Brandon's POV
.
“Oliver…”
“Don’t feed me any other lies, Brandon. I know my sister. She can’t stay a day without talking with me. Just tell me if something is wrong with her. Is her baby fine?”
“She is in the hospital. Because of high blood pressure, she started bleeding last night, and she gave a premature delivery of the baby. Until now, she was unconscious; that’s why I didn’t tell you the truth in the first place.”
“WHAT? And when you were going to tell me about it?” Oliver shouted. “Is she stable now? And her baby? Is my niece fine?”
“Yes, they both are fine. I will call you back when Sophia will be awake.”
“No. I’m coming right there. Just tell me the name of the hospital.”
“But your college…”
“Do you really think that I will prioritize my study over my sister and my niece? The rest of the family members can’t be there with her because they don’t know a thing, but how can I leave my sister when she is in the hospital?”
“Okay.”
“By the way, I know that her blood pressure rises whenever she is tense. What happened last night because of which her blood pressure shot to this extent?” I told you, he was an intelligent boy.
“Actually last night, ______. So, today I’m going to tell her the truth about her family background, or she will try to run away from me again.”
“Tell her about it when I will be there to confirm because I know her; she trusts dad and her brothers more than anyone.”
Ouch!
That hurts.
“Okay.”, Saying this, I disconnected the call.

Henry’s POV

Flashback
*
The moment I reached the pack house, I stopped breathing after seeing the whole pack members were wiped out. I kept checking on each and every warrior of the pack, but no one was alive. I checked on my brother, who was dead; only my mother knew that she had given birth to twins, not one. It was just that she gave me to her best friend because her best friend couldn’t become a mother as she was barren.
I checked on my father, even though he was dead, and then I searched for my mom and finally found her taking a heavy breath.
This was supposed to be my first official meeting with family, and I was seeing everyone for the first and last time. I found out about them after reading Mom’s diary where she had kept the picture of her with her best friend and her best friend’s family picture, making circles on every face that the man was my real father, the woman was my real mother, and a small kid in their arms was my other brother.
“Hunter?”, She said, raising her hand toward me.
Yeah! That was the birth name that she had given me, but no one calls me with that name NOW. How did she recognize that I was her other son?
I softly held her hand and pulled her in my arms. “Yes, mother! That’s me. Let me take you to the hospital.” I had already lost that mother who raised me. I didn’t want to lose the one who gave me birth.
“No-No, son. No one can… save me.”
I ignored her and tried to pick her up in my arms, but she stopped me. “It’s not that late, Mother. Please corporate.”, I begged.
“Listen to me carefully..”, She said, taking a deep breath.
Tears started brimming my eyes; I knew with every breath I was losing her. “Ethan Weasley and his whole clan along with… all his sons destroyed our pack … your pack.”, She said and started telling me everything from start to end. At last, she held the pendant of the moon on my neck and broke it; with this, her hand fell on the ground, opening her eyes.
“Mother?” I called her, but she didn’t reply. Well, she could never reply to me ever. Hugging her, I cried and looked around, seeing the lifeless body of the pack members. They were covered with blood.
I promise you, Ethan Weasley, that I would do the same to you, and I promise that I would destroy you too, just like you destroyed everything.
I promise you that.

Flashback Ends

“I heard the youngest member in which that Ethan Weasley’s blood used to run is now dead.”, Iris said happily, but I didn’t comment anything on that.
In my revenge thing, this was the last thing I wanted. I didn’t attack all these months on Sophia because she was pregnant, OR I would have kidnapped her on the very same day when she was trying to suicide on the bridge, but she was pregnant, and hurting innocent people was not my thing.
In fact, I didn’t even want to involve her in all this mess but knowing that she was that weakest point of her family that I could use to torture Ethan Weasley a little more, I couldn’t leave her just like that, even a nice part of me wanted to leave her.
‘I’m sorry, Sophia. But I will have to do with things that I have planned for you so that, seeing you in pain, Ethan Weasley will regret all his death and beg for my forgiveness, but he won’t get any.
Sophia, be prepared because you will be the one who will get hurt the most because you have a bad habit of trusting strangers and anyone so easily.’
