The Lunar Alpha

Chapter 19

Derek's POV

"Can someone tell me?" I looked at the stunned faces.

"How do you know?" Were the only words escaped through mom's mouth.

So Mom knows Veronica as well? I silently looked at dad waiting for an explanation. Every passing second is just giving a strong point from Verna. Was my dad really that bad?

"She was the pack's top warrior" Dad finally spoke.

"And what did you have with her?" I failed to question properly.

"D-did you guys have -?" I stuttered silently hoping dad would say no and prove me that Verna was wrong.

But his silence said it all.

"This is insane!" I muttered and walked away from there.

I just can't believe dad did this! He was someone I thought would never make a mistake. But he just..! I'm at a loss for words.

How could he do this when he clearly knows she is not his mate.! Is there anything more heartless than this? Well, no! Because maybe my dad didn't have a heart then.

"Derek! It's not like what you're thinking" Mom walked into my room.

I sat on my bed silently staring at the floor.

"Will you listen?" Her voice held demand and I did that in an instant.

"You asked about Veronica didn't you? Well, let me tell you. She was a power hungry wench that tried to lure your dad so she could be the Luna to the most powerful pack.! He did learn from his mistakes!!! He proved to me that he is worthy before mating with me. He isn't made the King that easily Derek!" Her every word was so stern.

And still, I couldn't believe it. She lured.. fine. Then where did dad's common sense fly to when he knows she isn't his mate?

"Aren't you his mate, Mom?" I asked her.

"I am! Why do you even ask that?" She scoffed.

"Then how were you able to tolerate all that? Knowing that your mate cheated on you, probably even more than that. How ,mom?" My voice cracked at the end.

I couldn't help but hug her. I didn't even want to listen to what she went through because of my dad who can't keep that in his pants.

"Derek... You are getting the whole thing in the wrong way" she tried to convince me.

What else could she do? It's her husband after all. She has to talk on his side. On the other hand, her mate is somewhere in his office probably not even giving a flying f**k if he needs to give an explanation or not.

"Don't mom! Just don't!!" I whispered.

"Would you just listen?" She forcefully pulled away.

I saw anger in her eyes.

"Just listen!" She paused with gritted teeth, "If you have at least some matter in your brains, think and then speak. When I say you are taking it wrong , I mean it!!"

"Ok! Just tell me mom. When did you and Dad get mated? Before he knows you are a Lunar Wolf?" I asked her.

"No. But -"

"That's it mom. I'm not listening to the bullshit of him again" I cut her off.

And then, I earned another slap from my mom. In a few minutes' gap, I got slapped by both my parents. Well.. what a turn of events!

"Leave me alone" was all I said before I walked out of my room.

I ran to the clearing and didn't bother thinking twice before I let Abel free. He roared so Beasty and sprinted into the woods while I sat and watched his aggression.

But this aggression is something so out of him. He is usually not this way. The sky roared as he started running at faster pace.

"If this isn't for the Karma, I would have kicked your butt already" Abel said.

"Karma? And is it wrong to react when you knew your whole inspiration was just a fat ass lie?" I questioned him back.

"Forget it!" He said and before I responded, for the first time in days I got my wolf.. he blocked me.

I wanted to talk to Verna. I wanted to know more about this Veronica just to know more about my dad. Was that why she felt emotional when she first saw me?

After hours and hours of long run Abel stopped and I was beyond shook about his capacity. Not even once did he slow down his pace or let his guard down. No wonder he is the strongest wolf out there.

We sat at the pack's stream and I stared at the reflection. A grey wolf with golden eyes was staring back at me. I was so mesmerized about Abel's eyes. They are the most beautiful wolf eyes I've known.

After a little relaxing session Abel gave me the control and I shifted. I took the spare clothes from under the tree and dressed myself since I ripped my previous ones.

The walk back home was so bad with just me, my thoughts and hatred towards my dad.

By the time I walked in there was no one in the living room. I sighed and walked to my room. I took my phone and left home again. I don't want to face any of these people. I texted the one person I wanted to.

Derek : How do you know about Veronica?

Verna : She is my sister.

Just then, a thunder roared in the sky with dark clouds. I pretty much knew that's because of me.

"Derek! Are you alright? What's with the weather?" Mom mindlinked

I just had to move my walls up and close the mindlink.

I was proud about being the Lunar wolf with sky and Earth as limits. But now I hate my powers. I feel it's my curse that is letting everyone know how I am and what I feel. My Alpha King title party is just a month away.

Till then, all I need to do is keep myself busy with practice. Know the issues of pack by interacting with them directly and bury myself with supernatural creature documents.

I have to face my father during practices but I also have to tolerate him. I don't know if I can call him as father from here on but I'm not sure if I'll forgive for what he made mom go through in the past.

All I want is for him to just leave so I can be happy with mom and Abigail. We would be better off without him. He didn’t love my mother that easily. He mated with her only because he knew she was a Lunar Wolf. No wonder he hates Lana because she is a human with no strength.

Verna : Seems like you finally knew the truth.

I couldn't even reply to that text. Yes, I finally knew what kind of man my dad was. And what kind of a man he is by separating me from my best friend. I finally knew the truth.

Is this how you feel when you were told your whole life was a lie? That you were made only because your father needs a strong pup. That your whole role model and inspiration was just a lie?

A raindrop rolled down my cheek., Followed by many. That's when my tears decided to go unknown. And I let them roll down as well.
