When I looked at Charlie he looked so exhausted and in so much pain

I bit my lip in order to hold back the sob that I almost let out

When I came to this place, my main goal was to make the children feel like children again. I wanted to give them life , and for them to grow up healthy and happy.

I wanted them to have a childhood that I never had. One filled with love and joy and happiness, but now, here I was faced with a decision that would in one way or another end up in having to take away the life of one the same children that I vowed  to protect

"Leave"

I rasped out

That took the omega my surprise

"But we still need a directive from you Andrea."

"I'll take things from here. Thank you so much for all that you've done"

"But we are wolves and you're just human. What could you possibly do to he..."

"I said leave. Don't forget who is in charge Beatrice"

She held back what she wanted to say next and left.

The two omegas that were inside didn't hesitate and thus leaving me alone with little Charlie

Be strong. Be fearless.

Charlie let out a sharp exhale as he whimpered.

He curled himself into a ball before letting out a silent scream

I already knew what I was going to do.

I was going to make his last moments peaceful.

One thing that I swore not to even do was to end his life.

I know that it may have seemed inhumane, letting him continue to suffer and feel pain but one thing that I wanted to do was to let him fight.

As young as he was, I wasn't going to deny him the right to choose to fight

As I drew closer I collected myself and held his hand

This mad him open his eyes

"Drea" he whispered

"Hi little Charlie"

"Hi"

He let out a soft groan

"How you feeling?"

"Painful"

"Where does it hurt little Charlie?"

"Here ,here, here, here and here"

He pointed at his feet, then his arms then his chest, then his head and lastly his heart.

"Is it really that painful?"

He nodded and let out a sharp exhale

As much as he was in so much pain, he never cried. And that made me realize how strong he was despite his young age

I mean how many people could manage not to cry when the bones in their entire body were breaking and realigning themselves over and over again

"You know Charlie, you are a really strong boy"

"No I'm not,it hurts"he whispered as he held back a groan

Suddenly a notion hit me. What if what was happening to Charlie wasn't what Beatrice told me because in my previous pack, this is how the werewolves would behave when they wanted to shift for the first time

But Charlie was only six? But what if he was an early bloomer, then that would mean

He was about to shift but he probably didn't know how

I wanted to call back the Omegas that had just left but then something within me told me not to.

I phoned Bella and she came in less than ten minutes

When she saw Charlie,she was in shock

"I never believed when you sia dit on the phone but this...damn"

"This is no time to be shocked, what I'm I supposed to do"

"It's a good thing you called when you did , because he needs to shift now otherwise this could be bad"

"Get me some warm towels "

I didn't hesitate, I went looking for warm towels but by the time I was back, Charlie wasn't on the bed and Bella looked petrified

"What happened Bella? And where is Charlie?"

She pointed at the bed,but the only thing that was there were blankets and a lump underneath them

"You mean that he shifted"

"I need a fucking strong drink because I did not sign up for this"

And with that she left leaving me alone with 'Charlie'

"Charlie? are you okay?"

How could he possibly answer me when he had shifted

Instead a soft growl sounded

"It's okay, you can come out now"

I could see him pawing through the blankets, he was somehow stuck so I decided to assist him

When he finally got free I was shocked

Not at the fact that  he had shifted into a tiny pup but at the fact that the colour of his fur coat was half icy blue and half fiery red

Shit
