"I don't wanna go home. Please, Dad!" I cried out in pain. "Shut the fuck up, Helena, so you don't get hit again." My father said angrily in my face. "What did I ever do to you?" "You did everything. From the day you were born, I disliked you." He spat in my face. I took my sleeve and wiped away the spit. My legs were shackled in chains made of silver. Every time I moved them, they would burn and hurt. "Aaron will come for me." I whispered, full of hope. "Stop this craziness of yours, Helena! You will marry Imer, and that is my final decision." "Alpha, someone needs your assistance upstairs." Imer called out. He came down the steps and looked at me. "If Helana bothers you, just hit her," Dad replied. He sneered at me and walked up the steps. Once I heard the door slam close, Imer came to my side. My mouth fell opened when he unlocked the silver chains from my legs and helped me up. "W-What are you doing?" I asked astonished. "Imer. . . What are you doing?" "Helping you out. D
My heart pounded when the words left Imer's mouth. "Nothing will happen, baby." Aaron tried to soothe me, but it wasn't working. When Imer said my father was in a foul mood, that meant he would destroy everyone and everything that was in his way. "Helena!" A voice boomed. A voice I didn't want to hear. . . "Stay behind." Aaron growled. He quickly turned into his black wolf. My brother Felix, turned into his wolf and leaped forward. He snapped his teeth at Imer, and slowly walked over to the door. Felix ferociously snapped his teeth and soon my fathers' bloody body came into view. "Stay away," Don warned, but my father just chuckled. Aaron's wolf was huffing and his teeth continued to snap. I sidestepped away from them but Aaron was watching, and he pushed me behind him. He snapped his teeth at me, and Christian held me in place. I pushed his hands away and quickly got out of the way. "D-Dad, if it's me you want to talk to then here I am," I announced calmly. But inside, I was
AARON "Mother, what a surprise!" I plastered a fake smile, and so did she. "Likewise, honey. May I talk to you?" She looked at Helena, and back at me. "In private." I looked to Helena, and she got out of my arms and made her way back upstairs. I looked back at my mother and saw her eyeing me. "Why didn't you tell me you had found your mate? I was told through another pack member. Am I not your mother anymore?" She rambled. I rolled my eyes at her. "You would've stayed my mom even if I didn't tell you." I chuckled. She huffed and folded her arms. "I've just been kind of busy with all of the situations going on." I mumbled. "It looks like your mate has caused quite a scene already," she replied. My eyes snapped at her and I balled my fist. "She's my mate. I don't care what she does. I'll love her no matter what, Mom." I growled at her. I didn't want to show disrespect in front of my own mother, but my wolf didn't enjoy the fact that she was accusing our mate. "I never question
Aaron's face turned a bright shade of red, and he glared at me. "Where did you here that nonsense?" He growled. He grabbed onto my waist and lightly pushed his fingers in. "A little birdie told me." I smirked in response. He growled out loud and his eyes grew wider and got darker. Even though he was growling and annoyed, a light blush crawled his cheeks. "Where did you here that, Helena?" He growled yet again. I continued to smirk. He lightly pushed me down and got on top of me. "I never kissed walls and teddy bears." He snapped. "That's not what the little birdie told me." His claws dug into my skin, and I winced in pain. "I'm sorry." He quickly got off me and was about to walk away. I grabbed onto his arm, pulling him back. "Are you really mad?" I pouted. He huffed in annoyance and removed my hand from his. "I don't know! Go ask that little birdie of yours." He huffed and walked away. My jaw dropped open, and I just looked at his retreating back. "Are you serious?" I mum
My eyes turned into wide saucers and I looked helplessly between Felix and the ground. "Mr.Shaw, we were ju—" "What's all this commotion?" The little food I had eaten was making a reappearance. "Nothing, son," Aaron's father said, eyeing me. "Helena, is that you?" Aaron squinted in the dark. Felix placed a hand on my shoulder, and tried to keep me calm. "What are you doing out here so late?" He reached us in a few strides and pulled me to my brother. Aaron snuggled his nose in my hair, inhaling and exhaling. His warm breath burned my skin even more and I fidgeted around. "Aren't you supposed to be mad at me?" I blurted out. I mentally face palmed myself. That's exactly what I should have not said to him. Aaron pulled back, and glared at me. I shrunk back and looked at the ground. "Felix, why don't you go head off to bed?" I heard Zain, Aaron's father tell Felix sternly. I knew Felix wanted to disagree but I glanced at him and gave him a pleading look. Felix sighed and ruf
AARON "Zain, leave the poor girl alone!" My mother snapped to my father. "I'm just saying that this boy will ruin his future with her, Katherine." Dad sneered. "She's not good for him." I was seething. "You know what, Dad? Have you ever thought what was best for me? What was best for my future? No. Then back the hell up. Helena is my mate and I will not take anymore of your nonsense. If you have a problem then deal with it. But stop, and I mean stop, talking to my mate like she's a horrible person. Because clearly, she's the most amazing person I've ever met." I had enough of all the shit he was saying. Dad looked at me with wide eyes, surprised that I would talk to him like that. My mother, on the other hand, was looking at me with proud eyes because I finally stood up for something in my life. "Because when she fucks up your life, then I will be the first to say, I told you so!" Dad shouted and stalked off. Helena looked out of place and she was close to tears. "Sweetheart,
AARON "You people disgust me," Felix gritted his teeth. Helena's eyes widened, and I let out a furious growl. "What's your problem?" I advanced him but Helena grabbed onto my arm. She looked at me with pleading eyes, and shook her head. "I'm telling you, Helena. Your mate is a killer. You need to stay away from him!" Felix stressed. My eyebrows knitted in confusion, and Helena growled. "Don't accuse my mate of anything, Felix. What the hell is wrong with you?" She looked deadly. "You're asking me what the hell is wrong?" Felix laughed with no humor. Helena continued to glare at him and nodded her head. "What's wrong is how you still roam around with a killer!" I had stayed quiet but not anymore. "What the hell did I do that you're accusing me of being a killer?" I shot back, my teeth bared out. "Stop trying to act fucking innocent!" Felix yelled. Helena pulled me away and stepped in front. "He's not acting innocent, Felix! We're both genuinely confused." She looked at him
AARON Her puzzled face made me stop immediately. I looked away from her face and ripped the grass from the ground. What type of mate would I be if I told my little wolf what the real reason was? "Continue, Aaron. . ." She urged. I looked over at her and she gave me an encouraging smile. I shook my head. I didn't want to continue. I couldn't continue. I couldn't hurt her. "Love bug, I want you to be able to trust me. The only way I'll know is if you tell me." I cracked a smile at what she called me but my heart squeezed. "I'm going to hate myself for causing you pain." I looked at her directly, and she looked concerned. "What pain?" She asked innocently. "I had given you so much pain. Whatever you have to say cant cause me as much pain as I have caused you." I growled out and placed my hand on her cheek. "You haven't caused me any pain, baby. Do you understand that?" My eyes bore into hers and she gulped. "Fine. Then you can tell me what's going on." She continued to urge. My
