Forbidden Love

Chapter Twelve

Cairo

I stare blankly out the window, trying hard to ignore the shouting between Mom and Dad..Dad.

Just calling him that made me want to throw up or gag. From the stories Skylar and I have read, fathers are always nice. When the guy cheats, the couple always gets back together. But, I don't want my Mom and Dad to get back together. I never had a close relationship with him anyway so it wouldn't make much of a difference whether or not he was in the cabin.

"I want you out!" I hear Mom scream, followed by the sound of a smack.

I'm pretty sure that Dad just admitted that he wasn't very...faithful. It disappoints me if anything. Was Mom not enough? Was I not enough? I wonder how he could do this to Mom. But all these questions weren't anything compared to the main one running through my mind.
Why stay with us?

My parents started dating fresh out of college, and had me only a few years later. My Mom is 44 and so is my Dad, though he was a couple of months older.

But, that's not the point. Why lead us on? Why stay with us, with me, for seventeen years, only to be the most unfaithful father in history?

Why pretend to love us, care for us, risk anything for us, only to cheat God knows how many times.

"Muri, please, give me one more chance," he begs, and I huff. He had no right to call Mom Muri right now.

"Just leave! Leave, " she screams, and I imagine her light skin, dark red from her anger.

"Fine! But you will need me and I won't come back," he says snarkily, right before I hear a door open and close. Instantly, the cabin is filled with silence.

Skylar

One wolf with a dark grey pelt lunged at Ryder. Another wolf lunged, both attacking at his sides.

The other two wolves remain across from us, along with the two men in human form.

I am frozen in shock and fear. I might deny it in the future, but I do want to stay here and make sure Ryder doesn't get hurt, though he looks fine right now. I know he's killed packs with more than three hundred men, but he's not invincible, and there is a chance he can get hurt.

But the rational part of me is screaming at me to run. Run screaming like a wimp, Ryder can take care of himself. He's a werewolf after all.

Suddenly, I hear the sound of bones cracking, and see Ryder bang the wolves heads against each other.

"No," the blonde man screams, his eyes shifting black. His eyes seem to burn into mine and it seems like I can't move. My body is immobilized from fear.

The sound of paws against the ground break me from my reverie and I turn to look at the wolves behind me. Somehow, I just just knew they were Ethan and Alec.

Ethan's fur was auburn, and he had white on the tips of his ears. His wolf made Blondie's seem incredibly small.

Alec's wolf was a little bigger than Ethan's and was a dark orange. His eyes seem to glare into mine as he trots over to Ryder.

"I will kill you," Blondie roars, leaping and shifting mid-air.

I watch as he lands just a few feet away from Ryder, who was standing protectively in front of me.

Ethan growls and stands next to me, and Alec stands next to Ryder. It was almost like a semi-circle.

"You killed my brother, now I kill your mate," Blondie growls, and I shiver.
