Thankful

2.

Aurora.

Thankfully, I managed to overcome yesterday's ordeal without getting on the wrong side of my mother. Now, we were on our way to the camp of the werewolves.

I couldn't understand why my mother, a human, had decided to marry a supernatural man this time.

Imagine my shock when I got to know that the werewolves that were supposed to exist only in fairytale truly exist? I couldn't help but think if demons, witches and wizards, dragons, and every other supposed fairytale beasts were, in fact, not just fairy-tale.

I took my mind off it as I saw Alpha Townsend, the man my mother was marrying, walked into the large hall where the wedding and vow exchange was going to be taking place.

Beside him were three men who looked identical yet different in their eyecolors and body builds.

The first one was very handsome with his thick, silky black hair and deep blue eyes and broad shoulders. His eyes looked very cold as he regarded everyone in the room. Even I shivered from the intensity of the coldness I saw. He also seemed to be the strongest among his brothers.

The second one has thick silky black hair with a strong chin. His eyes were the most unique part of him as he had two different colours. The first eye was deep blue while the second was golden. I knew there was a name for such, but I had forgotten at the moment. He was a little bit shorter than the first guy. He also has this cocky grin to his mouth that made him seem jovial. Except that the hard glint in his eyes said otherwise.

The third brother also has the same silky black hair like his two brothers. His eyes were golden color. He seemed to be the carefree brother if the way he didn't button half of his shirt was any indication. Compared to the build of his two brothers, he seemed skinny just standing between them both.

These were the children of Alpha Townsend? And they were to be my stepbrothers?

I gulped as they all came to where Mother and I were standing. The Alpha held my hand and pulled me into a brief tight hug. I stiffened in his arms a little, hating the close contact with the man. He released me soon and patted my cheek in an affectionate manner.

"Meet my three sons." He said and gestured to them one after the other. "Tristan, Titan, and Tilder." He turned to his sons and said, "Meet Aurora, your soon to be stepsister."

I nodded my head at each of them in acknowledgement.

Tristan looked at me from head to toes. He hissed loudly after that and walked away. Titan, on the other hand, stared at my face for a long while, I touched my face to see if there was something on it.

"So, you are the slut's daughter. Hmm." He let out. That said, he turned around and walked away also.

I steeled myself for what Tilder would say about me. The man surprised me by laughing. I didn't know if his laughter was supposed to make me weary or happy.

"I can't wait to see how you will turn out." He said to me. Then, he followed his two brothers.

As soon as they were all gone, I released the breath I didn't know I was holding. The Alpha patted me on the shoulder softly and I looked at him.

"They'll come around." He said warmly.

I wanted to tell him that it doesn't matter to me, but I clamped my mouth shut when I saw my mother looking at me like it was my fault the boys had all walked out on me.

"Let's get this wedding over with, shall we?" I chanted out, eager to be done with all these troubles as fast as I could.

The wedding vows were said about an hour after that, with the people from Cold Heart Pack acting as witnesses to the union between their Alpha and my mother. A few people came from my mother's side too, but they were not many. I wasn't surprised about that, considering how the woman acted like the devil's incarnate most of the time. I just still couldn't understand how such a sweet and loving man like Alpha Townsend fell for her vile nature.

As soon as the ceremony was done, I began to help the servants, who I learned were referred to as Omegas in the werewolf world, pack up. They tried to stop me but I didn't listen.

If only they knew my life was worse than theirs...

I picked up the dishes that were used to serve the guests and made my way to the kitchen. I was already at the door before I noticed the presence of Titan. My first thought was to walk away from him, but I knew how childish it would seem since I was sure he had already seen me. I decided to just ignore him and go about my business. So, I stepped inside and began to arrange the dishes neatly. He also ignored me like I didn't exist.

I saw from my peripheral as he picked the bottle of water from the fridge and opened it. He gulped some of the water, and I couldn't help but notice how his Adam's apple moved with the motion. Lust grew in me, and I felt the space between my thighs pooled.

I tried to clasp my legs together to stop the feeling, but it only seemed to intensify the pleasure. I tried to remind myself that the man was my brother, but the logic didn't work.

Who knew that watching a man drink water could bring so much calamity to one?

Titan dropped the half filled bottle on the table top and turned to look at me. His two colored eyes blazed pure hatred at me, and I looked down.

"So, you are really a slut like your mother!" He sneered at me.

I looked up, my eyes filled with shock. Had he somehow noticed that I got horny because of him? I couldn't see how that could be since I made sure to act nonchalant around him.

He stepped closer to me and held my jaw with his hand in a not so tender way. "Have you forgotten that I'm a werewolf and that werewolves can sell desires?" He released me from his hold and hissed at me.

In seconds, I was left alone in the kitchen, trying to see how I could disappear from the pack before I ever have to face the man again.
