Alpha Male : Damon [Alpha Series 1] {Completed}

Chapter 15

Italian words it equals to past memories ;)

Tulip jerks at once from her sitting position at the cry of her mother only to watch her father raising his hands on her mother who lies on the ground with a thud.

"It's your entire fault, you could not raise them better," her father shouts at their mother.

"Raise us better? It is as much as your responsibility to raise us, ironic is it not that every good thing that the kids achieve the credit goes to the father and for every failure, always blame the mother...

Just like your mother did not raise you better if only she had slapped you few times maybe you would have turned out to be a better husband and a father" Throne shouts at his father as he tries to help his mother to get up.

"Dad no" Tulip shouts at once as her father picks up the candle holder to strike her brother and Throne pushes his father away with all the force and the man goes tumbling down on the ground along with the weapon he was holding.

"Tutu, go upstairs" Throne orders his sister who shakes her head no.

"I said go to your room" he shouts as he walks away along with his mother who was crying uncontrollably.

*******

Tulip ignores her brother's order and slowly makes her way downstairs; she looks around at the damage made by her father and brother.

"Let me get those" one of their maid's whisper as she tries to pick up the broken plates.

"Are you okay?" she asks her father who was still holding the candleholder and sitting on the ground.

"Clean this shit, the Price will be arriving here soon" is all he says as he throws the thing in his hand away before walking towards his room in anger.

"You look beautiful" the same maid speaks from behind her and Tulip smiles in return.

"Thank you" she replies before she looks around not knowing what to do.

As she never knew how to act after every fight her brother and father had, she did not know whom she should go and soothe, her brooding brother, a drunken father, or her weeping mother who would just shut her up just like all of them do.

The ring of the bell startles her, as she knows Damon was back with his father to celebrate her birthday but she did not want to open the door to her home for him for the first time.

"Why are you standing there, go and open the door" her father's booming voice makes her jump and she is shocked to find that the man was standing behind her sober rather than getting drunk like all the other times after his fight with Throne.

Slowly making her way towards the door, she looks back once again to see if there was any sign of what occurred a few moments ago and with a smile, she opens the door to her future in-laws.

*******

"Where is Throne?" Damon asks once they all settle down and Tulip looks towards her mother who was happily playing the role of the perfect host.

"Oh he is in his room, he is not feeling so well," her mother informs them and Damon gets up from his seat.

"I will drag his ass out of his room," he announces.

"I am sure Tulip wants to see the rings Kathleen especially designed for them" her father voices, stopping Damon from walking away.

"Uh, yeah" she whispers staring in her lap.
