"I don't see why you have to wash all your clothes with this stuff." My dad say looking at the bottle of scent block as though the label was writen in an alien language or something.

"You know why I have to use it." I dead pan as I fold the laundry that was just taken out of the dryer.

"Yes, but has it ever occurred to you that maybe you're making the wrong decision with this?" He asks as he sets the bottle on top the washer and looks at me. And I just sigh on response.

"I'm serious Tae! Mates are not something to hide from like this." Dad pauses before adding, "they're not all bad."

"You mean like how Namjoon and Jenny are to you" I scoff. "You should understand better then anyone why I go out of my way to cover it up." I shake my head as I take the bucket of folded clothes up to my older brother Beakhyun's room.

I hate fighting with him but I don't get how he is against this. He knows about my mates and he knows very well why I don't want to get involved.

"Taehyung, you can't just avoid them forever. Sooner or later your going to get caught and what are you going to tell then? How are you going to explain to a pissed of alpha and a heart broken omega that you have been hide from them for over 2 years?" Dad says following me down the hall and leaning on the door frame.

"Easy. I won't get caught." I say as I put the clothes into the dresser then turn the look at Dad.

He runs a hand down his face and sighs, something he does when he's stressed. "It doesn't work like that. They were pick specially for you and sooner or later fate it going to bite you in the ass." He says crossing his arms.

"Whatever, we need to start dinner if its going to be ready before they get home from whatever it is they are doing" I tell him as I walk out of the room and down to the kitchen.

*-----------*
The table is set and the food is done now all we have to do it clean up the kitchen and we're down for the night. Its only 7:30 which is perfect since I still have to take a shower and do my homework.

I finish wiping the counter and look over to dad who is holding out two plates of extra food from the meal since we don't usually eat with everyone else.

"Thanks, Dad," I mumble as I start to eat.

We didn't talk hardly at all while making dinner. Or rather since our little argument earlier.

He sits across from me on the island and sighs, "Tae, I know you don't agree with me, but please, think about it. I promise that you won't-"

"SEOKJIN! TAEHYUNG! GET IN HERE."
Comes the interrupting voice from the living room that has me flinching.

We hesitantly walk out of the kitchen to the main room of the house. Only to be met with the face that literally haunts my nightmares.

"I thought I told you two to vacume the carpet in the front hall!" Namjoon all but shouts at us, causing me to flinch and look down as Dad just stands there looking unphased.

"No, you told us to do all the laundry and put it away. I'm cleaning the down stairs tomorrow when the kids are at school and when they get back me and Taehyung are going to work on the garden." Dad tells the raging aphla who just glares at him.

Namjoon lets out a tense laugh, "you think I'll let you go to bed befor this is done? No. You're going to be a good little beta and have every room clean before you go to bed tonight and if I think its not good enough when I wake up then you'll redo it in the morning" he says before stomping off to the dinning room. Completely ignoring me which I am glad for.

Beakhyun following behind being to good little alpha son he is.

Then there's Jennie. God I hate this woman.

"Hello, Taehyung, how was school today?" She says with a sugar sweet voice that's makes me want to gag.

"It was fine mother." I mumble still looking down.

"That's Nice. Anyway, I saw you still have a 4.0 in school. I want you to know that me and your father are very proud of you." She say as she pats me head before leaving the room. Completely ignoring Dad as if he wasn't even there.

There is no way in hell Namjoon is proud of anything I've done.

Then there was Hoseok. My little brother and best friend.

He watches as Jennie leaves and once she's gone he rushes towards us and gives Dad a hug which has the man practically glowing with happiness dispite the way his mates just treated him.

"I'm so sorry they do this to you." He whispers into Dads shoulder.

He's less then a year younger then me and in the same grade since Namjoon couldn't fathom having a beta as a son and got Jenny pregnant as soon as he could to 'cover up the mistake' as he puts it.

"It's fine, Hoseok, I'm used to it." Dad just shrugs.

The young alpha recoils form the hug with a look of disbelief "you shouldn't have to be, Dad!" He exclaims.

"Shhhh!" me and Dad react the same but its no use.

"Hoseok!" Namjoon says from the door way, "Here. Now." He demands, and Hobi all but runs to the dining room. Leaving Joon glaring dangers into me and Dad, before looking soully at me.

"Shouldn't you be studing? Your grades are the only thing you have going for yourself, Beta." the mans seethes before leaving. And I feel like I can't move.

How dare he! I'll show him! Just let me out and he'll be begging-

Dad grabs me and takes me up to our shared room. I sit on the bed and stare at the floor. My mind completely blank. I always do this. I immediately shut down when ever Namjoon comes around.

"Go take a shower before you do your homework. I want you in bed by 11 tonight. Okay?" Dad asks while grabbing me clean clothes.

"Okay." I blankly say as I walk to bathroom across the hall.

What a happy fucking family, my wolf says as I close the door.
