Stark POV
I woke up to knocking on my bedroom door. I turned to my left and groaned. Who the f**k would be bothering me now? My father could care less if I was awake or even alive. He didn't care to see me unless anyone was here. Usually, he mindlinks me. He never comes to my room. So it must be.
"Brother, I will be leaving soon, so I want to go over something with you." Rowan barged in after two more knocks.
I sighed heavily, "What?" I asked because I know he wouldn't leave me alone. I also know that he still would tell me anyway.
He grinned, "I am going to take you to the city for the day. I already spoke to dad. I told him that Grandma made reservations for us to meet her at a restaurant and that she wanted to gift you and me. So, knowing dad, he would never go against grandma to give her any suspicion. And of course, he called Grandma to confirm and asked if what I had told him was true. She told him yes and that she hoped we were on our way. He told her we were. Knowing grandma, she'd lie for us." Rowan chuckled at his genius plan.
I, however, just grunted in response. I mean, it is a genius plan to get out of this forsaken house. I also didn't have the motivation to even leave from this pack house. Mostly because I do not like being stared at by pack members.
I had absolutely no motivation to go to this so-called fake dinner. What for? Why should I even go to the city? To be teased at the feeling of freedom and just come back here?
Sure, I could use this to run away, but my dad is insane, unhinged, and a control freak. He wants me dead. He tells me that once he decides to give up alpha title, he wants to kill me, so I would not be an abomination to his bloodline anymore. He said he would have shipped me to live with humans a long time ago and put a claim that I was dead in the werewolf world, but he can't stand the thought of me living freely. He also told me that if I ever escape, that he would find me and kill me and others who helped me escape. He then told me that I was only good for his reputation and appearance.
I am a coward, I know nothing of the outside world. I wouldn't even know how to survive on my own. So maybe. While I go with Rowan, maybe it is time that I learn of what is out there.
"Okay. Let me get dressed, I will be down in 2 minutes." I tell my younger brother who grins and gives a thumbs up and leaves my room with a happy skip.
Sometimes, I wish I was as happy as my kid brother. I don't even know that feeling. To be able to smile or laugh. My grandma doesn't like it when I do not smile or react to things that are supposed to be funny. Instead, she gets this sad look on her face and waves it off as the trauma of losing my mother. It's not. It's just that maybe I am dead inside. I am glad she doesn't know what really goes on. Saves her the heartache. I do love my grandma, I do want to see her, I just hate leaving the packhouse and give the spectators something to see me. A weak crippled Alpha's son in a wheelchair.
Honestly, I don't even know why I am even trying to survive. I guess I just hoped that one day, maybe my father would succeed in ending my life. Maybe I will be happier in the afterlife.
But, I guess I hang on because, I want to live with humans and take my grandma with me, so I can take care of her and maybe I hang on too because my brother needs me. So, I hang on for them, but if it comes to being close to death by my father, then I hope I go fast.
As soon as I was ready to go, I wheeled over to the door, but before I grabbed the door handle. My father comes walking in, his shoes making noise as he stomps his feet.
I wheeled my chair back to give him room to walk. I was genuinely surprised that he's actually in my room. My father turned and locked the door behind him, then he faced me, and I dropped my eyes to the floor at his feet.
He speaks low as I felt him pushing his alpha aura out on me, "You better know by now not to tell my mother about what goes on in my house. Do not expect her to rescue you, because she can't and if she tries, I will send others to take her out just like I did with my dad when he tried to take you from me." My father growled.
I would have gasped in shock or widened my eyes and looked at my father with a surprised expression on my face and questioned him more on it. But by now, I know better. I know I must keep my mouth shut at this new discovery. My father really is insane, to take out his own father. I would not want him to take grandma away from me. With everything in me, I did not react to what he had said.
"Also, please let your brother know that the school will be opening tomorrow, so when he gets back, he has to get ready to leave, he leaves tomorrow, I have transport ready for him. Tell him to come see me when you both get back here. Remember, Boy, no funny games. I will have my spies out." He doesn't wait for my reply. He walks right out, slamming the door behind him.
So, that is who killed Grandpa all those years ago. Father sent men after him, all because Grandpa had tried to take me from him. I was angry. I hate my father even more.
With determination now to keep that hidden and to also keep what goes on here hidden from my grandma so she could be safe. I headed out to meet my brother.
