Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“What did you do?” I growl stepping forward making his eyes widen at my advancement.
“I was harsh at times in my treatment of them, not so much Mila but the boys had to grow to learn as Alphas that they could not fail” he says.
“Couldn’t fail?! They were PUPS” I shout, “of course they could fail at times, who doesn’t. Are you perfect?”
He stays quiet as he sees the fury blazing in my eyes. “You need to start talking David..now” I snarl.
“Fine..fine” he sighs holding his hands up in surrender. “If they didn’t perform well enough in training then Beta Andrew would give them a punishment that I found suitable, Jax soon took it upon himself to take the punishments not only for himself but for his brothers. They needed a drive to succeed so they worked harder.”
“Andrew hurt my pups?” I say deathly quiet.
“Nothing too physical, it was for them to work hard so it wouldn’t happen again” he explains.
“And you thought this was acceptable because?” I sneer.
“It worked for me” he shrugs, his remorse if he felt any was not showing.
“You hid it from me?” I ask quietly.
He slowly nods his head as he avoids my eyes, “I knew you wouldn’t agree. You were too soft with them Amelia, they needed to know life wasn’t designed to be handed to them on a platter. I made Jax throw himself into learning how to run a pack, he also helped with paperwork and gained more responsibilities when I deemed he had earned them.”
“Well clearly someone had to be a loving parent” I scoff at him. “How could you do this behind my back David? We are a team..or I thought we were. You caused my pups to endure physical pain when they made mistakes which is a natural part of life.”
“But it has made them into who they are today” he says looking at me confused as to why I don’t understand him.
“Did Andrew beat him?” I ask.
He nods his head in answer as a snarl rips from me, “he purposefully hit him where I couldn’t visibly see I assume?”
“Yes” he says quietly. “Jax took it everytime, not saying a word.”
“You know I could scent blood at times and Jax would always laugh it off and say he got the upper hand on someone and he needed to wash” I say gazing at him in anger, “that boy protected you even when you didn’t deserve it.”
Hearing that David looks up at me in shame, “he did” he agrees quietly.
“Did you make him?” I ask.
“No..no. I never said anything but he never told you” he admits. “I don’t think it was out of fear.”
Hearing that I laugh at him which makes him look surprised, “he’s made that clear, one thing I don’t ever relate Jax to is fear, he put up with it because you are his father and you were supposed to know best. But mainly because of his love and need to protect me, he knew it would hurt me..would hurt us.”
“When he got to 18, he finally broke. He beat Andrew so badly he was put in hospital for 5 days, I said it was a rogue attack” he says quietly.
“That was Jax?” I question remembering well how badly Andrew was beaten.
“Yes” he says quietly.
A small grin appears on my face at this, “good. He deserved worse for harming my pup.”
“So tell me David. Why have you been undermining our Alpha whilst he was away?” I ask quietly as my lips thin waiting for his answer.
“I wanted to make sure what he was doing was right for my pack” he growls defensively.
“Your pack?” I ask incredulously.
“Yes” he nods.
“I believe you are well aware that the current Alpha is Jax, this pack may mean a lot to you and in a way it will always be our pack, but it is no longer your pack to run David” I growl at him.
“And questioning the twins abilities?” I ask incredulously as he doesn’t say anything in response.
“Those boys need a firm hand Amelia, they have been away for years now and I needed to make sure what they were doing was suitable for the pack members here” he says sternly.
“They are amazing Alphas in their own right David” I shout furiously. “They are trained to take over from Henry for Goddesses sake, do you really think they can’t organise a task for trackers that isn’t to your standard? Not only that..you openly criticised them infront of pack members, why?!”
“To make sure they kept working hard to prove everyone wrong” he snarls back as he stands angrily.
Hearing that I snap and before I know it I have stepped forward and delivered a stinging smack to his left cheek making him stumble back in shock. His eyes fly to mine in shock, “what?!” He gasps.
“They shouldn’t have to prove ANYONE wrong, that is all your doing” I scream at him making his face pale. “YOU are the one that have made people doubt them over the years, YOU are the one that sent them away making everyone think of them in shame, YOU are the one that didn’t trust in your own sons.”
Hearing that he simply stares at me in shock, feeling his confusion through the bond I snarl at him once more. “Amelia..” he starts.
“No” I growl. “I am more disappointed in you than I have EVER been David. You drove our sons away and continue to contribute to the gap that is between them and us, their parents. I love my children, more than anything.”
“I know” he says quietly.
“No David..I don’t think you do. I mean more than absolutely anything, you think I would forgive you just because you’re my mate?! After all these years??” I ask suddenly deadly calm.
Feeling his panic suddenly surge through the bond I cock my head as I study him.
“I don’t recognise this man” I say gesturing my hand over him before turning and striding towards the door.
Turning before I open it I see the look of desperation on his face as he takes in what I have said. “I don’t want to see you, go home. I will stay here and assist our children, our pack, our family as I should. What I have heard disgusts me and I need to process it, but let me tell you something. We will never be like we were, you have hurt our children, taken away precious moments from their childhood and deceived me for too long. Get out my sight.”
