CHAPTER 30

SIA
I can't stop thinking about what happened to my father's house. Who could be behind this evil trying to stir up trouble between the two packs. None of them want to agree, Kevin still stands his ground that he knows nothing about it. He wouldn't be so sure if he was guilty, the sincerity in his eyes and voice.
Just when I thought I have had enough to think about, Alpha Logan shows up at the office. This could only mean one thing, trouble. Alpha Logan is not someone who would easily leave the comfort of his home to visit his rival. My father must have reported to him already, and he knows I'm here.
He won't stop looking at me and teasing me. I won't lie that his presence here makes me feel uncomfortable. He made sure of that with the way he's looking at me and smirking at the same time. He is mischievous.
'I will take you back home.' Was all I could hear in my head.
All these is happening because of me. Alpha Kevin has refused to admit to anything and challenged Alpha Logan. This is going to be a tough fight if they go to war. I don't want to think about what will happen to many innocent people. Lives may even get lost and my reputation will get worse.
I don't want anything to happen because of me. There must be something I can do and think of, somehow.
"You should ease up already. I told you that this is nothing to worry about. There won't be any war and we would be happy." He said getting into my thoughts again.
I stared into his eyes, with a smile that meant I trust him.
"I know. I am just thinking about the possibilities and the way out. We can't let our guard down yet." I replied.
He nodded in agreement, "We can't. We also can't keep worrying about what will happen. Give yourself a break. And prepare, we're going to my real home to stay for a while."
His real home! Why do I feel like I have been there before? Of course! It is the house where his mother, sister and troublesome brother live. We are going to be there for a while means nothing but trouble to me. How on earth am I supposed to stay there knowing they all hate me?
"Now?" I asked like I didn't hear him the first time.
"Yes. Get ready. As it is now, there are important matters pending that I have to attend to. My business can wait but the pack can't. They're very important, so I'll be attending to them for a while." He announced.
My hands feel sweaty. I hate trouble and want nothing to do with it. Yet it seems my destiny is to attract trouble wherever I go. I can't seem to fathom why they don't want to accept me. Aside from the fact that I am a low rank wolf, I don't see anything else I have done wrong than that.
We had a few meetings and left the company. He didn't even allow me go pack some of my things at the mansion. He says that everything I need to wear is at the mansion. That's a bit weird and impressive that he knows my size already.
"Has your childhood always been like this?" He asked while in the car.
I looked at him. "Not really. My dad used to like me until I shifted. I don't know, he just suddenly wants my life to end. He even accused my mother of cheating on him when we clearly share the same blood.
He nodded, "I understand the disappointment but he doesn't have to treat you that way. You're a shewolf to be precise, he shouldn't expect much from you."
That's what he thinks. My dad thinks differently. He raised us like we were warriors, he wanted everyone to respect him and his family. He wanted everyone to bow to us and fear us, he wanted us above everyone. Just to make him a great man.
"When I was younger, my parents had doubts that I'd shift into an Alpha. I wasn't really weak but I was very quiet. I never got into fights like Robin, and I always avoided fighting with Robin. So many times, Robin would hurt me. My father would scold me for not fighting back while my mother would laugh at me for being weak."
Whoa. Did he really go through all that? Everyone has their own story to tell isn't it? And here I was thinking his life has always been so perfect. But he's one of the strongest Alphas I know, why was he that way before? Perhaps this is why he became cold and strong?
"I never imagined that you'd go through something like that."
I am speechless. I have no idea what to say in this situation. Wow, you're like me? Then we are really made for each other. Weak wolves.
"I wasn't weak. I've never been weak. I was just born a naturally quiet person. My parents were shocked when I shifted to an Alpha. My brother was jealous, he thought I'd been weak all along. He wanted to fight me badly and I finally gave in. My parents scolded me for almost killing him. He has stopped trying to fight me since then."
Robin is the biggest bully I have ever seen. He does nothing but bully those around him. How does everyone else cope with him all these years? For him to dare to bully his older brother, just to prove his point of being a trouble maker.
"I always thought weakness is due to ranks but I was wrong. Weakness can happen to anyone, even an Alpha. Every wolf deserves equal rights like other ones, they just have to respect the higher rank. That's why I am making a decision that will change a lot of things."
"I have always seen you as a strong person. You scared the life out of me the first time we met. Somehow I could have left, but I didn't want to. You're teaching me to be strong, to stand up for myself for the first time in my life." I told him.
He smirked, "I teach you a lot of things. I'd be glad to you more for free."
Okay that tone is flirty. I can't help but blush, he's really too much. He turned a serious talk to a dirty talk.
"You're a bad boy. You always have to mention that... Here." I covered my face embarrassed.
"That? What's that? I don't know what you're talking about. I only said I could teach you things." He teased me.
I hit his arm playfully, "You're naughty!" Before I could stop myself. I covered my mouth and stared at him.
His facial expression changed, he leaned over to me. My cheeks hurt from blushing too much, I looked at Seth who is focused on the road.
"You're in trouble mate. Be prepared for a battle between you and I... Tonight. You just earned yourself a medal." He whispered seductively to my ears.
That really affected me, it sent cold shivers down my spine. I felt my body getting aroused by the sound of his husky voice. Did he just try to turn me on? In the car? Now I can't stop the way I desire him.
I coughed, "Your driver's here. Stop saying naughty things."
He winked at me, "That makes it even better. Do I throw him out so we can have some privacy?"
I gasped, "What? No!" In a whisper, "That's too harsh. Besides why would you do that to him? He has done nothing wrong."
"So we can have the needed privacy. You have no idea how badly I want you."
I pouted, "Don't be silly. We have a lot of matters at hand. You aren't scared at all, are you?"
He scoffed, "Why should I be? When I have done nothing wrong, I have nothing to fear. Now don't change the subject."
What? Is he being serious right now? He's going to throw Seth out of the car so we can...have sex. I couldn't help but laugh at the idea. It's cruel but then it's so much fun. Chasing the driver out of the car and driving away to have some privacy.
"No. That's a crazy idea. Let's just wait till later hmm." I told him still laughing.
Seth didn't say anything, he just focused on the road making me wonder if he ever talks. Kevin smiled and played with my hair. This is the kind of feeling I haven't had in my life, wanting someone so bad. So bad that I may go crazy if I don't have him. And I also want him for myself and no one.
The car suddenly stopped. Seth went to check it out. He was taking long so we stepped down to check him. The car was overheating and nothing he did made it stop. I feel so frustrated, we are far from a mechanic.
"Come on car. Don't do this, we have to go now. Why don't you just work?" I hit the car and surprisingly it worked.
Whoa. For a minute there, I thought I did some magic. Or maybe I did? What?! Kevin is looking at me strangely. I smiled nervously hoping he didn't see anything. This is a strange occurrence, what the hell just happened? We got back into the car, I couldn't get my mind off what happened.
We got to the mansion on time. Just when the car parked and we alighted, we were met with Kevin's mother and sister. They have that look of hatred and disgust directed at me. Making me wonder what I ever did to them to deserve this hatred.
"What is she doing here?" Annabelle asked frowning.
My heart raced like a marathon. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. How on earth am I going to survive this?
"She can't come into the this mansion. I refuse to let this witch in." She added fuming.
I gasped, witch? Where is that coming from? How am I a witch?
