My seven werewolf daddies

Chapter 3: Silas

Silas p.o.v.

" Silas..."

I smiled at Dimitri as he ran towards me, his tiny shoes splashed the mud water as he ran on the wet ground, stretching his arms up for me.

" My little warrior.", I ruffled his jet-black hair and picked him up, frowning at his feather-like weight.

Dimitri is too fragile for a fourteen-year-old kid. Perhaps I should make him eat more healthy food instead of giving him candies and ice cream whenever he wants.

" Zeus is still sad. I can't help him, Silas.", he muttered lowly, gesturing towards his younger sibling, who still hadn't looked at me. And that's strange. He was sitting near the fountain, his brows pressed together.

" Hmm, he is pouting at the ants instead of running to me,", I tilted my head, strolling towards the fountain, " Let's see what's bothering our baby brother, ye?"

" Yes, I don't want him sad."

I sighed at his words. Dimitri got his wolf last year when he turned thirteen, so now he has this weird obsession with always protecting Zeus because now he thinks he is strong. Which is wrong. Dimitri and Zeus they both are kids and it's my responsibility to always kept them safe. And currently, I am failing at it.

" Technically, we are failing at it. Our brothers should..."

I shoved my wolf back in my mind when he was about to start that same argument again. I can take care of everything, I don't need my twins' help. They both can just f**k themselves in that attic. I don't care. Sebastian and Souvenir, I really don't care about what they do as long as they stay far f*****g away from Zeus and Dimitri.

My eyes stared at the twinkling grey eyes of Dimitri...his innocent face, without that anger, ruthlessness, loath...guilt. I want it to remain like this. I thought as I hugged him tightly and stopped in front of Zeus.

This time it will be different. This time my twins will not destroy everything...they can't. I will not let them.

Shaking the gloomy thoughts of our useless past, I put Dimitri down on the white marble wall of the fountain.

My eyes stared down at our brother, he still hadn't looked at me. " Hey, Zeus.", I touched his chin and tilted his head up, " Why are you sad, kiddo..."

His bottom lips curled up as he tried to stop his fallen tears, big water eyes blinking up at me, " Eve... Evelyn..."

I grit my teeth, hearing her name, " What about her?"

I swear one day, I will kill that girl...Fuck, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. What the hell I was thinking? She is just a child, but still, I am tired of her. That little human always brings trouble for my brothers. She stole, she lied and one day I even caught her selling drugs, obviously, her parents must have made her do that, they really are big assholes.

Sometimes I do feel bad for that kid but still, if I could, I would have never let Zeus and Dimitri befriend a human. But now, it's too late, Zeus is too attached to Evelyn. She is a bad influence though.

" Her parents killed themselves.", Zeus mumbled lowly.

I looked at Dimitri to confirm, he nodded his head. Well s**t. I really am a bad person I think, because the first thing that came to my mind was that her parents can't force her to sell drugs now, which means less trouble for Evelyn, and eventually lesser stress for my brothers.

They always get worried for that girl, and that made them sad. And I don't want my kid brothers sad so...I watched as Zeus wiped the tears from his chubby cheeks, ugh, I am so selfish. Perhaps I should at least feel a little bad hearing that an eight-year-old child lost their parents. I really should, but I am not feeling anything.

There are no emotions left inside of me, I thought as I watched the sad faces of my younger siblings, at least they are not dead like me. They still feel something. I want them to remain like this. And for that, I will do anything.

" You know, she was locked in that house for days..."

" For days...with them inside it?", I interrupted Dimitri, gaping at his tiny face.

He nodded his head, " When her neighbor smelled the bodies, they reported, and then the cops found Evelyn there."

" Shit..."

That is a f****d up thing for a child to experience, locked inside a house with your parents' dead bodies. What was going on inside that girl's mind? Why didn't she asked someone's help?

" Maybe she hadn't had anyone else to ask, like us..."

I again ignored my wolf. Not every troubled child is like us...and our case was different, too different.

" I...I told everyone, something must be wrong she hadn't come to school...", Zeus hiccuped between his words, " But Drakon and Eren didn't take me to her house and they didn't let me go alone either."

I gave him a sympathetic smile, and pecked his forehead, " It was not your fault, Zeus..."

It was ours.

Eren and Drakon were just doing their work. It will take three years for Zeus to get his wolf, until then he is too weak to stay outside alone. Other Alphas want him for themselves, to make him their Beta. They think he will grow up to be like us, faster, stronger, deadlier. And they are right.

But what they didn't know is that it's not some blessing... It's a curse, which I think I just found a cure for. I thought as I watched my little brother yearning and crying as if he lost his soul, but he just lost Evelyn, a mere human...I could feel his strong emotions, too strong.

Maybe this time everything will be different.

" I want Evelyn in this house.", Dimitri suddenly exclaimed, wrapping his arms around my muscle like some insect.

Zeus was the next, his tiny body launched on me, I almost lost my balance as he curled himself on my other hand.

" We both want...she has nowhere else to go, foster service will take her away from us.", He peered up at me, no tears in his eyes, blue eyes shining brightly at my face. I know where this is going...they tricked me!

" Please...Silas."

" Please, we will do anything."

I looked at Dimitri, grey eyes practically throwing stars at me, I peeked at Zeus...his blue eyes were like some marble, shining brightly, compelling me to give him everything he wants.

" Please, let Evelyn stay with us."

These little shits. They knew I can never say no to them, and when they asked like this...dangling over me with these puppy dog eyes...ugh, they took advantage of my love. I can do anything for my brothers. And the worst thing is they knew it.

" Plea..."

" FINE!", I shouted, taking a deep sigh as they finally slipped down from my hand, now they are laughing, and giving each other high five. Great, all those tears and sad face was just drama to convince me, wasn't it?

How can I forget they are Eren's brothers too, so they also have his evil, manipulating blood?!

" Let me talk to Souvenir about this first, okay?", I said, looking down at their happy faces. Souvenir is our eldest sibling, my twin, and the Alpha of this pack, we can't do anything without his permission. However, it's just a formality. I always trick him to do what I want anyway, just like these little shits just tricked me today. I sighed. Karma.

" I have to convince him somehow."

I shook my head, trying to bite back my smile as they jumped excitedly. Their laugh is the only sound I want to hear all day.

Grasping their hands, I gave them a pointed look, " Don't get too excited, I'm not promising anything.", I said and walked towards the door with them following me like good kids. Only I knew what a brat they are!

The house was silent as usual as we ambled inside it, darkness, eating every corner of it...but I don't have to see to know that Eren and Drakon are sitting here in the living room. I can feel my brothers from anywhere, light or no light, it doesn't matter.

Dimitri and Zeus ran toward the open kitchen after turning on the lights, white marble floor shinned at the orange glow of the lamp. For a second it looks like I was walking on fire, because of the way floor glimmered at the orangish-yellow glow.

I stopped, feeling eyes on my back, and turned around. Drakon's dark eyes were staring right through me. He heard. He knew what I am planning...again. But I knew he won't say anything. He never says anything.

His eyes shifted back to Eren, who was unaware or should I say, unbothered by my existence. The feeling is mutual though. Eren was sitting at his usual place on the couch and just staring at the ceiling with his black hoody covering his half-face. Like always, we don't need words to explain our hatred. We can feel it...that anger in our veins. That disgust...I gulped and looked away.

There is no need to think about those same haunted memories again and again, it will do nothing but give pain...and I already have enough pain to endure. I can't suffer more than I already am.

So...even though there are lots of unsettling emotions between us and unanswered questions I need to reply. I should reply. But still, I turned around and left, leaving Drakon and Eren alone, lost in their misery. They had already drowned, there is no saving them.

But I can still save Zeus. And I will.
