Part A: Chapter 15

***Unknown’s POV***

Sean was adamant on seeing her after we left the Carmichael estate but I refused. I didn’t want him seeing her, period. But he kept persisting for over a week and I finally consented, knowing he was never going to leave me alone until he met her. Why? I had no idea.

“When we get in there, I want you to behave yourself, do you understand what I am saying?” I asked as we stood outside the door of where that shameless slut had been kept. “You are not to make a scene or I swear you will regret it. I don’t need any more fuck ups.”

Sean rolled his eyes like he always did when he spoke to me and it annoyed me. I wasn’t amusing nor was I something he could get amusement from. “Relax, I know what to do, you don’t have to act like I’m a child. I’m the oldest here remember,” he said like he was talking to a seven-year-old child who didn’t know anything.

“Don’t, just promise me you will behave,” I tried again, but this time shooting him a warning look.

He sighed, patted my head and then opened the door. She was still in the same spot like last time, still wearing the same dirty clothes and a bag covering her head. She looked horrible from the head down and I wondered what she looked like underneath that bag. I wrinkled my nose in disgust.

“Jeez, why did you do this to her?” Sean asked when he saw her and then he walked over to her, kneeling in front of her. “Does she even eat? I know you don’t like her but you can’t be so cruel as to starve her.”

I rolled my eyes and turned to the pitiful omega who was standing guard. “Leave us,” I said with disinterest. He bowed and left.

“Bring her something to eat,” Sean shouted as the man left and then he turned his gaze on me. “I’m taking this stupid bag off her head. You should know better than to treat like a commoner because if he finds out you kidnapped her out of jealousy and treated like crap, he will kill you and there is nothing that I can do.”

He stood up and slowly removed the bag from her head. Her braids looked like they needed attention and her eyes were closed with dried blood matted to her forehead and the corner of her head. Was she dead? That would even be better because that would mean she was gone from our lives.

“For fucks sake Lila,” he said as he saw her and then shot me a glare. “If he kills you, I will watch. She’s still one of us, you know.”

“She’s nothing like us. She is nothing but a lowlife who shouldn’t even be in our presence,” I snapped. “Don’t even think of doing anything stupid because we are both in this together.”

“If I had known this was how sick you were, I would have kept my distance.”

I scoffed and rolled my eyes, “we both know that you wouldn’t let anything bad happen to me. I’m your little sister and you do anything to protect me.”

Sean wanted to say something but her eyes opened and my heart beat increased. Sean noticed me looking panicked and he turned to look at her. “Hey sweetie, how are you feeling?” he asked, tucking her braids behind her ear. “Do you need something to drink?”

I narrowed my eyes, “why are you being nice to her? She doesn’t deserve it,” I said and that earned me a glare from him.

“She’s cute,” he replied coolly. “And I for one, don’t want her thinking this was all my doing.”

Of course, he was always playing the hero whenever a cute girl or pretty woman was involved and acted like I didn’t exist.

“Bring water,” he barked and moments later someone walked in with a water bottle and handed it to him. He uncapped the lid and placed the bottle to her lips. She drank feverishly and when she was done, she looked at him with sad eyes.

“Please, let me go,” she rasped and her voice cracked at the end. “Help me."

Sean’s eyes softened as his hand caressed her cheek lightly, “I’m sorry this is happening to you but my sister seems to not like you,” he said softly and the whole thing was making me want to gag.

Her eyes darted in my direction and I could see the cogs turning trying to place me but she didn’t know me.

“I didn’t do anything,” she said quietly. “Please, please save me. Help me. I don’t even know her or what I could have done.”

“Just shut up already, no one wants to hear you speak,” I yelled. Her voice was annoying me and I didn’t think I could hear anymore of it.

Sean turned his hot blazing gaze on me and my world cowered. He was using his wolf to make me obey him and I hated it. “Watch your mouth Lila, do not disrespect me or cause any more trouble than needs to be. You’ve already done enough,” he growled and I could her cower as well. “And I like her voice, I think it’s cute.”

I bowed my head and sighed, “I’m sorry, it’s just that she annoys me and I don’t even want to see her, much less hear her annoying voice.”

“This is too extra, we aren’t kidnappers and that is not how my pack will be known as once I am Alpha,” he continued, “I’m taking her with me back. Just because you don’t like her doesn’t mean I have to hate her like you do.” He bent down and untied her legs then her hands.

I watched the whole thing, feeling my blood boiling and my wolf struggling to come out and devour her. But I couldn’t do anything, Sean was stronger than me and he was going to be Alpha when dad passed which means I had to obey whatever he said even if I didn’t like it. Fuck, I really didn’t like it.

Once he was done, he placed one hand around her shoulder and the other around her waist and helped her to her feet. “Let’s take you home and have you cleaned up,” he said.

She nearly fell as Sean was walking them outside and he did the dumbest thing, he lifted her up in his arms as if she was his bride and they both disappeared from the room.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. This couldn’t have gotten worse. What else was left?

I rushed out and found them just as he was placing her in the backseat and then turned to the driver’s side. I grabbed his arm and stopped him from entering the car.

“What the fuck are you doing Sean? Do you think this is funny?” I whisper-yelled.

“I’m taking her home with us and I’m going to keep her,” he muttered. “And if you have a problem with that, you can take it up with me when we get home.”

“You have got to be kidding me, we can't hear her. She needs to die,” I hissed.

Sean’s eyes narrowed and he took a step closer until his breath was fanning me and then he looked down at me. “Since you want her out of your life, you will have it. Aidan will never know where she is and you can continue pining over him like a lunatic while I make her mine. Do you understand?” he barked

I threw my hands in the air and spun on my heel, walking over to the passenger’s side and getting in. This was unbelievable. Just was so special about her that even Sean would want her?

“She’ll be staying with me, I don’t want any funny business from you,” Sean glared at me after he had taken her to his room and assigned some of the maids to tend to her and her wounds. “She’s now under my protection, you can leave her alone and focus your energy on trying to get Aidan to like you back or better yet, make you his mate.”

“I’m getting tired of your antics and always cleaning after you,” he murmured the last part to himself but I heard it and it hurt. He was supposed to be the only one I could count on.

“But he’s going to come after you when he finds out and he will,” I muttered quietly, still feeling the sting of his words. He hadn’t ever spoken to me like that.

“I can handle myself better than you can,” he sneered at me and then he left after that and I remained stunned and mute. I tried to process his words but failed.
