Chapter 25: Tension of Secrets

Kyle's POV

I thought of how I would escape the two guards again. Iknew distracting them wouldn't work again. They would definitely suspect something.

Aria seeing me wasn't part of the plan. I could not afford another person seeing me. They were just wolves, I could outrun them easily.

I just decided to run past them, hopefully they wouldn't see me. Even if they saw me, they wouldn't catch me even if they tried their best .

I ran past them without stopping. When I was far enough I stopped to hear what they were saying.

"What was that?" I heard one of them say .

"I don't know. It's probably the wind." The other one said.

"It's about to rain." Another one said .
It did make sense. It looked like it would rain. So was the best excuse .
I left afterwards to go home. Thinking about what he was up to, I cringed.

I suspected my dad did something to Lyla but I was wrong. I couldn't predict him at all.
I thought I could. I didn't know when he would strike. Lyla needed my help. I didn't care what Aria thought , I wouldn't let my dad harm Lyla.

Considering the kind of person he was, he would strike big. This was bad.

I walked inside and saw my dad in the dinning table eating. Normally, I greeted him when I saw him but I didn't need to anymore .

I walked past him making my way to my room. "Kyle," he called out.

I turned around to see what he wanted. I didn't want to talk to him. " Come and join me. Let's eat together." He said more like pleading.

I would be a fool, if I didn't know him by now. "No, thank you. I'm not hungry ." I responded and turned to leave .

"Come on, Kyle. Just join me, we've never had a meal together." He said .

He was right. We never ate together. He practically forget we livee in the same house.

Maybe I could figure out what he was planning if I ate with him. I could get something from him. It would not be easy but I could give it a try.

"Fine." I said and walked toward the dinning table.

"Get his food for him." My dad told one of the maids.

I watched him closely to see if I could read him but nothing.

The maid arrived with my meal and dropped it before me. I looked at the food carefully. Maybe his plan was to kill and get me out of his way. I thought to my self .

It could be true. " I didn't poison you." My dad stated .

"How do I guarantee that you're saying the truth?" I asked.

"You can't . Just know that if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't do it in from of them" he said pointing to the maids .

What he said made me think about my mom. What if he did kill her in secret?

"What are you thinking about ? I didn't poison it." He assured me.

He didnt look like he poisoned me . He was trying to convince me that he didn't for some reason.

I took a bit out of the food and waited a bit for any side effects. Nothing happened , then I took another .

This was posted good to be true. Having a normal meal with my father was weird.


"What do you want, father ?" I asked him.

"What do you mean , son?" He asked .

"Son?" I scoffed. " You made it pretty clear to me that I wasn't your son. So what exactly do you want ?" I asked .

"What is wrong in having a normal mean with my son?" He asked .

I I didn't k now him ,I would have believed this crap. He was certainly a good actor.

"Ohhh…jusy cut the crap. Just say what you want to say and lets get this over with."I suggested .

Everything he did was painful but pretending was even worse. He liked playing this sick games.

Come on Kyle. I just wanted to talk to you about your life. Like father and son do."

Was this man actually serious.
"Remember, Dad. I am an abomination. I'm not your son. So stop with the act. It's getting old."

"Okay, fine. You caught me." He said smiling. "You couldn't just let me have fun."

He finally admitted. I was disappointed, I was happy because I didn't fall for it . That meant I was improving.

"You're smarter than you look." He said .
He was really getting on my nerves .

"If you have nothing to say, I'm going to my room." I stated.
I was about to stand up. "You haven't completed the assignment i gave you." The smile disappeared from his face.

"What assignment?" I made it clear I wasn't going to give him information concerning Lyla. So I hoped it was another assignment that I couldn't just remember.

"The wolf girl, you idiot!!" He shouted.
I had never seen him loose his cool this way before.

"I told you I'm not doing any of that anymore." I said.


"I didn't give you permission to back out. You know what I'm capable of. Do not provoke me, Kyle ." He demanded .

"I don't know what you want me to tell you about her. She's a werewolf like any other wolf here."

I knew she wasn't just a werewolf like everyone else. She wasn't normal at all. I needed to find out about her before my dad does.
She had this aura that was intriguing but I wasn't going to tell my dad about this.

"If this was really true, you would have told me this." He said .

"I told you I wanted nothing to do with this. I am not going to spy on someone for you and get information from her. I am not doing that."

"I told you to not provoke me, kyle."

"I'm not trying to provoke you. But you can think of it as whatever you want. I still stand on my decision, I'm doing nothing for you.Excuse me." I said and stood up from the dinning table and left his sight. He didnt bother calling me back because he knew I was serious.
I walked up to my room.
How was I to find out what Lyla truly was? I asked myself .I thought about asking her but resulted that it wasn't a good idea .

Aria didn't trust me at all so I doubt she would tell me anything.
Something was really weird about Lyla and i needed to find out what it was.
