Chapter 2

Bounce's POV

Mama is a lycan and a very strong one. She does tell me stories of how she would war beside her father and take down hundreds of wolves in minutes. I've not seen my mother fight before but I've seen her train and I know she's very good. I looked again and saw a lot of wolves that were not ours on the floor.

I was still thinking when I saw my mama move her hand.

"Mama," I called.

I didn't want those people to come and know that she's still alive.

Mama opened her eyes slowly and she looked very weak. I was so happy that I began to cry. Mama smiled a bitter smile and touched my tearful cheek.

"Don't cry, my boy," she said weakly.

"Mama what happened?" I asked sniffing.

"Ahhh be quiet" mama cautions since my voice was a bit loud.

I nodded severally.

"Listen carefully to what I want to say to you today, Bounce," she said weakly.

I had to move my ears closer to hers so I could hear what she was trying to tell me. My heart was shattered in pieces that tears couldn't stop flowing as I saw my ever frivolous mama who was too weak to talk.

"Don't be like your father who is too kind and underestimates people. Make sure you grow so big that you can conquer anything that comes your way. That is the revenge I asked for all these. Look carefully at all those people who ruined your home and killed hundreds of your people to make sure they are never able to find their place close to you. Make sure you make them your footstool Bounce. Make sure....." Her voice wavered.

" Mama don't talk anymore. I'll find a way to break us out" I said confidently.

Mama shook her head." It's too late, son. I've lost too much blood to survive" she struggled to say.

" No, we can still do something," I said confidently.

I tried to pull her up but because I was so small I couldn't even shift her position but I didn't give up. Papa has always told me not to give up.

"You have to go if you want to live to avenge our death" she groaned.

" No" I shouted, forgetting that I was supposed to be silent if I wanted to rescue my mama. I regret what I did immediately.

"You have to run," mama pleaded.

I looked at her then to the people who were already staring at me, then to my already dead papa whose heart was ripped out and placed beside him. My heart heaved at the brutality at which my parents were murdered. Now I was so desperate to survive. I looked at their faces with a very angry look. The four leaders. Even if I had to pass through the lion's den so as to survive, I would and come back for them.

I began to run thinking they would follow me but to my surprise they didn't even do as if they noticed me. They just went back to their discussion. I was glad they were letting me escape but I didn't stop running. When I thought I was about to leave the pack hall, a werewolf appeared in front of me and grabbed me by the neck that I began to choke. He then shoved me to the wall. I didn't even make a sound when he grabbed me and shoved me. Me being shoved at the wall was the last thing I remember.
