3. Dead (Sol POV)

Sol POV

Quienten and I looked at each other. We had dread all over both of our faces. We were at one of the Greek parties, but I felt the pain, my parents, so many from the pack had left the link. The pack link I had with them for so many years, once I had shifted. “They are?” I couldn't finish the sentence; Quienten was rushing me pulling me out of the crowd of bodies.

Once outside, he said “Sol, they are dead.” “We have to go home” I said quietly, I couldn’t believe it, my parents were dead, not just them but a lot of the pack. We both rushed to my car not having to say anything to one another knowing something was wrong. We were an hour in then I swerved. Pain ripped from my chest. Quientin was screaming or was it me. I had no idea.

I hardly managed to get the car safely on the side of the road. All ties to the pack severed and it was the most painful thing I had ever felt. I looked at Quienten he was sobbing uncontrollably just as I was. “They are dead.” He screamed. I knew that already. “Do you know what happened? I mean did anyone?” I couldn’t even get the words out I was crying so hard. He nodded but he couldn’t speak anymore he was as distraught as I was.

Hours passed as we sat there crying and in pain. “Sol, we can’t go home.” He got out, his voice was harsh from his sobs and screams. “No, we have to go” I tried to say, and he shook his head. “No, back to the house Luna.” He broke again and cried. He got ahold of himself, but I was still crying. “My dad mind linked me.” Hope bloomed in me, Uncle Quill he was alive?

I tried to search for him in my mind but found nothing, not from him, not from anyone. Quientin wasn’t even there. “He is dead,” Quienten said then went on trying to find his voice in his matching anguish. “There was an attack, all the northerns with white wolves where targets, those who wouldn’t comply were killed.” My face I didn’t know could fall more did. “The kids” He shook his head “I don’t know Sol.” This meant my parents were gone. There was no way they were alive.

“Sol, get us back to the house, we need to make a pack.” I stared at him, he was thinking about that right now? “Sol, we have to as of right now we are rogues.” Dread crept up my neck. We ran the risk of going insane if we rogue. “We have to be able to link one another, and we can’t if we are not in a pack.” He spoke. “Quientin, we need three to form a pack, and we are just two wolves.” I said, my throat strained.

“Hopefully not for long, a few people knew about where the house is, maybe if we are lucky some will show up.” He said and I nodded. I had to stop crying or at least get it under control, so that I could drive. I took deep breaths and finally managed to stop the crying from sops to slow steady stream of tears. Neither of us said anything, we were both mourning, the loss of something that had seen so certain hours ago.

We pulled into the front of in what my opinion was a lodge. My body felt lethargic as I hoisted it out of the small SUV. I didn’t know if I could cry anymore. The only thing Quienten and I could do was wait. Neither of us had said anything but the sorrow we both felt was beyond anything I could imagine. We both sat down on the leather sofa my knees came up to my chest so I could rest my head on them.

Hours went by when I heard the door burst open, I was up running across the room, hoping by some miracle that it was a face of someone I knew. My whole body felt a wave of relief when I saw Kimi. I ran to my pseudo auntie and wrapped her in a tight hug. I felt Quienten hugging the both of us. The embrace was long and thoughtful when she pulled away it was only then I realized she was naked.

I moved to go get her something to wear and finally she pulled some sweatpants and a tank top on. “What happened?” Quienten blurted out. “My fucking son.” I looked taken a back. Her son, Ben? What did she mean. “He, he, he killed them, not just him but he led it. He killed his father; I hardly got away.” She let out both anger and sorrow flowing from her. “Ben?” Quienten asked, his voice felt like it was raw, and Kimi nodded.

She turned to me. “Luna, Alpha, I don’t know, they just” It didn’t make sense what she was saying, she took a breath. “They were engulfed in light and then they were gone.” That made no sense. “Did anyone else make it out?” I asked. As much as I didn’t want to be an alpha, I knew those wolves where my responsibility when my parents were no longer around. Kimi rubbed her eyes.

“All the full blooded northerns where killed on the spot, those who didn’t supported him and wouldn’t stop resisting are gone too. The kids, they spared them, that was the exception to the rule. But Charlie...” She struggled to say, Charlie was her mate. She sniffled and shook her head. “My mom and dad, my siblings.” Quienten asked. “Like I said only the kids under 18 were spared.” Quienten fell to the floor wailing, he was the youngest of his siblings.

I bent down and rubbed his arm, and he wrapped me in a hug. “Your other kids?” I asked Kimi keeping my embrace on Quienten. She sounded like she was choking “One two were left alive, falling in line with their brother.” I nodded. My mind raced. I knew my mother said something of other packs causing problems, she told me during my visit home, in the summer. “Did any besides our pack show up?” I asked and Kimi nodded.

This was a grave loss, for all of us. I wondered what had happened to my parents, they were surrounded by light and then gone? That made no sense. I didn’t feel them die. They just disappeared in my pack link. I began to take stock. Okay so Ben was the new Alpha, I guessed Maven was his Beta. All the older Northern’s were killed. Kids, are safe, and everyone who wanted to stop the massacrer or support the northerns in any way was now dead, oh and my parents were missing? We were no doubt kicked out or they made a whole new pack?
