Her Mute Sister (Complete)

Chapter Twenty Six

                                                                Ansel's POV

    Even though I had Alpha training I began trying to talk with Willow a little more.  Her being in her room during the day actually made it easier to talk to her.  I also had made some plans of what I’d want to do when she gets to my pack next year.  I of course wouldn’t mention being her mate to her yet, I’d wait till her sixteenth birthday for that.  Instead I would suggest she get therapy as she most definitely needs it with the horrible upbringing she had.  I then would get her a private tutor to help get her caught up with her education since I’m almost certain she never really had much of one in the first place outside of what her expected duties were.  I would of course make sure she’d be okay with everything before I did anything.

    As the days went I counted the days left till my Alpha training was over.  I paid attention of course to what I was learning but I was still excited for when I would eventually become Alpha.  It’d be shortly after my 18th birthday as my father was ready to retire.  I didn’t have any younger siblings as my mother died during childbirth.  My father still mourns for her.  I’m sad I never got to know her, but I did still have a mother figure in my life at least.  My fathers Betas Mate took that spot since no one else could.  Even though she has 8 children, she considered me to be one of her own.  I’m so grateful I had her in my life.  My father considered Beta Dillon to be like a brother to him so all his kids called my father uncle.  We were essentially a big happy family.  I know my father wishes my mother had lived but he’s at least happy I survived as there was a very real possibility I could’ve died too when I was born.  

    When I had a break I decided to text Willow    

    Hey Willow, I have a half hour break, I wanted to know how you’re doing

    I waited for her to respond, as I waited I decided to get some water and eat a snack.  When I came back I saw there was a message from her.

    Hey Ansel, I’m ok.  It’s nice hearing from you

    I’m glad, I wish I could come visit you

     Why??

    Um… Because you seem like a nice girl and I’d like to get to know you more

    Hmmm I suppose that makes sense

    Anyway I need to get back to training I’ll text you later 

    Ok bye Weirdo

    I put my phone and went back to training.  I got to spare with a guy I got along with, I’m not really friends with him but we get along.  I only see him during training as he lives far away from my pack.  I did have friends, they just were a little older than me and were already Alphas of their packs so they were a bit busy.  However we all planned to have alliances with each other since we get along very well and they run their packs very nicely.  I planned to grow our pack a bit since our pack was a little small.  I mean we were powerful and very wealthy but it doesn’t hurt to increase numbers either.  I wanted to allow rogues to join our pack as long as they weren’t dangerous criminals.  Of course we have background checks we can do and I can find out why someone is a rogue whether it’s because they were born a rogue, banished, or voluntarily left the pack.  My father at the current moment refused to allow rogues to join our pack for some unknown reason.  I also had a few other things I wanted to have in place, like therapy being readily available to everyone that needed it, an orphanage, and a center for those who were escaping abusive mates.  That last one would be new as no other pack has built one before since everyone believes that mates are forever and can never separate regardless of what's going on.  In some packs women are viewed as being a mans property which I find rather disgusting.

    I finally head to bed after a long day of training and I can’t help but wonder about my Willow.  I hope things are getting better for her.  I can’t wait for next year when I can finally take her away from that awful place.  I’ve already discussed things with my father and he agreed to help me get her away from there.  Of course I have to play the part of being a slave owner which makes me sick to my stomach.  It is necessary of course but I really wish it wasn’t because she  doesn’t deserve to go through any of this.  No one does.  Even if she wasn’t my mate, I would still do all of this because it’s wrong to own people, especially if that person is your own flesh and blood.  How could anyone do that?  It’s just disgusting, I of course will never enter in to an alliance with a pack that owns slaves.  To me it shows a lot about who a person is.  If they’re willing to own others then what else do they believe is ok?  What else are they willing to do behind ones back?  Some may say it makes no sense but that’s what I believe so it is what it is.

    I woke up and today we started going over policies and laws that all Alphas must obey.  I still think it’s interesting that owning slaves isn’t illegal, just frowned upon.  Of course there are five other Alphas in my class of thirty that still own slaves and no one bats an eye at it.  To some they think it’s just a matter of opinion when really I don’t think it is.  It’s not a matter of opinion when it comes to other peoples lives.  Of course I’m kind of in the minority on that one.  There's only four others in the class who agree with me.  The one guy I mentioned earlier about not being his friend, it’s because he believes its a matter of opinion.  I can’t stand to be friends with people like that.  Of course I won’t be mean to him, I just keep a bit of a distance is all.
