Finally, updating TB. I'm getting busier with my finals around the corner and with assignments that is being dumped on me every single class. So, I'm not going to be updating soon but I'll try my best.
And lastly, ENJOY :)

'Shhh..Baby. It's not that we hate you. It's complicate and-' Mom spoke while her old hands stroked my back to calm me down. I looked at her and waited for her to finish the sentence but her eyes showed confusion.
She finally snapped out from zoning out and gave me her sweet smile as if everything was fine. But it wasn't, I was so depressed when my own blood ignored and left me.
'Everything is going to be okay and I'm going to make sure it stays that way but the reason behind this will finally be surfaced when the time comes. Meanwhile, lets have dinner as a family. Tom please join us. You are most welcome to and I won't tolerate a 'no' even from an alpha. Lycan dear, where is your father? I warned him if he does not show up, I'll personally drag him here.' mom sighed deeply and stand up beside me.
'Lily, let's eat. I have missed you. I don't want us to be further apart any longer. It pains me to see my baby away from me. Ben's leaving. Rose a stone away and now you.' She said while putting her hand out.
I stared at her. How can she dismissed the only one question that has always been bugging me. Why did they do what they did when we were at our old pack? What was the reason behind it? When is the time that is suitable for me to know?
I took her hand and she pulled me up. For an old lady, she sure is strong. 'Mom, when is the right time? Why is it so important for you all to keep it a secret that made you abandon your own daughter? What is more important than your own child?' I whisper-yelled the last part as I was choking back tears.
I had enough of this drama. First my family ignores me and then my mate rejects me (well I did but that was because he wished for). Now, my parents are saying that they abandon me because of some big mysterious secret. Well, I had enough with this bullshit and I want answers. I deserve to know. They at least owe me an explanation or explanationS if they want to apologize for what they did.
'Lily!' Ben gave me a stern look. I glared back and never breaking it. I wanted them to know how serious and important this is to me.
'Ben, calmed down. Lily, we will have this talk another time and that time is not now. But I will promise you that I will never let what happened at the old pack, happen again. That's why, Rose thought it would be a better idea if we move to another pack. So we can have the old family life back. I want this to work again. You and the family. We are deeply and regretfully sorry on what we did to you. But I, we realized what a family meant when-' Dad spoke and ended mid sentence. He looked at mom and he showed the most devastated face I have ever seen. Mom nod and gave him an ensuring smile. The type of smile that can make you feel warm inside and gave you the courage to continue even though it may hurt others or yourself.
'Your mom. She's been diagnosed with cancer and it's the last stage.' Dad finished and he was looking down; defeated by the news. My eyes began to water again and I could hear Rose sniffing while Ben was covering his face in mom's neck.
I felt my knees going weak and before I know it, I fell down but was never meeting the floor as a pair of strong hands hold me. Even though, I wasn't looking at who the hands belongs to but I knew it was Tom's. He spun me around and hugged me dearly. I cried and hit his hard chest to release the anger of why my life was in pit of darkness. He hushed me and kissed the top of my head.
