RAVEN
Brother?
I couldn’t focus on Dad. I was confused, what brother?
“…useless, unwanted… Just leave, I don’t want to see you here
I looked at Mom, who looked upset but I didn’t know what to make of it..
“What brother?” I asked.
“Like you need to know.” Dad spat.
So, he wasn’t going to discuss it, fine.
“Ok… Don’t tell me. I’m out.” I said, grabbing the first of my two suitcases and carrying them out. Dad picked up the next two and tossed them out.
I heard something break, and with it, it felt like something inside of me was breaking.
Mom just stood there whilst Dad was just raging with anger.
“I never knew I had a brother… and clearly you guys don’t want to tell me so fine. But I do want to say one thing before I g 0… You said you lost your son because of me… I’m sorry for that, even though I have no idea what I have done, but I hope
you do realise you are also losing the only child you do have.” I said quietly.
They were my parents at the end of the day, but I wondered, was there really not even one ounce of love in them for me?
“That won’t be much of a loss.” Dad spat, grabbing a few more of my items and throwing them out of the door. I moved out of the way just in time or I would have been hit by one of the suitcases. 2
“What the fuck?” A cold, dangerous voice spoke.
My heart thudded when I felt the huge aura behind me. His scent hit me hard, but more than that, the anger in his voice terrified me. Clearly not only me, Dad looked like he had just seen a ghost.
“A-alpha Liam…”
“What the hell is happening?” Liam asked, his voice menacing, stepping forward as he looked at the bags strewn across the front yard.
“Raven’s apparently leaving, aren’t you?” Dad said, his voice not even holding an ounce of venom.
“Tomorrow, I was going to leave tomorrow but Dad decided to throw me out a day early.” I shot back icily.
“Care to explain, Mr Jacobs,” Liam asked, his voice was so cold that I shivered.
His anger was something I was still not used to.
“It’s late, I am going to bed.” Dad turned away.
Until a menacing growl ripped through Liam’s chest.
“I am your Alpha. Don’t you dare turn your back on me.”
Before I could even comprehend, he was before Dad in a flash, one hand around his throat as he slammed him up against the wall. :
Mom screamed and my hand clamped over my mouth.
“I… I’m sorry, but this was between my daughter and-”
Funny he should call me daughter now…
“Liam, leave him.” I said quietly.
He wasn’t worth it, neither was this entire thing. I didn’t want others to come out of their houses for the drama.
Liam’s hold tightened until I walked over to him, tugging at his jacket.
“Leave him, help me?” I asked quietly, motioning to the luggage.
His eyes that were burning a deep magnetic blue glared at Dad one final time before he shoved him to the ground roughly.
“This isn’t over.” He said and something told me he wouldn’t drop it, not until he had gotten to the bottom of it.
He turned to me, his eyes dipping to my legs before he looked away and grabbed a few of the bags. Wow, how much can he carry? Ok, I think we’d be able to manage alone. I grabbed what I could as Liam picked up the final one, walking off towards the packhouse without another word.
‘Go be a whore.’ Dad’s final words came through the link. –
I won’t react, I’ll just walk away, like I always do…
When will I stop and actually speak up?
“Here’s the room… I’m next door.” Liam said curtly, making m y heart hammer. He looked down at me, raising an eyebrow. “I t wasn’t planned.”,
I said, looking inside the room. Boy, did this room need a personal touch. Well, fear not, I had plenty of stickers, plushies and posters to decorate this place! “If you want anything done, I’ll get the boys to do it tomorrow. “Liam said, his husky, sexy voice making my stomach flutter. I glanced at him to see him leaning against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest, his jacket straining against his huge, bulky muscles and his intense gaze burning into me. “I can do everything myself.” I said, slipping my hands into the back pockets of my shorts as I swivelled around on my heel and stared around at the white wall. “I’ll get someone to get some black paint…” “Who said I like black?” I asked lightly, despite how my heart was thumping He raised an eyebrow. “Don’t you? Black and purple are your favourite colours, aren’t they?”, “Mmm…” I said, trying not to look at him, why was it so stuffy in here? His eyes were burning into me. “I’ll go get
