Broken Promises (rejection)

Chapter One

Scarlett's POV:

I was curled up behind the couch and silently crying. I tried to be as quiet as I could. My hands where covering my ear so I wouldn't hear, but it was of no avail.

"We won't ask again. Where. Is. The. Drafters. Knife."

The guy in all black asked, pointing a gun at my moms head. "John, I won't ask again. Or do you want to see your wife die in front of you." He said, smirking evilly at my father.

My mother was shaking her head at my dad. "John, baby don't do it, ok. It's not worth it."

I had no idea what was going on but I knew that I could not get out of my hiding place. It wasn't safe.

"Get out of my house you leech. And take your men with you. We won't be giving you any info." My dad yelled fighting the blond guys hold.

"Let me go. I can't believe I ever trusted you, Patrick. You betrayed us. How could you do this to your own pack, your own kind. You get the hell out of my house." My dad yelled at the guy named Patrick. He was the one who was holding him back.

One of the guys came in and whispered something to the guy who was holding the gun to my moms head. Then the guy left and came back with a knife from our kitchen. He gave it to the man in black, the one holding my mom.

My dad started yelling at him when the guy started covering it with something. I didn't know what it was at the tine, but knew I would find out later. He took the knife and placed in right above my moms heart.

"If you want your wife to live I suggest talking." The guy said with an eerily calm voice. My dad started to protest and yell. He looked about ready to give up and give in to them.

Then my mom said one thing. And I knew she said it to both, my dad and I. One thing that completely broke my heart. Her last words.

"I love you." She whispered, looking at my dad then at me, behind the couch. 'You have your brother and sister. They love you. They'll be there for you. Always ok. Tell them I love them.' She said through the mind link. She made sure she didn't let anyone else see me. Then she did the unthinkable.

She got the mans hand and pushed his hand with the knife right under her chest. A tear made it down her cheek.

My dad yelled and cried. He tried to get free and he managed. He got up and started punching the man named Patrick. The other guy came from behind him and stabbed him from the back. My dad fell to the ground and crawled to my mother, who was just barley keeping her eyes open. They reached for each other's hand and looked at each other than at me with a sad smile.

I tried even harder not to cry, I was sobbing and my throat was hurting. I looked up to see the men all walking out.

After they all left, I got up and ran to my parents. My mom couldn't talk but she was crying and managed to hug me. My dad called me by him.

He was coughing. He reached out and took my hand in his, while my mother held the other one. I was sobbing out of control. "Momma, daddy. Please don't leave me." I cried. My mom reached and wiped my tears away. "Honey, g-go to my closet in th-" Cough. "There is a white box." All of a sudden my moms hand dropped and her breathing stopped. "Mom! Mommy, no!" I cried.

Then all of a sudden someone was yelling my name and felt something cold.

I screamed and woke up sweating. But the cold I felt was near my chest. And it was water.

"Really again. Why don't you just shut up already!" The soon-to-be alpha, Ashton yelled. "We put you in the attic and can still here your annoying yelling all the way downstairs."

I sat up and looked around. My sister and brother were here too and Annalise, my old best friend. My brother came up to me and held my forearm tightly. It hurt really badly because of the burn from two days ago. I winced but didn't dare word it out.

"You despicable pig. Get your ass up and go downstairs. Make breakfast, then get ready. I'm not waiting for you. Your out then your out, if not then your walking the half hour." He said through clenched teeth, then pushed me to the floor. He glared at me then kicked me in the stomach and walked out. My sister, Riley and Annalise walked out, but not before shooting glares at me.

"I have to talk to you then you can leave." Aston said, loud enough so the others heard.

As soon as they were out of ears reach, Ashton leaned in and kissed my neck. "Mine."
