The omega and her triplet mates (the kids!)

Chapter 4: T.orture time?

Elena

I was so angry, I flopped on my bed and glared at my reflection in the mirror on my wardrobe. Was I really that bad? I don’t think I was. I shouldn’t have to hang out with Anita if I didn’t want to. It wasn’t just Anita, I didn’t want to hang out with any of my stupid siblings.

Lucas was a moody, boring d.ick, Luna was too young and annoying, and so was Rosie, and Jasper and Joshua were so young they were just boring.

Dad was such a hypocrite judging me. He used to be a ladies man, a player who would sleep around with any woman he wanted, even if he already had a girlfriend. He would cheat on his girlfriends all the time, wouldn’t surprise me if he even slept with other men’s women. I’d heard other pack members talk about it, so who was he to judge?

I never used to care what others thought about Anita, but now that I was older, I noticed people’s reactions more. They would give her dirty or funny looks when they saw her flapping her hands. Now I had my own group of friends, and they were the more popular group. If I wanted to stay friends with them, then I couldn’t be seen with my sister.

When my other dad, Jax, came into my room, my heart stopped beating for a moment. Did he know? Would he punish me? I know he killed people or hurt them badly, only pack members who did something bad, and he only killed evil people, but maybe I would be the exception because he was crazy protective over Anita.

“You coming down for dinner?” He asked.

My heart started beating normally again, and I relaxed. Dad must not have told him.

I got up and went downstairs with him and quietly slunk into my chair next to Mum. “What’s up with you?” She asked.

“Nothing,” I mumbled.

“Elena?” She warned.

“Ask Dad,” I grumbled.

“Ask Dad what?” Jax asked, my heart skipped a beat, and I quickly said, “nothing!” Big mistake, (they were all just Dad to me, so to be less confusing, I’ll use their names except for my biological father, Romulus).

Jax was scary good at reading people, and he always knew if you were lying. I had just made myself the most interesting thing in the room to him now.

“It’s something. What is it? Spit it out.”

“No, I already spoke with Dad about it, I don’t need to tell you too, it’s private.”

“You don’t trust me then?” He asked, and I tried not to feel guilty. I know Jax had gone through something terrible as a child, he’d been kidnapped by some gross pervert man. I didn’t know the details, just that he had tried to save a little girl with him but couldn’t, she had died, and it messed him up.

He killed the man who did it, and I think that’s how he first became a killer. Family was important to him, really important, and so was trust. If he thought I didn’t trust him, I knew that would really hurt his feelings.

I think sometimes he felt like an outsider because of what he was. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn’t help it, he couldn’t stop himself. Jax, the man who had raised me as a father, was a serial killer and a psychopath. I wasn’t just saying that, I’d seen the files from his stay in a mental asylum. He was clinically diagnosed as a psychopath.

Jax wasn’t evil though, and he could love. I knew that because he loved us kids and he loved his brothers and his mates’. He didn’t hurt innocent people either, didn’t even want to. If he felt like an innocent was being abused or he found out someone hurt one, he would go nuts.

He only killed other killers, r.apists, those kinds of people. He protected the innocent, but right now, I was scared if I’d even be in the category of innocent if he found out about what happened today with Anita.

“I don’t want you to hate me,” I whispered.

“Hate you? I could never hate you, darling.” He came round to me and sat down on the chair next to me.

“What happened?” He asked.

Lucas walked in and said, “Elena’s being a b.itch to Anita.”

“Lucas! Language,” Mum warned him.

“A b.itch how?” Jax asked.

Shrugging, Lucas sat down opposite us and said, “she won’t let Anita hang out with her even though Anita doesn’t have any friends. She tried asking Elena today, and she told her to go away and leave her alone. Then she let her loser boyfriend push Anita, and she fell to the floor.”

I glared at Lucas, and he stared coldly back at me.

“That true?” Jax asked me, losing his friendly tone.

“I just wanted to be with my friends,” I said quietly.

“And your sister couldn’t just stand with you at the very least?”

“She flaps her hands,” I mumbled.

“What was that?” He asked coldly.

Folding my arms, I said more clearly, “she flaps her hands, and it’s embarrassing, and she still talks weird.”

“Are you f.ucking serious?” He asked, sounding colder than I’d ever heard him.

I didn’t look at him, and he snarled, “what the f***k happened to you? I remember when you used to have the biggest f.ucking heart, now you’re an evil, selfish b.itch!”

“Jax, calm down,” Mum warned him.

I looked up at him and saw his eyes turn gold. “Your sister can’t help the way she is, but she is still your sister, she still has feelings, and she looks up to you, all she wants is to be like you, she f.ucking adores you. I can’t imagine how much it must f.ucking hurt her to have you reject her at every turn because she has a disability, and it f.ucking what? Embarrasses you!” He yelled.

I hadn’t known Anita thought of me like that, I hadn’t known she looked up to me. That made me feel bad, but right now I was more scared than anything. I looked at Jax and couldn’t stop my voice from sounding wobbly with unshed tears when I asked, “are you going to t.orture me now?”

He frowned at me and then looked at me with disbelief on his face. “What? T.orture you? Why the f***k would you think I would do that?”

“Because you hurt bad and evil people, and I’m one of them, you love Anita so much, she’s more important to you than me.” The tears fell down my cheeks, and I tried to wipe them away, but more came.

He lost the anger, and his eyes went back to normal, or at least normal for him, because he had one piercing blue eye and one piercing green, they had flecks of gold running through them with a golden rim.

I didn’t expect it when he pulled me into his arms and held me. “I would never ever hurt you, Elena, not ever, not for any reason, and you are not evil or bad, do you understand me?” He asked, pulling back to look into my eyes.

I shrugged, and he said, “I mean it, I would never hurt you, baby. Don’t you ever be afraid of me.” He hugged me again and then said, “Anita is not more important to me, and I don’t love her more, I love you all the same. You’re all my kids, and I’d f.ucking die for you, you’re everything to me.” Pulling back to look at me again, he said, “but that doesn’t mean you get to treat your sister like s.hit, if your friends are making you feel you have to, then they’re not friends, and you need to get some new ones.”

I nodded and expected more, but that was it, he left me alone after that, and everyone ate dinner.
