Deceiving

Chapter 2

Keiran was the one to push me off, his aura was engulfing me, he made me fall on my knees, the alpha being in charge of me, I didn't want to fall, I wanted to fight my brother, but him being the adult wolf, and me being the irritated teenager didn't work well for me. I'm almost an adult, but there was no mate for me in sight, I was feeling irritated, angry, and in need of a fight. Keiran didn't take my challenge well, he was ready to fight me back, I went for his neck, but he went to mine too, my brother didn't try to kill me, instead, the big black wolf, bites down on my neck forcing me to submit to him to show my neck, to stop the fight, although I didn't want to stop.

In the end my brother had won, he had me pinned down while I still fought him, if any other wolf did this, if they tried to go to their alpha's neck, challenging his power, Keiran would have killed them, he would no doubt have had them dead. But since we are brothers, he didn't do it, instead, he kept me pinned down until mom got here, why did he have to call mom, he had to call our alpha, the one in charge of us, of everyone.

"Keiran, Jordan, why are you two fighting?" mom asks in her firm alpha voice, everyone was now looking at us, they were waiting for the alpha to scold us.

"Kieran, let your brother go, Jordan, don't you dare snap again," mom scold the two of us, we weren't puppies anymore, she can't just order us around, except that she is our alpha and got every right to scold everyone around the pack, including us.

"Everyone else, get back to work," mom orders, at least we don't have an audience anymore, it's just us now, Keiran finally allowed me to get up, he shifted first, looking at me with anger, I shifted to feeling pissed at my brother.

"Why did you attack me?" Keiran asks, I growled at him, my wolf was still near the surface, I can't hold him back, I'm still angry, and Keiran treating me like that was hurting me.

"Jordan, why are you doing this," Mom says in a cold voice, pulling Keiran back, taking a step in front of me, I could challenge my brother, we are siblings we were raised together, he's not the official alpha yet, challenging him could pass.

But challenging mom, she'll never let it pass, my wolf wanted to fight, but I scolded him, we are puppies anymore, I can't do things and expect mommy to forgive me, she won't simply scold me or pin me down as Keiran did, she'd either kill me or kick me out of her pack, she got every right to do so, I decided to pull down, I looked down to the ground, showing submission, although it hurt to show submission, she's our mother, not our blood mother, but mine, I'll always bow down to her, out of respect.

"Mom," I say my voice breaking, although I had no idea what was wrong with me, why I'm so pissed, but toward my mother, I couldn't show any of that, toward my mother, I was a well-behaved son.

"What's wrong Jordy? Something happened?" she asks me her hand going toward my face, my eyes closed allowing my mother's aura to calm me down, my alpha's aura is helping me feel better now.

"I don't know, I'm just...just..." I say not knowing how to finish that sentence, I'm just feeling like this.

"Let's go home, we'll talk there," she says holding my hand starting the walk back home, I had my car still in town, but the walk would me right now, I also had to go back and pick the girls.

"Mom, the girls, my car?" I ask her, I had things to do.

"Keiran would pick your sisters, come on," she says still walking, we decided to walk the whole way home, well mom decided to make us walk it, a twenty-minute walk, enough to make me calm down, enough to get to me let out a breath of anger.

We made it back home, mom finally let go of my hand, she walked in first, while I dragged myself behind her, knowing she won't be that happy with me, the talk we were about to have isn't a nice one. I saw Jacob in the living room, he looked at me with anger, the look didn't go well with me, not with how angry my wolf is, I growled back at him.

"What's your deal?" I ask him, angry at him.

"You make Kiara cry! If you're pissed don't take it off on my little," he says with an angry growl, but I growled back, we were now standing nose to nose.

"I didn't make your brat cry," I inform him, I didn't make Kiara cry, maybe I was a bit too mean to Ashlynn, but not his brat.

"Don't call her brat," he says pushing me, I took a step back due to the push, I pushed him too, the fight was starting that way, just pushing each other, but mom was back, pulling us away.

"Stop, enough, go take a walk with Kiara," mom ordered my brother, but she didn't tell me to take a walk, instead she dragged me upstairs to her office, now both I and my wolf feel like puppies about to get scolded by our mother for fighting, this brings so many memories from when I was a real child.

"Mom..." I say, but she holds her hand up, stopping me from talking, I looked at her with a big pout, feeling like a brat.

"This is the second time you start a fight with your siblings, is there a reason? Something I should know?" she asks me, there wasn't any reason to why I'm angry at my siblings, they didn't do anything to me.

"No mother," I answer her looking down to the ground, I felt guilty.

"Then, please do explain, what's going on with your two today?" she asks me, she wasn't angry, she wasn't using her alpha voice, just her mom's voice, the one that's much scarier.

"I...I don't...know..." I say, it's the truth, I don't know, I just am, she looked at me with a disappointed look.

"Jordan, I believe it's time for you to do some training with some other pack," mom says, I look at her with wide eyes, she's kicking me out.

"Mom..." I say.

"After your brother's birthday you'll be going to the black-thorn pack," mom says, I felt like a puppy getting punished now, and that I am.

Chapter 4

-Birthday.

Jordan POV.

The only good thing about waiting for my brother's birthday, is mine comes first, I'll be twenty-one today, while Jacob's birthday isn't for another four days, I got five days before I get kicked out of my pack, out of the only life that I know. I know we all get sent to other packs to train, Jacob has been to three packs before Kiara, and one after she joined our pack, but for me, I only got sent once, and I was in the pack close to home, I didn't even sleep there, I always got the chance to come back to mine and Ashlynn's room, but not this time.

"Hey, you okay?" Keiran asks, sitting next to me, I was sitting in the kitchen, simply looking out of the window, watching the snowfall.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I lie, I wasn't fine, I was the opposite, I'm still pissed, I was afraid, tired and feeling left out.

"I heard what mom said, training outside the pack is fine, I'm sure you'll enjoy it," Kei says, of course, he knows about me being kicked out, for training, exclamation mark.

"Yeah, sure," I lie, going back to looking out of the window.

"Hey, smile, it's your birthday today!" he says trying to make me smile, but I didn't mind my birthday, the day when I could find my mate, the one that I have no idea where on earth they are.

"Does Ash know?" I ask, Ashlynn won't be happy about me leaving, the reason I haven't gone on training to many other packs is Ashlynn, mom didn't want to pull us apart, I couldn't leave her back, but now I'm forced to go away.

"No, you know how she'd be, better to tell her later," Keiran says, I don't agree with him, telling her later would only make her angrier, she won't be able to annoy mother into not sending me there, but right now, I have another plan, maybe going to another pack would help my bad temper, maybe that's what I need.

"Good, don't tell her," I inform Keiran, she's mad at me, but she can't stay mad, tonight she'll be okay with me, she'll forgive me since it's my birthday.

"Jordan," Keiran says with a raised brow, I never hide things from her.

"She'll be pissed, let her be, moving to another pack would help me," I say, training means I'll get a chance to beat some people up, I can fight and never be called off.

"Jordan, you'll be sent as an adult, the alpha won't like you killing any of his wolves, or hurting any, he got my word on you behaving," Keiran says making my eyes roll, sure, sure, I'd do that whatever he asks.

"Sureeeeeee..." I promise, crossing my fingers behind my back.

"Jordan..." Keiran start but was stopped by a little thing running and jumping on his back.

"Kei!" Kiara says hugging him tight from behind.

"Yes, Kiara? What's wrong?" he asks her, she learned she can snitch on Jacob to our alpha, most days, she's the one who's on the wrong, but Keiran still play along with her.

"Jacob says me can't have any more chocolate," she says with a big pout, she's a chocolate addict.

"How many did you have today?" Keiran asks her, I smiled looking at them, I want this, I want to have a mate who'd be just like her, a little thing.

"Not many," she says holding one finger up, but I knew she had more.

"Really Kiki?" I ask her, knowing she didn't just have one.

"Maybe this much," this time she holds three fingers, now that's more like it.

"That's enough candy for today," Keiran says not falling for her games, knowing she'd keep begging until she gets more.

"But but...keiran...kierann..." she whines on the verge of fake tears.

"You know Kiki, today is my birthday, we can have chocolate cake after dinner," I say, I didn't want to make a big fuss about my birthday, especially my twenty-first one, I asked mom and Keiran not to do anything.

"Your birthday?" she asks me with wide eyes.

"Yes, my birthday," I say, it's not such a foreign concept, we all get our birthdays every year.

"But me didn't get you a gift," she says on the verge of tears again, this time her tears were going down her face.

"Should I call Jacob?" I ask Keiran, she's going to start crying and there's no one to stop her but Jacob.

"Get him just in case," Keiran answers me, I went toward his room, going to call him, I was still mad at Jacob, we aren't on a talking basis.

"Jacob," I say going inside his room, I didn't bother to knock, he looked up at me, his face buried in some book, he was reading more about claiming his mate and about how a mated couple works together. I don't blame him, I've spent the whole last year reading those books, I knew more about mated couples than my mated brother did, I'm studying just in case in the future I found my mate.
