Timeless Love: Second Chance

3. An Argument

╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗

[Selena's POV]

"...Why's this i***t here?" Isaac said.

"Yeah. I thought that it was breakfast with 'family'. There's no need for a random person to join us." Reece added.

I recognized their voices immediately. But I simply replied with a gentle sigh.

"Good morning to you two, Reece, Isaac. My lovely brothers.." I said that without even turning around to face them.

There was a thick atmosphere surrounding us at the dining table. I can clearly tell that my brothers would not love this action of mine. But I was waiting for them to calmly sit down.

However, they obviously had other plans, disregarding what I had hoped for....

"Father! Why is she here!?" Reece began the conversation by screaming at me and slamming his hand on the table. So aggressively that I thought that the dining table would actually snap in two.

Reese Euton is the oldest out of the twins. The strongest warrior in our pack, most of the training was happening with him being in charge.

Our pack might not be great at defensive tactics or knowledge.

But what we are good at, even the best at, is combat and speed.

“Reece, contain your strength in this household when it’s not necessary.” My father told him, while reading his daily newspaper. As an alpha, he needs to be up to date with all the news surrounding him.

“But Reese is right! What is ‘she’ doing here?” Isaac asked, but unlike his twin brother, he asked the question more calmly, but it was obvious that he wasn’t really in the nicest mood to be all good around him.

Isaac Euton, unlike his older twin brother, was much stronger in advanced knowledge of scouting, finding information about other packs, their alphas, and current situations happening around our pack, Moonlight Dwellers.

He much preferred to be a scout, since his fighting level was not that great.

I knew that I deserved this way of treatment, not being acknowledged by my own siblings for being such an asshole in the past. But this was slowly starting to piss me off.

“I have a f*****g name, you know.” I blurted that out, not even caring that my father would tell me off for using such language at the table, but I was going to defend myself.

To my surprise, my father didn’t say much. So that meant for me that he was giving me a chance to strike back.

My brothers also noticed how our father was not interfering, but they were angry at me, so they didn’t care much about that.

“Did you hear that, brother? Someone decided to speak up.” Reece smirked while looking at me.

“I heard that, brother. I can’t believe that such a mouse was speaking up in our presence.” Isaac added, while glaring at me.

Honest to god, it felt like he was drilling a hole through me with that glare of his.

This just pissed me off even more, so I stood up and glared at both of my siblings. I was so close to grabbing anything that was near me and just beating the s**t out of both of them.

“Listen here, you little shits. I understand that I have been a shitty older sister, but can we f*****g sit together at one table and then proceed in dealing with our current situation? Because right now, I am very hungry and I’ve been craving after mom’s food. Aren’t you guys too?” I said, feeling quite proud of what I did.

But I didn’t even get time to get back to my seat. Isaac and Reece were not pleased with how I fought back.

Reece snapped. “Don’t tell me what to do! You-” Before he finished his sentence, I snapped back at him.

“Sit down at the f*****g table. Now!” I roared out.

And before I could even acknowledge it, the twins took their seats and just sat there…quietly.

It took me awhile to realise that that was actually my voice. ‘Did I just… roar?’ I thought to myself, while sitting back in my seat.

My father broke the silence with a loud laugh. “Now that’s what I was waiting for! Finally, you’re showing progress by embracing your alpha nature!” He smiled brightly while laughing.

My father smiled….. He smiled….

In my previous life…. I’ve never seen my father laughing or smiling for as long as I can remember after I changed drastically.

“Selena? Are you okay dear?” I heard my mother’s concerned voice calling out to me, while placing food and plates on the table.

“H-huh?” I responded to her.

Then my father asked, “Selena… Why are you crying?”

“I’m crying?...”

That’s when it hit me… I was crying..

Tears have been running down my cheeks for awhile. Once I acknowledged that I was indeed crying, I tried to wipe down my tears as quickly as possible, but it was to no avail.

I just sat there crying, finally letting my emotions out.

“..I…I am just..s-s-so happy..” I spoke while sobbing like a child. “...I c-can f-finally ha-ang around with my f-family without having fear of dishonouring us w-with just my presence..”

Sure, I looked pretty much like a crying mess, but I didn’t care at that point. I had to deal with loneliness for far too long in my past life.

Happiness, that’s what I felt right at that moment, being surrounded by my family. I felt.. Happy.

My mother gently took my hands into hers and carefully tried to wipe my tears. “Sele honey… Me and your father are extremely happy that you’re slowly opening to us once again. And we are sorry that we made you feel extremely lonely, but if we didn’t do any of this, you would still be affected by your friend, Kayla…” She finished her humble speech, while gently rubbing my hands with her thumbs.

Reece, Isaac and my father were quietly observing us both, not knowing whether to either join in or separate us.

“...So Selena knows about Kayla’s true nature?” Reece decided to ask, because unlike me, in the past, my entire family did see through Kayla… I chose not to believe them.

I made such a stupid mistake back then, I know..

“M-mhm…” I was barely able to respond in my currently sobbing state, but I hoped that it was enough for my brothers to begin to slowly remove the grudge that they held against me.

[Reece’s POV]

I honestly didn’t expect such an outcome.. Me and Isaac thought that Selena was playing a trick on us because Kayla told her so. But now I just think that we were cautious about nothing.

All of her actions and emotions were so honest and she genuinely looked like she was about to kill Kayla, whenever any of us even mentioned that b***h's name in her presence.

Selena gave us such a simple answer that it may not have looked effective….but in reality, that was enough for me to slowly acknowledge the fact that we may have finally gotten our sister back.

Our mother grabbed our attention with a couple of claps. “Alright!~ Time to finally have breakfast with our whole family!” She shined so much when saying this sentence. Well, it was understandable from her side, she really wanted all of us to finally get along and gather as a family to spend time as one.

“Finally!” Father exclaimed too, excitedly, but we all laughed it all out and began our family breakfast.
