Chapter 16
Tyler’s POV
“Before you crush your brother, Tyler, let me introduce you to your brothers.” He walks up to the tall one. He is handsome and you can see that he inherited my father’s features. He looks really strong. “This is Jason, he is your eldest brother and will be the next King. That’s his mate Matthew”, he told me pointing to a short Hispanic man standing next to Jason. He walked up to me and smiled. He touched my cheek and gave me a peck. He’s shorted than me and so cute. I know now that we are going to be great friends. “Nice to meet you both, I hope I’m not intruding”, I tell them. They chuckle, “No Ty, we just so happy to have you back. Our family feels whole again”, again with the delusional attitude.
I don’t know what to say, so I just smile at them. “I’m Carter, you other brother. I missed you so much. We have prayed to have you back for the longest time.” My other brother tells me. “And I’m Coral, Carter’s mate.” She has these beautiful intense blue eyes and that explains why she was named Coral. I smile at her and turn to my father. It is now or never; I need to know why I was taken.
“Before I let this progress, I need to know the whole story of why I was taken. Who took me and how did I land in the Blue Moon Pack?” They all look at each other and frown. It’s not a difficult question. I need to be able to judge them correctly, they might be the main reason I was taken or I maybe it was out of their control. My birthfather opens his mouth, but he’s at a loss for words. I don’t hold my breathe. I start walking towards the exit. Before I can move any further than I already am, my father grabs my wrist and ushers me towards the lounge.
Once we get there, everyone settles onto each sofa. My father begins, “it all began when you were just a year old. We knew that you had the status of an omega, but that didn’t matter. However, it did to some in the family, like your grandfather. He despised them and always resented your birthfather. He couldn’t do anything to break our relationship because I was already the king. When your brothers were born, they possessed qualities of strong wolves. Eventually, he accepted my relationship with your birthfather. He was a great leader and many people followed him.”
My birthfather clings onto my father as he continues, “he died a year before you were born. Everything was going great, you were born. We were so happy, we wanted to give you the world. We wanted to prove to the world that an omega could achieve anything they wished. When you turned one, we had a huge party for you. We invited all the packs. People from oversees also attended. Everything was going smoothly until we put you down for a nap that afternoon.”
Jason and Carter are clenching their fists now, the interesting part is probably coming up. “We were all outside attending to the guests and getting the dinner ready. Your nanny, Greta was left to keep an eye on you. The baby monitor was quiet, so we didn’t worry much. Your birthfather went up to get you ready and when he went into the room, we discovered the worst.”
This is getting so dramatic, I urge him on, “He found Greta shot point-blank and you were missing. There was no letter indicating a random and no scent indicating who or what took you. We searched, everyone searched for you for years. Even the vampires helped look for you. One the day of your fifth birthday, we received a call from a man that I thought was my best friend. He admitted that he took you and killed Greta. Our hope shattered at that moment when he told us that he killed you. He couldn’t cope with you crying for us and he got so angry that he slammed you into a rock and you died.”
I had tears in my eyes now and my parents were sobbing. “It hurt so much, we both died at that moment. We didn’t leave our chambers for two months. We had to come out because we realised that we were neglecting your brothers and I had a job to do as king. We were never the same again. Everyone in the kingdom wept when we buried your empty coffin. We buried the coffin next to your grandfather.”
I have so many questions now. No parent should go through what my parents did. I was so cruel to think that they abandoned me. We all suffered, my parents lost a child, my brothers didn’t have the support of parents for a long time. This makes me feel like all of this is my fault. Wherever I went, I put the people around me in terrible situations. Why did he take me? I voice my thoughts and they all look into space.
