Chapter Text
Ten Years Ago....
Oliver looks around his dad's office. Oliver Queen is the son of the Alpha of the Royal Pack. When he becomes age twenty five, he will become the Alpha of the pack. He needs to show strength in front of the younger kids of the pack who have been put into this room. He has no idea what is going, but whatever it is must be huge.
Oliver hears his father roar. The room of chattering children goes quiet as they all turn to look at him. At only sixteen, Oliver isn't part of the pack shared brain. All he knows is it sounds like his dad is in despair. Oliver hears him roar again, but this time he must be in his wolf form.
Oliver's eight year old sister runs into his arms, "Ollie?"
He picks her up and cuddles her to his chest. He rocks her back and forth. He notices a little girl with long brown hair and glasses looking at him with fear. "Are you okay?"
She nods, but he doesn't believe her. She is hiding her fear which is unusual for a tiny cub like her. Oliver doesn't have time to question as the other children start to cry as the wolves all howl.
The door opens and Lyla Michaels Diggle walks in followed by some of the other females of the pack. They gather up all the children except for ten children. Among them are Oliver and his little sister Thea. The brown haired girl he was worried about. His friends Tommy, Adrian and Barry. The other kids are new to the pack.
"Gather around children. The older boys all stay standing with Oliver holding Thea. The younger kids all sit down on the floor around Lyla.
"I hate to tell you this my sweet little cubs...the convoy who went out today with Luna Moira were all killed...."
"The Luna?" Oliver whispers asking after his mom.
"She was killed. Along with the men and women who were with her on her mission."
Thea starts to cry. She knows what the words are, but does she really understand her mom is never coming home? He doesn't know. He lets only a few tears escape. He looks to Tommy..his beloved Mom was his entire world. Adrian's father was the head of Moira's security so he is gone now too. The others he doesn't really know who they lost, but all of them have lost someone.
Later that night, Oliver puts Thea down in her bed. He walks to his room to see Diggle, Adrian and Tommy standing there.
"Any ideas who did this to the pack?"
"No." Adrian and Tommy announce.
"Diggle?"
"I can't tell you anything. I am sorry. Once you become part of the pack officially you will learn more then as Alpha you will be in charge." Digg looks at him with quiet reassurance, "I hope you understand."
Oliver nods. He doesn't like it, but he knows one day he will avenge the deaths. Someone will pay.
