Chapter Twenty Three- Meat

Peyton's POV

I knocked, lightly, on my brother's door, my stomach turning and flipping. I was just going to talk to my brother, my own family so why was I so nervous?

"What?" he growled once he had opened the door. And just like Amelia had said, there was a huge claw mark on his cheek, the skin around it a bright red. I could tell he was in pain by the way he would cringe every time his mouth moved or by the way his hand would subconsciously rub the wound. 

"Can I come in?" I asked as I played with my own hands. There was a slight breeze on my arm as Amelia waited patiently against the wall, her every breath brushing against my skin. Her presence wasn't helping the anxiety I was feeling. 

"Fine but leave it outside," he replied and it took me awhile to realize he was talking about Amelia. She growled beside me and I quickly shut her up with a nudge of my elbow. Matthew moved from the door after that. 

"I'm going to get you for that," my mate said as she held me back, her mouth dangerously close to my neck as her body warmth heated me from behind. Gulping, I pulled away and followed Matthew inside, closing the door behind me. I could hear Amelia grumbling something but I ignored her.

"Did you come here to punish me, too?" He asked while he took his spot on his bed and began reading a random book that was on his pillow. 

"I came to talk to you- as my brother, not my Beta." I took a seat next to him, my legs pulled close to my chest with my chin resting on my knees. 

"If you want to talk about my love for you then don't. I know what you're going to say and I'm not in the mood to hear it."

"You don't know what I'm going to say."

"You're going to tell me it's disgusting," he paused to look at me with wide eyes, "and that I'm disgusting." It was quiet for a moment as I thought over what he just said. 

"I don't find you disgusting." He scoffed as if he didn't believe me but I had to make sure he knew I was serious. "I'm serious. Incest isn't an unheard of thing and as a fellow werewolf, it would be weird for me to think it was disgusting. Do you know how many twin mates we have in the werewolf community?"

"But that's twins and they're mates." He turned his face away, his cheeks now a bright red that matched his neck and ears. "I know I sound stupid because you have a mate and you can't simply leave her."

"That's what I came to talk to you about. Amelia is my mate, Matthew, and you're right, I can't leave her. Our souls are bound together."

"I know."

"I love you, Matthew, which will never change, just not the way you want me to."

"I know."

"Your position as a Beta will be restored and I brought Amelia to remove your wound." He looked back at me with hopeful eyes.

"I know I made a mistake and I apologize for it. You should make me an Omega for what I did.

"Yeah, we really should," Amelia stated as she entered the room, her jaw tight. We both glanced back at her and the tension in the room grew. "But I forgive you."

"Thank you, Alpha," Matthew replied but I could tell that he wasn't entirely sincere with his thanks. He stared at her with a slight bit of anger but also appreciation for the mercy. "I will never disrespect you again. I promise." He moved to bow at her feet, one of his arms resting on his bent knee as he stared at the ground. Her lips curled into a confident smirk.

"We actually have an important task for you, Matt," I stated as he rose to his feet. He returned to the bed to sit on the edge and Amelia continued to lean against the door frame. "We have an event we need to go to and we want you to come with us, along with a few more wolves. River will stay here to watch the home in case something happens."

Matthew stood and nodded with understanding, a new look of hope in his eyes. I knew that he was still upset about our previous conversation but he was glad that his position was restored.

But without warning, Amelia grabbed Matthew by the front of his neck and dragged him backwards, tilting his head so she could get a better view of his face. "Hey, what are you doing?!" Matthew screamed as he struggled in her grip but Amelia remained calm and determined, a look of irritation in her eyes.

With a quick flick of her tongue, she licked the wound on his face and the claw mark immediately began to close up until there was no trace of it. She eventually let him go and he stumbled forward, his eyes wide as he stared at my mate.

"I'm leaving now," she stated monotonously before walking out of the room, her hands stuffed in her pockets.

"I don't even know why we came to this stupid event," Amelia grumbled as we walked closer. A few feet ahead of us was a large, rocky cave, the opening completely dark, not a single amount of light. It made me nervous but I continued to walk forward nonetheless.

"Because he scares me and I don't want to decline his invitation," I responded as I glanced over my shoulder at the other wolves that were here to protect us.

"Yes, that makes sense. Let's go to the creepy cave of the creepy man that scares us." I hit her in the arm and she smiled in response. "I refuse to stay here for more than 2 hours so make it snappy."

"Yes ma'am." And with that, we entered the cave, a couple of wolves entering in before us. There didn't seem to be any light at first but there were actually small lights inside, illuminating a small percent of the darkness.

There were many hallways and rooms in the cave but I couldn't see much because shortly after we were met by a group of rogue wolves. They sniffed around us before howling, probably signaling for back up.

More wolves came out, followed by an actual man who was dressed nicely in a suit. He reminded me of Valdez and I figured he was his son. "You must Alpha Peyton and Amelia," the man stated with a crooked smile.

Amelia replied with a yes and the man's smile spread wider. "This way," he stated before allowing us to follow him and his wolves down a wide hall until we came across another opening. We had to duck in order to get in.

Inside was a larger room, about the size of a ballroom, full of rogue wolves who seemed to be having a good time. There were rock slabs covered in raw meat that smelled freshly killed.

Seeing how they lived reminded me of how we were supposed to live, how we were supposed to be but instead, I threw myself into the human world and culture and I was no longer like these wolves. In a way, it amazed me how much different and alike we were.

"Ah, welcome! I've been awaiting your arrival!" Valdez exclaimed but I could hardly focus on him when the smell of fresh meat was captivating my senses. My wolf was slowly taking over as it wished to sink it's teeth into the food, to taste the salty blood and meat. 

Valdez seemed to notice where my attention was and he stepped aside, a devious smile also on his face before he said, "Go ahead. There's enough food for every one." 

River's POV

I was sitting patiently outside of the house as I played cards with one of my friends, Troy. He had orange hair and wild brown eyes but he always seemed to have a smile on his face. "Your turn," he stated as he set one of his cards on top of the pile. 

I glanced down at the cards in my hand before choosing one to put down. My hand was reaching to lay it down when a smell hit my nose, a smell I knew too well. 

But they attacked before I could warn anyone. They were rogue wolves, there was no doubt about that but they were prepared as if this had been a planned attack. There were more than usual and we were missing a small few of our pack since they were with the Alphas. 

We had figured they would attack them there but no one had thought they would attack us at home. I growled before shifting and charging forward into the mass of wolves. I had to protect my Alpha's home and my pack because that was my order and I didn't disobey orders. 

I howled to the moon, hoping that Amelia would hear me and come running back. We were all in danger.
