CHAPTER 4: BROTHERS REUNITED
780 Words
Kai’s POV
“How is he ? Did he mention anything about me ? Was he fine all these years ? Will he come tomorrow ? Does he still hate me ?”, I asked Jax.
“Jesus Christ ! Let me atleast enter before you attack me with those volley of questions’, he said and whizzed past me.
I caught him by the arm and I could feel tears rimming in my eyes.
I never cried even when I was inflicted the worst torture during mission consignments but when it came to Ty, my heart would crumple, making me weaken.
“Please”, I meekly begged.
Jax pulled the ends of his hair in frustration and sighed, “Fine !”
He let me in his room and told me everything.
“I was drugged that day”, I murmured.
“I know. Dad Victor told us about how he helped you deal with that witch”, Jax said quietly.
“Then why didn’t you talk to me all these years ?”, I asked in obvious fury. “Five f*****g years, you avoided me, Jax ! I not only lost the love of my life but also my brother that day. Do you realize how much I felt like killing myself over and over again ?”, I continued with anger.
“I guess I was angry with myself too that I let Ty go away and solely blamed you. He was my best friend, Kai and you hurt him even if you didn’t mean to. In any case, how stupid can you be to let yourself get drugged”, he indignantly snapped.
“I didn’t know that witch had drugged my coffee. Brianna cunningly put a spell on me that morning”, I said with hopeless guilt.
It was embarrassing for an Alpha wolf to not trace or sniff out anything fishy but in my defence, I had a hard night the day before and I really couldn’t think through things in the morning.
“So what did you guys do with Brianna and the witch ?”, Jax asked.
“Dad Victor was furious with the witch and he burned her instantly while I lost it to my wolf and snapped off Brianna’s head and burned her”, I muttered lowly.
“You guys killed them just like that ?”, Jax asked in shock. “That’s coldblooded murder, Kai !”
“I know and as a punishment, the council refused to let me contact Ty till he returned back and I have been dying to see him for all these years”, I said heart brokenly.
“Is that why you went to the military ?”, Jax softly said.
“Yes. I wanted to forget my pain and I trained really hard. I would go through insane lengths to just numb myself from everything. I did not want to come back but those guys sent me back saying that I had a responsibility towards my pack”, I revealed.
“I am sorry, Kai. I didn’t know you were dealing with so much”, he said. He hugged me tight with tears streaming down his face and rested his head on my shoulder. “I am so sorry. I am such an ass-”
“Shush …. never say such things about yourself. I am just glad that you are back. I really missed you”, I confessed.
“I missed you too, brother”, Jax sobbed.
I smacked a chaste brotherly kiss on his lips and he was shocked but then grinned. I used to kiss him like that when we were kids and he would always giggle afterwards. It was a great mechanism to calm him down too.
I loved all my siblings and our childhood was filled with pulling off pranks on all pack members and carrying out deadly missions together but Jax and I shared a more special bond and this was maybe due to Ty too.
We three were inseparable and that is why our parents decided to let us three stay in the same school while the others were sent to different schools.
“I love you, Kai”, Jax murmured and hugged me even tighter as he nestled himself in my lap.
“I love you too, Jax”, I replied but he had already dozed off to sleep in my arms. Seems like he needed this too. He looked more peaceful and at ease even when he was asleep.
I too felt the same. A huge weight seemed to have lifted off my chest but I still needed to make amends with Ty.
I don’t want to lose him as a friend too.
I wonder who will be my mate.
I will never hurt my mate like I did to Ty. I need a fresh start with a new partner and find love again.
With this as my last thought, I placed Jax gently on my bed and spooned him closer to me as I too sunk into the darkness of sleep.
