The Alpha And His Rejected Fae Princess

No Son Of Mine Part 2

Third Person POV

Cordelia placed a soothing hand on Liam's arm, her perfectly manicured nails resting on his skin. "Oh sweetheart," she said kindly "Your father doesn't mean to say it. It just slips out," she said defending him.

Liam wanted to roll his eyes. What the hell was going on? He stared at Cordelia's face, mesmerizing it, taking in every little detail, from the dainty little nose to the color of her eyes. Then he sucked in a breath as he realized exactly where he had seen her before, the memory coming to him unbidden.

She was bent over the desk, her blonde hair loose, cascading over her shoulders, naked, while his father had his pants around his ankles, his c**k sliding in and out of her as he f****d her, while Liam's mother felt the pain of her mate being with another upstairs.

Rage sparked in Liam. He got to his feet. His father stood up as well. "I know who this woman is" Liam snarled, shrugging off Cordelia's hand when she tried to approach him again "You were with her that day. I saw you," he said incredulously "you were busy with this w***e and mother killed herself that same day" he hissed.

Slap. He felt his father's hand as it slapped him across the face. Liam barely flinched, the stinging pain another brutal reminder of why he hated his father so much. A red handprint appeared on his left cheek but he barely cared.

"Do not refer to Cordelia as a w***e again, is that understood" Alpha Johnathon growled as Cordelia smiled triumphantly in the background.

Liam just stared at his father dully. He would never understand his father's motives for anything. The rage continued to grow. His father sat back down. Cordelia sat. "Liam honey, please sit down" she pleaded "Don't make your father any angrier" she added.

Liam just scowled at her but obediently sat down. His body was trembling in indignation. His father was glowering at him now, as though Liam was the problem. Liam swallowed hard. He needed to keep his cool. But the urge to scream and vent at his father was so strong that it was almost overwhelming. His father sighed. "Why can't you just behave," he told his son with admonishment "Then there would be no need to discipline you" he added.

"Just tell him the news my love" urged Cordelia with love in her voice.

Liam wanted to wince. Cordelia was at least half his father's age for heaven's sake.

His father put both his hands together and clasped his fingers "Cordelia and I have decided that its time to get married. We're going to mark each other at the ceremony."

Cordelia and I are getting married, and we're going to mark each other at the ceremony, the words repeated themselves in Liam's mind and his mouth shot open in shock. "You would marry someone who is not your mate?" Liam said stunned, in disbelief. Somewhere out there, it was likely his father had a second chance mate, although he was sure to do nothing but cause her misery as well.

"I'm not getting any younger and I love Cordelia" his father growled "We've been seeing each other for a year now and it's time the pack had a new luna, one who is strong and capable of defending the pack against rogues and other potential dangers."

"Mother was only weakened because of you" whispered Liam, "she was strong before she had me, everyone told me that."

His father looked at him. "Your mother was pathetic. She couldn't handle the depression of knowing I was with others, even though I told her before we were married that Alpha was not the type to stay faithful. It isn't my fault she didn't listen to what I was trying to tell her" he said blithely.

Cordelia smiled "But you're going to stay faithful to me, aren't you babe," she said cheerfully.

"You're different from Carissa" Alpha Johnathon assured her "There is no comparison my dear. I can't take my hands off of you. I will have no need to stray" he added.

Gross. Liam's head was spinning. The room was feeling claustrophobic. His eyes were flashing dark and then back to normal to dark, over and over again. His father hesitated. This didn't seem like the usual anger that Liam exhibited. For starters, Liam wasn't saying a word as his eyes changed. Then there was the sudden tension in the air, so thick you could cut it with a knife. Cordelia was getting to her feet, her dress billowing around her. "Johnathon" she shouted "what's happening?" she cried.

He looked at his son, seeing the clenched jaw, the darkened eyes, the blood dripping from his nails that were dug into the palms of his hands, and felt a moment of panic. Surely it was far too soon? In fact, it was preposterous, what he was considering.

"I don't know" Johnathon yelled, "but I'm going to put a stop to it" he snarled.

Liam's head felt like it was about to split wide open, a headache forming behind his eyes. He heard a voice speaking to him and wondered if he had finally lost his mind.

Hello. I am your wolf, Apollo. It is a pleasure to meet you. You have not gone crazy. I am merely showing myself to you. Your anger has brought me to the surface much earlier than originally planned.

What do I do now? What exactly is happening Apollo?

First off, your father is seriously f****d up. Not going to lie, that is a toxic relationship that just needs Dr. Phil or Jerry Springer to show just how bad it is.

What the hell is Jerry Springer and who is Dr. Phil?

Never mind. I digress. What's happening is that you are about to shift while you are still quite young. Your sheer rage, combined with how powerful you are as an Alpha means that you've brought on the transition.

Is it going to hurt?

I am going to take as much of the pain as I can for you. But it will still be painful, I'm not going to lie. I'm also going to try to speed it up a little so that it doesn't hurt as much.

Thanks, Apollo

Alright, now prepare yourself, because it's happening in 3, 2, 1. . .

Liam let out a scream and sank to his knees as he felt his bones beginning to break. His father halted in his tracks and Cordelia stayed in the corner, trembling with fear. "It's so early" she whimpered "How is this possible?" she asked.

Alpha Johnathon didn't know. But he did know that to shift this early meant that his son was powerful, more powerful than himself and he became afraid. He mind-linked several warriors to come to him with silver chains and wolfsbane.

Liam's screams continued, his body heaving and rippling as his bones adjusted, fur growing on his hands and legs, before going all over his body. Soon his screams faded away and in place of Liam sat a giant, dazed, looking pure black wolf with black eyes that growled at them both.

Alpha Johnathon prepared to shift but the door burst open with the warriors. One darted forward and plunged a syringe of wolfsbane into Liam's hind. Thankfully Liam was still shocked by his transition and unable to put up much of a fight. Silver chains were thrown over him as the wolf howled in pain, scrabbling at the chains which burnt his flesh and caused it to bubble. Alpha Johnathon stared down at his son, or rather the wolf his son had grown into, with narrowed eyes. He made a decision. He couldn't risk his own son overthrowing him. Yes, he would have given him the Alpha position eventually, but only because he had no other children to pass it along to. Now he could have another heir with Cordelia, one he could mold from birth to be just as coldhearted and cruel as he was. Liam was too softhearted, too kind to be the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. He looked at his warriors who were patiently awaiting his instructions and hardened his heart.

"Take him to the dungeon and chain him up" he ordered "I want him given wolfsbane every day."

"But Alpha, he's your son" one protested and then shut up as Alpha Johnathon turned a stern gaze on him.

"As from today, I no longer have a son," he said coldly "and you would all do well to remember that. Now get that piece of s**t out of here" he spat, watching them drag the unresisting wolf away, it's dark eyes closed due to being unconscious.

Cordelia moved to his side. "Never mind my darling, we can have a child who will take over the pack" she purred.

He put an arm around her shoulders. "Exactly what I was thinking" he murmured in her ear "Let's go start now."
