I was never human

It's a lie

After Ava and I went back to the packhouse with the two dead bodies, we, of course, had to deal with his insufferable mother. Thankfully, Brandon knows Ava as this helpful person. Otherwise, he might've been more skeptical of her. I planned on using the vial Ava gave me when we were in the woods. It's nothing harmful. It just makes him succumb to my every want. When he fights against the brainwashing, it causes headaches. The more he fights, the worse they get. It usually isn't a problem, but since that treacherous woman's daughter came to live with us, it's like he's been having constant battles, fighting against my influence. I needed Ava here so that I could reup on the dose and maybe make it stronger. That night, I wanted to give him more, but he stayed with that eye sore the whole night. Honestly, she should just die. The Moon Goddess had to have made a mistake in making her at Chosen, if that's actually what she is. Everyone else seems certain. Maybe if she did die, my Sierra would inherit the gifts. I waited days on days to get Brandon alone. He was either held up in the medical center or having to go to meetings. His f*****g "henchmen" were always in the way too. I can't stand his beta, Luke. He's never liked me. Out of Luke, Jake and Bruce, he's the only one of them to have actually met that child's retched mother. He fell in love with her just like Brandon's parents. Since then, no one has been good enough for him. He second guesses me all the time and talks back more than a beta should. Jake is a little more friendly because he and I are connected through our bound, but even then, I can feel he doesn't like me much and only does because of the bound. Bruce is Bruce. He's pretty nonchalant to everyone, though I am wary of him. He's dangerously observant. He'd notice what the others wouldn't. I've tried visiting Brandon when he's with that girl, but one of those bastards or a guard is always standing watch. I can't even command any of them to move because Brandon has given an order that none, but those allowed in by him or Dr. Mason, are to enter the room with her. So I've been waiting, needing to get him alone.

My time finally came.

It's been about 2 weeks since the unfortunate failure to kidnap that kid and I was sitting in our room. I got cleaned up. I put on one of my favorite lingerie pieces, poured two glasses of wine and sat in one of the lounge chairs in our suite. I sipped on my wine. It was a sweet wine, while Brandon enjoyed more of a dry, bitter wine, mostly reds. I poured the vial of clear liquid into it and stirred it around a little. He finally walked into the room, looking exhausted.

"Hey, my love."

He turned my way and gave a small smile.

"Hey, beautiful. What are you still doing up?"

I stood up, showcasing my sexy outfit. It was sheer and a deep red color. My breasts were proped up nicely. My hips swayed as I moved towards him. My long, blonde hair was out, fluffy and messily laid around my shoulders, and gently laid over my face. Brandon stood standing, staring at me. His eyes were hungry, and enjoyed the show I was putting on for him. I walked with our wine glasses in hand, handing him his. He took it.

"I've missed you, baby. With all that's been going on, I've been feeling a little neglected... in more ways than one."

I bat my lashes at him and slowly sipped my wine from my glass. He couldn't keep his eyes off me.

"I'm so sorry, love. Things have been so hectic lately. I didn't mean to make you feel that way. Once things settle and Kwen gets better, things can return to the way they were."

He grabbed me up in his arms, dipping his head low into my neck, taking a deep whiff of me.

"It won't be the same... nothings been the same since she has gotten here."

I felt the sting of tears readying themselves to fall. This wasn't on the agenda for tonight, but I couldn't stop myself from saying it. Brandon pulled back and looked me in the eyes.

"You still don't say her name, Lisa. Come on... I'm trying to be patient here."

I pulled away from him, sitting my glass down on the coffee table. My gaze was heated when I turned back around.

"You're tryna be patient with me? How? Why? Cause I don't want to welcome another woman's child into my family?! She's not one of us! She looks like her mother, not you! Do you know how hard it is for me to get past? She's a damn human. She's weaker than us. She has no wolf, yet you wanna play daddy to it!"

"Watch your mouth!"

Brandon said through gritted teeth. I just realized I said too much and called her an "it" and not a "she."

"You may feel however you wish to, but you will not disrespect Kwen in my presence like that again! She's a child. She never asked for any of this."

I scoffed.

"And you think I did! All I did was find my mate and fell in love with him like I was supposed to. You were the one who thought dating beings less than you was a smart idea. I don't care if you f**k them, but you fell in love with one!"

"And you knew that. I told you the truth, and you continued to want me? Would it have been better if Minnie was a wolf? Would that have made it better for you?!"

"DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT WOMAN'S NAME AGAIN! I'm stuck looking at her spawn everyday... I don't need any reminders of her name. I get a good look at her face with that girl as is."

Brandon's eyes darkened. He sat his wine on the table next to mine and walked up to me. The look in his eyes said he was pissed and was trying to hold Axel back. He stood directly in front of me, staring me down.

"Do . Not. Speak. Of. My. Daughter in that manner again, Lisa. I will not tell you that again. If you're to be angry with anyone, let that be me, but Kwen and her mother are innocent in all of this."

He didn't even realize, but even after all this time, he defended that damn woman. Tears fell down my face. How could I win against a ghost? He still loves her. No matter what I do or say, that will never change. His eyes soften after seeing my emotional distress. He sighed deeply before wiping my tears away.

"I love you, Lisa. But Kwen is my daughter. I would defend her like I would Daniel and Siearra. You're a mother. I thought you'd understand. I'm sorry for not considering much more than I have been, but she's my daughter, and that fact will never change. I need you to be ok with this. You don't have to like it, but you have to be kinder to her."

I couldn't say anything. I just let the tears fall. He gently kissed my lips before pulling away. He was headed to our bedroom to shower.

"Could you at least drink the wine I prepared for you?"

He stopped to pick it up, turned to me, and gave a smirk before chugging the whole thing down. I gave a small smile. He placed the glass down and began his way to our room.

"You love me?"

He looked back with a frown.

"Of course, I love you."

I nodded, and he started the short walk again.

"But are you in love with me?"

His whole body froze. He stopped walking for a split second. He never turned around to face me. He just continued to walk away. My tears dried up, and my sadness was replaced with anger.

What the f**k did a simple human and her half breed have that I didn't?

5 seconds later, he started walking unsteadily. He ended up leaning against the wall. I walked to him and draped his arm over my shoulder, escorting him the rest of the way.

"Wh- wh- what's happening?"

He said in a slurred speech. I said nothing as I helped him into bed. He laid on his back. I took his shoes off then went for his pants and shirt. He seemed so out of it. I took off my lingerie and crawled up the middle of him. His glossy eyes looked down at me. He began to get hard looking at me. I rubbed his hardening d**k through his boxers. He began to moan.

"Mmmm... Minnie."

I stopped. Even in this moment, after 12 years, he still thinks about her. This is all that stupid girl's fault. I pushed back my anger and tears and straddled him and whispered seductively.

"No, no, no, baby. It's Lisa."

"Lisa."

He said dreamlike.

"Yes, baby. Lisa. You love me and you're in love with me.

"I love you... I'm in love with you."

"That's right, honey. You'd do anything for me."

"... do anything for you."

"Yep. That's includes getting rid of Kwen, right?"

"Kwen?... my daughter..."

"Yes, that one. You'll do it for me, won't you?"

I took him out his boxers and postioned himself at my opening and slid myself down on it. He groaned, gripping my hips.

"Mmmm... yes... rid of Kwen."

I rode him, moving my hips in a circular motion. I closed my eyes, enjoying the feel of him inside me.

"You love me, right?"

"I love...you"

"Only me?"

I began to bounce up and down on his thickness. His grip on my hips tightened.

"... only you."

I became more and more slick with each word he spoke. I was getting close.

"Nobody else? No one else can have you. You're only mine!"

I said as I drew closer and closer to my climax. I rode faster and harder, needing to feel him deep in me.

"On...ly yours."

I screamed as my orgasm ripped through me. I bounced as gushed out, my juices dripping. He came not too long after me, causing another orgasm to hit. Brandon groaned out, holding on, as his upper half jolted up towards me. I wrapped my arms around his body as we both came down from our intense session. I rubbed circles into his back and kissed his cheek and forehead. He rubbed his face against mine, kissing my collar.

"I love you... my... Minnie."

I damn near choked on my tongue. I caressed his hair back.

"Lisa, darling. Its Lisa."

I gently slid off his lap and laid down in bed, facing the door to the bathroom, away from him. I wrapped my arms around myself. He came over and wrapped his arms around me, snuggling his face up against the back of my head.

"My... Lisa. I love you."

I cried silently to myself, knowing it was a lie.
