Find Me!

The Old House

We arrived at the pack house... Something felt strange, it just didn't feel like a house anymore. I stopped at the stairs, trying to listen on the conversation inside. They were fighting again.. somethings never change.

"No wonder our son left,  your a monster, how did I ever get a Mate so heartless!"

Mom. Still the same as ever. She always defended me, protected me, kept me safe, that was until I ran away.

"Well, now I know where our son got his disobedience from!" My disobedience?! since when was that disobedience!

"Disobedience!? That's what you called disobedience! Our son was just a child and you beat him." At least I am not the only one...

"He needed to be strong, but obviously he wasn't if he ran away." Still the same father, expecting nothing but perfection..

"He deserved better than you!" Mom, I am here.

I nod to Alex. He steps up an knocks on the door. I wait for my so called father to answer the door. But, instead.. My mom.

Her eyes go wide and fill with tears. She whispers my name. I nod to her holding my head high, she runs up to me and hugs me. She became so frail, her hair thinned and she got skinnier. "Mother." I smooth her hair, "I am here to see father." And just like that the moment was gone. She looks up at me with sheer horror. "You.. you.. can't Daniel. He will surely go crazy."

"I am prepared for that.." At least that was what I was telling myself.

She nods and wipes away her tears. She leads me inside where my father is waiting.

"Who is it Darling?" My father turns around, seeing me his run away, no good Alpha son. "Father." I nod. He sits down in his chair staring me down, taking in how i've changed. "Daniel, I.. I am so happy to see you." Liar. "The feeling is mutual father." i try to sound as proper as possible knowing that if I slip up, I wont be here much longer.

I take in how my father has changed as well, his face sadly unshaven, and his hair growing white... Look who's the incapable Alpha now. I sit in the chair across from him, "I came here to ask you something..Sir."

his expression changes from shock to curiosity. "And what might that be..Son." The way he said my name, it sounded foreign.

"I found my mate-"

"Well that's wonderful news." Was that a smile? Was my father just proud of me?

"Yes, well.. the only problem is," His eyebrows raise, probably wondering what I did. "She's missing, and she has been for two months now. I didn't find out she was my mate till' about a week ago. And I want to find her. But, I need help..." He looks like he is deep in thought. My mind is wondering whether or not he will actually help... "Well, that is sad news. But," And here it goes. A lecture? A punishment? "I will gladly help." I rise from my seat "You will?!" I am almost amazed by how willing my father is right now. I wonder how bad a state he is in.

"Yes, I will on one condition."

"What?" There is always a catch with my father.

"That you become the Alpha, like you were supposed to be." He knew it, my weakness. I didn't want to be Alpha and I never did. But, if this is the only way to get Isealia back..

"Fine, it's a deal." And with that I shake his hand. What have I just agreed to.

"I will speak with you in the morning son for the details, but, did you want to stay the night here? It has been quiet a long day by the looks of it." Was he trying to be nice to me? What happened while I was gone..?
