Every little, broken piece (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1 - Unedited

Fear.

That's all I felt.

Fear for my brother. Fear for my health. And mostly fear for my life.

But let me explain the situation first...

My name's Chloe Adams. I'm currently 17 years old. Education was never an option and I'm staying at home most of the time. My older brother Matthew did go to school. Our father made him teach me what he learned, so I could stay at home and cook and clean the house. Matthew is 3 years older than me and was more of a father figure than my actual father. He was the only one who ever cared for me and still does. Sometimes I wonder how he manages to do all the things he does. When I was little I thought he was my guardian angel. I still do. But things change. People change. I changed. I grew and as I did I discovered why he took care of me. It wasn't willingly. More of forced. He needed to take care of me because noone else did. I love him for all he did. And I know he loves me back. Our bond is strong. We're not just siblings. Of course we fight. But he can't stay mad at me for long. Neither can I at him. He's my brother and my best friend.

Anyway, that's my background. Now, how I ended up in the situation I'm currently in.

It's thursday afternoon and I went grocerie-shopping with Matt. Our daily routine. Wake up, cook breakfast for Jacob, clean the livingroom and the kitchen and then go to mine and Matt's room. We stay there and just talk for a while. Jacob's somewhere out and enjoying himself. Probably doing 'alpha business', meaning doing some female of our pack. Then at 2 p.m. Matt and I leave for shopping. We're coming back at 2.45 at latest. After that it depends on the mood of Jacob what's about to happeen next. If he had a good day we don't need to be 'thought a lesson', as he nicely puts it. But that doesn't happen often. The more likely scenario is that he comes and gets either my brother or I. We need to follow him. If we don't our 'punishment' will be harder.

Oh, you're probably wondering what a pack and alpha is. And who Jacob is. Well let me explain.

Jacob is my so called 'father'. I'm referring to him as Jacob because I don't like to call him father. A father needs to be there for his children and protect them. Not beat them until they're unconciouss and treat them like shit. Father is a title which you need to earn. He's the sperm donor for Matt and I. Nothing more. Nothing less. My mother died while she gave birth to me. That's probably the reason why he hates me so much. He thinks I destroyed his life and that I killed the love of his life.

Matt often tells me stories of things he barely remembers. Things he did with my, our mother. How our father was like. He tells me this things and speaks with love and adoration for our her. I wish I could have known her. At least for the three years my brother did. I will always envy him for that. For the time he had with her. For the time our father was what a father should be. For the time he had a good childhood. And I feel terribly sorry for his loss. And also I feel like I'm the real reason for his pain. If I weren't born he wouldn't have to endure all the things he does now. Most days I can live with the tiny little voice in the back of my head, which tells me that it's all my fault. But other days, the worse ones, I can barely look him in the eye. He of course reassures me that it's not my fault and helps me deal with my insecurities. But this little voice will always stay in my mind and will refill the sorrows and the trouble I have to believe what my brother desparetly tries to tell me.

Ok now, what is a pack? And what's an alpha?

A pack is the community of werewolfs. There are more than just one pack and it's like one big family. Our pack though, is not like a family. Then there's the alpha. He's the leader of the pack and if a pack member has an issue he comes to the alpha. My father was one of the good alphas. The emphasis is on WAS. I was told by my brother that he was always there for his pack and dealt with everything thrown his way. Now he's just a merciless predator. Everyday he fucks another female of our pack. He doesn't care if they have a mate or a family. All he cares for is himself and if his needs are fullfilled. He abuses his children and let others do it too. He doesn't care about the pack nor his children nor his reputation. Everywhere he's known as 'Jacob the predator'. I'm sure other packs tell their children about him as the bad guy. The one, they need to fear. The one, they hopefully never meet. And I pray for them that they never have to meet him.

OK, now how i got in the situation I'm in.

My brother and I came home. Everything was fine. He wasn't home yet and we put the groceries in the fridge and put them away. Just when we were done and about to head upstairs into our room, Jacob came bursting through the door and reeked of alcohol. He surely was drinking. My brother told me to go upstairs, that he'll handle Jacob and that I should wait for him in our room. As I was about to go up I felt a rough hand grab my wrist and spin me around.

"Where do you think you are going?" Jacob snarled at me and roughly yanked me back towards my brother, who in return growled lowly at our so called father. He in return laughed.

"What's gotten up your ass, son? Are yo tryin' to defend that little brat over there?" He pointed at me and I shrinked away at his insult.

You think I should've get used to the insulting by now, right? Well, I am but it just isn't helping the situation at the moment.

I knew that today Jacob has one of thee bad days. I can sense that. Call it intuition or whatever but I always know when he's having one of THESE days.

But what happend next, I could have never imagined.

Hey reader :)

That's my second story here on wattpad and I haven't finished the first one yet. But I just wanted to start writing this story. I had the idea floating around in my mind for a few months now, and I decided to put the other story on hold because I'm not quite happy with how it is now. Maybe I'll go on with it after some time but I'll concentrate on this story til then.

I hope you'll enjoy it and keep reading.

Also idk when the next chappie will be up but I'll try to make it asap.

The girl in the picture is how I imagine Chloe to look like :)

Also don't forget to leave a vote or a comment if you want to support me and help me improve my writing skills. I would love to know what you think so far and if I should keep writing.
