I stood frozen beside Theon, staring at my father. He was easily the biggest man I have ever known with biceps twice as big as my own and he was tall like a Norse Viking "How did you get in. Dad?"
My father raised a scarred brow and softly caressed his full beard which was now having streaks of white in it. "Aren't you happy to see your father?"
His voice sounded sincere but his eyes said otherwise.
"You didn't answer my question, father."
My f father's face changed faster than a sunny day with stormy skies. "I am your Alpha and King! And you will honor me as
both!
both!" Theon shoved his hands in his pockets and c***d his head. His face is every bit as blank as a paper. "If you had wanted me to hold your to the standards of your position," he said, walking to our nearest curtain, "then you would have given us the respect of letting you in instead of breaking in yourself and invading every corner with your men,"
With that said. Theon brought out a switchblade, flicked it open and stabbed it through the curtain. Someone yelped before falling out. That's when I knew we were surrounded.
My
father's
's lips curled up in a corner just as about a dozen of his men came out of their hiding places. "That's why you've always been my favorite, Theon."
My heart squeezed at his words. At least, Theon being a favorite, indicated the existence of someone else who was not. I noted that my father hadn't looked my way since he arrived. It was his way of acknowledging that I did not exist to him. I should have been used to this but it hurts every d*****n time.
Theon
looked over at the men. "Get out." He ordered but they did not budge until my father gave a curt nod. Then they all filed out of our apartment. Theon headed straight for the private bar in the corner. "What is it you want, Dad?" My father turned his body to where Theon now sat. His expression suddenly turned business-like, "Fine. Since you want to go that route then. Explain to me why today's mission was a fail
My brows furrowed just as Theon and I shared a glance. A fail? No, we won. We got the beast into a corner and secured it. "I beg to disagree, Father. The mission was a success. My father raised his brow. "A success you say?" "Was it
it
not?"
My father pulled out his phone and tapped some buttons. Immediately, our phones buzzed. I pulled mine out of my pocket and discovered that it was a video message. Clicking on it, the more I watched, the more I was filled with despair. Using Satellite imaging. I was able to see that long after the beast ran into the woods and we all went after it. No one waited behind to stand guard and thus six more beasts snuck out of the building and escaped. I rose to my feet.
"Didn't you do surveillance like I asked?" Theon mindlinked me

"I sent my team to do it. I didn't go myself."
I felt an icy cold feeling down the bond. "WHY?!"
I hesitated before replying. "Because I didn't want to leave you.
"Whose duty was it to do surveillance?" My father queried and my heart literally began to pump faster. Of course, I just needed one more mistake to make him hate me more. I licked my lips ready to confess.
"It was my duty." Theon said and I glanced at him surprise.
"What are you doing?" I mindlinked.
making awful mistakes lately." My father c*****d his head to the side. "Like taking that girl to a restaurant,
"Just roll with it! Well deal with this later." Theon's cold voice echoed down our bond. Then he poured his glass of whiskey down his throat before rising to his feet and facing our father. "Whatever punishment you mete out, I deserve." "You've been Once again. Theon's eyes a and mine
met.
"Have you been watching us?" Theon asked.
"I watch over what belongs to me."
"Then your spies should have told you that it was just lunch"
My father stared at him for a moment. "Is that so, Miro?"
I flinched especially when he turned his full attention on me. "Yes, Alpha. That's what happened."
My father watched us both as we gave him our blank faces.
"Brothers first, before we are his sons." Theon mindlinked,
"Brothers first." I replied.
"Fine."
My father shrugged, preparing to head for the door. He turned to Theon. "I'll decide your punishment later."
Our father crossed the room, heading for the door beside which I stood.
"And as for you." My father suddenly grabbed my arm and in a flash, his fingers grew claws that pierced my skin. I looked into his eyes, willing myself not to show any pain as blood trickled from my arm.
"Father!" Theon said but our father growled at him and Theon was automatically forced to his knees, seemingly struggling against an invisible force.
Our father turned his attention to me, his eyes glowing red. My heart began to beat extremely fast as I felt the essence of the Alpha King put me in a chokehold. "By my authority, I forbid you from supporting your brother in this cause. You will not help Ryn Ashmore. You will be my eyes and ears from henceforth until Ryn is off the team.
I felt his aura travel along my blood vessels straight to my heart and head. I tried to fight it but his aura was like quicksand. The more I fought, the stronger it became till I was completely overwhelmed and ber to his will
He let go of me and I was left breathing helplessly as I watched him bring out his handkerchief and wipe the blood off of his hand. When he was done, he dumped it right in front of me and patted my back before leaving.
The moment he closed the door behind him, whatever invisible force had my brother alimbo, left him and for the first time. I truly saw rage flashing in his blue eyes.

He stormed towards the door but I held his arm to stop him. "It's fine. He's not worth it."
Theon's eyes grew colder. "He came into my house, disrespected us and forced his will on you. I won't stand for it." Theon jerked his arm off me and stormed out the door.
I decided to follow after him to see how things would unfold. The car envoy we didn't see before when we came in suddenly appeared in the parking lot. My father was already in his car ready to move when Theon walked out of the building.
In a flash, he changed into his lycan form and began to upturn all the security cars and when the men fought against him, he clawed through them giving them all a nasty ending.
Within minutes, the parking lot was a field of blood, guts and limbs. The only car left was my father's and Theon's wolf cautiously stalked towards it like it was prey
He went to the front of the car and snarled at our father who was sitting in the back seat. Immediately, I hated the fact that I was too far away to see his reaction. Was he surprised: Afraid? Amused?
In a flash, Theon snatched the driver out through the window and flung him aside like he was a ragdoll. Then he glared at his father.
"You went too far this time, Father. Too far but I won't let you win
