Gong! Gong! Gong!
An Alarm… For the war has begun.
And the song of he is coming is being sung.
"He is alpha, not Omega, redeemer of all creatures"
"With war… In his veins… Yes! He is coming!"
The pack elderly councilmen in thousands who guide the great gates of the world's strongest pack began to sing in their werewolf war title wears, with gold plated over them as they made the same movements while creating a shield to protect the pack from an attack.
"An attack?" I asked from the Alpha chambers… Mind linking all the pack council elders.
"Yes!" they all replied.
"Demon-possessed Witches are coming, Monroe, but we swear to guide the gates of our ancestral pack with our ancestral life's." They all replied to me.
Good! That will give me enough time to equip myself with my younger brother.
We both stared at our late father's throne and his gold and silver magic armor.
Wondering how powerful it would feel to be the owner of his armor at the ongoing war.
I got up from my Chair walking straight towards the witch's chambers and then I came to a halt.
I looked at the entrance into the chambers wondering what I would tell my mum.
She's the grand witch of the Monroe pack.
Then I took a step forward.
And the next thing I saw was the chamber guardian called Mona.
"Monroe, it's your mother! It's like she has gotten crazy… She killed all the remaining witches and drained them of their powers… Don't go in there." Mona says, holding my hands.
"What? But why? Why would she do that?" I was surprised.
"Power I tell you; she is serving darkness." She says to me,
"No, she is a witch-like you, and you all serve darkness so I guess the demons want my late father's magic armor for immortality as stories about it have always been told," I replied to her.
"But please, don't go in there, you won't be safe anymore." She says with care in her eyes.
"But she is my mother after all," I replied walking through the chamber door.
I looked around to see that my mum had killed about nine witch elders.
The scenery of blood spilled around made me shocked and troubled if she was crazy.
"Mum! What did you just do? Why did you kill them?" I asked, staring at my mum who had blood all over her white gown as she stood at the witch-like altar.
"Son, there was a time when I was young and a Powerful witch, of course, I served the same demons troubling our pack outdoors right now and my mission was to serve your father."
"The Alpha and become his grand witch… All to use this as an advantage to create Armor wear made from all the magic and lives of all creatures and provide it to my demon masters… But I failed." She replies to me.
"Why mum? It was a deal!" I replied to her.
"You might not understand but demons don't follow deals because they are stronger than magic… I had a vision and they destroyed your fathers' pack but that wasn't anything until it became a problem when I was mated to your father by the moon spirit and was pregnant for you… I fell in love with him instantly and this made it impossible for me to fulfill my part of the deal." She said standing up from the ground.
"And so? What next?" I asked, trying to fully understand her.
"Well, I betrayed them by giving the Amor I made to your father and his bloodline and so he learned how to use its power and cast back all the demons back to hell, but little did I know that a witch here under me has another deal with the same demons and this is what caused your father's death during the war but rest assured… we only rely on the council elder's protection." She said in sadness.
"So that is why you killed your fellow witches?" I asked, feeling down.
"Yes son, they all have to die since I don't know who betrayed me… Their grand witch." She says to me with tears in her eyes as she throws away the candles on the altar using her magic with the wave of her hand and then she cleans her tears off with her palm.
"So, what is your curse mum?" I asked her in return.
"And the First Heart Stabs…" she sings in tears as she falls looking at me.
I know that song she always sang to me since I was a kid.
"I have done all my best to prevent the curse from happening but now I can tell you that I have been poisoned with demon blood and it's beginning to take over me." She says to me in return.
"But Mum, what do you mean by the first heart stabs?" I asked her, confused.
Mona rushes in with her ward pointing it towards my mum as she begins to enchant.
My mum uses her hand to strike her off with lightning.
And that lightning broke the chamber walls revealing the little corridor, up of the building.
She walks into the small top floor corridor as she looks down seeing vampires and werewolves arranged in packs together with werewolves who were in charge all standing as they all stared at the shield the councilmen created to protect the pack from the attack of the demon witches.
I walked towards her and she turned to look at me, which made me stop.
"It means that I will do their bidding." She says as she looks at her hands and then at me with sadness enveloping her eye as she stares at me with a sad smile.
"And the first heart I gave birth to… Will put a stop to my own." She says and I stepped back in shock understanding that I was her first heart but I was not ready to be part of a demon's curse.
"Mum, you should have killed me long ago, I will never be responsible for my own mother's death. Kelvin, my younger brother, is also fit to be an alpha." I said as I pulled out my dagger.
"No! No... don't!" She screams.
But it was too late as I slit my own throat.
I needed to break the curse.
I was trained so well to die After All.
