"Mummy what's a shadow wolf?" Little Athea asked her bloodied mother. Athena looked at her tear-filled daughter. "Why did they say I was a monster?" Athea asked sniffing. " Am I not normal? Mummy I don't want to be a monster. I rather be a filthy human like you." Athea cried. Athena chuckled at filthy human. Her mate's pack called her that. No wonder her daughter knew. "Mummy look, I won't cry anymore. Let's go home. We have to wait for dad to come back home. He'll be so mad if we're not there when he comes back." Athea wiped her tears. " Mummy Stop looking at me and answer me Mummy. Please." Athea begged. Athena chuckled again.
"How old are you Athea?" Athena asked her daughter. " I am 6." Athea said proudly. " Than I'll let you in on a secret." Athena said. " A shadow wolf is a monster. A monster that should be killed. A monster that ruined my whole f**king life. A monster which I gave birth to. I f**king hate you Athea. You should've never been born!" Athena screamed as she raised a silver blade and stabbed her 6 year old daughter. Athea woke up with a startle. She looked at her clock, It was only 3a.m. She removed the duvet but suddenly stopped. She closed her eyes and held her breath. She tilted her head as she listened. She opened her eyes and took out a gun from under her pillow. She slowly got out of bed. She wore nothing but a pantie with an oversized t-shirt.
Athea walked downstairs. All the assasins in her house heard her. Soon they all flocked the living room. Athea was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, drinking red wine while holding her gun on her lap. "How much?" Athea asked. " 15 million." One of the assasins replied. "So if there's so many of you, who will get the money? I mean how can you all be sure who killed me? The organization won't give all of you the money. Or are you planning to share it?" Athea asked. The assasins looked at each other. " So I guess that's a no. Well let's do this. I'm kind of hungry so whilst I make breakfast and eat, you decide who gets to kill me. Kill each other or discuss how to share 15 million between 8 of you." Athea shrugged as he got up. " Oh its 1.8 million for each one of you." Athea said entering the kitchen.
And soon enough guns were fired as Athea made her breakfast. When she was done, she went back to the living room. " Like seriously? Every one of them?" She said as she looked at the 8 dead bodies. The door bell rang. Athea shook her head and went to open the door. It was a policeman. " Good morning ma'am. I received a complaint that gun shots were heard coming from here." The officer explained. Athea opened the door wider for the police to enter. The officer entered. His jaw dropped. " Ma'am I'm afraid you have to come to the police station with me." The officer spoke. " Sure. Let me get some pants and my phone. And please can you take my food? I'm starving." Athea said on her way upstairs. The officer nodded. " It's in the kitchen on your left." Athea said before disappearing upstairs.
Athea entered her room and put on some pants. Suddenly she heard a gun shot coming from downstairs. "Sh*t! My breakfast!" Athea took her phone from the table and ran downstairs. " Your breakfast?" A man asked holding Athea's food. " Denzel? What are you doing here?" Athea asked. "Well I just wanted to see my favorite assasin." Denzel replied giving Athea her food. " Why? 15 million? And why the hell did you shoot a cop? He was literally my ticket out of here." Athea said bitterly looking at the dead cop. "Let's go. Get your gun." Denzel told her. " Nope. Not in the mood for fighting." Athea replied as she sat on the kitchen table and started to eat. " I have a one last job for you. 59 million. After that you get your freedom." Denzel proposed.
" Target?" Athea asked. " Arnold Reid. 32 years of age. Lives is Venezuela,Valencia." Denzel replied. " 59 million. What did he do?" Athea asked. " None of your business!" Denzel spat. " Whoa! Sorry for asking. When do you need it done?" Athea asked. " Your flight is at 5a.m today." Denzel answered. " What? I haven't even packed." Athea stopped eating. " I packed. About 20 silver blades, 6 guns and 3 snipers. And that disgusting thing you eat." Denzel made a face. " It's Wolfsbane and It helps me heal faster." Athea said. " Yeah. After going through tremendous pain.30 packs of it. A card with 30 million. You'll get the 29 after the job. All silver bullets about a million of them. Shoes. Size 6 all heels starting from 800k. Earrings which I see no use of. Food in Venezuela is amazing. You could shop there.
A detailed file about the target will be given to you in the plane." Denzel explained. "In the plane? Is it your special private plane?" Athea asked. " Yes. Pack a few stuff to wear. Everything else is on the plane waiting for you." Denzel said carrying Athea down from the table. Athea giggled. " You're such a darling. Why not carry me up to my room instead?" Denzel rolled his eyes at her. " Fine. And Denzel, only girls can rolls their eyes. You just look gay. And I mean on offense to gays." Athea said before running upstairs laughing.

"Okay this is weird." Athea said she Denzel hugged her by the plane. " There's something I haven't told you Athea about where you're going." Denzel said. "What?" Athea asked. Denzel pulled back from the hug. " Venezuela is where your father is." Denzel dropped the bomb. " Don't tell me you want me to kill........." Athea trialed off shell shocked. " No of course not. Your dad lives in Venezuela but not in Valencia, where you're going." Denzel chuckled. " Oh okay." Athea said relieved. " Wait you knew where my father is this whole time, I've been looking for him?" Athea asked shocked. " Yeah but I did it for you Athea. Where you come from, they fear your kind. Okay Look you are special and that scares people, well your dad's kind and my kind I guess.
Athena may be mad but she allowed me to visit from time to time and those people don't take lightly to rogues and you. Well your kind." Denzel explained. " You can say ShadowWolf Denzel, I won't kill you." Athea said. Denzel chuckled. " I know. It's just seems like..... let's just say I feel like I'm talking about fairytales when I mention it. So what I was trying to say it that, your target is the Alpha there." Denzel said. " Alpha?" Athea repeated. Denzel looked at his watch. " Okay I've got 30 minutes to explain this. In Venezuela, A pack is a group of 'people' who are led by an Alpha who is like their king who has more power than all of them. There's a beta, his second in command who is second strongest. Than there's a gamma who's job is apparently to protect the Luna. A Luna is a Alpha's mate so she's like a queen. Beta female is the Beta’s wife and gamma female is the gamma wife. Understood?"
" Yep but what are these packs called?" Athea asked. " Well each pack has it own name and you are going to the blood moon pack. In Valencia, the city to which you are going, there are like 3 packs there. But they live in the forest. Outside people are humans like me. You can ask around. When you arrive there, ask for shelter okay? You're new in town and stuff. You're looking for your parents. Oh before I forget. I packed a potion for you. It is to hide your scent. You smell like a rogue, I guess and packs hate rogues so make sure to put it everyday and nobody sees it. If someone sees it, they shouldn't be able to live and tell the story okay? Because they will behead you. Oh gosh your precious face. That's it. By pretending that you're human, they'll explain everything to you. Come back alive okay?" Denzel said.
" I'll be fine Denzel. I can take care of myself. A bunch of wolves won't kill me." Athea said. " Athea you are my only sister and I don't want you to die okay? Be safe." Denzel said sternly. " I will Denzel. I promise." Athea hugged Denzel. " Don't give mum the satisfaction of you being killed by wolves okay?" Denzel said. "I'd never. Old age will kill me. Athena will die bitter because I'm not dying anytime soon. The one thing I'm sure of is that wolves never age and that gives another hundred years to live." Athea chuckled. " But on serious note, how is she?" Athea asked. " Well still pretty much the same. She literally tries to kill me every time I enter her room and still curses the werewolves. Especially you." Denzel blurted out. Athea punched Denzel on the stomach.
" You just had to rub in, didn't you?" Athea muttered as she turned and entered the plane. "I Love you!" Denzel shouted behind her. " The feelings mutual idiot!" Athea replied before the doors closed. Soon enough the plane took off.
" Holy sh*t I forgot to tell her about the witches."
