Her Passion 18

Ethan's POV:

Shit.

I couldn't think of anything else to say when I walked into my pack house the next day and the two bastards were sitting at my table talking to my parents as if they hadn't kicked my mate out when she was young! How dare they!

Anger.

Another emotion I felt towards them. Okay, that was a freaking understatement. I was furious, furious as I felt my upper lip pull back as I growled softly, my body shaking with rage as I resisted moving in place and taking them out. What right did they have to sit there? None, they damn well had none after what they had done!

I had walked into the pack house grinning as I looked at the clock and realised she would be here soon, my reason for living. I couldn't believe she had said yes, I knew she was uncomfortable at first, but I was relieved when she said it was okay for her to meet my parents.

In reality, it had been my parents who had indicated that I should meet the future alpha female of the pack, who would be given the title once I mated with her and marked her. It was at that moment that I caught their scents, the scents I now loathed, that I entered the hall, only to hear them talking to my parents as if they were the innocents I had once thought them to be. How could I have been so stupid to think they were good people, in my eyes they were monsters. Worse than some of the vampires I had encountered, and that's saying something.

The growl in my chest finally caught their attention as I leaned against the door frame as they sat in the kitchen, my posture stiff and my eyes tinged with my wolf as I stared at my mate's parents who were extremely uncomfortable under my gaze.

Good.

"Hi honey, what's going on?" my mother asked in a panic as my father immediately scanned the area, a habit he would probably never break since he was the previous alpha before I took over my rights.

"What are they doing here?" I asked tensely, literally fighting the urge not to give in to my instincts and my inner wolf that was telling me to transform and slit their throats. I could picture it now, the taste of blood in my mouth, the proud purr of my wolf as I stood in the bloody room. I shook my head quickly, sometimes I could really be bothered.

"Oh, you'll never guess, Ethan. Her daughter is back, you know, the one who ran away when she was little. I have no idea what she must have been thinking, I mean, leaving a loving family so young." my mother gushed, pausing when she noticed I was shaking and my nails clutching the door frame with inhuman strength.

I stared at the pathetic parents before me, pure disgust coursing through me as what Leo had told me went on.

Ran through my head over and over again. I felt sick with anger and pain, anger at how they had treated her, and pain knowing what she must have gone through.

I also couldn't believe the lies they were spreading, even gloating. A loving family? A loving family does not throw their daughter out of the house at 12 years old completely unprotected. A loving family does not lie about losing their daughter. The pack spent months trying to locate the little girl, only to find that she had completely disappeared. What kind of loving family would do something so sick? It was disgusting, they were disgusting, and aside from Leo, I couldn't stand the damn family!

"Son?" my father's deep voice broke through my mental rage as I jerked my head in his direction only to see him flinch, the fact that I was giving off pure alpha vibes and my eyes were most likely my wolves let me know that I wasn't exactly the friendliest face imaginable.

"What?" I asked, my voice firm with anger as I continued to stare at the now shy couple. I couldn't stand them, I hated them, and it took a lot for me to purely instinctively hate someone as much as I hated them.

"You need to calm down, what's got you so upset?" he asked curiously, following my gaze, which looked at me in confusion as I glared angrily at my mate's horrible parents. What kind of childhood had she had? With that thought, I was suddenly very curious, how had they treated her before she was kicked out? Had they been terrible to her? Did they beat her? That was the thought that made the trembling in my form rise to a whole new level, if they did, then it was my right to take revenge on them. Bastards!

"My mate's coming over, I want them gone," I declared, leaving no room for objection as I looked at them. The fact that they were my parents didn't bother me at that moment, I only had my mate's welfare in mind and that of my wolves.

"Your mate! I can not wait to finally meet her - why do they have to leave?" my mother asked, her excitement suddenly turning to confusion as to why I wanted the bastards to leave.

"Yes, why should we have to leave Hunter,
I would love the opportunity to meet the future alpha female," Scarlett, my mate's mother said, the bitch didn't know what to do to keep her mouth shut. I stared at the woman who was partly responsible for my mate's grief. The fact that she had put my mate in such a dangerous situation was unforgivable in my eyes. I could also hear the contempt hidden in her tone, her jealousy, and her anger that Sophia wasn't my mate. Bitch.

"I want you out of this house, and I want you out now!" I growled at them and was pleased to see them flinch. It was stupid of them to stay put and disobey me like they should have. I could have given them an alpha command of course, after all they were in my pack and territory, but pain was a much more tempting option at that moment.

"My father scolded me and was shocked when I turned my anger on him for the first time since I had become the Alpha. What right did he have to be on their side and not mine? How dare he!

"I said I want them out, if they refuse I will physically remove them!"

I snapped, my body humming as my muscles twitched with the urge to do just that.

"Now, why don't we all calm down for a minute. Are you sure this girl is your mate, Ethan? I thought you and Sophia bonded and sensed the mating signals," Luca, my mate's father said, and I growled as if I cared what that bastard thought.

"I don't want Sophia. This is your last warning..." I growled, only to be interrupted by my trembling mother. I didn't like that she was afraid of me, but I wasn't in the right frame of mind with those two sitting there, and they didn't deserve it!

"Son, please, think of your mate. What would she think of you acting like this?" my father asked, obviously trying to calm me down with thoughts of my mate. Okay, I'll give him that, it was a smart move on his part.

"She would tell me to get those pathetic excuses of parents out of here before I rip their throats out myself, and before you ask, they wouldn't be the first."

I heard a growl behind me, which made me tense up even more because the tone was so angry.

I watched as everyone paled at the sound of her voice, the harshness of her threat and confession draining the colour from their faces.

If she hadn't been so angry and staring in my direction, I would have told her she looked smoking hot when she was that angry. But I didn't have a death wish, so against my better judgement I kept my lips tightly sealed while my eyes slid over her form with undisguised lust. How the hell was I supposed to stop myself from jumping on her when she always looked so damn good?
