Chapter 17
Tyler’s POV
I wait for them to start talking, this time, my birthfather starts. “You father has a brother that’s an omega. His name is Julian. He lives in Brazil with his mate, the head alpha of South America. As expected, you grandfather didn’t approve of him, not that he didn’t love Julian, he just expected too much from him. He is kind and very tolerant, something a royal wolf doesn’t possess. Denzel, the man who kidnapped you was obsessed with him. They dated for a while, but your grandfather broke them up because they weren’t mates. He was mated to a female from another pack. Details were never disclosed.”
Nothing at this moment makes sense, I urge him to continue. “When they were broken up, Julian was heartbroken and decided to travel, that’s where he met his mate. They mated and had a few children that you will eventually meet when it’s Christmas. Denzel silently went crazy when he heard that Julian was mated to someone else. He was even on his way there to try and convince Julian to leave Renaldo, but your grandfather stopped him at the airport and forced him to accept his mate. We thought all was well until he called us.”
It makes sense, but why me? “From his reasoning, he saw how your grandfather accepted you and was envious about it. He thought that Julian deserved the love that you got. He took you out of anger. He wanted us to live without you and feel the pain he felt. I don’t know why he told us that you were dead. We are just so happy to have you back. We don’t want to lose you again. Please accept us.” He pleaded.
I need to wrap my head around this. This is all new to me, I have a loving family and a pack that accepts me. I just need a little time, maybe I could go back to Jaden’s pack for a while. If I stay here, there will be too many expectations. What if I can’t be the son that they want me to be. I can’t forget that I’m a reject and a w***e. My mate and the father of my unborn children couldn’t tolerate the sight of me. I need to be alone where I belong.
I need to tell them in a way that they wouldn’t get offended that I want to leave. “Dad, papa, I need to be alone for a while. I want to go back to my apartment. Nobody can harm me, Denzel is dead. I need to process all of this and make sure I make the right decision. I will come visit. I want to study to be a pack doctor. I have to go to UNY for it.” They look surprised but happy that I called them dad and papa. My brothers look sceptical, but it’s not their decision to make.
My dad (father) speaks first, “you can go, but you will have a guard with you at all times. This is final. We can’t risk it and I will inform alpha Jaden that you are coming back. As for my grandchildren, I want to see them grow up here. You need to make you decision in the interest of them, this will be the safest place. I will speak to the dean and you can do all your theoretical classes from your apartment until you give birth. We will live in our New York home until you decide to join us.” Who does he think I am? I can protect myself and I did for a long time. He can’t tell me what to do. Gosh I sound like a teenager. The best is to just agree with him.
I nod and everyone gets up and walks into different directions. I walk to the room I woke up in. I hope if I decide to move back, this will be my room. I have nothing to pack, but I really have the urge to eat. I remember I didn’t have breakfast yet. I walk out of the room in search of the kitchen. I pass all the creepy paintings. I pass that picture again, there is a man and woman in it that look so familiar that I can’t put my thumb on. I leave it and walk further.
I walk down the stairs and see a man that works here. “Morning, can you please tell me where the kitchen is?” I ask him. He smiles and replies, “Good morning sir, I’ll direct you to the dining hall, you can order what you want with me and I’ll bring it to you.” I smile and thank him. I follow him to the dining hall, it is different from the one we were at last night. I find a seat near the middle of the table. Walking really takes a toll when you are pregnant.
I think for a while, what should I eat. I internally smirk, I’ll ask for my favourite. “What is your name?” I ask the man. “Henry sir, what can I get you?” he smiles at me. “Please call me Tyler, Hen, can you please get me eight pancakes and chocolate sauce. To drink, I want apple juice. Please bring pickles while you at it too.” He looks at me weirdly but does not hesitate. Coral walks in and smiles at me. We talk about new music while we wait for our food.
When it does arrive, I inhale all of it. Coral laughs at me when I burp. I can see a great friendship with her. “I will be back, I still need to pack, but before I go, I must tell you. If you need anything or anyone to talk to, Matthew and I are here for you. You are part of our girl-pack by default. It can be anything at any time.” She tells me. I smile and pull her into a hug. I really needed to hear that. She laughs and lets go. “Let’s get ready before you Neanderthal brothers decide to come find us.” I giggle and we leave the room.
