"Niall" one of the kids shouted as he threw a ball at him, Niall turned around quickly and the ball hit him straight in the face.

"What is wrong with you?!" The nine year old alpha replied as he threw the ball back to the kid, with much more power, turned around and started walking off with a backpack and a tiny bag in his hands.

"Kids, please sit down. Your parents will be here in a second, and we need you all in the same place" said one of the camp managers, she was a green-eyed and curly haired beta. All the children obeyed the girl's words and sat down on small chairs.

The kids were playing and screaming from their seats, one by one, the parents started to arrive to pick their kids up, who smiled and waved goodbye to the new friends they made during summer. Niall looked anxiously at the entrance of the camp, waiting to see his parents entering hand in hand to go home, where the first thing he would do would be to play with his cat, Tom, he missed him so much.

The atmosphere began to turn tense when the news announced a big car accident due to a fight between mafias. One of the camp managers ran to where the other managers were watching the news on a small TV.

'A serious accident has just happened on the main street, two of the most feared mafias of the moment had a shootout, the total number of deaths and injuries among the same members of those mafias has not yet been recorded, but what we do know is that a black car crashed into a light pole causing the power of the entire street to go out after, in an attempt to flee, the driver of the vehicle tried to turn around but it ended up being fatal. The car was driven by a couple heading out of town, the victims were identified by police from the car's licence plates as Amelie and Robert Horan. We'll follow up with more updates when it's safer to investigate further.'

An alpha came out of the room almost running, his anxiety clearly noticeable on his scent, he took the list of names of the kids that were in the camp. Checked page by page, name by name, hoping not to find the last name he was looking for, but after a few seconds, he did. His eyes immediately went to the children playing and trying to be controlled by the curly-haired beta, more precisely, a smiling little alpha staring joyfully at the door. Many curious eyes were on him.

"Please tell me that those weren't the parents of one of these little guys" said an omega with anguish in her voice. The alpha nodded and looked at the children again.

A small beta was with his mother, and when he heard the news he let out a heartbreaking cry that made the other children approach the scene, curious about what had happened they began to scream and ask what had happened. Images of the smashed car and some blood were being broadcast on the TV.

Niall, who was still sitting, looked up to the mass of people, stood up and started walking towards them. He moved between the kids and adults to be able to see what they all were seeing.

He understood everything the second he saw what the news was showing .

That was his parents car, he could only tell because of the little sticker of his favourite cartoon on the back of that car.

Not even five minutes had gone by when a tall alpha, dressed in a blue suit and dark sunglasses, entered the room, looking for one of the managers of the camp. When he finally spotted one, he walked directly to him.

"Is the kid Niall James Horan here?" the alpha asked. The coordinator bit his lower lip as he pointed at the little blue-eyed boy, still standing in front of the television, his eyes were wide open but no tears were falling, Niall had no idea what he was feeling at that moment, it could be anyone, right? They all had the same sticker... It couldn't be true.
