Chapter 4

"Kaedence, can I come in?" Dillion asked through my door, "Go away" I shout. I hear my door push open. "Come on now small fry don't be like this," he says. I scoff at his statement. "Look I know you're mad at me but father made me swear not to tell you. I only found out a week ago myself" Giving him I grim look I could see the sincerity in his eyes. "You really didn't know?" I asked, "No! I swear on the moon Goddess, Father just told me last week" he sighs. "I understand if you hate me but just know you're the best big little sister anyone could ask for," he says with a smile while grabbing my hand. Just then a tap came to my door we both looked up and it was my father. "Dillion could you excuse us for a moment" Dillion quickly stood up and left my room. "Yes alpha?" I asked, this made him bare his teeth. "Do not call me that! you are my daughter and you shall address me as father" he snarled. "Yes, father," I said half rolling my eyes. "What you did tonight was unacceptable young lady!" he shouted. "Me? what about you?! why wouldn't you just tell me the truth? I spent my whole life thinking" He cut me off "enough Kaedence!" He barked. "I am sorry it had to be this way but I and your mother have been training you your whole life for this". "Mother?" I said, "Mother knew about this!?" "yes" he replied hanging his head low "How long?" I asked "how long has she known?" I shouted "since we married, she has always known" he sighed. 

I felt like a ton of bricks just landed on me. I fell back onto my bed. "She knew all along" I seemed to mutter, "Kaedence, sweetheart it's not that big of a deal. Just try to understand." my father said. "Not that big of a deal" I hissed back. "You know what father, I cannot wait to leave, I want to be far away from you and her as possible." I sneered. "Kaedence Renna" He huffed " Get out!" I demanded "Not liking the tone I used my father stood over me, looking down on me. I hear him let out a sigh and then kiss the top of my head, I pushed him away I could feel the hurt as he turned and walked out saying one day you will understand as he closed my door. 

I stood up grabbing my suitcase out of my closet and began putting all my clothes into it. I grabbed a couple of sentimental items I felt I could not leave behind. Looking at a picture of my whole family I couldn't help but feel the rage inside of me as I thought of the betrayal I felt from my parents. How could they not tell me? My mother knew this entire time and never tell me. She used to listen to me talk about how I could not wait to run the pack someday, I remember seeing the smile on her face as I would talk about it. I could see my father keeping this from me, but my mother? I thought we had a better relationship than this. I felt a lump rise in the back of my throat, I felt sick. Tia raging inside pacing all around. I felt dizzy, I fell onto my bed and closed my eyes. I dreamt of this horrid night, replaying the same conversations over and over again

I woke to a tapping on my door then it opened, "Kaedence?" I heard Dillion say. "Everyone is downstairs waiting on you" He sighed. I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me. This wasn't a dream after all everything really happened. I sighed sitting up rubbing my eyes trying to focus on Dillion. His face seemed sad but put a fake smile on to make me feel better. "I will let them know you're awake," he says in the softest tone. Closing my door behind him I pulled my blanket over my head then throwing myself up out of bed I grabbed the running shorts and t-shirt I left out to wear today put my unwashed hair into a messy bun and wiped what was once mascara off from under my eyes.

My eyes were still puffy from crying last night I sighed as I looked at myself in the mirror. Feeling myself getting angry all over again I snapped and punched the mirror. Glass hitting the floor all around me my hand now covered in blood, but yet I felt no pain, I felt sadness, and hate all at the same time. Looking at the blood-covered glass on the floor I quickly found something to wrap my hand when my door opened my mother standing there with her mouth opened in shock. I brushed past her as she asked if I was okay. I spoke not one word to her and walked down the hall to the stairs. Stopping at the top of them knowing once I walk down them there was no coming back. 

I found myself looking around the hall taking everything in. The pictures that hung on the wall of Dillion and me, the medals and trophies that I have won, and as did Dillion down to the color of the paint and the flooring. I sighed as I took the steps one by one, my hand touching the walls as I take my time going down. Feeling this aching feeling in my heart as I round the corner and see Devllin standing there. The pain in my heart could no longer bear it and I let a few tears slide down my cheeks. Dillion put his hand on my shoulder and grabbed my bags from my hand and walked out the door. My father standing there looking at me with hurt in his eyes but a hint of proudness behind them. He nodded at me as if he couldn't speak to me without choking on his emotions. I half-rolled my eyes at him as I am still hurt. My mother spins me around and grabs me and pulls me into a hug. Trying to resist I couldn't help crying. She Whispers in my ear "I will always love you, I understand you hate me but I will be here when you want me and even when you don't, please don't ever forget that I love you Kaedence" 

I push away wiping the tears from my face, I heard my father clear his throat "We will come by this weekend to make sure you are settled in and to celebrate your birthday Kaedence". "Don't bother" I said "you've done enough" and walked out the door. Hearing Devllin walking out behind me saying goodbye to my parents he closed the door. Waiting at the car was Dillion he wrapped his arms around me. "You might not want them to come to see you this weekend but I will be there if you like it or not" he smiled. I chuckled "yes, you can come I would like that very much." Devllin putting my bags in the trunk, and Dillion walking me to the passenger side and closes the door putting his hand on the window as we drove off. Watching in the mirror as he grew smaller till he disappeared over the hill. I sighed as tears went down my cheeks.
