NovelBookChapter 0367 "What has Auntie Alora got to do with this?" Jace was the one to ask the question swirling around my head.
"I have a younger half brother, his nis Than Sable and he is the Alpha of the Amber Desert pack." Dad turns to us but keeps his reassuring hands on Mum. "An Alpha?" My voice repeats.
"I created the Dark Phantom pack when my position as Alpha of the Amber Desert pack was denied to me. The Alpha position going to Than." "Why?" Jaxon's eyebrows knit together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"My father and step mother made the decision..." "Step mother? Why are we only hearing about this now?" Dad never really talked about his childhood, and to think of it, neither did Mum. They never spoke of our grandparents, I just assumed they died when both our parents were young adults. "Because we felt it best to let the past stay buried, as it were." Dad sighs out, a hand moving to pinch at the bridge of his nose.
"But you would have been the first born of the alpha?" This didn't make sense, the first born was always alpha. Even in the case of Jaxon and Jace. If there wasn't the Clear Waters pack for Jace to lead, he would be Jaxon's beta.
"My mother was a human..." Dad's words leave a silence hanging within the air around us. His aura was withdrawn, low. He was opening his soul to us, his wolf also willing to do so and not fighting him.
"What?" Knox mutters the word that I seem too shocked to say for myself.
"Your mother was a human?" Knox's asks, as my brothers and I stare dumbfounded at Dad. A human? Dad is half human, half werewolf....
"Yes, and it was felt as a hybrid I wouldn't have been fit to rule." "But you're the most powerful alpha alive today." Knox states astonished by the news just as I am. Knox was right, if there was a King of Alphas, then Dad would possess that title.
"Only because I have my mate by my side, she brings out the best of me." "As much as I'd like to take credit for your hard work darling, this pack was already succeeding long before I arrived." Mum smiles proudly at Dad.
"So why don't we know him, your brother?" Jace presses.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"This stays within the family vault...I mean it. No talking to anyone, no mentioning things to even Alora or Ezra. You have questions, you cto us." Mum wasn't a strict parent, that's not to say we got away with things, but when she put her mind to it...like now...so could be formidable. A force I particularly wouldn't want to go up against. Then you remember that she was an Alpha in her own right, that she wasn't just a Luna...but a leader too. A leader that could easily beckon warriors to fight her cause.
"I can go..." Knox moves to leave but I reach for him, pulling him closer to me. We haven't had a moment to ourselves yet since I shifted, and I could sense the need buzzing through the mate bond for him to be alone with me.
"You are our daughter's mate Knox, you are family." Dad declares, his eyes falling upon Knox before landing on me. Yes, Knox was my mate, and is a member of this family now....if that is what he truly wants.
"Before I met your Father I was married..." Mum sighs out, her voice indicating that this wasn't a happy memory for her. That it pained her to share this with us.
"Married?" I gasp, my voice cracking in the back of my throat. Mum was married? Yet she wouldn't marry ed? Yet she Dad even though he asks her a number of times a year....for as long as I can remember.
"You were married?" Jaxon stands up, the news seemingly rattling e! him just like myself. "Yes, to Than."
