5. Same Face Of Fear

Remus, hard-heartedly goes back to the pack. He is welcomed by his father at the big luxurious Packhouse where they have hundreds of maids and some slaves. Slaves as in the real definition of a slave. The system was created long before he was born. His great grandfather was the first alpha and the first creator of the system. The system which he hates the most.

"My son! My only son!" Said his father welcomes him with open hands, waiting for a hug from his son. Remus hugged his father back and stepped back.

His father is Arthur Black the alpha of the Crescent pack. His father lives alone without any Luna because his Luna has died while giving birth to Remus, the only son. And that cycle goes on and on for generations. The curse.

"You take your days off? Yes? From the campus?" Asked the father. Remus nodded his head. He lied to his father by saying he still got some semesters for his education, while actually he was graduated with his bachelor's degree a year ago.

His father lives alone, but it doesn't mean he literally alone. The slave system is the key here. His father sleeps around with the slaves and all the girls he wishes for.

"Good. Now...come on in. I have asked the maid to prep your room. We will have our first guest by next week, and we must make sure all the preparation is perfect, you know I like perfection right?"

Remus walked inside the Packhouse...or the best way to describe it is a castle. Minding the all gold and white decoration and the painting. His father loves the elegance of old Victoria everything by copying the old rich people do to their house.

Tomorrow the new maids will come, there will be many additional bits of help needed. That is the information his Butler said to Remus, the old man, who has served his life for more than twenty years, Remus has grown up seeing the man's hair went from black to white, the Butler is like a friend to Remus. The only friend after Sirius, his cousin.

"Why? Last year's...my father held this kind of event...but not this big?" Asked Remus, he is inside of his room and the Butler stands straight in front of him.

"I don't know the real reason, but...I guess...the alpha has a plan, for you, I am afraid?"

"Agh... Not this again!" Said Remus stressfully.

"You know the full story...I am saying this...so you can..."

"Prepare me, yes I know!" Continued Remus, actually there is only one word for this crazy scheme his father made, Run!

The Butler exits Remus' room in silence, leaving the owner of the room to think about what to do. He regrets his decision to come to the pack.

'Wait till the event start. If it is not up to you your liking... Run.' Suggested his wolf.

'It will be difficult, Prince!'

'You got me. I am quite reliable, you know.' Said his wolf proudly. Indeed his wolf is very reliable.

The morning after, there is a commotion outside. Remus heard the loud sound of people walking downstairs, what the heck is going on? He thought.

'The new slaves and maids have come. They don't know how to walk properly.' Answered the wolf. Indeed, everyone who lives at the packhouse knew the rule that the alpha hates loud sounds, they must walk as if they are gliding at the floor, no sound tolerated.

Remus laid his body again on the bed. Trying to close his eyes.

'Your father...made his presence notice, he is interested in one of the maids.' Said the wolf again.

'How do you know?' Asked Remus lazily. He doesn't care about whatever his father does.

'He scared the little girl. By saying little... I mean little, she is fifteen. Now your father brings the poor girl to his room...and has a way with the girl.' Explained the wolf again.

Remus frowned, this is so disgusting. He doesn't like any of this to happen forever to the pack. He doesn't want to be a man like his father...it is too disgusting.

'Make your appearance downstairs...and prove to them that you are not your father. And take the throne, be a better alpha.' Suggested Prince.

'Can I be better, what If I must suffer the same fate as my father? I don't wanna be cursed, I prefer to step down before getting on the throne.'

'And...who will be the alpha?' Prince protested, he is indeed the alpha...he wants the power.

'I don't care...I want to live a normal life. As normal as fuck...I want to be like a human, stay old with his wife...and children. I want to be normal.'

Prince doesn't reply. He is quiet the whole day. While Remus looking outside from his window...he is looking at the new maids and slaves who are being trained outside. All of them have the same face, Fear.
