1587 Words
He was currently in a cell. Not chained up, so least, that's a plus. He was given just shorts to wear after he tried to shift to his wolf and destroy his clothes. The war general grabbed him by the throat quickly and slapped cuffs on him.
"Stop resisting. Unlike what your mother has told you about me. I'm not an evil curel person. I don't actually want to hurt you, but i don't trust you. I won't have my pack members hurt or afraid," Caspian stated.
Troy was just staring at Caspian. Why should he believe you?
"I dont care if you do or don't. Believe what you want. "
Caspian got up from the chair he was sitting on and walked out of the cells. It was the following day, and food and a blanket were brought to him by Caspian.
"Here, eat, drink,"
Troy looked at the plate. Caspian looks at the food and then back at him. Caspian picked up a piece of chicken and broccoli, then sipped his drink.
"See, not poisoned,"
He was hungry he picked up the food, and ate it. Caspian just made himself comfortable on a chair outside the cell. Once he'd finished. He handed it back through. Thank you.
"You're welcome. Do you want to talk calmly now?"
About?
"Anything that your mother has claimed to be true, I will confirm if true or not, "
He was quiet and then spoke. Did you kill our father?
"Yes, I did." Caspian answered.
How?
"I took his head clean off his shoulders. He was mating my goddess, gifted mate, your mother at the time. "
You didn't hurt her, you let her go?
"I wanted to hurt her, but she had young children that would have been motherless. I was young, and i believed you made it work no matter what due to what the goddess gave you,"
Did she reject you willingly?
"I rejected her. We were no longer equals, and I flooded her with my aura and demanded her accept and reject me. She did. I had the omegas get her belongings packed, and her previous mate picked her up, and I haven't seen or heard from her for 20 years."
What about him?
"You? I knew nothing about you until Winter called me telling me a rouge was claiming I was his father and I needed to come,"
Troy was quiet. Caspian seemed genuine, but was it a trick. Why did his mother lie?
"That is something you would have to ask her. I imagine she lied, so you would hate me and want to kill me. "
She wasn't your fathers mate ever?
"No, we met at a ball when I was 19 she'd already had a chosen mate and children with him. She rejected him on the spot and moved to my pack with me. I should have known what type of person she was, then but like I said, I was young and didn't know any better."
Your mother?
"What about her?"
Their mate bond?.
"Mother said it was good at the beginning, but once she'd given birth to him. A male heir the cheating began."
He wasn't a good person then.
"As a father, he was perfect on the surface. He never missed anything with the school, holiday away, even telling him he loved him. He would drop work if I asked him, too. I even saw him affectionate toward Mother at times. I knew nothing of what he was putting her through. It was all a lie,"
Gilly, how did he fit in all this?
"His mother was an omega that Father Alpha ordered to keep quiet about their affair unwilling on her side. She gave birth to Gilly and died in childbirth. My mother bleed him to her and raised him as her own. I didn't find out he was my half-brother until my father died when he was 3 years old."
We have other siblings, you know?
"I know I heard Gilly talking to Cordeila about it. That's for another day. Today is sorting this mess out with you,"
Like what?
"Well, what do you want out of this. I have 2 options. 1 you stick with your mother, and you will be captured and taken to the wolfen realm by royal war general frost,"
Or "I de-rank you, as the alpha and your brother I can. Then you can if you want to live with our grandfather Mitchell . He lives at the golden oak spa in the human world and lives out a normal life , learns, study, grow up, "
You'd allow that?
"Yes, obviously, with a blood orth that's you'd never betray us. Think about it, and I come back tomorrow,"
Caspian walked out. "You'd be wise to take the offer." He said.
He turned to see Gilly. What's happening to you?
"I dont know he hasn't spoken to me yet. I think he's truly hurt by what I've done. Hara loves me and raised me as her own. I was wrong in doing this,"
It's too late now to be sorry. You joined in the destruction of his life. Was he that bad of a brother to you? he looked at Gilly.
"No, he wasn't. He was always they for him whenever I needed him. He's trained me over the years. He's been a good brother."
Then why?
"Because I found a letter from my birth mother that was never given to me, and I was going through a faze where I was trying to understand who I was and where I came from Cordeila caught me at bad moments and once I was in I couldn't get out without admitting it all,"
Why didn't you?
"I dont know ashamed, I guess, but I regret it. What's done is done. I will take my punishment. I deserve it."
What do you think he should do?
"Take the offer. Grandfather Mitchell is a good man. He will help you. He was nothing like dad. "
And that was?
"A womaniser that didn't care who he hurt. He was a good dad and Alpha from what Caspian said, but as a mate, a man is not so good. I don't want to be like him."
Troy never responded. He just sat and thought everything that's been said. Caspian returned and said his mother wanted to speak with him.
"I told her if she and the rouges surrender, you can go free?"
Free? Caspian nodded. Caspian handed him the phone. Hello mother?
"Hello, my son. I've missed you?"
What do you want, mother?
"Caspian has told me of the deal. Is it true?"
What do you care, mother? You lied to him his whole, and you don't even care. All you care about is revenge for something you did.
"I didn't lie. I just didn't correct you. "
Save him, don't save him, mother. He doesn't care. He's better off in this cell than being anywhere near you. He handed the phone back to Caspian, and then he went and sat down on the bed.
Caspian finished his conversation. He didn't care to listen to it. Caspian walked back to him. Are you really letting him go? or was your offer for real?
"It was for real. " Caspian smiled. "I've already spoken to my, well our grandfather he wants to help you as long as you accept the orth and take the punishment,"
The punishment?
"To be de-ranked to omega. Work as an omega. Work hard and work your way back up to deserving the responsibility of an alpha rank wolf. Can you do that. "
He didn't speak at first. If he doesn't?
"Then you will go to the wolfen kingdom for sentencing and punishment. The king will decide what happens. War general Curtis will take you, Cordeila, and the rouges."
What will happen to us?
"Well, you'll either go to prison, army, or death if he doesn't think you can be rehabilitated. A powerful seer will answer that for you. You won't get to decide," Curtis said.
Troy didn't see him enter the room.
"You have been given a gift, Troy. I'd take it. Because if it was me, you would be dead from betraying my family. You're family. My family now. You are only living now because my new son here and my daughter are allowing it." Curtis said
He will take the offer in return he doesn't die. He doesn't want to die.
"Good, well, it's settled. We will take in handcuffs to meet your mother. When your mother and the rouges have surrendered, you will be free. We are only taking you handcuffed due to the deal I just made for you to Cordeila. I'm not a liar and would like to stick to what's agreed upon even if she doesn't." Caspian said.
You know she won't stick to the plan. She is going to try and kill you. If not, someone else will
"Who?"
He doesn't know who he is. All he knows is that his name is Cole. He is helping Cordeila, but he doesn't know why or what he wants out of it.
"You've never seen him?" Curtis asked.
No, no one has just his mother. Cole stays hidden. He doesn't even know if that is his real name, just what Cordeila told him.
"Okay, well, let see if he appears. We have a plan in place. " Caspian said.
He hopes it works for your sake.
