CHAPTER 17

Chapter 17: guilty with truth

- Eren Dusk - P.O.V

after Jack people took Adrian. I told him I wasn't in the mood for anything right now. I was tired and I had that stingy feeling of guilt that I let my mate get hurt. I was hurt. I felt frustrated and I just want to rest.

I reach the pack house but I don't get out of my car. my mate was looked up and I did nothing to stop it. I didn't want to feel that pull. I didn't want to feel the need to protect him call him mine and make sure nobody hurt him. but I did feel like that and not acting on my instinct made me want to punch myself. cures it!

I get out of the car after I don't know how long and I wish I hadn't. I thought I would walk to my room in peace but I find my brother in front of me.

"what do you want Liam?" I ask grumpy and not in the mood for kids. I am never in the mood for kids really. I wonder if Adrian like kids?

"when are you going back to worrier training. you're birthday vocation went to long. I am sick of getting beaten up. I need you to be beaten up with me" and an evil smile stretched on his face with the last part.

" worriers tend to work out every day but normal pack members every weekend. my dad thought it would be best if me and my little brother trained every day too. we don't have a problem with it. but a sexy female high heels lover and a little boy are nothing compared to worriers.

"tomorrow" I simply say. I don't want to talk. I don't want to do anything.

"do you want ice cream and jellybeans?" my brother ask in a shy tone.

he was the best little brother ever. whenever any of us get sad or hurt we go to my room and eat ice cream and jellybeans. over time we didn't need to tell each other that we were sad. we just knew. I started the this tradition for my big brother.

a smile creep into my face and make him smile in return. "sure. I'll get the ice cream. you go ahead" he nod and leave. I followe.

my big brother Link came home once with a stomachache and it was the middle of the night. it was summer vacation and I was awake when I asked him if he got injured and he laughed saying ' my friend gave me ice cream and jellybeans so I would cheer up. I guess he really wanted to shut me up and send me home! ' why did you need to cheer up? I asked and he said ' I didn't perform as good as he did on the job! he must have a secret for being so good. probably the poker face' he then nod to himself and kept on saying how good is he and stuff ans so I left. and that is why ice cream and jellybeans is what we eat to cheer up.

*******

I was in my room with Liam when the door swung open making me jump. it was Violet.

"Eden what have you done!" I broke a girls eyeliner because to spare her the trouble of putting it. she would look ugly anyway. I don't think that what she was asking about thought.

I just look at her rising an eyebrow.

"your dad is calling for you and seems angry" she looked pale and in a rush "come on!"

did he learn about me getting attacked? about the lily? about my brother killer?

thoughts raced in my head as i followed Violet to the Alfa's office. she bust the doors open and enter ahead of me. "I brought Eren Alfa"

I enter and find two people aside from my parents and Violet's parents. they were the two girls from the café. i hesitate for a moment before I fully walk in the office.

"you let a pack member go to another packs prison?. how could you?" oh hell no! you are not blaming all of this on me.

"she is the one who disrespected her Alfa! he is the one who offered to take the blame. shouldn't his 'girlfriend' stop him?" I spat every word especially the 'girlfriend' word. I look at the girls while saying that and if look could smash her brain to let it drain out of this 'girlfriend' skull. it would. she looked like she wanted to say something but too scared.

"oh Eren, your dad just wanted to know why didn't you tell us early? but anyway we want you to call jack and ask him to let Adrian continue his punishment her"

"what? why should I. you call his alfa" I hissed

my dad growled. I shrank a little in my place "stop acting like we are all against you! just relax"

will that didn't relax me. it helped with a breakdown " relax? relax?. I'm tired and frustrated! I just got attacked by a rouge and saw my brother murderer! I didn't sleep a wink so sorry if I wasn't in the mood to deal with the teenage drama in the café!" the words all came out of my mouth before I stop the and I see my dad standing up. and there were a lot of gaaps and shocked expropriations.

"WHAT?"

I think I went pale by the Alfa's voice. "i wanted to tell you after university but with what happened in the café i forgot. then I.... um lime wanted ice cream and jellybeans and.." I rant until the beta stops me

" Eren, we just want to know what happened"

I give a nervous glance at my mom who give me a nod to go on.

"I went to a late night run. I didn't even go far into the woods. maybe just 15 minutes away from the pack house. I saw a rouge and he looked surprised by me. like he was focused on something else and not me. and I didn't notice him. he didn't have a sent, I think it was thin and not that detectable. when he found me he attack and I do the same. we go at it for a while until a lily shows up. and this is the weird part. the lily fought with the rouge but didn't kill him. he even let him run and when I tried to follow. he kept on getting in my way. i think when he thought that I couldn't track the rouge anymore he went poof" I ended with moving my hands to look like smoke

the room went silent.

after what seemed like years my dad spoke " Alex, you and your friend should go for now"

the girls stood up and bowed before leaving. wait.. my dad know Adrian's girlfriend?

"Eren, sweetheart. set and tell us how they looked like"

I didn't move "umm the lily wore a mask. like last time" I looked on the ground for a while then went to set on the chair in front of mother.
