You Know Me Now

A Trophy Father's Trophy Son

                   Lana's POV

    At my packs territory, woman were not held at the accustomed 'woman and children must hide so they don't get hurt' normal pack thing. At my old pack, the SilverFox pack, if you were above the age of twelve and knew how to fight you did it.

      The only way to get out of fighting was to be a new mother or have a job that required you to be in office all day and miss pack meetings and training. Will and you would have to be a child of course. I just happened to have one of those jobs.

       At the age of fifteen, when you are officially able to work in human years, you get a job in the pack based on what you are really good at doing. You get tested on your criteria and, depending on what it is, you either get to fight more or get out of it altogether. My criteria just so happened top be for organization, money, and math.

   From that point on, I was sentenced to live a life counting up checks and organizing filling cabinets. I was only trained once a year, making sure that I still knew how to throw a punch.

                My father tried to get my job changed, to a fighting job like his, but realized that was more my brothers calling than mine. Because of the huge job gap, my father, brother and I grew farther and farther apart, not bothering to even care about each others presence. I don't think that it was the separation from my father that hurt me; I wasn't my father's biggest fan anyway, but the separation from my brother that hurt me the most.

       

        Aaron was the world worst brother at protecting me. He was really great at goofing off, and just acting like a fool. He made me feel better about myself and he helped me realize my fighter potential.

         When we were younger, he would tuck me in and kiss my forehead, taking the place of my father for me, considering he spent more time with Matt than I did.

          Aaron became like my parent. My mother was nowhere to be found, and honestly, I couldn't find myself to care less. I had Aaron, and Aaron was the only person that I needed.

      He taught me how to brush my teeth and how to fix my hair; though I must admit the hair almost never looked good. He showed me how to talk to people and even showed me how to make friends. Not that I ever made any, but still.

         I can still remember when I realized that Aaron was the rock that allowed me to stand. He was like the oxygen that I needed to breath to get on with my day. I learnt how to cook and clean, just hopeful to make my brother happy and repay all of the happiness that he had given to me.

          (13 Years Ago)

    "Papa!" A small four year old me yelled happily at my father's retreating figure. At the time, Matt was at least involved a little in my upbringing, and I knew who he was, even though he still wasn't around much.

            "Papa?" I ask. I started to frown at the broad soldiers that had started a steady jog away from me. I remember starting to cry as the one person that was supposed to love me ran away.

I didn't know what a mate was at the time, so I thought he was the only person who was supposed to love me. I thought that because I didn't have my mom, my dad was all that I would ever have.

    My brother pulled me to his small chest, trying to console my frantic crying. "It's ok Lana. It's ok pinkie. Aaron's here, daddy's just being a big meanie." He repeated over and over, trying to console me, only halfway having it work.

     "But, Blubber, why is daddy so mean to me! What did I do?" I cry out to him, only to have him shake his head and say to me, "I don't think daddy means to be mean, he is just sad,I think."

     Shaking my head, I reply to him, "I only need Blubber." He smiled at me and nodded his head in a way that meant, then you will always have Blubber.

      Little did I know at the time that this would be a lie.

Don't you just want to beat Matt? I know I do.

   I know you guys wanted some Rin in that chapter, but I felt that it was right just putting in a filler of some of Lana's pack history and why she is the way she is.

    I don't know, I'm thinking that maybe I should just have a Rin POV for the next Chapter, but what do you guys think? I'm really not sure what to do on the chapters, I just really want them to meet already, but we both know that I would never spoil the next Chapter for you guys!

         Anyway, the song for this chapter was written by Sleeping With Sirens. I really like them.

      I don't want to be in a one sided relationship with my readers, so to show me you love me, you need to vote, share, fan, and comment. I also like messages!

Bring me the love! :-*
