Chapter 26


    CHAPTER 26


    Nick’s hand was reached out in front of Aiden and the tension rose around us. It thickened for each


    sedond that Aiden didn’t grab i


    Aidens eyes were narrowed but he looked rxed. His chest was puffed out, his shoulders rolled


    back and he looked down at Nick’s hand, seemingly analyzing the situation and the words Nick had


    just said.


    “We are.” He said and shook his hand. I released a visible breath and y shoulders sunk. My


    brothers grinned and Edmund started jumping around. He grabbed my shoulders and guided me


    away.


    “Tell us everything, how’s it been?” Edmund asked and brought me over to a stub where we sat


    down and talked. Nick patted Aiden’s shoulder and the two walked off, I had no idea where to but


    I’m guessing to talk about something that the rest of us weren’t allowed to hear. Obviously.


    I told them about how it had been living here, obviously leaving out all of the bad parts, so it wasn’t


    a long story. I didn’t want to tell them about Sam and Cole or the girls that made me pay for their


    stuff but I did tell them about Cassy and Marie.


    They told me about the pack and how Ba was at our house constantly trying to hook up with


    Noah and sneak into the Alpha family line. She was, luckily, failing missarebly.


    “You better not date her!” I said and pointed my finger in his face.


    “Are you kidding me, half the pack has been in her pants, I’m not putting a ring on that finger,”


    “No, you’re just putting your *ick were half the pack’s already put in Edmund said and chugged


    down some water.


    “What?!” I squealed.


    “You slept with her? You knew what she did to me and you slept with her?” I asked and stood up,


    looking disgustingly at my brother.


    “Sis, I’m sorry bute on, she’s hot and has like the biggest tits Ive ever seen,” 1 gaged and was


    about to throw up.


    “You need to stop talking.” I said and covered my mouth with my hand. They guysughed and


    Noah winked at me while tossing a peanut into his mouth. The boys had never had a problem


    getting the girls, for one: They were ranked members and every girl wanted to be married up. And


    also, they all worked out everyday, were super picky with their hair and clothes and overall looked


    good.


    Edmund had a boyish appearence to him with a more rounded face, thick brows, dark-blonde hair t


    tht was always shaved down to the shortest lenght. He had thin lips and a slimmer body but he was


    still stronger than all of the warriors. It was always fun to see someone new provocing him, thinking


    they’d get upper hand becuase of his slimmer figure but the only two people stronger then Edmund


    were our other brothers. Noah was broad, muscr like most others and a thick head of hair. Nick


    was the tallest, he was jut as broad as Noah but with a few inches over his head. Dark hair, hazel


    eyes and a blonde-red hair color that I had always been jelous of


    Aiden and Nick came back from their walk. Aiden’s eyes locked with mine imideitly and it felt like he


    was looking at a stranger. I could’ve sworn I also saw some pity or sadness in them. Whatever


    emoiton it was, I hadn’t seen it in his eyes before.


    “We gotta head out. Mom and dad think that we just headed into town to party,” Nick said.


    * wish you could stay longer,” i said against his shirt as we hugged


    “Me too, but we’ll see each other again soon. Promise,” He said.


    Me and Aiden walked back to the house in silence. Neither one said a word and I was grateful for


    that. I wanted this time with my brothers to havested forever but at least I had the memory of it


    and didn’t want it tainted. I wanted to live in that memory for as long sa I could. As we entered the


    house, a loud annoying voice rose to its highest pitch.

    “Aiden, we’re heading out!*S


    Sam said and came running toward him. She circled her arm in his and pushed her breast up


    against his arm. Her skirt seemed to have gotten shorter since I saw her earlier and I was pretty


    sure she had taken her bra of


    Afden looked at me and I rolled my eyes and continued walking.


    h, you smell like that whore,” I heard her say but didn’t pay her any attention.


    “Ugh,


    “Aiden, what are you” I felt a hand on the small of my back and turned my head. Aiden was looking


    straight ahead as we walked up the stairs. I looked over my shoulder and saw Sam stating daggers


    at me. Her face was beet red and was fuming from where she stood. She was pissed and I was


    confused.


    We went into the room and he removed his jacket.


    “I’m tired so I’m just gonna head to sleep. You know you dont have to be here, my brothers left, you


    don’t have to pretend anymore,” I said and put my hair up in a ponytail. He unbuttoned his shirt one


    by one. His brows were furrowed and really pressed together. A vein in his forehead bulged out and


    with his head turned away, I looked down his arm and his chest.


    He unbottened his pants and I looked away.


    “He told me something, your brother,” I froze, a chill went down my spine and I stood still in


    “That you haven’t had


    in my spot.


    had it easy. Nothing of what people know about you. is true, is it?” He asked.


    “People don’t know anything, they hear and then they assume, knowing implies asking.” I said


    without meeting his gaze.


    What did he tell you exactly?”


    “What


    were monsters. To you especially,” d*mnit, Nick


    “That your parents were


    “Don’t worry a


    about it,” I said and smiled.


    “Gabby-”


    “You met them, if that first interaction didn’t clue you in on their mental instability then I’m not sure


    that anything ever will. It’s fine, I’m here and they’re there.” I didn’t want to get into this with him, I


    still didn’t trust him. One talk with my brother and one good deed wouldn’t take away everything


    else he had done to


    I went into the bathroom and changed my clothes, when I came out again Aiden wasying in bed.


    “You don’t have to stay,” I said.


    “I know, I want to. I’m exhausted,” he said and turned of themp.


    “Goodnight,” I said.

    “Goodnight and Gabby-” he turned his head and gazed


    I really am sorry,”


    “And I’m a spolied bitch, those are just words, Aiden. Time will tell if you really mean them,” I said


    and turned of my bedsidemp.


    When m


    morning came I smelt newly brewed coffee and something sweet.


    I rubbed my eyes and saw a tray of food standing on the bed.


    2/4


    CHAPTER 26


    “Eat up, we’re going out,” he said as he stood there, fully dressed.


    “Where?”


    “It’s a surprise,”


    “I don’t like surprises,” I said.


    “You’ll like this one,” L-eyed him cautiously but decided to just go with it. I ate the food and drank the


    coffee before getting dressed.


    “Where are we going?” I asked after we had been driving for th


    thirty minutes.


    I had a pit in my stomach that grew for each minute that we drove I wanted to know where we were


    going so that I could prepare myself.


    “You’ll see soon,” We drove for another thirty minutes before he went of on a smaller road and up a


    long hill.


    When he stopped car I was eery to get out but Aiden left and opened the trunk.


    “Come on,” he said and opened my door for r


    me.


    I stepped outside and looked around. A loud gasp sounded as I saw where we were.


    We went over to the cliff where there was a bench, and the view, we were looking over


    in the far end.


    r the entire town and could almost see the pack


    “What do you think?” He asked and put a basket down on the bench.


    “It’s breathtaking.” I said in awe and walked closer to the edge. I stepped so close that my toes were


    of the edge of the cliff and I closed my eyes, reached out my arms and just breathed. It felt so


    freeing, knowing the town was beneath us, nobody could touch me here, I felt the freedom I had


    always dreamed of.


    My breath got stuck in my throat and i gasped as I was pulled back from the edge.


    “Please don’t do that, it makes me nervous,” Aiden said and g


    I and gently removed his hand fr


    from my stomach.


    We walked over and sat down on the bench.


    “How did


    you


    find this ce?” I asked him. Aiden opened the basket and pulled out a bottle of wine.


    “I was an angry kid, always getting into fights and rebelling against my destiny to take over the


    pack. I didn’t want the responsibility when I was that young but it was instilled in me that one day I


    would be taking over and there were certain things I had to do in order to earn it. When I grew older,


    in my teens, I began to want the title but I did nothing to change my behaviors. My father brought


    me up here, we sat down on this bench and he told me that the title wasn’t oved to someone. It had


    to be deserved. He said that if I ever wanted to be Alpha and take over the pack when he


    stepped down, I had to change how I acted and too start behaving like a leader, if not, he had no


    obligation to hand over the title to me.”


    I thought it was automatically handed down to the oldest son of the Alpha?”


    “It is, but I’m not the Alpha’s oldest son,” My eyes widened.
