The Beast within

Chapter 35 busted

Faith’s P.O.V

  It had been a few weeks since I last saw Jake or Casey and something was nagging at me, something felt wrong and it was as if Jake was avoiding me and his father, but why? What had he done that could be so bad that he needed to avoid us? I needed to get to the bottom of this and if Jake wasn't going to willingly talk to me and Lucas, then we would command him to talk to us.

  “Jake! OFFICE NOW! IF YOUR NOT HERE IN THREE MINUTES THEN YOUR NOT GOING TO LIKE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!” I said, mind-linking him. Lucas looked up at me after hearing the link and he knew that there was something wrong for me to command Jake like that, he could hear it in my voice and see it in my eyes. Not more than two minutes went by before Jake rushed into the room, looking from me to his father and he knew that there was something wrong and this wasn't going to be a good visit like all the others.

  Jakes P.O.V

  What the hell was I going to tell them? I still hadn't told them about Casey rejecting me or my new mate and what I did to Casey, they were going to kill me. I knew they were suspicious of not seeing Casey since the last visit and I had been avoiding them, trying to put off their questions for as long as possible, but it was no use and they knew something was wrong. 

  “So, are you going to tell us what's going on or do we need to ring Casey and find out the truth from her?” my mom asked, turning to look at me and I just shook my head. This was not going to go well at all.

  “You don't have to call Casey, I'll tell you what happened.” I replied, looking down at the floor. My dad slammed the lid of his laptop down and I could feel the anger coming off of him and spreading throughout the office.

  “What the hell did you do Jake? Great, just f*****g great, now I have to get a new laptop.” my dad growled, I knew not to anger my father, but with what I was about to tell them it would probably set both of them off, I thought to myself. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the chewing out I was probably going to get.

  “Mom, dad. Casey and I….well….she rejected me. It's not her fault though.” I said, trying to get it over and done with as quickly as possible. 

  “What do you mean….she rejected you? Why would she reject you? Did you accept it? What the hell happened? You two seemed so happy.” my mom said, bombarding me with the questions I knew she was going to ask, but how do I explain it to her without getting my head ripped off.

  “Well you see….I dropped Casey off at the pack house three weeks ago and on my back I stopped at Chick-Fil-A and had something to eat because I was hungry. That's when I found my other mate, we talked for hours and ended up going back to her house…..do I need to explain anymore?” I said, hoping they wouldn't make me go into detail, but judging by my dad's raised brow and angry look they were going to make me.

  “Yes son you do!” my dad replied, making me flinch back at the tone of his voice. I gulped and looked up at my mom and dad, not wanting to do this because it was just going to make them angrier.

  “We went back to her house and talked some more and then….one thing led to another….and we….we mated several times and marked each other.” I replied, avoiding their glares.

  “SERIOUSLY! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO HER?! SHE FELT YOU CHEATING! DO YOU REALISE HOW MUCH PAIN YOU PUT HER THROUGH BY DOING THAT?!” My mom screamed at me, I shook my head no, but I wasn't finished talking and if they thought that was the worst part then they were definitely going to kill me after this.

  “that's not all. Casey called me and I tried to put the blame on her because she let her second mate, Ryan mark her. Which is just another way of cheating as well.” I said, trying to defend myself, I looked up and they were both standing there with their mouths open, looking at me stunned. My mom walked over to me and slapped my face so hard that I thought I was going to be seeing stars.

  “NO! ITS NOT CHEATING! HE HAD TO MARK HER TO MAKE THE PAIN OF YOU BEING DISLOYAL STOP! YOU KNEW ABOUT HER SECOND MATE, didn't YOU?!” My mom screamed at me and I nodded yes.

  “DID SHE KNOW ABOUT YOURS?!” my mom asked me and I shook my head no, earning me another slap, but this time it was a lot harder and much more painful. My dad stood up from behind his desk, walked around it and stood in front of me, but the aura he was giving off was different and I know that he wasn't my dad right now, he was Alpha Lucas.

  “Jake, do you know the consequences of being unfaithful to your mate? You have three options, death, leave the pack and become a rogue or three months in the cells.” my dad said, I looked up to him and I was in shock. Was he being serious right now?

  “Dad, please no, don't do this.” I said, trying my best to stand tall in front of him.

  “I AM YOUR ALPHA! YOU WILL REJECT THAT b***h AND PICK YOUR PUNISHMENT OR I WILL PICK IT FOR YOU! NOW CALL HER!” My dad shouted, but he didn't use his alpha tone on me, which meant that he wanted me to do this of my own free will, so I couldn't say that he forced me later on, not that I would.
