Royalty Pain

Chapter 3:

Ryans Pov....

"Mmoooooommmm!!!!"

My eyes flew open. I run to her bedroom to see Aurora on the ground lying down, hugging her knees to her chest with tears streaming out of her tightly closed eyes.

"Rory! Wake up!" I shake her, trying to wake her from her nightmare.

"Let go of me!!!" She screams and thrashes about. Streams of sweat cover her forehead as she shakes.

Not long after, dad and everyone come running into the room with panic and concern laced on their faces reflecting my own.

"Baby wake up!" Dad shouts with panic clear in his tone while holding Auroras face between his hands.

Her eyes snapped open and fear covered her face and quickly jumps up in a defensive stance not recognising who we were.

"Daddy!" She embraces her father as she realises who he was. She sobs on his shoulder while Ed whispers words into her ear to calm her down. My Brothers and I look at each other as we got the hint to leave. We got up and left, leaving Ed to comfort his daughter.

--------------

"Father, its getting worse" i sit done on the seat opposite my dad, forgetting the sleep i needed.

After putting Aurora back to sleep, he sits in his office staring at our family photo that sits on his table.

"I know son. I dont know what to do about it" my father says with a sadness.

"You have to tell her dad, its one week till her birthday and time is not on our side"

The 15th of June was Aurora's oncoming 'sweet sixteen', as she likes to call it.

He sighs in exhaustion, "I know son"

"Then do something about it!" I stand up and slam my fists onto the table. My wolf was coming out due to the thought of my father and i keeping secrets from my brothers and Aurora.

My father quickly stand up as his wolf was on the edge of coming out because of the lack of respect i was giving him. "You dont talk to me like that boy! I am your father and you will respect me! You think this is easy for me!?" My father yells.

"This isnt about you Ed! Its about her and if you arent going to tell her sooner or later, then I WILL!" I yell back in persistance.

Next thing i know, im up against the wall with my fathers hands on my neck and my legs dangling in the air. His eyes pitch black and i knew i crossed the line.

My father growls then speaks with danger clear in his words, "DONT YOU DARE!".

My wolf submits and i start to feel my nerves kicking in.

My brothers come running in pulling my dad away from me, "Dad stop!". He lets go and drops me to the floor. The darkness dissapears from his eyes and is replaced by regret, dissapointment and sadness. Regret for his actions, dissapointment at my behaviour and sadness for the future of his one and only daughter. He leaves the room leaving my brothers in a state of confusion.

"What was that about?" Chris says as he breaks the silent tension in the room. Everyone stares at me for answers.

"Nothing" I get up and dust myself off.

"Are you serious, i dont think that was nothing Ry" Derucce persisted.

"Stay out of this Druce!" I say as i walk out of the office, walking out to the forest. I strip out of my clothes with only my boxers on and shifted into my white wolf and ran.

Werewolves only have two different fur colours. The white wolves are the pure ones. The ones who havent tasted the blood of a human. Then there are the black wolves. The ones who have tasted the blood of a human and are found guilty with only death as the penalty. We are hidden in the human world by blending in and to not use our abilities on humans or around them. As for the Royal wolves with royal blood, like my family, we have much bigger white wolves with a birthmark of a crown on our ankles. The Royal Werewolf Family is the most respected and powerful wolves in the world. The royal family inherited the Lycan Bloodline, the first ever werewolves because it was passed down by many generations and tradition stuck where the son or Daughter of the current king can inherit the kingdom. My father controls everything that happens in the world of werewolves and it is his duty to keep his race safe.

I come across a lake and shift back to my human form. I put on my clothes that i stripped out of before i shifted. I walk up to the lake and stare at my reflection in the water. I lay back on the grass and look up to the stars and think about my mother, Aphrodite and how life would have been if she didnt leave us. I dont remember much about my real mother, Christina. I mean she died when i was 3 but i still love her. I thought about how much our life has changed and how we still managed to smile through everything and i thank my father for that. I knew that our happiness wouldnt last because things are changing and they will change soon, real soon.

Chris's Pov......

I follow Ryan into the forest and find him staring off into the night sky. I stand next to his lying figure and stare straight ahead into the forest.

"Its about Rora, isnt it?" Even though i knew the answer to my question, i still asked hoping he would change his answer.

He sighs and closes his eyes "yes".

I guess the word 'hope' was beginning to dissappear from my dictionary anytime soon. "But why?", I look down at him wanting answers.

He stands up with anger building up inside him. "Do we have to do this again? Why cant you just leave it alone?" He asks annoyed.

"What? I dont have the right to know? We are your brothers. What are you keeping from us Ryan?!" I say as i become angry.

"Its not about you so stay out of this!" He starts to walk away.

"Its always about HER!" He stops walking and turns to face me.

"Shes your little sister. Dont you love her chris?!"

"Of course i love her! Shes my baby sister. Its just that ever since mum died, all of dads attention has been on her. Its like he doesnt care about us anymore." I say, my voice getting quieter.

"Stop it Chris, stop. Of course dad loves us all and you know it! All hes ever done was care for us, he even gave up his kingdom for a few years just so we could be safe! So dont think he doesnt care for us, not even for one second" he exclaims

I grow fustrated, "Then why doesnt he bond with us more than he does with Rora? We are still his sons."

Ryan sighs in defeat, "He knows your his sons, of course he does but i cant give you the answer to your question, its not my place to. Chris look, just know that dad loves us all equally, trust me, he does" he says and walks back to the house.

I stand and stare off to where he walked off to. I knew what he said was true. I know our father loved us. All i ever wanted were our father and son moments, where i could tell him my problems and do things sons did with their fathers. Was that too much to ask for?
