~Nolan~ I had a feeling that something like this would happen because late Alpha Jackson was warned severally by my father, I sensed a war coming which was the major reason why I made myself absent, I was not as cruel as my father who derived pleasure in spilling innocent blood, I had plans of changing Mystic Shadow pack for good. We deserved to be respected and not feared, we were the bad egg that everybody stayed away from, for the sake of their safety, if we continued like this, the lycan throne was never going to get to us considering that the Lycan king had no heir. The goddess worked in strange ways that we could not understand. Sometimes I wondered if she had compassion for her creatures, so many times, I have watched innocent people die because she chose to act nonchalantly. I could not question her since she must have her reasons for everything. Maybe, this world was too toxic for the good ones to live in and peace was on the other side, one thing which I did not expect from the goddess was her act of giving me, the daughter of Alpha Jackson as a mate. She was weak…. She had a wolf but failed to shift which was very weird considering that her 18th year birthday was celebrated on the day that her parents were slaughtered. Cruel, I know! My father just liked striking at unexpected hours, it was a happy day for their little angel but he had to take that joy away from her. One thing was clear, she hates us all and I really would not blame her for that, in her head, she deserved better and I did too. I really did not want to invest my time and energy into training her, she would surely seek revenge on all of us when she gets stronger, that was something I was not willing to risk. Her pretty brown doe eyes kept pleading with me to save her but I just sat there, staring like I did not care in the world while enjoying her sweet scent. The goddess really took her to create her, no wonder, her parents were always protective of her, they never allow anybody to see her at all. She was in fact homeschooled. Her beautiful, long ginger hair spread on her shoulders and I wanted to run my hands through them, she was petite in size, just the way that I wanted my mate to be. Her cheekbones were perfect for her oval face and the freckles made her extra cute and innocent, why would anybody want to hurt her? She was everything that I had pictured in my head for a mate but our connection and history was not going to let us happen. If I were in her shoes, I would not want to be with me because there would be a constant reminder of the pain, the best thing that I could do for her was to reject her, so she would be able to find a second chance mate. The darkness in me was surely going to overshadow her light and I did not want that to happen at all, I would have to protect her from every maltreatment that my father had planned for her, I was not even worried about him. Nyla was going to be a huge problem, she liked bullying people so that she could feel better about herself, all of these behaviours would not be happening if my mother was still alive. After her death, everything just changed for the worse. My father started abusing alcohol since we werewolves had high tolerance for it, he would get triggered at the slightest and his reaction was never good, he was hardly sober. It was disastrous for a while until he managed to get better but he never went back to the jovial alpha that everybody liked. It was the major reason why the Lycan tolerated most of his cruel behaviour because he understood the pain that my father was going through. My dad claimed that my mum took his happiness with her death, we all missed her. It was one of the reasons why I could sit back and do evil unless that side of me was more dominant. My wolf was the direct opposite of me, he was just like my father, so difficult to control, it never ended well whenever I shifted which was why most of my pack members always got frightened when my eyes changed colour, my wolf was always deadly during a fight, most wolves avoided me because of it. His strength made me, my father’s pride. I could not bear to see her in pain, she was already going through an emotional trauma, I saw no need for them to inflict injuries on her, even though, she would heal fast due to the alpha blood in her. ‘’Enough!’’ ‘’That’s enough!’’ I ordered them without raising my voice too much. ‘’Release the girl.’’ I added. They instantly obeyed me without thinking twice, ‘’Take her to the silver jail and…’’ ‘’Father, can I speak to you, privately?’’ I asked him before walking away to his office. She would be safe there until she healed completely and would be assigned a room to stay instead of the slums that my father had in mind. She was still the alpha’s daughter, at least that respect should be there instead making her rank lower than that of an omega. As soon as he got into the office, he slammed the door in anger, ‘’What was the meaning of that? Who gave you the right to interfere?!’’ I was going to deal with this issue in a calm way, no matter what, I was not going to let my wolf dominate me, I could not understand why I even cared so much. I was the king of nonchalance which was why a lot of things had been going wrong in this pack, everybody saw cruelty as a normal thing, I never bothered to intervene. My mother would be disappointed wherever she is but I saw the way that my father treated her like a queen despite the fact that she was once an omega, so I would not dare to be mean to my mate. ‘’Her parents are dead, you attacked them on her birthday. Let the girl grief in peace instead of tormenting her. She can work as a slave here but the torture is unneccessary, do not forget that she is an alpha’s child. She can rise one day and destroy you.’’ I tried to warn him. ‘’Oh, will you shut up?! Can you even hear yourself speak?! You are Nolan, the son of the ruthless Alpha Carlos and here, you are having compassion on your enemy! I am ashamed of you!’’ he blurted out. ‘’Have you ever considered the fact that I am not nothing like you or you just happened to hate the side of me that reminds you of mum?’’ I questioned him and watched as his eyes fell. He slowly turned his back and his voice became hoarse, ‘’Alpha Jackson and I had a deal, he broke the rule and paid with his life. His daughter will be the sacrificial lamb and she is too weak to ever rise against me, I will break every wings of hers just like her parents.’’ ‘’If you have any attraction towards that girl, you had better stop yourself because no daughter of my enemy would ever be the Luna of this pack! Over my dead body, get back into character! This good side of yours irks me, it would have been better if you followed your mother when she died, at least, I would not have to deal with this rubbish.’’ he added. Nyla would always be his favourite, his evil princess. ‘’Can’t you just be like your sister for once?!’’ ‘’You should know me by now, father. It is either I care or I do not. It is always the latter, princess Elena is not important to me but before you start maltreating her, allow her get over her parent’s death.’’ I told him. He narrowed his eyes at me in a deadly glare which did not scare me at all, ‘’Do not forget that I am still the alpha of this pack and I cannot do whatever I want. Your advice is not needed, this is between me and late Jackson. If you cannot sit and watch her suffer then go back from wherever cabin that you are coming from!’’ Yeah, I always made things horrible for him whenever I visited. The door pushed open to reveal my despicable twin sister, I instantly rolled my eyes at him while she gave me a dirty look of irritation, ‘’Do not mind him, father. You should be used to his behavior by now, as for that stupid princess. I will make sure that I humble her in the worst way possible, it seems that she has not realised that she has no parents or guards to protect her, she is all alone in this world and she just happened to be in Mystic Shadow pack, the den of evil.’’ If that was her plan, then I would just have to prolong my stay in this pack.
