The Alphas Son

Chapter 27

I have thought about what Jonah said all day. I couldn't get the idea of him feeling like his best friend is abandoning him. I wasn't ready for another child; I needed to make sure we were safe and okay before bringing another kid into this life. Especially with it being Elias child, this kid would be different instead of just a wolf; he would also be part vampire. I didn't know how to feel about it all yet.

He and Sam left with Jane and Emily to the park. I needed to talk to Matthew, and without Elias here to stop me, I could. I needed answers; I didn't believe that he knew nothing about my birth father. He was Julius', right-hand man. I walked to the cells; I honestly didn't even know we had any down here, not until Elias told me about it. I was stopped by one of Elias' guards. 

"I'm sorry, but you are not allowed in here." He said.

"I want to see the prisoner, Elias gave me permission," I told him. he didn't look convinced. 

"Without his word, I can't let you in here." He said. I sighed. Reluctantly, I called Elias. He answered quickly. I asked him politely if I could see Matthew. He fought me on it but then gave up. He told me to hand the phone over to the guard, and I could tell it was a serious conversation. He handed me my phone back. Elias told me that the guard would be with me inside in case anything happened. I agreed and turned off the phone. It was time for me to face my biggest demon again.

Walking in, I could see that all of the other cells were empty. The biggest one was the one Matthew was in. Slowly, I walked to him, I told the guard to wait at the entrance, and that I would yell if I needed anything. 

"So you finally came to see me," Matt said. I wasn't as close to him, so I was confused as to how he knew I was there. Then I remembered wolves had a keen sense of smell. I walked into the light.

"Look, I need answers, and you seem to be the only person who can give them to me," I said. 

"Okay fine. What do you want to know first," he said.

"Who is my father?" I asked him he smiled.

"I don't think so, how about we go with smaller questions before the biggest one? " He said. I was annoyed but played along.

"Fine, did you ever love me?" I asked, playing his stupid game.

"Of course, when we were younger sure, but then you just got annoying, and I moved on to bigger better options." He said. I held back my anger.

"Do you love your son? Or was it all a ploy to get us close to Julius?" I asked. Something in his eyes changed when I mentioned Jonah.

"I do love my son. I've wanted to see him ever since I found out about him. Holding him was the best part. I loved how he would call me dad. It made me feel good. As for Julius, I didn't know his plan, until after I found the two of you." He said.

"But it didn't make you stop him from taking us now, did it? You could have warned us about him, and we would have been prepared, but instead, you didn't." 

"I'm sorry, but I had my life to think about. I had just died, and I saw what was waiting for me. I never want to go back there." He said.

"You mean hell? It's where you belong; you do deserve to be back there." I said to him, the anger slipping out.

"I wanted my life back, and I don't regret how I got it. I won't take judgment from you, because you would do the same if given the option." He said. 

"No, I wouldn't, because I'm not you. I'm not selfish. I would rather stay dead than come back and live like you are." I said.

"Well, I guess that's what makes us so different." He said. 

"Tell me what I want to know, I'm done with your stupid games," I said.

"No. I'm taking that secret to my grave. I don't care if I go to hell again. I'll die happy knowing you will never know the truth." He said. 

"Tell me!" I yelled, getting angry. 

"I'd rather die." He said, laughing.

"Then I guess you'll die,"  I said, suddenly, he fell to the floor holding his head and yelling.  I didn't know what was happening, but it felt great seeing him in pain. 

"Stop! Please! I'll tell you, Just stop." He said. Suddenly it stopped. I got my senses back. 

"What happened?" I asked him. He looked at me, confused.

"You don't even know you do it, do you?" He asked

"Do what? What happened." I asked him.

"Your anger is the trigger. It consumes you, and it takes over." He said.

'What takes over?" I asked, confused even more about what had just happened.

"Your witch side. You're not just part wolf, your also half witch. Your mother was with someone else before your father. Julius killed him before your father came along. He didn't know your mother was pregnant with you when he brought your father in, they fell in love, and then your mother announced she was pregnant with you. Julius didn't find out about your other side until after you were gone. Your wolf side is dominant, but by the looks of it, your witch side is taking over. Your anger is heightened, and it ignites your powers. You're more powerful than you thought, you just haven't tapped into it." He said.

"No, I'm a wolf; I can't be a witch. I can't be a hybrid. It means that if I'm a hybrid, my son.." I said 

"Jonah is also a hybrid." I heard a voice say behind us. It was Elias. 

"Wait, you knew?" I asked him. He nodded.

"Of course he knew, he beat it out of me. He's known for weeks." Matthew said smugly.

"Look, Olivia, I wanted to tell you, but I just didn't know how." He tried to explain. My anger came back up.

"You knew for weeks, and that's your excuse? You didn't know how to tell me. You could have just told me, and we could have figured it out together, but instead, you kept it a secret for yourself." I said. 

"Liv, calm down, the angrier you get, the more unstable you are." He said.

"I do not want to calm down. So don't tell me to calm down." I said. After the last words, a massive energy pulse came from my body and sent anyone in its path flying. Mathew hit the wall and was knocked unconscious. Elias was knocked into one of the cells, but he got back up. 

"Please calm down; we don't know how unstable your power is." He said, but  I just kept seeing red. Again I sent an energy pulse, but this time when I hit Elias, I also hit someone else. I heard a little scream, and instantly, I stopped. When I looked up, I saw Jonah; he was unconscious and bleeding from his head. He hit it on the wall. Instantly I calmed down and ran to him — Elias right behind me.

"Elias, he's not breathing!" I yelled, picking him up.  He came up to me. "No, no, no. What did I do? What did I do?" I said to him.

"Come on; we need to get him to the hospital. We still have time." He said, grabbing him from my hands. We rushed over to the hospital. They took him quickly to intensive care. I broke down when they took him away. I was the cause of this; I might have just killed my son. Elias caught me as I fell to my knees. I couldn't stop crying.  I had my baby's blood all over my clothes, and seeing it just made me cry more.  What if he wasn't okay? I would never forgive myself.
