Forbidden love

Part 12: Next in Line

Another pic of Damian as a wolf

"Boys get down here, we need to talk!"

          I groaned as I didn't want to get out of bed. I rolled over to see Aiden watching me.

"Aiden your a creep."

"Hehe come on get up, Jeremy called."

Aiden learned overtop of me and gave me a kiss. I kissed him back pushing him off of me.

"Lets go downstairs."

"The wolf is awake!"

He got out of bed and changed into a pair of white skinny jeans. Then he pulled out one of my shirts.

"Can I? Please!"

"So what we wear each others clothes now?"

After a minute of convincing, I gave in. He put on my pink t-shirt and smiled at me. I just smiled and then got dressed. I got dressed while he was in the bathroom doing whatever. I put on a black pair of skinny jeans. I had a few pairs I always went with. Either grey, black, or indigo jeans. Then I put on a black t-shirt and red flannel button up.

When we got downstairs everyone was waiting. Jeremy was sitting in his chair, annabella was sitting on the couch with chase. With the other nearby Alphas from surrounding packs were also there.

"What's, going on?"

"Damian sit down, I've made my decision for who will be the next alpha,"

"W-what do you mean, you'll still be here right?"

"Yes, damian just sit down."

          I walked in with Aiden following and the Alpha's immediately focused on him. I hope Jeremy informed the other alphas of a vampire in our house. One rule broken I guess. Me and Aiden sat down on the couch with Annabella. Then Jeremy looked directly at me.

"Its your turn son, im choosing you to replace me."

          My eyes filled with shock as I felt light headed. I wasnt ready for this, I couldnt lead this intire family on my own. I got up out of my seat with fear in my eye, maybe even panic.

"Please give me a moment, I need some fresh air! Ill be back."

          I dont even know how I managed to make it outside. I stubbled over my feet grabbing the railing. I seriously wasnt ready! I know I would love to have him only as my father again, but I couldnt imagine him taking orders from me. It didnt sit right. At all. I heard the door open and Jeremy and Aiden walked out. The sat down next to me with Jeremy hugging me.

"Everything is okay, I know you can do it."

I wanted to cry. I didnt want this.

"This is your role, im not ready for this. I cant lead!"

"Damian, Ive watched you grow up. I seen how you used to be with the kids at that playground. Dont you remember?"

          I knew what he meant. I would have those flashbacks everytime I went to that lake. I was just a kid though. I would always be the leader of my team and we would make two teams playing this, version, of tag. It was hell of a good time from what i could remember. I dont see how that proved that I could handle being the Alpha of a wolf pack.

"Im different from when I was a kid now! I have bigger things to worry about than being alpha!"

"I know, your mate is a vampire, but your family needs to always come first!"

"Well he is family to me!"

I ran off after that, leaving no room for anyone to say anything else. While I was running I stopped to transform. It was painful this time, like it was my first time all over again. I didnt care though, I was focused on getting away. Ive never felt more like a coward in my life. What else was I supposed to do, accept it and have more things to worry about. I already have to worry about if there is anyone else like Malachi that want to hunt me and Aiden down. The mear fact that my family and his support for us makes them a target as well. How do I handle that? I could barely handle Malachi, not even Jeremy could alone. Jeremy aside from chase is the strongest. Im supposed to be because im the Alphas son. You can imagine how thats going. I feel hopeless, all over again ill want this to end. Just when I thought I could be happy after all these damn years. Like that could happen, im not human.

So I just kept running, the brown fur would help me blend in the dark better than being a human. I got to the lake and stopped running. Ill sit here and relax, gain my strength, then ill be off...

Aiden pov..

"Are we gonna go after him? Its getting dark and he isnt back yet!"

"Go get Annabella, tell her and the other alphas that Damian is missing!"

I ran back inside the house. After I told them about Damian two of the Alphas walked up to me.

"Alex and I wont help in the search. We dont agree with this relationship you have with one of our own. Good luck."

"So that is what a great alpha does then right! Abandon one of its kind simply because fate made him different in the slightest way! I didnt mean to screw everything up! I dont care how you feel about me, but dont give up on Damian! After all he is the next Alpha, and will be your partner for the next years!"

"Say what you want, your opinion doesnt matter."

The too Alphas walked out the door. When it shut my knees felt weak and I fell to the ground. On my knees I couldnt help but to cry. Why do things like this happen! Its so fucked up!

"Dont worry Aiden, will find him."

I looked up to see the third Alpha kneeling in front of me. Alphas werent supposed to kneel before anyone, even if the other person was already down.

"Why are you here, Dont your rules state never to lower yourself to an enemy?"

"You are not my enemy. Damian is one of my kind, I didnt agree with it at first. After you showed that you truly cared, I had a change of thought."

"So you will help?"

"Ill do more than that, ill head back and get my pack to help. Just waite till then."

"Thank you!"

He stood up reaching out his hand. I stood up and shook his hand. I never thought id live to see two species, that are pre destined to hate each other, working together for the same goal. I didnt know, or what to feel. I was happy because we had support, which increases our chances of finding Damian. Yet I was sad because I wanted him here, his family needed him...
