Chasing Back My Lycan Queen

Chapter 3: Banish From My Pack

Willow’s Point of View

Fainting became a hobby for me. I became unconscious three times this whole damn week, not to mention the headache and the mood swings I have nearly encountered for several days now. The first time I fainted was when I was running in the woods, maybe because of the exhaustion I felt, and I woke up in my bedroom. The second time was when someone accidentally threw a ball straight at my head, and I woke up in an unknown house, but I soon knew they were our people. The third time was when I fainted in the dining hall before my whole family!

Waking up in the infirmary made me shake my head. I think it's because of my health… but now, I am eating a lot these days. I don't know why, but I gained a slight weight.

"How do you feel?" My older brother Giuseppe was standing beside the bed.

I sighed. "I feel horrible but excellent now. How long have I been sleeping?"

"Thirty minutes? Forty-five? I don't know," the tone of his voice abruptly changed into a more stoic one. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"What didn't I tell?" I asserted.

Upon hearing my father's angry voice, Giuseppe and I narrowed our eyes to the door. He was outside, it seemed like my brother Giovanni and my mother were making him calm down until the door creaked, and their appearance showed right in front of me.

My father was angry. He was in a fury, and his glares nearly cut my throat due to its sharpness. Father took his hands off Mother's gentle caress until my heart began pounding, clueless about what I do to provoke him like that.

"Look at me, sweetheart," Giuseppe had gotten my attention. "You know I love you, right?" he muttered solemnly with anger in his eyes. I nodded my head gently in my response.

Mother locked the infirmary, ensuring no one would hear our conversation.

"Who did it?" he ballistically articulates.

My clueless self glanced at my parents and then narrowed back my stares at Giuseppe. "D-Did what?" I merely whisper.

Instead of Giuseppe answering, Giovanni did. "The bastard who made you pregnant."

Countless knives penetrated my heart, and a truck of cold water seemed thrown at me feeling the tremendous rigidness of my fingers. Did I just hear them right?

My heart continuously pounded as I stood up, trying to explain and defend myself when a loud slap landed on my face. My father's hand indeed left a huge red mark on my cheeks due to its strength and force.

"You imbecile child!" my father thundered in such a fury, pointing his fingers at me. "All you did was bring us nothing but disgrace!"

Tears rolled down my cheeks as the sharp words of my father almost killed me.

"You're scaring her, father!" Giovanni said, making the veins in his neck protrude as well as his hands whilst clenching on it.

Mother hushed our father. Giuseppe cupped my face; I held onto his shirt like a crybaby when he held my hand gently, making me feel safe and shushing me to the point that he could have fought my father right now due to the words coming from his lips.

"Tell me, who the bastard knocked you off and got you pregnant, huh? Answer me before I lose my s**t, Willow!"

Knowing my brothers, they wouldn't mind getting their hands dirty knowing someone laid a finger on me. I might be unlucky to have a tough father, but I am fortunate to have two brothers who will do everything to protect me.

Reckoning my thoughts weeks ago, I could barely remember what happened to me the night I was mercilessly f****d by some i***t man. I could scarcely remember a piece of it, and God knows how much I want to delete it from my memory!

"Willow," Giovanni warned, urging me to speak or else.

"I… I was drunk. I didn't know," I whined in fear.

Father's agitating voice echoed. "Did you hear that right, Marbette? She was busy drinking, flirting with many fellas that she didn't know who got her pregnant! Is this the type of person you wanted me to keep in our family? She's just a human and a good-for-nothing!"

Being slut shamed by your father is the worst thing I've heard. I was hurt by how badly he treated me; Conrad's rejection and the thought of having no wolf led me to the worst heartbreak. Drinking until I fell asleep was the only thing I had in my mind to ease the pain, but I never thought someone would kidnap me and take advantage of my drunk self!

"F-Father, I'm sorry. I was drunk, and some took advantage of-"

"What did I expect from a useless girl? I should have listened to my Beta to kill you the moment you were born useless!"

My mother couldn't stand my father's words, so she interrupted. "Watch your mouth Garret!" she warned him with her pissed voice.

Father gently closed his eyes, clenching his jaw as his silver eyes narrowed down at me. "Do you really think someone would come to my territory, bold enough to assault and harass my daughter, knowing who I am? If such a thing happened, then she must have given him consent! Otherwise, the guards scattered around the area would hear her scream! You are in charge of that night, Giovanni. Did you get any report of the same case as her?" he muttered ballistically.

Everyone was silent.

"I am not Garret Lockhart for nothing!"

Mother groaned. "Garret! What if your daughter-"

"Piss off, Marbette. I don't want to raise my voice again at you, so you better stop." Father warned my mother.

My brother was relentlessly defending me along with my mother, but unfortunately, they couldn't fathom my father's anger. No matter what my mother does, she can't do anything that could make him calm. The scariest part of my life has begun. I was trembling in fear, ready to catch another slap from him when I didn't get any aside from his calm yet dominating voice.

"I can't stay calm and happy as long as I live under one roof with that useless child!"

Everyone squinched. Even Giuseppe, beside me, stood up just to get near him.

"Father, please…" he pleaded.

"Subsequently, I will no longer have a daughter and stand straight on the ground with my two sons! I hereby declare you, Willow Lockhart, to banish from my pack!"

It seemed like I wasn't really his daughter. He has hated me from the day I was born, and he is now determined to banish me from his pack, the home where I grew up and met a lot of people. I was staring at my father's eyes whilst my mother and brothers were pleading for me. I was hurt knowing they were doing it instead of me; seeing my mother, who nearly kneeled before him, hurt me so much.

"You cannot disown Willow just because she made a mistake, Garret!" Mother relinquished.

He scoffed. "It's not the first mistake that your insolent daughter has made, and I can do more than disown her, Marbette! You know that."

Giuseppe's hands turned into a fist. "You are being unfair to your own blood, father! How come Willow's the one who's getting punished while the person who did it to her roams free?" he then gritted his teeth.

I stood up from the bed. I stared into his eyes, looking for his eagerness to banish me, just like he had just stated. Maybe father's right, huh? Our family has gained a lot of respect, they all bow ahead of us, and all I can do is taint it. To become disgraceful as his daughter… and thinking that maybe he's right, I think it is time for me to leave no matter how much it will hurt me big time.

"If you do really mean what you said, and are determined to disown and banish me as your daughter, then repeating it straight in front of my face wouldn't be so hard for you, right?" my voice nearly broke as per the last words I released.

A low scowl escaped from his lips. "You know I hate repeating myself, right? You have two ears, Willow. And I bet you're not stupid not to comprehend my decision. That is my final decision, and no one could change my mind!"
