You killed my father

Natalia's POV

I banged heavily on the door of the room I was locked in, disturbing the whole pack house. I wanted to stay put the way I stayed before, but I decided against it. Why would I give them peace when they practically rubbed me of mine?

It didn't take long before the door creaked open. I wondered who Aaron had sent to get me this time, but as the person entered, I was surprised to see that he was the one.

He stared at me for a while, and I wondered the thoughts that ran through his head. It broke my heart over and over again that he was the one to cause me all these pain. We were a family, and he betrayed us like this.

"Come join me for breakfast." He uttered, before he turned to leave.

I stared at myself. I needed a shower and change of clothes. I was disgusted by my own appearance and smell. I even dreaded looking into the mirror, because I was sure that I looked horrible. My eyes were probably swollen from my cries. I had been crying since the day Aaron attacked the pack and killed my father.

I stood up, deciding to go out. Since he invited me to join him for breakfast, he might as well let me bath.

I didn't take go to him, as I found my way to my old bedroom. I saw some omegas, and they looked at me like I had grown a second head. They were probably wondering how I was walking so freely around the house, but they didn't speak to me. I didn't even bother to pay them any attention. They were all traitors.

I entered my room, expecting to see it all messed up, but to my greatest surprise, everything remained as they were before. Not a single object was moved or out of place. It was very strange, considering what happened.

I entered my bathroom to take a shower, washing and scrubbing myself as if I could wash all my pains away. I even ended up giving myself some wounds from scrubbing too hard. Then I went back inside the room to change. After that, I went to the dining, where I met Aaron sitting alone and eating.

I saw my food already served, and I joined him, sitting far away from him. The smell of the food wafted into my nostrils, and my stomach growled in response, reminding of how hungry I was. I was given food, but Kenneth ensured that it was very little.

I slowly began to eat, but I was too aware of Aaron's presence to focus. I looked up and saw him looking at me.

"I called you here a while ago, why are you just coming?" He asked me, and I fought back the urge to roll my eyes at him.

"You denied me a bath for days. I only made good use of the opportunity when it presented itself." I stated calmly, but I was far from calm, and my raging heartbeat gave me away.

I looked away from him as I decided to focus on my food, but then I didn't feel like eating any longer. The thoughts of all that had happened kept replaying in my mind, and I couldn't find myself wanting to eat. In fact, I had the urge to throw up all that I had eaten.

"Why?" I suddenly asked, but Aaron ignored me. "Why did you do it?" I asked again, and this time he began to tap his index finger on the table, and I wondered what he meant by that. "You killed my father, Aaron."

"I did." He stated, and I looked him in the eyes. I expected to see guilt and regret there as we spoke of my father, but instead I saw nothing. Just an empty gaze staring back at me.

"You killed my father." I repeated, and he nodded.

"I killed your father."

I stood up angrily, banging my fists forcefully on the table, making the plates to roll over and break, and the food was thrown on the floor.

"You bastard, he was your Alpha. He loved you. He fucking loved you and you know it!" I lashed at him, and he stood up.

"Your father loved no one apart from you, princess. He is your father, but you don't know shit about him like I do. You were too sheltered and protected to see anything clearly." He then came to my side and I stood in front of him. "Yes, princess, I killed your father, and given the chance, I will do it again."

I suddenly landed a slap on his face, and he placed his hand there. He then shot me a deathly glare, and I could tell that he was really provoked. "I am the Alpha here, and the next time you will raise your hand to me, I will be sending you to join your father."

I would never had been afraid of a threat from Aaron, but now, I feared everything about him.

"What did he do to you? I want to know." Despite my fear, I mustered up courage to ask him, as I really wanted to know what my father did to him.

"He was a monster, and he deserved what I did to him. Just keep that in mind."

"But..."

"You are his daughter, and you should be walking on eggshells around here. But I will let you live because I know that you know nothing of your father's crimes. I will let you have your room back, and live your life as you see fit, but always remember that the moment you cross me, you will not be having another moment."

He then left me and walked away.

My heart skipped and squeezed so painfully, I couldn't breathe. Tears formed at the corners of my eyes, and I used my hand to wipe it off, but they kept forming. I didn't know what to do. I was helpless.

I was seventeen, and I was waiting for my eighteenth birthday to come, so I would turn for the first time. Then I would go rogue and leave this pack.
