The Unwanted Mate

Chapter 10: A Horrible Stroll In The Woods

We just are sitting in silence. Joey was staring off into space my dad was staring at Joey and my mom looking at me. What was Kade thinking when he banished my brother? Did he think that by doing that he was going to be able to make me like him? Now all I want to do is strangle him and let him know how it feels.

"Will I'm going to pack." Joey says standing up.

"Wait Joey, maybe I can convince Kade to take it back!"

"I think you could Aubrey and that is why he is sending his Beta to take me away." Joey snaps back at me.

I slump back into the couch feeling completely defeated. I had lost control of the situation and as I consequence I lost my brother. Joey had every right to be mad at me; I should have just told dad when it all started.

"Will I am going to pack my clothes as well." My mom says wiping away her tears and putting on her strong face.

"Mom you are not going with me." Joey says.

"You must think I am crazy if I am going to just let my soon go off by his self!"

"Mom I am going to be fine. Just think of this as the getaway Aubrey and I had planned when we were kids. Remember the day we turn 18 we were going to leave the pack and go on an adventure around the world. I am just getting a good 2 month head start." Joey says while he hugs my mom.

My eyes grow large at the mention of the plan we had come up with just a few years ago. It was supposed the time for Joey and me to find ourselves. My mother said us going on a trip would be the chance for us to switch from childhood to Adulthood.

"But when we talked about this you guys were going to come back. Not stay away forever." My mom says trying to hold back her tears but I can still hear it in her voice.

I cannot take this anymore. I get up from my spot on the floor and make a dash to my room. I close the door behind and make my over to my window seat. I collapse down on the seat as the tears began to fall. Why couldn't I just tell my dad from the beginning? Why do I have to be such a good kid and please my parents?

Now look where that got me. Not even a month into it and I am losing my brother. Joey was literally and figuratively my other half. Everything we did, we did together and now he leaving and it is my entire fault.

I should have done more to stop Kade. I should just have agreed to live with him. Even though I still think Joey would have argued that as well. And just to make this whole situation better my dad now knows how I truly feel about Kade. Yup my life I can't get any worse. My door opens and Joey walks in.

"I'm so sorry for snapping at you all of this isn't your fault." Joey takes the seat the next to me.

"Joey you don't understand, yes it is. If I would have just listened to Kade and went with him we wouldn't have this problem. All I had to do was be a good kid and listen to him but I couldn't even do that!" I say fighting back the tears.

"Listen to me, none of this your fault Aubrey! If we are going to put the blame on anybody put it on that stick up his ass Alpha. You did nothing wrong and nobody is mad at you." I wipe away the tears.

"But you are leaving now and I can't do anything about it. This will be the first birthday we won't be together."

"Aubrey I am going to be fine and as for our birthday I bought you something." Joey pulls out a small square box.

I snatch it from his hands and pull rip open the package. Inside the box is gold outline mickey-mouse pendent.

"Wow Joey I love it! Help me put it on." I turn around and Joey clips it on.
