"No sweetheart, Momma went out for a little, she'll be back soon. Then we'll go" Her father said, replying to her previous question to whether they could go for a walk or not.

"Kay p-papa, I-I have song to s-show" the four year old stuttered. She had developed a stuttering problem since she began to talk and the pack doctor insisted that it was going to disperse as she got older.

"Okay Belly, give me a second, I have to finish okay?" Her father said looking down at her fondly.

"B-b-but p-papa I want to s-s-show n-now" she stuttered out, frustrated.

"Amabilis. One second please" her father pleaded at the small petite girl.

"O-okay papa" she responded, sitting next to him in a smaller version of his chair.

A loud Roar sounded throughout the Pack House.

Alpha Romevellos beta, Beta Kiron, shouted through the mindlink.

The alpha shot up from his seat.

He commanded his Beta through the mindlink before picking up his daughter and running outside towards the forest.

the Beta whispered through the mindlink.

the Alpha cried, joining the remainder of his pack into the private mindlink as he began to recite their motto.

"

He smiled as the pack recited the words back to him.

Suddenly he felt bonds breaking, weakening him, breaking his heart just as much as the whimpers and sniffles coming from his pup in his arms.

he reached out to his mate, holding his daughter closer to his chest.

, his mate cried out to him, making him sigh in relief.

he spoke softly to his mate, running through the forest, towards a small hideout where he knew he would probably see his daughter for the last time before joining the battle.

she said quickly.

he responds.

his mate whispers to him and her words echo in his head.

he panics, tears streaming down his face.

She speaks calmly, accepting death.

Nicholas cried, tears streaming down his face.

Then she was gone.

The whole pack felt the loss of the Luna and the whole pack wept and comforted each other, letting out a howl of respect while the Alpha let out a sorrowful roar and his little daughter whined softly at the loss she felt.

Although half of his souls literally died he still managed to get his little girl under a small tree before bending down in front of her.

"Momma loves you okay belly? Momma loves you and so do I. We love you more than life, always be wise my girl. Be strong, Amabilis." He held her close, kissed her forehead and stood up to leave.

"I love you Papa, I love Momma too" her small voice called out to him.

He turned towards her and sobbed out loud.

It shocked her- she had never seen her Daddy cry before.

Then he nodded and ran towards the yelling, screaming and howls in the distance.

And there she stayed, until all of her pack had deteriorated and the rogues had found her.

She laid under the tree, crying and wrapped in her own arms when she heard a male voices throwing orders.

"I smell a pup, find it!" It bellowed.

She was suddenly pulled out from under it, her small body being held in the air for all to see, in her now dirty and bloody white dress.

she saw at least ten men staring back at her.

"Ahh yes, I feel your aura- oh so like your mothers, too bad she's dead now." A skinny tall man smiled, a yellow teethed smile that scared Mabel.

"W-w-where's papa?" She sounded her concern, scared for her pack and parents.

"Dead" the man answered shortly, making Mabels insides twist in fear and despair.

The man approached her and the person holding her dropped her to the ground roughly making her whimper. The man grabbed a fistful of her hair in his hand and leaned in close to her.

"Nighty Night" he whispered close to her before slamming her head into the ground, making everything go black.

***

Adonis sat with his father on a bunch of leaves, after hunting in his wolf form Adonis got tired so they took a break.

Normally you wouldn't be able to shift until you turn sixteen, but Adonis was a special case- his father believing him to be a Lycan due to his grandad being a Lycan, although the gene skipped his father.

Adonis was very tall for his age. He had turned five a couple months ago and yet stood at 5'1, which was exceptionally tall for a five year old, werewolf or not.

He had Raven black hair, with golden eyes to contrast.

Adonis was yet to talk to his wolf but always somehow knew he was there.

"Adonis, son, are you listening?" His father said, snapping him out of his daydream.

"Huh- oh yes sorry, what was it you said?" He questioned.

"I asked if you were having a sleepover or not, I remember you talking of one, with Liam?" His father said, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, no not anymore, he said his mom and dad are giving him a 'mate talk', whatever the heck that is", he says confusedly.

"Don't curse son, your mother would kill me if she heard you." His father said, pointing a finger at him to get his point across.

Adonis nodded.

The sun was setting.

They sat in silence for a second.

"What is a mate?" Adonis questioned, looking over to his father with his eyebrows furrowed.

"I-well-that- I would say..uh.." his father trailed off, scratching his head nervously.

Adonis zoned out when the wind blew, causing him to catch the most beautiful and sweetest scent in the wind.

He stood quickly.

"Dad, do you smell that?" He whispered to his father, entranced by the smell.

His father lifted his nose into the air and sniffed.

He smelt nothing.

"No? What is it you smell?" He asked his five year old.

"It smells like..cookies, newly baked cookies and oohhh roses" they young boy sighed, relaxing into the scent filled wind.

He suddenly decided he would look for the source of the smell, almost as if the wolf inside of him urged for him too find it.

' his wolf suddenly spoke, making him gasp.

Now he really needed to find it.

'it spoke again.

Adonis turned to his father.

"I am going" he said to his dad and took a step forward.

"Woah there, where are you going off to?" He said, checking his sons temperature as if he were sick.

Adonis shook his fathers hands off.

"To find her" he whispered and ran in the direction of the scent.

He felt his dad behind him the whole way but he couldn't find it in him to be annoyed.

He tracked the scent all the way towards the edge of the pack lands behind a large green bush.

He inhaled the scent to calm down and slowly looked behind the bush.

And there lied a small brunette haired girl, half the size of him, maybe three or four, he guessed, huddled in a corner and rocking back and forth. She wore a bloodied up white dress that reached her knees and had a little necklace around her neck.

"Hi" Adonis spoke, scared of the little girls reaction.

Her head snapped up and she stared up at him with her wide, silver eyes.

He sucked in a breath when he came face to face with her beauty.

Wow he thought to himself, she is perfect.

His wolf started shouting a word he couldn't hear.

"I-I-I d-d-don't know wha-what's h-happening, I-I want m-my papa!" The girl sobbed.

He stood awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

"Do you need a hug?" He whispered to her bending down near her.

She immediately spread her arms open and launched into his arms, clinging onto him.

He placed his arms around her waist as she wrapped her legs around his waist, wrapped her arms around his neck and shoved her face into his shoulder.

He didn't know why he was hugging a stranger but goddess did it feel so right.

"It's okay, my love. No need to cry, it will be all right" he whispered to her what he heard his dad whispering to his mum sometimes.

"What's your name?" He asked her rocking them back and forth in his arms to calm her.

"A-A-Amabilis, b-but you can c-call me Ma-Mabel" she whispered, hiccuping.

"Thats a pretty name" he smiled, almost as perfect as her.

"W-what's your name?" She asked him, pulling her face out of his shoulder and looking at him, still in his arms.

"My names Adonis" he said, grinning at her. He sat them down so now he was sat directly across from her.

She smiled softly at him.

She placed a hand on his cheek and he nuzzled his face into her hand.

"Addie" she said, flashing him a bright smile.

"No baby, it's Adonis" he tried to correct her.

"Addie, h-have name f-fr-from me" she said, not being able to phrase her sentence as perfect as she wanted it.

"Oh a nickname" he nodded, grinning at the thought of a nickname.

"ADONIS" his father shouted, running through the woods looking for the wanderer he called a son.

Mabel flinched and hid behind Adonis, gripping his shirt and shoving her face into his back.

"Over here dad!" He shouted back, trying to coax her out from behind him.

His dad burst behind the bush, breathless and bent over, hands on his knees and trying

to catch his breath.

He held a finger up, signalling for his son to give him a second.

His father then let out a big sigh and stood tall and opened his mouth, he was just about to argue with Adonis when he saw a petite girl clinging onto him.

"Adonis? Who is this?" His father said, taking a step forward causing Mabel to let out a loud whine.

Adonis growled, gripping her in his arms and snarling at his dad.

"Mate"
