Jordan POV.
She's moving out of our room, but why would she do that, she can't leave me, I'm leaving in four days, and now I won't even have Ashlynn with me for those four days, the pain I'm feeling was too much to be put into words, I feel betrayed and left out, hated by my own family, I swallowed my pain and looked back at Ashlynn.
"There's no need for that Ash," I say swallowing down a lump inside my throat, it felt like the whole earth is now stuck in my throat, breathing has become much harder now, but I'm a good actor, I always have been, especially when it comes to Ash.
"You're an adult now, you'll want to bring in girls, or boys...you know, I know you want some privacy if you find your mate and all of that..." she says still on ranting, but I never brought a girl or a boy to my room, I've always decided to hold it until I find my mate, I want our first kiss to be together, our first sexual anything to be together, I want to hold it until I find my true other half until I find my one and only mate."Ashlynn...just stop, listen," I order my sister, the pain was way too much, I won't throw her out of the room she's been using since she was a child, this isn't right, my sister is only nineteen, she's not going to leave for college, she'd attend classes but still live in the house.
"What?" she says opening her mouth in an oh shape, making me smile, it's one of her cute habits."Ashlynn, I'm going off for training," I say deciding to tell her I'll be gone soon."What training! Why! I'll talk mom into allowing you to stay," she says, in other words, she'd annoy mom until she allows me to stay, but I don't want to stay now."I don't want to stay, Ashlynn, I need to go for a bit, I need the training," I say holding Ashlynn, tears started to fill her tears, she's on the verge of tears too, but Jacob won't do me any good here.
"But you my kitty," Ashlynn says tears going down her face freely now, Kitty, the name she gave me when she was just a toddler, I came to this family, small, fragile, and broken kid, toddler Ashlynn decided I look like a kitty with my blond hair and green eyes, the name stuck."I know Ash, I'll always be your brother, but I need to do this, I need to go for a while," I say holding her tighter, but the tears didn't stop, she was full-on sobbing now.
"When you leaving?" she asks between sobs."Tonight, after my birthday," I answer her, mom said birthday, we're both her children, mine is just as good as Jacob's."No go..." she cries, while I held into her, I need to make her stop crying, I can't take my baby sister's tears.
"Hey, Ash, maybe I'll find over that pack," I say, I was hopeful, I was hoping to find my mate soon, I'm not as strong as Keiran or mom is, I don't want to stay alone for long."Another kitty? Would it be a he or a she?" she asks forgetting her tears, now focusing on the possibility of me getting a mate."I don't know Ash, I don't mind either," I say it was the truth, I didn't mind either, I swing both ways."Last birthday for my kitty, gotta be realllyyyyyyyy good!" she says making me smile, she's the sweetest."Okay honey, come on, I promised Kiara some chocolate cake," I say holding Ashlynn's hand and going down for dinner and cake, we both made it to the dining table, Kiara was sitting on Jacob's lap, he must has talked her into sitting and stop crying.
"Happy birthday Jordan, to my son, you've always made me proud," Mom says holding her glass up, the rest raised their glass too, only mom and Keiran drink alcohol, the rest of us prefer coke or just water, Kiara likes juice."To Jordy," Keiran and Jacob say at the same time, while Ashlynn and Kiara went with "To kitten," as a nickname for me."Thank you, everyone," I say sitting at the table, starting to eat my dinner, small chat was shared between all of us, I haven't mentioned that I plan on leaving tonight, I'm waiting until after we have our dinner.
"Any new plans?" Jacob asks me, what plans? For the four days, I'm supposed to be staying here, no need to be a jerk brother, I think to myself."Well, I'll be leaving tonight," I say looking at my brother, but his eyes went wide, he didn't know?
"Go where Jordan?" he asks me confused."The blackthorn pack, mom says I will be training with them," I say with a big fake smile, trying to show my sisters it's going to be okay."But they aren't expecting you for another day or two," Mom says, her voice losing its alpha edge, she sounds like a mother who doesn't want to send her son away, it's not like I'm leaving forever, it's just training, I'll be back by the next season.
"I'm sure they won't mind having me early," I say with another big fake smile, I need to leave."That's fine Jordan, I'll message their alpha right now," Keiran says looking at me, we shared a look, he knew something was up with me, that maybe missing my mate is hurting me, he knows the feeling, he's been an adult for years now and still searching for his mate."Thank you Kei, now where's my cake!" I say ignoring the rest of my dinner, Kiara and Ashlynn clapped happily about the idea of getting some cake, they all sang for me, as I cut down the cake, handing the girls cake first.
After dinner, cake, and some gifts exchanged, I went up to my room to get packed, Ashlynn won't have to move out, I'm the one who'd be leaving now, I got some exercise clothes packed, some better-looking clothes, and finally a few hoodies since it's freezing cold outside, all my toiletries, I got dressed and was ready to leave."I'm ready," I say going downstairs, ready to get in my car and leave, but first I had to hug everyone, I didn't want to leave, but I need to leave now.
"Drive safe, it's a good whole night drive," Mom says, hugging me tighter than anyone else."Their alpha would message me directly, please don't get in trouble," Keiran warns me making me giggle, I'll try, no promises.Jordan POV. Driving is a skill I was taught by mom, she started to give me lessons back when I was fifteen, she said it's better to learn early, I agreed with her, I wanted to learn how to drive, I was really interested in learning new skills, I loved spending time with my mom. Back then, I wasn't as pissed as I'm full time, I was a happy person, I loved my mom, my sister, my brothers, my pack, but when did things start to change. A year ago, I was starting to change a year ago, but why would I start changing, I was almost an adult, I shouldn't have turned this way, I should have started to take my place in the pack, just like Keiran and Jacob were doing, but I couldn't, I was changing, toward the worse, I scared myself. After school, I went to university with Jacob, it was fun to get to college, I had the chance to meet new people, humans, other wolves, some of our pack, some of the other packs, it was a good friendly meeting overall, I graduated earlier this year, a big party was
Jordan POV. I yawned again, staying up the whole night watching movies with Ashlynn was something different than driving the whole night, the movies were fun, this is just annoying, the snow made the roads more dangerous, harder to drive. But I managed to drive through, I drove through most of the night, especially with my wolf small detour to have a late-night run, but I'm almost there. "Mom," I answer the phone annoyed, I'm tired, and annoyed, pissed truly, my wolf wasn't giving me any rest, I'm going to stop and get a coffee and some breakfast. "Where are you Jordan, you were supposed to be there two hours ago," she says over the phone, she was just worried about me, but that only made me angry. "I'm here now mother, I'm getting some food," I say skipping the coffee part, she'd lose it on my ass about me having coffee before food, but I'm twenty-one years old now, I'm an adult. "Jordy, the alpha isn't always the nicest person, to be honest, he's a bitch, but it's good training
Micah POV. Trust is something that's not given but earned, a baby would always trust his mother, he trusts her to feed him, keep him warm, take care of him. Trust is blind, every kid would follow his mother to hell knowing she'd keep him safe, but then we as grow up, the trust shifts, we meet friends, one we trust with our deepest secret, one we share things with. Then we become teenagers, we trust our lovers, the ones who we fell in love with to honor our love, our relationship, to be there for us as we are there for them. But then comes the biggest trust of them all, we trust our families, we trust our mommy, daddy, we trust the people who should have worked hard to get us the childhood we deserved, to get us to live happily, but what happens when that trust is broken, what about the small child who got burned in hell, about the friend who told everyone your secret or the lover who betrayed you. Let me tell you my story, when I was born, my mother didn't want to take care of me,
Micah POV. My name is the boy with trust issues, I mean Micah, Micah Blackthorn, I'm the alpha's only son, I'm his heir and the one in charge after him, I'm twenty-one years old, my birthday was last week, I just turned of age, the one where you're an adult, where more responsibilities get thrown your way and you're left to figure it out. I've been taking my father's place little by little, after the physical exercises and practice I have to endure, I now have to take on even more responsibilities, not ones that I enjoy, those are a pain in my bruised bum, today isn't any better, today is one of the worse days yet, today is another I have to spend with my father. I woke up with a groan, my whole body was aching, and in pain, I didn't want to wake up this early, I hardly slept last night, but now it's time to wake up, better get up on my own than to be woken up by my father or one of his minions, I got up and moved to the bathroom. I turned my shower on, not bothering to wait for th
Micah POV. The run was long, I had to keep pushing myself, Joshua wasn't taking it easy on me, he was taunting me with his moves, showing off how strong he is compared to me, we both spend most of our life training, but him trying to show off never gets old, he'll always try to over-speed me, to win the fight, although he knows it never ends well for me. After the run we all went back to the house, I needed a second shower, only this time, I waited for the water to get hot, I couldn't take any more coldness, the world was cold enough, I couldn't take any more coldness, it's over, I can't take any more of that, the hot water fell over my body. My burned shoulders hurt a lot, I gritted my teeth in pain, the hot water hurt, but it did well warming my soul, I didn't want to leave the hot water, I was enjoying the water way too much, but then there was a knock on my door, interrupting my only happiness, I turned the water off and sighed, it's time to come out. "Yes?" I answer whoever i
Micah POV. The alpha, of the boy, as dad put it, is really nice guy, he's not that old either, he's taking over his pack responsibilities just like me, for once I did not mind having to endure a long meeting. "Alpha Keiran, we'd be happy to host your brother over," I say with a smile, if dad wasn't here, I'd be happy to host many other wolves, I'd be happy to open our doors and let people in, let other wolves get involved with ours to change from our dull life to a more interstate one. Why push everyone out when you can have a full-on community, if I'm alpha, I would allow humans in too, they did us no harm, but maybe it's better that dad kept them out, they are liabilities, innocents who'd be hurt by the cruelty of father and our pack. "I'm glad to hear that alpha Micah," Keiran answers me, I flinched, I looked up, is this a test? He can't call me alpha, I'm the alpha's son, the supposed to be the next alpha, but I don't hold the title, father would whip me for hearing someone usi
Micah POV. Hide, stay quiet, keep down, my wolf is blond, he's sensitive to the winter sun just as much as my human form is, we went to our secret hiding place, staying away from all the other wolves, the one ordered to hurt us. 'Why they're doing that! Let me fight!' my wolf begs me, but I didn't want to fight them or get away, he's ready to go rogue to escape the pain we're going through every day and night, my wolf and the human form are both struggling with the miserable life we call ours, we want to get away, but we can't trust anyone, not my father either, he'd hunt us down and kill us. 'Stay down,' I order my wolf, ordering him to stay down to keep quiet while letting this day pass, it's better to be alone, it's better to be banned that going back and getting hurt again, although wolves can heal themselves, with how often I get injured, my body is filled with bruises, ones don't get enough time to heal before two others show instead. I closed my eyes and went to sleep, enjoy
Micah POV. The training was terrible, father joined us, he kept going for my neck, wanting to kill me maybe or just show his dominance over me, over and over again, it was getting old, but I couldn't submit to him every time, I couldn't let him win all the time, sometimes I want to win too. I was exhausted, but he wasn't going easy on us, he kept pushing us, I wanted to give in and fall on my back calling all of this off. "Push it you lazy arses," He yells, push it? I could hardly move anymore, but I had to move it, I kept moving until the day ended until I was too exhausted to stay up, finally allowed to leave back inside, we all had our dinner, the food we were allowed to eat around here, meet we hunt, our hard work, although burgers are always yummier. After dinner, a quick meal was shared between us, the betas, my mother, and Joshua, the rest of us just wanted to eat and run away, to go and hide in our rooms, while Joshua was enjoying the meal, talking with the others, talking
