The Rejected Wolf

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Tyler’s POV

It’s six and we are in the car going to the castle. At seven, we make it to the castle. We park in front of a huge castle. I thought it was going to be like a medieval castle, but it’s not. It’s like a huge mansion that screams billionaire. It probably has a TV cinema, tennis courts and a game room. Not my type of place, but it will have to do.

Wow, that sound like a snob. Oh well, let’s just get tonight over with. There are many packs present, I wonder if Brandon or Alpha Oliver will be here. Hmm, of course they would, I mean nobody can refuse the royals. As on cue, a butler appears and escorts to a large hall. There are many pictures on the walls. It feels like I have been here before, maybe when I was younger. Gahh, I don’t know.

We are seated at one of the tables in front. I hope I don’t attract any attention that will attract Brandon or Arjen. I don’t think Arjen would be here, but I left Brandon with just a letter, he might want an explanation. I just hope he doesn’t attack me.

Knowingly, Hannah comforts me by putting her arm around me. She is a great Luna; I still can’t imagine her being bad. When we met, I sensed good in her. I will only be able to judge her when she does something wrong. We wait for the other packs to arrive. Soon all the packs get here, the meeting starts. The only thing that shocks me is that the Lunar looks just like me. Exactly like me, just older.

The meeting went on and on, the Lunar kept staring at me. I don’t know whether to be shocked or relieved. He might be my brother. The King discussed ways in which to protect the packs if there were any rouge attacks. There were too many protocols for me to memorize, I just seemed like I had a clue to what he was saying by nodding every time the others agreed to what he said. It seems like it’s a serious issue because apparently, we will be targeted soon. I need to find a way to protect my pack. They are my family now and I will risk my life for them.

The meeting ended, they provided dinner for everyone. Everyone ate merrily and the tension dissolved. That was until the King and Lunar stood up to make an important announcement. “Dear guests, as many of you know, we had three sons. Due to the war, our one son was taken from us. We looked everywhere for him, but no avail. Just the other day, we received a call that my friend took him to use him as leverage, he abused him every day. Yes, that so-called friend of mine has been killed. With very compelling intel, we got to know who he is today. He is among us today. His name is Tyler”.....wait my name is Tyler????? I am the missing royal, no there must be some type of mistake if I am. No. I refuse to believe it. There must be another guy named Tyler out in the crowd. I am an orphan, nobody wants me. I have only been rejected before.

“Tyler...Tyler...Ty....” huh, oh Hannah is nudging me for some reason. “What?” I whisper. I seem to have zoned out by the looks of it. “They are calling you onto the stage”, she tells me. So, the son is me, hmm, I will never let anyone claim that I’m their son. They didn’t look hard enough. They survived without me for all these years, so they can survive without me forever. I stand up and instead of walking to the stage; I walk out of the hall. To hell with them. My life was miserable, and they lived lavishly. The only family I have is Aunt Mag and my children. The rest can go stuff themselves. I reach a beautiful garden. The roses are so amazing. I suddenly knock into a wall, no a person. “Arjen?”
