.

"What happened?...you look so tense, you're sweating and just now, you called a name, Zoe...who is that?" He asked with a furrowed brow.

I released my breath and shut my eyes, trying hard to calm my nerves, my heartbeat was racing so fast from the massive terror I had just gone through.

"You are still holding my hand without saying anything, let me go if you are not replying!" Xander huffed, and I couldn't say any words, I couldn't still free his hand, it was soothing to my heart and someway somehow, I felt protected by holding him. He tried wriggling out his hand, but I held it tighter with a little sob.

"Please don't leave me, please, I might die..." I mumbled, hugging his hand to my chest.

"Then tell me what happened, I walked in here to see you shivering so bad, your eyes were shut as your lips quiver, what did you see?" He asked and sat beside me, closely that our body was touching.

"I'm a weak wolf who was saved by Lillian, they want me dead and killed my whole pack and family just to get me, everyone kept saving me, so I will avenge them, but I'm the weakest thing on earth!!!" I cried with my heavy heart filled with intense pain, "Who wants to kill you?" He asked with the most caring and protective voice I had ever heard, it stunned me that I flashed my gaze to his face to be certain it was Xander's voice.

"Do you care?" I asked under my breath feeling different as his eyes buried into mine, I couldn't understand his emotions from those eyes, but I could notice It was a bit warmer, it wasn't so much filled with hatred or was I overthinking?

"I just had to ask you, not as I care, you should be glad people keep saving your pitiful a*s." He shrugged and looked away.

"The Demon King wants me dead, he will kill me when next we meet..." I sniffed.

"The Demon King has been defeated for long by the Northern America pack" he replied.

"He is back and this time more powerful, he lives in the Blue Moon Pack disguised" I mumbled.

"Why does he want you dead?" He asked with a glance at me, I shut my eyes and recalled the strange dream I just had, Zoe had told me the reason.

"You are the only one who can stop him from getting the power to rule over the universe..." I repeated the word of Zoe and Xander cringed, pulling away from the bed in shock, he stared at me strangely, and I wondered what happened. "Who told you about the hidden powers to rule the universe?" He raised his brow, scanning me from head to toe.

"What do you mean? I asked with a frown.

"What is the name of your real Pack that was wiped away?" He asked,

"The Blood Moon Pack" I replied, and his eyes widened as he gaped at me in shock.

"You are from the Blood Moon Pack?" He repeated, moving his legs back slowly...
