1 1. A Protector.

"RACHEL... ATHENA…!!!"

A man around 40 years went into his house, calling his daughters with full of excitement in his voice.

"Dadda...", A little girl came out her of room, shrieking and yelling in happiness as both twins, who were around 12, sneaked downstairs, came running with a twinkling happiness on their faces.

"My beautiful girls... Come here...", said the man with a smile, spreading his arms widely, and the both twins directly went into his arms.

"So, you have decided to keep away your mom from the family hug, huh? Okay, no problem… Guess, you guys don't want to eat the fresh meat, your dad bought?", said a woman around 35, and chuckled as she walked out of the kitchen, and went towards them.

"Zelda, How would we forget you? Come join us in our hug!", said the man with a wink and bright smile on his face, making Zelda smirk and blush.

"Yes, Mumma! Join us!", said Rachel, one of twins, raising her brows in utmost excitement, and Zelda joined the hug.

They all laughed out aloud as they hugged each other, and the man kissed their foreheads.

"This is what I want for the lifetime..."

The man was cut off in his mid-sentence, and eyes widened in shock.

'They are heading towards us! They are near!!! Tell the girls to leave, NOW!!!', screamed his wolf Lupus, as he was trying to take control over him.

"What happened?" Zelda asked anxiously.

"They are here!" The man answered with his trembling voice, making Zelda's eyes widened in disappointment.

"No... That can't be possible!" Zelda replied as tears started rolling down from her eyes.

"It's POSSIBLE... Get the kids." The man shouted hurriedly.

"Titan... MY KIDS…!!!"

Zelda got cut off in her mid-sentence as she saw his eyes shifting towards golden beam, and his wife knew that his wolf Lupus took the control over him!

"Let's go," The man shouted as he took his two daughters in his arms, and walked to the backyards, heading to the forest.

"Titan... We can't escape anymore...", Zelda screamed with tears in her eyes.

"No... I will save you and my daughters, no matter what!" Titan replied, trying his best way to escape anyhow.

"But it's impossible... They are behind us... for 15 freaking years!", Zelda stuttered as a tear fell down from her eyes.

Titan turned towards Zelda, and saw her glaring at the kids, with a fear on her face.

Titan brought his kids down from his arms, and looked at them tenderly, and tried to recall how they looked, with round faces, hazel eyes and long black shiny hairs.

"Girls, listen to me carefully… Remember when I told you guys that I'm not a human but a WEREWOLF.", said Titan, and the both the girls nodded their heads.

The younger one already understood what her father was about to say.

"Athena, you have to be careful, until you turn 18 and should take care of your elder sister, for me! Make sure you are safe! You would transform, when the right time arrives. You have your wolf to depend on, and she will guide you in your every step, and trust her blindly, no matter what. Use your powers if you need them to get yourself, your sister and your mother out of this place.", said Titan sternly, and the little girl was unable to stop the tears to flow down her cheeks.

Athena knew what her father was telling, and her wolf Raksha, was whimpering, knowing that their father was going to fight with the men, he told them about.

Athena was reading her father's mind, and was begging her father's wolf Lupus to let her use her powers, to stop the men!

But her Lupus was blocking her out! No matter, how much she tried!

"Titan!!! Please come with us! We all can get out of here!", Zelda was begging her husband to come with them and was trying so hard to convince him to come with them, through telepathy, but he built a strong wall around his thoughts, blocking all her efforts!

"Titan, I will be here with you! I will fight for our kids!" Zelda was begging her husband to let her help him.

Zelda might not be a werewolf by birth. But after mating with her husband, she acquired some of his powers!

"No Zelda! I can't let you stay with me. You have to take care of the girls. Please!", Titan replied to her with his mind link.

After hearing all this Rachel started panicking.

Rachel never knew that her twin sister was a wolf too. She looked at Titan, with her fear in her eyes.

"Dad, Mom… Is Athena a werewolf too?" Rachel asked in her trembling voice.

"Don't be scared, Rachel. Athena will never hurt you. She will always protect you! No matter what. Please take care of your mother and your sister… Your sister will need your help. Don't run away, when your mom and sister need help. OK?" Titan asked his elder daughter, trying to control her emotions.

"Dad… I will always help mom and Athena. I know Athena is a mute girl. So, I will continue to help her as I helped her, until now. Don't worry, Dad! You go and fight with those guys!" Rachel told boldly to her dad.

She didn't know who those guys were, as Zelda and Titan never told her about anything as she is a human and didn't want to scare her any way. Only Athena knew what was happening.

Titan smiled at her elder daughter and pulled both his daughter's onto his arms.

He hugged them tightly, and his wolf Lupus, wanted to savour that moment as long as possible. He wanted to teach Athena how to control her wolf after she transformed but he couldn't.

Titan knew his daughter's wolf was not a common wolf; her wolf was a descendant of his great-grandmother. He was proud of his younger daughter. But, he couldn't do anything then, he knew that he had to let them go and fight with those people, who had been behind them for years!

Titan let them go and stood up, and pulled his wife into his arms. Zelda started sobbing badly, but they both knew that they would be together again.
