367-Innocent Heart
Author's POV:
Many Years Ago,
"Go Thiago! Save yourself!" his mother shouted at him while trying to fight off the crazy and lustful
alpha king. Thiago did what his mother told him. He started sprinting into the woods to somehow reach
his pack and ask his father for help. He ran and ran. His little legs didn't even want to give up because
his mother needed him.
"I must tell dad to help mom," he said, rushing through the trees and making his way to his pack.
"Dad needs to save mom,â he repeated, tripping and hitting his head hard. He didn't even let out a cry,
and he got on his feet the next minute to make sure he didn't waste any time.
"Help!" He then let out a scream after running for an hour and watching his pack arrive. The guards at
the pack border shared a glance and then looked his way.
"Alpha Thiago? Your Highness! What is going on?" The guards approached him, and Thiago finally
stopped.
"D--ad!" he stuttered, fighting for his breath.
"Dad n-eeds to help mom," he whispered, slowly breaking down as reality began to settle in. Once he
was done with his mission to reach the pack, he began to cry like the innocent child he was.
"I don't understand what you mean. Where is Luna?â The guard looked behind him and instantly
realized something was definitely not right.
"I will go get Alpha Shepherd," the guard said, running towards the mansion while the other guard
offered Thiago water.
He was sobbing uncontrollably and not accepting any help. His dad arrived at the scene and pulled his
son aside to make sure he spoke to him in private first.
"Dad!" Thiago hugged his father. "Mom needs you.â He whispered, making sure the guards didn't hear
anything. He just felt like he needed to save everything from his mother.
"Some bad wolf was hurting mom,â he yelled, pulling away from his father.
"What are you saying?â Shepard straightened his back and then gestured at the guards to get ready.
"I know where they are; we need to hurry.â Thiago held his fatherâs hand and started pulling him along.
"No! You tell me where they are, and I will go save her. You are going to stay here," Shepard disagreed
with the idea of taking his son along. Thiago had been crying so much that he looked like he was going
to faint. He had also run for an hour and more in the cold weather. His little body and muscles were
sore.
Thiago quickly told them all about the directions while the guard took him back to the mansion. He
spent the entire night crying while sitting on the cold floor and waiting for his parents to arrive.
"They must have saved her, right?" He turned to the Royal beta, who looked very sad at the condition
of the little prince.
"Janet! Come here, my dear daughter. Why don't you take Thiago to his room and you two play some
video games?" Mr.
Mackenzie eyed his little daughter, who was the same age as Thiago, to distract him as he denied
leaving the cold spot near the entrance of his mansion.
"I don't want to play any games. I want to sit here and welcome my parents,â Thiago shook his head,
denying to take any help.
"Uncle! Why don't you call dad and ask him where mom is? Is she hurt?" he turned to Mr. Mackenzie
and stared at him with his crystal grey eyes, begging to know how his mother is.
"Umm-I â will. But you know she will be very sad if she finds out you didn't go to bed and sat here in
high feverâ oh Goddess!
My child! You have a high fever," Mr. Mackenzie expressed, shocked when he touched Thiago's face.
"I am fine," Thiago shook his head once again.
"Thiago! Your mom will be very upset if-," Mr. Makenzie paused once he noticed Thiago wasn't even
listening to him.
"Oh, no!" The royal beta got on his feet and walked over to speak to the guard.
"He has a high fever. I don't know how to tell him what happened to his mother,â he sighed, feeling bad
for the little boy who had been staring at the door, hoping to find his parents walking inside, holding
hands.
"What exactly happened?â It was then that Royal Beta asked the guard, who was told to inform
Mackenzie of everything.
"By the time they arrived, the car and Luna were gone. It didn't even seem like what Prince Thiago said
was true. In fact, they found the car tracks leading to the hills. Maybe the car broke down and she told
Thiago to wait on the side while she tried to fix it; maybe she sped away? Nobody knows what
happened until the car is found,â the guard said, and the two watched Thiago's eyes close by force.
"I have to rush him to the hospital," Mr. Makenzie said when he saw Thiago's body drifting to the side
as he passed out from fever.
He took him to the hospital while Lord Shepard spent the night with the investigators looking for the car.
"We found something!" a warrior yelled from down the hills.
"What is it?â a cop yelled.
"It is Luna's car, and â Oh My God!" The warrior started throwing up. It was enough to make Lord
Shepard uneasy.
He rushed to the bottom like a beast to see what they had found. The moment he saw the sight, his
heart stopped. Before him was a car that had run off the cliff, and inside it was his dead Luna.
"No!" Shepard screamed, watching the silver traps that were supposed to keep the rogues out pierce
through her heart.
She must have died hours ago, all alone and miserable.
"My Luna!" Shepard dropped to his knees while a pack doctor ran to inspect her dead body.
"Umm! There he paused after taking one look at the body, "There seemed to have been a foul play,â he
murmured and Shepard's eyes grew double the size in shock.
