Alpha Xander
Chapter 5

My heart pounded in my chest, I feel so happy, the fear of losing my mother left me and I couldn't wait to see her, I badly want to hear her sweet voice and see her smile sweetly, it was so sad for me when I met her unconscious on the bed and knowing it was the strange girl named Lena that caused it, I only want her death.

In few seconds, I was already inside the room,

"Mum!" I squeaked like a child running into her arms careful not to hurt her as she forced out a smile, my eyes went wet as I felt how thin she had become, her body was also hot...

"Mum why??...why would you let that little girl cause you this?...you should have called me, raise alarm and we would come to your rescue if she had used much demon powers!" I whined peering into her eyes.

My words made her frown deep, she glanced to Dad, then at me.

"What are you saying?" She asked confusedly.

"You know what I'm saying, you are very much healthy and hearty when I left for school this morning, I came back to meet you worn out, the injury made you lose consciousness, I feared you would die and leave me in the world, that girl named Lena did it, but how??" I grunt and I saw Dad sigh.

"You are talking gibberish, who the hell told you Lena caused this!!... I hope none of you had laid a finger on her ??" She raised her brow in anger.

"Are you kidding me mom?...that little thing caused you these injuries and you want me to let her go scot-free?.......hit her so..." I couldn't finish my words before mum sent two punches straight to my face causing me to move back with force, She coughed out blood from the power she used and Dad rushed over and pat her back calmly,

"You should never use your powers in this state, have a good rest please, don't stress your internal organs or it might fail!" I heard Dad soothe her with his eyes glistening.

My eyes were widened in shock, I was so shocked that I couldn't feel the pain from the punch or able to make a single sound, my gaze was on my mother, she just punched me because I said I hit Lena? What does that mean?

"Go and get Lena here for me, please call her to meet me now so I will plead for forgiveness for my son's stupidity!" Mom added with a deep breath as she absorb the pains she must be facing. "Mum, what is happening??... I'm lost!!!, Who is Lena?...what..."

She moved her gaze to me,

"You hit her?" She asked and Dad swallowed,

"Please take it easy, you shouldn't be doing this to your self" he sniffed and she rolled her eyes at me.

I was about to say something when the door opened and Lena was led in with two Royal warriors, I saw how my mother smiled, she also smiled back.

Lena made to bow and greet her but then to my dismay, she shook her head and took her up even with the pain she was passing through, "I'm sorry...." She spoke out without wasting time.

"Mummy, what happened between the both of you?.." I asked.

"Where did he hit you?... I'm very sorry, please pardon me for not telling them never to...." She coughed and we all rushed to pat her back.

"Lena, please I want you to promise one thing to me, let it be your repayment for the sacrifice I made to save you," Mum said to her under her breath and she nodded. "Please say it, I'll do it" she sniffed.

"Kill Alpha Xavier with this dagger, anyone who tries to stop you, kill them too!" She said handing a dagger to her which Lena took with a confused look and shivering hands. "Can she kill him?" I asked in shock.

"Can you promise me one thing?" She threw the question to Daddy who she was resting on his laps.

"I will do anything for my Luna, anything in this world, even if it would be dying for you" he breathed with a yelp which brought out a smile from Mom.

"Please never send Lena away from here, because she......" Her voice stopped abruptly making me run to where she lay and a scream escaped everyone's lips as we saw her heart seized thumping.

It was like a dream, so unreal that I moved back quickly wagging my head, I kept gasping as I watched Dad and Lena cry, their cries were trying to tell me she is dead for real but I would never believe it, my mother is alive!

"Lillian!!!!" Dad called out with the saddest tone I've ever heard as he took her into his body shrugging it with force.

I stared at Mom's eyes waiting for it to open, I waited for her to sneeze and talk again, but none of that happened,

"Call the doctor!!!" My father shouted and I could feel the hopelessness in his voice but yet I felt hope seep into me, the doctor is going to say she is alive.

Yes!...mom just spoke with us now, no one does like this!

Not long after, the witch doctor rushed in.

She took my mother's hand and checked her pulse.

"She would be fine right?" We all asked in unison including the stranger Lena.

She sighed, the doctor sighed and looked down to the ground with her eyes dimming,

"Please don't tell me my mother is dead!" I howled and she swallowed her throat before looking up to us all as we were all staring at her.

"She is dead!" The doctor said out and I couldn't stand any longer, I was shattered when Mom was unconscious, I hated Lena for causing her injuries and now when I got hopes of having my mother back, when I have gotten the hope of hearing her voice and seeing her get strong again,

She just died, like for real, my mother is dead??

Oh no!

My heart shattered into pieces as I fell to the ground, everything blackout!

Lena's POV.

My whole body trembled terribly, my head pound so hard that I felt like it would rip off, I felt my stomach churn, the words of the doctor resounded in my head like a bang, each letter sent multiple pains through my heart like a stab.

I felt my heart break apart, my gaze was on her, the woman who saved me from the claw of death, she fought for me and I was glad at least I was going to avenge my parent's death, just now, she had woken from her coma and talked.

I was so overwhelmed with happiness, at least she would stop the Alpha and his son from ever hitting me, I was finally going to live happily around her like a daughter, that was all I thought.

That was my thoughts as she smiled and talked to me just now, what the hell is happening now??

She just made me promise to kill a man named Alpha Xavier who I don't know anything about, I don't even have any idea of how I was going to kill him when I got no power, I'm a weakling and even with the dagger she gave me, I won't be able to fight anyone. I had guessed she would train me herself and I'll join the warriors, how would I know I was all daydreaming, Lillian the Luna of this pack sacrificed her life for me.

I watched in horror as she was carried away, her son has fainted, the Alpha her mate was crying real hard, the warriors were also in tears, why is everyone sacrificing their lives for me??

I shut my eyes and the scene of my father's death, my mother's death then that of Lillian replaying in my memories sending sharp pains all over me, I let out a sharp cry, the feeling of guilt covered me and for some moment, I felt like a curse. I'm too useless for their sacrifices.

I was sitting right there on the floor beside the bed crying so hard, the whole building was already a mourning ground as many trouped in to mourn,

"You caused her death..." The Alpha grunted bitterly at me with his eyes teary and fill with agony, I felt the guilt in my heart increase, the pain soared that I clenched my teeth to hold myself from screaming louder.

I looked up for the first time and got fear mixed with my sadness, there was one single emotion in the eyes of everyone who glanced at me - Raw Hatred.
