“Yes I believe he’s more suitable” I say calmly.
“Son have you thought this through?” Pa asks again.
Gritting my teeth my eyes flash with that of Zeus, “yes..I have. I am the Alpha here father don’t question me.”
“With all due respect David, you are retired. Laurence helps run this pack day in day out and it is his responsibility as Beta to step up when required” Nova interjects gently.
“David they’re right. We stepped down and Jax is the Alpha now, we as parents should help when necessary and offer any support we can. Laurence is an excellent Beta, and may I point out you did the same at times during your time as Alpha” My ma points out.
Nodding slowly he looks away with a pained expression on his face. “Ok Alpha” he says deliberately.
“I also have Axel and Evan returning this evening, in our absence the pack needs added strength. It was a concern of mine with Nova and myself being away from the grounds at the same time as my Gammas. They will be here until the weekend and then will return back to Uncle Henry’s pack to finalise a few things before they come back permanently the following week” I inform my parents.
Seeing my mother’s eyes widen in shock I turn and see my father glaring at me.
“What?” He growls with his eyes blazing.
“You heard me Pa” I say pinching the bridge of my nose.
“Do you really think that’s sensible?” He asks as my mum looks down at the ground hiding the hurt that crosses her face.
“Yes..I do” I reply sharply.
“They are..” he starts before I quickly interject.
“They are what father? Insolent? Unruly? Unfit to bear the responsibility of our family?” I ask frustrated.
“Yes!” My father exclaims angrily, “those boys need to learn responsibility and what it means to follow instructions. They were careless and endangered others, what’s changed?”
“Father that was 7 years ago..7!” I shout angrily.
“Jax?” I hear Nova ask quietly.
“They were teenagers Nova, they went out with a group of friends and ended up spending time with 2 human girls. There was an attack and they shifted, in front of the girls..to save them” I explain keeping my voice calm.
“They revealed us to humans” my father growls.
“It was either that or those girls got killed, what would you have done father?” I ask heatedly stepping forward as my aura bristles. “They reacted and they bore the consequence of their actions at the time. I would have done the same.”
“What happened to the girls?” Nova asks.
With a sigh I turn to her, “one had to go to a psych ward for a month. We paid for her medical care and we explained everything, my brothers were not going to let the rogues attack them, I mean goddess knows what they would have done they were feral. The other girl spoke to her family and 3 months later she became a hunter.”
“But at the time Axel and Evan protected them?” Nova checks.
“Yes” I answer immediately.
“They exposed us and put a target on our pack, they should never have got involved” my father growls.
“Would you stop father” I growl angrily, “they were young and they reacted as anybody with Alpha blood should have. They protected those who were weak and stopped them from suffering further.”
“I will not tolerate them coming home” my father says striding towards me.
“They are your son’s” I growl. “Why are you behaving like this? You saw them at Novas party, you enjoyed spending time with them. Why can’t you just enjoy the chance you have to work with your sons again?”
“Because I don’t trust them” he snaps.
“Is that why they went to Henry’s pack?” Nova asks quietly.
“Yes..it was father’s decision” I say throwing him a dirty look. “I attempted to bring them home when I became Alpha but out of respect for our father they said they wanted to continue improving themselves to make him proud.”
“David our sons are coming home, you need to put the past behind you” my mother says grasping his arm gently.
“And what if the hunters got you?” My father asks in a strained voice, “I couldn’t go through that again and it could have happened. All because of them.”
“Oh for Goddesses sake David. They are MY sons, I have been patient with you..with this situation regarding hunters and your opinion on them because of what you have suffered before. BUT I will remind you for the final time, I am not your ex mate. I can fight, and I would fight to my death to protect my family and my pack, I will not shy away from the danger the hunters show us” my mother says fiercely. “It is time for our sons to come home, I want them home.”
“Amelia..” my father says brokenly.
“No. I am not discussing this with you further, get your head out of your arse and look at the bigger picture. We are stronger as a family and they are coming home. If you do not accept that they have done everything they can to make you forgive them then that’s your issue, I miss my sons and I am proud of them” my mother says again as her eyes flash.
“If it hadn’t been for Axels quick work we wouldn’t have located the vans that had taken Flo, and if it wasn’t for Evans hard work training the warriors at Henry’s pack they wouldn’t have been so efficient in recovering her” I say.
“Look father, I am the Alpha here. You either get on board or you go. I’m not arguing and this isn’t a discussion, I am telling you” I say with conviction stepping forward to glare at my father. “I will be in my office when you’re ready to apologise and start acting like the Alpha you were.”
Nova POV:
“That went as well as expected” Jax growls in annoyance as we stride across the gardens to meet my father.
“I know they made a mistake but I have to admit I find your father’s opinion and reaction rather strong” I say calmly.
“The longer my father was Alpha the more he made decisions that I couldn’t understand, he was great don’t get me wrong. He helped this pack and led it from strength to strength, but he became overly reactive and overly harsh in his way of training us as the time went on” Jax says with a sigh. “The twins got it bad, they were little trouble makers but they were young boys. When needed they stepped up and over the last few years I am so proud of the men they have become. But it hurts them that my father refuses to forgive them for one mistake they made, even though it’s a mistake I understand.”
“Hmmm” I wonder.
