Rose POV:-
The omega had been in their pack house for two days now and his scent was slowing morphing back to normal. At first, it was muddled with so much fear and anxiety that she couldn’t get a good read on it.
The more the wolf healed, the more familiar the scent was becoming. It was a scent that made her stomach drop, she used to know it so well and was heartbroken when she learned she would never smell it again.
“Rose… are you okay?” Sebestian asked with a deep frown. She knew she’d been more quiet than usual the past few days, but she was not ready to reveal her suspicions to anyone just yet.
In one way, keeping the secret was like self-preservation. Bring up old memories would be painful and if she was wrong, it would be even more painful that she ever had hope that someone she thought was forever lost was suddenly back in her life.
“I…um… I want to explain to you why I’ve been so preoccupied, but there is one more thing I need to see about before I can be sure,” she explained cryptically.
Rose walked up the stairs and down the hall to her brother’s room, “Jace? Jace? Can you come out here please, I need to show you something.”
The group had decided to keep Jace away from the living room while the omega was healing. It was not a pretty site and Rose had discussed it with Sebestian and decided that he didn’t need to be exposed to something like that.
But she knew that the circumstances were now changed, Rose needed to see if she was right, she had to know.
Jace came out curiously, “Am I finally going to get to see what you guys are all keeping secret from me. I’m not a little kid anymore you know.”
“Don’t try and grow up to quickly Jace, you’ll regret it in the end. Now come downstairs, your sister apparently needs you for something important,” Sebestian asked.
Rose could barely breath when they got to the end of the stairs. The second Jace eyes spotted the wolf in the corner, she knew it was true.
Jace lurched forward and onto his knees in front of the wolf. “It’s Allen! Rose, look its Allen!” He shouted.
Rose instantly lost her footing and ended up landing on the bottom step trying her best to stop herself from hyperventilating.
And at the same time, Jace had finally realised the state that his older brother was in. “Wait…wait… what happened to him? Did this happen to him during the fight? Did we do this?” he asked softly reaching out to touch his brother’s paw.
Rose looked up to see Sebestian crouched in front of her, “Rose, who is he?” is all he could muster to ask.
“He’s…he’s our brother. Our parents told us he died, they said he was attacked by a rogue wolf during a pack dispute.”
Sam stepped forward out of the kitchen after hearing the commotion, “Wait a minute, your brother who died before your family adopted me?” he asked.
Rose hadn’t meant for Sam to find out this way. When her parents adopted Sam, they had told Rose and Jace it was to honor their brother’s life. They said it would help to fill the void from Allen passing, but now she didn’t know what to believe.
“I think I’m going to be sick,” Sam exclaimed as he stumbled over to the couch to sit down.
“You know what this means right… Jia and Jones probably abandoned him when he presented as an omega and replaced him with me. It’s all been a lie… I feel like…like I stole his life, I was all too happy to take on the role of big brother.”
Rose knew it wasn’t fair for either of them, it wasn’t fair for Sam to have to feel guilty about something he didn’t even realise he was a part of.
“Sam, you are family to us all. We don’t know what happened yet so we shouldn’t jump to conclusions,” Seth tried to reason with him.
Rose felt lost, she didn’t know what to feel. On one hand, she was overjoyed to be reunited with a brother and on the other, she was wrought with anger over the treatment of him and the circumstances of why he was with the feral pack in the first place.
Sebestian eyes changed to their dark-alpha red without him probably even knowing it. Rose watched as he began to pace back and forth in the living as to alleviate some of his anger.
“Well, we’re damn well going to find out the truth. Rose, I want your father and mother here by the end of the week, if they disagree then I will go to them… If those bastards actually abandoned their son…I’m going to fucking…” Sebestian was now shouting.
“Quiet!” Kelly interrupted suddenly. “He is waking up.”
~~~~~~~Back to Sebestian POVEveryone in the room stilled as the omega began to stir. Sebestian tried his best to calm himself after he realised he was allowing his anger to get the best of him.The beautiful eyes of an omega was the first thing Sebestian noticed. Although he unfortunately, had only a second to appreciate them before all hell broke loose.The wolf jolted up and pushed himself against the back of the cage as he barred his teeth and growled at the room full of wolves. He was clearly terrified at his new surrounds as fear radiated strongly from him.He attempted to sprint from the cage, but was deterred from Kelly quick reflexes as she slams it shut. "I am so sorry...it's just...it's just that you are going to hurt yourself more if you keep fighting. Please try and calm down, your stitches are going to come undone," she
Allen POV:-Allen wasn't sure where they were going, but he moved as quickly as he could up the stairs as the alpha had instructed.He still wasn't sure how things would be for him in this new pack, but he couldn't help but feel like the new alpha had freed him.Allen knew he was close to death when he was back at the feral camp, the longer he was kept without food the harder it was for him to keep his eyes open.He knew his current situation had to be at least a little better than the constant pain and torture he suffered under his old alpha and he was going to do his best to be a good and obedient pack mate.In the feral pack, he was always known to be the problem child, he had fought so hard in the beginning to keep his identity that the feral alpha never trusted him.It had taken months for Allen to finally flip the switch inside of him that led him to be
Sebestian had been tossing and turning in bed for what seemed like hours, it had been quite the week for him and his pack. He tried his best to clear his mind but he simply couldn't stop thinking about Allen.He knew the omega was lost in his own mind. The boy had no doubt made a cage of his own around his feelings and memories as a tool for survival. Sebestian knew he wanted to be a part of bringing those parts of Allen back to the surface.He slid out of bed groaning and headed towards the bathroom to relieve himself, as soon as he was standing, he recognized a familiar smell filling up his nostrils. It was the smell of blood.His body temperature began to rise within the second, his eyes changed over to that familiar red that made all of his senses go into overload. The smell was coming from inside the house.He ran out into the hall to investigate the scent. His worry grew when he realized it was
Rose blood was boiling in anger, it took all of her strength to control herself so that she could be there for her brother. All she could think about was tearing into that beta's flesh with everything she had.Ray and Sam had taken Rufus outside, he was still being restrained by the two of them as he knelt in the center of the patio.She raced forward and swept her claws across his face as hard as she could. "How dare you! You manipulated your way into our house and then attack your own pack members."Blood ran from the beta's mouth, "He's nothing but an omega. What does it matter to you how he is treated," he growled back at her.Rose could never understand his way of thinking. She knew it was likely all he knew, but it was hard to have sympathy for someone who was so dangerous towards others.Sebestian moved forward half-transformed, his eyes were glowing red, his fangs were sh
Sebestian sat in the large chair in the corner of the living room silently awaiting the arrival of Jia and Jones James. He hadn't slept much the night before as he contemplated the best way of going about this meeting.He knew he needed to keep his emotions in check, it wouldn't be good for anyone to have two alphas brawling throughout the house. He had also come to the conclusion that it was best to keep Allen away from it all. The boy had been making some progress in the last few days and Sebestian didn't want anything screwing that up.The pack had spent the whole day together yesterday just lounging around the house. Sebestian smiled when he thought back to the omega sitting wearily on the couch next to May as they watched movies.He would lean over and speak to her at his leisure, it was often in a whisper but Sebestian hearing would always grant him the ability to know the content of the
Flashback:The heat of the sun was beating on Allen face as he sat on the porch. He was eagerly awaiting the return of his siblings to come home from visiting their cousin's for the last week. The three of them had never been separated before, and he didn't think it'd be this hard without them."Sweetheart," Jia called with a chuckle. "They won't be here for another two days.""I know... I just... I thought that maybe they'd come back early," he mumbled.Jia kneeled down beside him, "Hey... why don't you come inside and help me with dinner? Maybe we can make something special for dessert."He looked up at his mother and smiled as he stood to follow her inside.Allen missed his siblings so much. Things felt different now, the need to be with his whole family was stronger than it ever was. All he wanted to do was keep them safe and f
The evening after Jones and Jia left was emotionally draining for everyone. There were many tears and Sebestian was almost sure that Rose and Jace hadn't left Allen side at all, as if they were scared he was going to vanish from existence.Allen demeanor had changed significantly, he still didn't look completely healed, but it was a vast improvement from the trembling omega he had been.He no longer looked as if he was frightened of his own shadowed. He sat on the couch with his siblings on either side of him rubbing small circles in either of their hands.Sebestian really didn't want to break up the moment, but he also needed answers to some things that he never got the chance to ask Allen in the fragile state he had been in. In fact, Sebestian was still nervous to bring up old memories but he knew he needed too for the safety of his pack.He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention, "I'm sorr
Sebestian had been pleased with how the week was going. Allen seemed to be doing well, he had made breakfast today for the pack and seemed to really be enjoying the moments when they were all together.And Rose, Ray, and Sam were all happy to be seeing their human partners today. Sebestian knew that in many packs, relationships with humans were frowned upon but he just simply didn't see the problem with it. As long as his pack members were happy that is all that matters to him.Sebestian was outside at the back of their property, doing his best to finish breaking down a tree trunk that had fallen in a storm so they would have more firewood before Monika and Damon got here.But before he was done he heard the doorbell ring and the smell of humans in the breeze. He only had a few more cuts to go so he decided to finish before heading in to greet them."Allen? Can you come downstairs?" Ros
