_I am home

I yelled as I got home, I threw my bag aside and put the keys on the table looking around

Well, this is strange, I am not used to this silence. I slowly advanced, but a strange smell stopped me

There is a stranger in the house. I walked quietly to the living room. The closer I got, the more the smell grew stronger

As my parents are there too I closed my eyes thinking how comforting this smell is

I opened the door to the room and walked in, turning my gaze between my parents and Max, who was sitting on the sofa across from me

I raised my eyebrows confused at the look they're giving me. I looked back at mom and noticed tears in her eyes.

_What's going on mom ! Why are you crying ?

She looked at me, examining my features. I frowned when her sobs increased, and as I was about to speak again , I heard a voice behind me, so I turned quickly.

_alpha

I saw a man , the same age of my father , i tried to think if I saw him before but I couldn't

This the first time I see this man but I felt comfortable toward him , it's like I already know him

he bent down lightly which made me turn my gaze to my father, then brought it back to the man

_My father is no longer an alpha, he stepped down a long time ago

My eyes widened in horror as I finished my sentence and I turned to my father and asked him

_Did something happen to my uncle, is he okay?

My dad bowed his head and didn't answer me, I turned to Max to talk to him, but that man cut me off again

_alpha

I turned to him angrily

_I said he is not an alpha,

He bent his head and raised it, fixing his gaze on me

_I meant you alpha

I looked in confusion and turned to look behind me and both sides and then I looked back at him

_Who are you talking to?

When I asked that , my father straightened up

_Let us tell her about it Matthew , Max will take you to the guest room while we talk

I watched Max and that guy go out and I still didn't understand what was going on

I felt my father approaching me , he gently held my hand and directed me to the sofa.

_ Enough Elisa, you know she was bound to know

My mother got up angrily, screaming

_She's my daughter, Marcus, and no one will change that

I tighten my hands, looked at my toes and tears gather in my eyes, I felt my heart squeeze in pain at what she said but I refused to believe the under meaning of it ,

I just didn't understand her right and what she said meant something else I must have done a bad thing and she's defending me

Yes, that's it. I closed my eyes when my dad set next to me. He reached out and pulled my hand to hold it between his palms

_Before I met your mother I was a reckless son. The pack did not beleive that I would become a good alpha one day ,My father was getting harsh in his treatment day after day so he could controll me But I didn't care I wanted to be free from responsibilities .My father used to prefer this person

I watch the smile appear in my father's lips while he looked like he was remembering those days

_ Albert the son of the Alpha of Black pack and I hated him without knowing him ,until I met him one day and challenged him to a duel , I wanted to beat him so bad and to break this person that my father prefered more than me but Do you know what he did ?

I slowly raised my eyes and shook my head, my father lightly continued as he tightened his hold more

_ He told me he accepts the challenge, but not a duel, it is boring, so let's make it a challenge who will be the best alpha for the best pack and he left since that day everything changed. I worked hard and did everything i could to acheive that , it was a hard and long way but in the end i did it and I became the alpha that my father wanted me to be and than I met elisa after few years

He stoped for few seconds taking a deep breath and I didn't have it in me to ask him to continue so I waited patiently

_ one day in a meeting i met Albert again with his mate beside him I remember that day well because it was the day our friendship began and he was the only true friend I had and I considered him as a brother to me , our friendship lasted for years and I was there when he had his first baby , a princess that we all loved and took care of

He stopped, looking down and I noticed tears gathering in his eyes, I don't know why but my heart started hurting so much

_ One day some problems happened in his pack between him and hid beta Tom so he expelled him from the pack and we thought nothing from it but one night there was this attack by the rogers and it wasn't like any other attack , the rogers knew every place in the pack and where the patrols are so they reached the pack houses easily and by the time we reached it was too late , they rogers killed most of the members and we saved just few of them , Albert and his mate were one of those who died that night

Tears fell from my eyes, I put my other hand over my mouth, blocking my gasps from going out as I watched my fathers tears falling

_ He died right in my arms and I never felt a pain like that before not even when my father died and I couldn't do anything

He took a deep breath and his feature changed from sad to furious in seconds

_We found out that Tom was after that attack , he was the one who told the rogers everything about the pack because he wanted the revenge and God how much I wanted to find him and make him suffer , make him wish and crave for the comfort of the death but he won't have it but we never found him

I held my breath when my father looked in my eyes smiling softly

_I was this close to lose my mind and I was in no state to lead a pack so I stepped down and beside I couldn't stand leading a pack with whoever brought me to that was gone , my life went from perfect to hell and even the presence of my mate couldn't help me to feel beter exept for one little girl , a princess

I let out a gasp and closed my eyes in pain

_you were my sun in the darkness , a piece from my brother and his mate but I saw you as a piece from me

He pulled me into his arms and I cried like I've never cried before

My parents are a lie

My life is A lie

Everything was a lie

I looked at my mother

I don't even know if I should call her mom anymore, I slowly walked away from my dad

I moved my eyes between them and the tape of my life passes between my eyes,

God everything thing I lived between them wasn't meant to be

I don't even know who I am anymore

I watched the women I knew as my mother stand trying to reach for me but I raised my hand preventing her from coming closer to me

I just need to think this through

I slowly took some steps back whispering

_I n- need some time

As soon as I finished I run out of the room heading to my room

I shut the door behind me and stood there thinking of everything and nothing at the same time

I didn't see this coming at all

All the thought passed my mind , my family, my childhood, my adolescence, the pack , friends. I mean, this was not my life. I would have been somewhere else among other people. I would not have known Max Bella Uncle

I looked around me and stoped when I saw my reflection in the mirror

I sighed, closed my eyes, and let those tears I held back down.

Do I look like my mother or my father? Who had these golden eyes? The red hair ?

Was my mother as cute as my current mother? How was my father ! letting go of a painful sob as I threw myself on the bed turning to my right side, hugging myself like a baby , as I always do when I am sad

I cried for their loss, I cried for not being able to know them , talk to them , hug them

I cried for everything before I felt myself drift to sleep
