Release Me (On Hold)

Chapter 7

Killian

My run didn't last long, I couldn't be what my father wanted me to be, I didn't want to be him before he met my mother. He had order, a heartless pack. We used to be monsters feared by others but he was forced to find a mate because he needed someone to pass on the Alpha Title to one day.

It took years to have a son. My mother had two girls before me and then Katie who I would kill anyone who hurt her. I chose Jaclyn as my mate because of Katie, in ways I see how she's sweet, caring, and kind even if she doesn't speak. Isaiah had explained about the child she had, and it broke my heart even after she lost her parents she won't let the little boy grow up without someone taking care of him even if she was young even if she would never speak again.

I knew my father would never allow him to stay; he would have made him a Rogue and I knew it'd kill her to see that happen to him. Doing what I thought was best for her I left him that way he would stay in a pack and with someone he knew. Jaclyn must hate me and I guess that helps with what I'm supposed to be doing, it didn't make sense to me if my father never wanted a mate but was forced to how did he end up with three kids?

My soft hearted loving mother used to tell me stories about the beginning years of their marriage. It wasn't as good as it is now, the love my mother has for my father is clear in her eyes when she hears him walk through the door after a long day with Alpha duties. I know my father wants to hand everything over to me to stay home with her but he also knows I'm not ready, he thinks I'm too soft and that other packs will step all over me because of it.

I go back to my office listening to any noise coming from the room upstairs, but it's quiet I wonder if she went back to sleep or if she was sitting in a chair by the window looking out into the dark wishing her son was with her, I itch to stretch what my mind sees but I had stopped painting and drawing g since I began taking over Alpha duties but sometimes I find myself wishing to draw again.

Sighing to myself I look down at the work in front of me.

Jaclyn

I sit in the middle of my bed afraid to sleep, I want to pace around trying to think of my dream never before had I woken actually hurt. Did this have to do with Raphael not being here? What did it mean? I try remembering the details of the dream but most of its fading. You're not safe Jaclyn we know what you are it's only a matter of time before we come back for you. He's words ring inside my head. Was this a warning? A sign that we had unfinished business, I would have thought he'd left me alone I haven't done anything wrong not since the night that came running through our pack like wild men hunting down my mom for breaking the law, but leaving Isaiah and I alone since they couldn't prove that we were anything more then wolf.

I know I'd be safe because I have a wolf, but Isaiah won't be because he's a wizard. It was heartbreaking, that hybrids couldn't live in the High Court were afraid we were to powerful and go crazy like one child did many years ago because she has half witch and vampire it was a weird mix since vampires stay away from others even then. They had taken the young girl to be a bride to one of their own and changed the witch into a vampire but instead she kept her powers from when she was a witch and went mad with power the strength she had and speed she killed many of her own kind blaming them for what happened.

The High Court decided then that no one from a different creature would be allowed to date or marry or have children together. My mother broke all those rules even though she belonged to someone else and had a child with him. They were only discovered when my sister at the young age of twelve didn't know how to control her powers and the shifting of her wolf.

And one night a few years ago the High Court with a pack of Rogues attacked our pack. I lost both parents and my twin that night. The next day I was a mother to a one year old. Rogues were peaceful at times they usually worked for the High Court, my father and mother was killed then in order to make an example out of them or to clean up the mess they set fire to our house Isaiah wasn't home but I was i watched as my twin went running into the house hoping to save our parents.  

I knew that the High Court would be watching us even though I was keeping us all safe. I choose to keep away from others in order to keep everyone in my leftover family hidden. I can't do that now. I was so confused. What did the dream mean? I couldn't move. I had so many questions but no answers. I needed Raphael but thanks to needing to get out of the pack I ended up with a mate.

I bit my lip thinking about the dinner I had, why did Killian choose me? A girl who can't speak, it just didn't make any sense to me. Sighing to myself I got out of bed I just couldn't sit still, my mind was racing I wish it just shut up.

Looking at my violin I turned all my thoughts to the hours my mother sat in the living room playing for hours on hand, how she'd sing softly to the music and how she took time to teach me to play when I asked her too. Sydney wanted to learn the piano, something didn't from me, and together we would play our favorite songs whenever we could both sing along with our mother watching us, our father would come home after a long day to us music sometimes he'd join us on the guitar.

I always wondered if Isaiah kept his guitar when though we didn't have the same father, my father did try to teach him but I don't think he wanted to learn. Going over to my violin I pick it up as I make my way to the window opening it up I look down I was on the third floor of the pack house it was way too much of a fall for me even with being half witch.

I smirk to myself of course I didn't think of that I can't believe I forgot I could do that.
