Blood moon

Chapter 50. The true

Hunter was seeing red, he felt fury running through his veins, a feeling of bile came to his mouth, he wished to hurt her, one that would be able to never mark him again, he wished to keep him away from his wife's presence, every time something good happened in his life his brother Harley seemed determined to hurt him so that he could not be well.

What could he have done to her to make her behave that way? He felt that things were getting more and more awkward between the two of them, it all had to do with the development when their alpha powers awakened, they showed that the younger brother was far more skilled than the older one, he had agility and depth beyond any doubt.

Harley felt he was a threat, his younger brother was becoming more and more dangerous, he needed to get rid of him, but just now he had no idea how to do it. He was an obnoxious man, he needed to draw the line at him. Andrea was still in the room, trying to avoid a confrontation between the two.

—Look at his eyes, you just have to see it in his eyes— the way his eyes landed on Harley was more than enough. Andrea wanted him out of her sight more than ever, but she couldn't help but notice that there was something strange about Hunter, as soon as she took the trouble to notice...there it was, his eyes were a strange Crimson color, they seemed to swallow the light around them making them look even bigger.

She took two steps back, completely frightened, she tried to wipe her eyes to make sure she had seen correctly. She was too scared, when she realized that the man's eyes were not normal, it was much worse than she had thought, she had a visceral fear that he might hurt her.

—What? What's in your eyes?— the blood had drained from her cheeks.

Hunter closed his eyes, tried to pull away, but it was useless, she had already seen them, there was no return for what she now knew. It was hard for the werewolf to have a coherent thought now, because he felt uncovered, he tried to pull away but the woman recovered to go after him, when they were face to face, it was very strange.

—Why are your eyes that color, what happened to you?— Andrea felt like her life was falling apart, it was just one bad event after another, she couldn't understand the evil she was paying for things to turn out so horrible in her life, she was trying to be a good daughter, partner and friend, but everything always seemed to turn out backwards for her.

—He's a ticking time bomb and if you stay with him you'll only put yourself in more danger— Harley tried to intervene, he wanted to protect her from herself.

—What are you talking about? What's wrong with him?— Hunter was on his back, feeling like s**t. Now he was feeling worse and worse, he hated his big brother more for doing this to him.

—Tell him, f**k— Hunter growled angrily, —tell him the f*****g truth, you're dying to, even after lying to him— even though the words were coming out of his mouth, he wasn't capable with the situation.

Harley was thinking about it, after all he had been the one to open the pandora's box. Andrea hit the man's chest in search of explanations, but she felt she could not tell him anything, because the hardest thing was to expose them all to a woman who they did not know if she would be able to keep the secret, the way she behaved made everything very difficult.

Harley realized her mistake too late, she had lost herself guided by the feelings of love she thought she had, she forgot that her duty was with the herd, with the people who saw her grow up and not with a woman. The collective good took precedence over the individual, he had lived it several times as a child, buried among books and blood to be the best, but now he seemed to have completely forgotten his duties as the leader of the pack.

He had fought with his father to announce his position as the leader, and now he acted like a f*****g bastard when he had the chance, he no longer knew how to turn back time, the woman saw those red eyes, it would be hard to explain, as soon as he realized he had grown in height and weight, his habits would become more aggressive.

—TELL THE TRUTH, I'M TIRED OF THE GAMES—Harley couldn't even look her in the eye now.

Hunter grabbed her hand, and turned her around so she could see him.

—I'm a werewolf, you're in one of their towns and my coward brother is trying to explain that to you— Andrea began to shake her head, feeling lost, were they still lying to her? she couldn't believe it, she refused to believe in the stupidities they were putting forward.

—I don't believe anything, what's going on?

Hunter transformed one of his hands into claws and she began to scream, as loud as her lungs would allow her to, she was terrified, now she did believe them, but she couldn't understand it. Harley rushed to put a hand over her mouth to shut her up, he still couldn't get a word in edgewise.

—I'm a werewolf, everyone in my family is, that's why I was being cautious with you, I wanted you to have the chance to find out things on your own, to understand if you wanted to be by my side and to have the time to choose, but that was taken away from us— Hunter's eyes lit up even more —But we are at war, do you remember the legend I told you at the lake? well, it's not a legend, it's the formation of my people and right now we are in a predicament, you need to be safe.

I couldn't understand what it meant, Andrea was more than confused.

—What?

—The man who died in the lake revived, both as alphas, both led two families. Just now our rival family is interested in wiping out everything and we have serious suspicions that this man will come looking for you, because their leader is a despicable man who wants all the power for himself.

Andrea felt very sad and exhausted, her head was spinning in all directions.
