Chapter

　　The Lycans went after the rogues and tried their best to catch them all but some of them escaped. The others helped us pick up the bodies of our dead and fix the damage that the rogues caused in our pack. 　　The horrifying sounds earlier were changed by weeping and mourning when the families of the warriors came out. 　　Everyone was surprised to see the amount of casualties that were caused by the attack. 　　Only eighteen Warriors survived, including our Alpha. 　　Werewolves can indeed have second chance mates if their true mate died but I doubt Alpha Damien would accept anyone as his mate. 　　Luna Heidi was more than a mate to him. She was his first love and they vowed to never leave each other. 　　Everyone turned quiet when they saw Alpha Damien leaning to his wife's dead body. Tears weren't coming out of his eyes unlike his son Adam but everyone could tell how broken he was. 　　He sat beside the Luna and caressed her hair and touched her stomach where their baby was. He just sat there quietly and left. 　　Weak werewolves can't live without their mates and eventually die, but Alpha Damien's wolf is strong enough to live without his. 　　All the people I cared about changed after the incident. They became blinded by anger, hatred, and revenge. 　　The pack wasn't the same as it used to. It lost its former glory and became the ridicule of all werewolves. They can't believe that we lost to a random rogue attack and worst we lost our important leaders and a great deal of our highly trained warriors. 　　I went towards Adam to comfort him, "I'm sorry," I whispered. 　　He wiped his tears and stared straight to my face with anger evident in his eyes, "I will never forgive them. They will pay for what they did," he hissed while clenching his fists. 　　I caressed his back to calm him down until his breathing turn even. 　　My siblings were looking at both of us. They know how much close we are. 　　"I'm sorry about your parents and your sibling," he muttered under his breath. 　　I smiled sadly at him. We were all expecting to meet our new brother next month if mom didn't die. We weren't also able to know the gender of Adam's sibling. At least our alpha didn't die. 　　I just wish that the Lycans came early. If they did, my dad will also still be alive until now and he would be there to protect me from what was about to happen. 　　The attack just happened yesterday, but for me, it seems like forever. It's the first time I had to sleep without both of my parents. It's also the first time that I never heard their voice. Waking up without my mom cooking us breakfast and without dad drinking his cup of coffee, just reminded me of how they died. 　　I cried myself to sleep last night. I didn't bother to check up on my siblings because I'm so caught up with my emotions. 　　I don't have the energy to comfort them when I'm not feeling well myself. 　　The other Lycans chose to stay in our pack to help us. I don't know how long they are going to stay. We just have to wait for the alpha's orders but he's nowhere to be seen. 　　Everyone was looking for him. The last time we saw him was when he sat beside his mate's dead body. 　　When I went out, everything was already fixed like nothing happened but everything is strange. The damages on the buildings were restored, the bodies and the blood were gone. The streets are empty and it's eerily quiet. 　　Everyone is hiding in their homes and still taking in what happened just like the three of us. 　　We were all eating breakfast that was brought by the pack chefs. Leila's eyes were red and puffy and she would sniff from time to time and Logan is eating emotionlessly which reminds me of dad's expression when he's out on meeting and doing his duties. 　　Now that our parents are gone, their responsibility now weighs on his shoulders. He's the eldest, he now has to protect and take care of us just like what they used to tell him, "Logan, always look after your sister at school.","You should always put your siblings first." 　　After we ate, I volunteered to wash the dishes and Leila volunteered to clean the floor. 　　"Leila, Mira, the alpha just called for a pack meeting. It's urgent and everyone is called to go." Logan said. 　　Since he's now the head of the family. He's now also connected to the pack link. 　　A pack link is how werewolves can talk to their members through their minds. Only people who can shift are allowed to join but having one family member connected to the pack link is required. 　　We all went to the packhouse where great and small gatherings happen. It is also where the guest rooms are located and where the Lycans are staying in. Most important events such as the coronation and forming of alliance, are done in the woods under the moon 　　The Alpha was guarded by the Lycan Warriors instead of our own Warriors. I can't tell how he's feeling after yesterday's events because of his emotionless face and blank stare. 　　Adam wasn't with him on the stage but he's in the crowd among us. I badly want to approach him but I believe it's not the proper time yet. 　　"Thank you for coming and gathering for today's meeting." His voice boomed and the whispers fell silent as he spoke. 　　"Today, I will announce three important things." he briefly paused, "First, I want to share my condolences for the Warriors who had fallen. They were true to their duty and had never failed to give honor. They died to save those who lived." 　　Some of us, who were probably the families of the warriors, started to cry. 　　"To honor their death, we will have their ceremony under the full moon and return a few of what they did to us." 　　"Yesterday, we didn't only lose our warriors but also our beta and…" he gulped and shifted his gaze, "Our Luna." 　　"We will never forget their sacrifices and the things they did for our pack. They thought of us first. They thought of their duties and responsibilities until their last breath. It's painful that we won't see them ever again." 　　"We must not waste their sacrifices for the pack. We must continue what they left us. They died for us, and we must prove our lives to them. The Red Moon Pack will never be the same without them, but we will rise again and prove that our pack isn't worthless. It's as worthy as the lives of those who died for us." 　　"As you all already know. The Lycans will stay here to help us restore our former glory. Our beta will be temporarily replaced by Lycan Reece who was recommended by the Alpha of the Lycans himself until our late Beta Sebastian's son's coming of age." 　　"To make this official, we will serve him our traditional coronation ceremony before we offer our goodbyes to our fallen warriors. It means we will do it by day instead of by night." 　　"Lycan Reece might not be part of our pack but he didn't hesitate to help us when we needed him. I hope that you'll treat him with the same respect you give to our past betas." 　　"From now on, we won't accept rogues into our pack. Kill all rogues who would pass our borders." The pack remained silent at his decree. 　　"All of the rogues whom we accepted into our pack before, I command you to go in front." 　　All previous rogues that were accepted in our pack went in front. There were about 30 of them. There were men, women, children, and the elderly. 　　"Bring all those in front to the dungeons and kill them slowly with wolfsbane!" Alpha Damien ordered and the guards took hold of them. 　　They shouted for help and mercy and struggled to their holds. The children were crying and the men were trying their best to protect their family. 　　"Alpha, have mercy on us!" 　　"Please, spare the children!" 　　"Don't kill us! Just let us go!" 　　We all watched in horror as the Lycans who were temporarily placed as pack guards pushed them outside the packhouse and led them to the dungeon. 　　No one dared to stop the alpha and help those werewolves from the fate that awaits them because deep inside, even how cruel it was, they wanted to kill all the rogues because of what happened. They don't care if it was a child or an infant. All rogues deserve death. 　　And then, as if nothing had happened or nothing was going to happen to those who were dragged away. The Alpha spoke again, "Lastly, the most important announcement I wish to say is that there's a traitor in our midst." The crowd gasped at the revelation. 　　They couldn't believe that someone would betray our pack. 　　"Who is it? Tell us, so we can kill him with our own hands." Someone in the crowd shouted and everyone shouted in agreement. 　　"Our pack took her as our own and we treated her with utmost respect, but she betrayed us and even took away our beta, his mate, and our luna. She even made our pack an object of ridicule. She ruined our pack and had it from the brink of destruction. Killing her would only be a sign of mercy, don't you all agree?" 　　Everyone thought that the alpha is talking about one of the rogues that our pack took in. Everyone was imagining different kinds of punishment that they can give to whoever she is. They wanted to torture her, kill her and chop his body into little pieces and feed it to the dogs. 　　"Tell us Alpha, and we will make her regret the decision she made," the same man shouted again. 　　The crowd is sneering and shouting in anger. They badly want to know who it was. 　　"It was Mira Savera," Alpha Damien answered.
