»»──────ஓ๑Percival Whitmore♥๑ஓ──────««

It’s been three weeks, and you want to know the bullshit I got for a crime I didn’t commit? Suspension. For six whole fucking months. The dean called me the next day after my phone call to my bastard father. They’re doing some investigation but the student body voted for me to be expelled because they’ve already demonized me without any conclusive proof. And it doesn’t help that I’d attacked one of Lucian’s friends one day before his attack.

The school says they'll lift the suspension if I’m innocent, but if I’m guilty I’ll be expelled. Tried and sent to the Silverclaw penitentiary. I’m so pissed. I packed up my things and got in my car to make the four-hour drive back to my father’s house.

I moved out of that place at eighteen, and I’ve been living between Zion’s home and the university dorm/the Moonhowlers fraternity. Paying for my college with my trust fund. It’s a fatty trust fund that I received at the age of eighteen. So even though it was set up by the man I used to view as the world’s best dad, I consider it my money.

But I can’t go anywhere else right now. People would think I’m running away.

Lucian is fine. He came off with only one issue, a few broken bones. His right arm and right leg are fucked up. Those are the bones he broke, I mean also his nose, he's got some damage in his eye that needed to be treated and a few cracks in his skull. Not bad. The doctors worked overtime to treat the rest of him. But for the next six months or so he’ll be in recovery until his self-healing comes in. The wolfsbane did the most damage.

He’s going to need a heavy medication. I found out this through Pauline, his mother calling me. She was scolding and swearing at me. So I told her she could go fuck herself the same way she fucked my father. That shut her the hell up.

I’m not her son, not her friend, not her stepson. She isn’t my fucking problem. I’m worried about my life.

I pulled into the driveway, this house used to hold so many memories. Even when my mother fell ill, god did that scare me. Especially when she only got worse. But she healed and ended up divorced and cheated on. That woman deserved the world, and instead, she got this fat sack of shit.

I’m sorry... I’m just not a happy person.

I clutched the steering wheel. Pauline and Yusuke are waiting outside. Yusuke is my father. Some people wonder why my last name isn’t Tamaki. After he fucked my mother over I took her name. If anyone would continue her legacy since she has no other living family, it would be me. I visit her every month, twice. But these three weeks have been tough. I haven’t even called to check on her.

I got out of the car when it seemed like my father was about to come towards me. I didn’t look at him as I popped the trunk, and got out my bags. I drug my items towards the door, and Pauline’s eyes track my movement. She doesn’t look happy but she’s only bold enough to look at me while my father is here.

“Percy, welcome home son.”

“Don’t act like you’re happy to see me. Your actual son is in there.”

“Percy.”

I pushed past him and Pauline. Marching into the living room instead of going directly to the place that was once my bedroom.

Once I was there I waited for them so we could talk this out. He asked me to come over, and I know his pattern. He has something to say to me, I just know it.

“Do you want to sit?”

I glare at him for that fucking stupid question. He raises his hand and tells Pauline to sit. Yusuke sighs, then rubs his eyes.

“Pauline and I are going to personally solve this case. If you didn’t attack Lucian then we are going to make sure we find out who did. And that starts by tracking down the gang that we’ve found that sells wolfsbane. It is an illegal item and if you got the wolfsbane, you likely got it from them.”

My eyebrow twitches, but I say nothing because I know sixteen languages and I can curse Yusuke in every single one of them. I’m gonna keep my words to myself right now because I feel like something worse is coming.

“Because we’re going to be hunting this case firsthand, we need someone to take care of Lucian while we’re away.”

This time I say something because he cannot trust my worst enemy in my hands. I will toss him down the fucking stairs. “What?”

Yusuke notices the tone of my voice and speaks. “Let me tell you this right now. Everyone is saying that I should send you to prison. They don’t even want us to find evidence, and neither does Pauline. But Lucian said he doesn’t think you did because you’re a cocky fucker who will take credit for it. So we’re doing this for him, and so I can show people my son isn’t a murderer. So you don’t have a choice. I will be placing an ankle monitor on you, if you leave the house without Lucian my squad of alpha will come over immediately, and you will either be returned to the house, jailed for a night, or beaten. Lucian is well loved.”

“My son is a good person.” Pauline threw him. Her voice was deep, and her eyes were wet. “You better hope you’re innocent.”

“Do you know anything about innocence? Yeah, I don’t fucking think so. I think your ex-husband should have ignored Lucian and burned you alive like the trifling witch you are.”

She flinched at the mention of her ex. That man is looming over their heads. He’s coming once he’s released, they know it. He has no idea she remarried because the prison he’s at restricts people from giving in important outside information. So she’s lucky or he might have broken out.

Yusuke growls at me. His eyes narrowed.

“For the love of god, Percy, we get it. I cheated on your mother, get over it. She was dying. I needed comfort, so I turned to a close friend. This is not what this is about. You are under house arrest, you need to make sure Lucian’s recovery goes smoothly. If things get worse, or you abandon him I swear to god, I will just shove you into prison. And wash my hands off you.”

You expect me to feel pain over those words? I thought we’d cleansed our hands off each other the second I turned eighteen.

But I see that I have no choice. I want to get back to my dorm, away from these people, finish my degree, and move out of this pack. With my mom. I’m only here for her. She hasn’t been discharged yet so I can’t abandon her.

Instead, I run my fingers through my hair. Six months of this. Six months taking care of the guy I’ve been trying to torture. Goodness, my life can only get worse from here on out.

“Okay, but you have to swear to genuinely solve this. I didn’t do it-” Pauline scoffs and I shoot her a death look. She slams her mouth shut. “Just clear my name, and I’ll take care of the bastard.”

“My son isn’t-”

“Oh shut the fuck up, mistress. Your opinion means jack shit to me.”

I picked up my bags and walked out of the living room having had enough of seeing them. I feel angry and I’m trying not to be. Since they’re dangling jail over my head.

The room was surprisingly made. Yusuke placed the ankle bracelet later that day, and then he and Pauline left. I still don’t understand why they have to leave but they do.

I’m walking down the hall with a bracelet that beeps when Lucian needs me. Great, I'm a glorified unpaid nanny. I stopped by his room and opened the door without knocking. He’s fast asleep, his bedside table is full of a bunch of medicine. Honestly, I’m a dick but I never actually wanted to kill him.

Maybe when I was fifteen or sixteen. But at twenty one all I want is for him to suffer. Death is too easy. He looks like he’s suffering.

His short hair has grown a bit over the weeks, his skin has patches of bandages and his right arm and leg are in casts. The damage is intense. Whoever did this had a vendetta against him. And the only one in the pack who does is me.

This doesn’t look good for me. Especially if Lucian can’t play football again. The pack will definitely not care whether I’m innocent or not. God, I’m so tired of being here. Take care of him... ugh, I’ll see what I can do without wringing his neck off.

Sure I’ll heal but it’ll take years before I can ever play at the level I was once in. I can’t believe I was attacked so easily.I moved to sit up, my body aches badly. I need some of those strong pain medicines I was prescribed. It’s hard to move, but I manage to get my body to stay upright against the headboard. The pain is gradually increasing. That was when I noticed something. Sitting across from me on the chair by my desk is a face I never thought I’d see.Percy. His eyes are sharp, and they hold their signature hate in them.

She’s my mother’s assigned nurse and a sort of second mom to me. I’m all for having people who hate Pauline.“No, don’t worry about it. Just tell her that I called, and I hope she’s okay.”Nurse Danbury was silent for a minute. She would usually tell me ‘okay,’ and then ask how I was doing but she didn’t this time. She stayed quiet for a few more moments, then she started speaking.“I saw you on the news. An attack on the Montague kid? I know you better than that, Percival. That boy would be deceased.”“You’re not wrong. I didn’t do it, but you know my father wouldn’t believe that. Pauline is his life.”“Yes indeed. Which brings me to the news I was dreading to tell you.

Percy was there, eyes scanning over my face with an annoyed look that I was calling the signature Percy look. That expression that said making one wrong move could land you in my current position. He pointed silently to the tray on the bedside table.“You need to eat, and take your medication.”I frowned at him. What time was it? I swear he’d brought me food before. Was that all in my head? Percy got up, moving towards the bed. He moved my body into a sitting position and offered me water. Then he placed a wooden tray over my lap.The food .... looked nice, but the look in Percy’s eyes made me wonder why he was giving me a nice meal? In my dream, the food hadn’t looked good when I saw it. But I think it tasted nice, or I couldn’t really taste anything. Who really knows?I didn’t complain though. It was a pasta dish. He handed me my medicine, taking the bottle of water because I didn’t

Giving them a warning that Percival was around, which Lionel was quick to say he’d be bringing a weapon.I love my friends, but they need to understand that a weapon wouldn’t stop Percival. It’s kind of weird how Percy and I think of each other every single day. Sure, we don’t have good thoughts of each other but does that count for something? It’s unhealthy, the bitterness that continues to etch itself between us.If only he’d get over himself. Ugh, I’m so tired and my body is slightly numb. I haven’t seen Percy since he came back in to collect the tray. And to toss a piece of paper on my face. Aggressively giving me his phone number. I wonder who forced him into this.Perhaps his father had gotten the sense t

    ✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧Before I could ask them anything, they offered to carry me down to the living room so they could air out my room. When I asked if it smelled, Lionel said it smelled like death. I’m guessing he could sense I’d been here since I was released from the hospital, and the entire room was sort of depressing.Ben was the bigger one amongst the three of us so he helped me into the wheelchair, and out into the hall while Lionel aired the room and changed the sheets. It’s good to have friends who have your back. When Ben dislocated his shoulder we were there for you. Sure, none of us have ever been this badly hurt but that doesn’t change the fact that we’ll always be there for each other.My mother had set a ramp on the side of the stairs, ben helped me wheel down it since I could only use one hand and that ramp honestly seemed so scary. What if I fall and cause more damage to my body?Ben doesn’t let that happen though, and we make it to the living room safely. He plac

If the school is so aware that the girl who made the call told them that she saw a bunch of people, why the hell are they so insistent on blaming me? It seems like I’m being targeted as well which sucks.Lucian must have fallen asleep because it goes quiet for a while before Lionel starts to talk again.“I bet Percy had something to do with this.”“Nah, did you see how cocky he acted after attacking me? Trust me, this guy didn’t do it. We would be at Lucian’s funeral. He wouldn’t have stopped just because a witness saw him.”Lionel growls lowly. “I can’t trust this bastard with, Lucian.

I can’t even begin to make a long list of the nonsense this asshole put me through. It’s like he’s trying to make sure this ends in blood and I have an unfair advantage. He gave me my medication at the wrong time. Like thirty minutes before I was supposed to take a shower.I ended up passing out in the tub, only to wake up drenched and nearly drowning from it. Percy came in late, and we had to call the house doctor who put me on twenty-four-hour bed rest to fix the ache in my neck and other regions.That first day that he did a good job was a ploy to trick me into thinking he was good at this. He is not.He kept cooking me bland meals, he threatened to wheel me out into the streets and when I said I hoped prison would be worth it, he argued that he’d take being in jail if it meant I was evicted from life.

The second they left, my mother called. Percy left to get something while i spoke to her through the house phone. “Hey mom.”“Have you heard from Yusuke?” the question threw me off. Why would she call me for that?It’s like she’s forgotten he’s not my dad. Our relationship works well because i don’t talk to him.

I sat on the floor, grumpily watching Lucian and his friends. They were smiling, and chatting each other up. Almost like they didn’t come here to do something. They’d brought a bunch of supplies that we could use but they didn’t explain any of those supplies. I wanted to slap them. They’re such weird pieces of shit. “God, I missed you guys. We need to play a game together when I’m all better.” Lucian said a dopey smile on his face. Why do I have to be here? I don’t like either of these people. I zoned them out and tried to figure out what to do with myself while these losers disturbed my peace. I didn’t exactly have peace, especially with the way Lucian acted last night. From perversely throwing himself over my body to touching his dick in front of me.He’s gotten too comfortable in this dark mess we’ve gotten ourselves into.

When he asked me to teach him something new, I gotta admit, I was angry. But I can’t deny I was interested. He’s a hot guy, but such a fucker. My ego swells at the thought of being the one to fuck Percy. Just think, all his bitching for years, pissing me the fuck off, attacking me... ha, imagine the face he’d make lost in pleasure. It’s the kind of evil temptation I can’t give up on. I can’t pass up the opportunity to be the one that turns him into a mess. I know. All the complications are clear. The world and my wolf are telling me to shut down this dumb idea but we’ve crossed that line. Why not go even further and do some crazy shit like fuck him?I chuckle. “We’re gonna need supplies before we venture down into that path.”“Like lube?

I’ve had to go through life happily oblivious to the pulls of the body. My wolf has had to deal with it. But lucian gets hurt, and somehow I’m kissing him, getting off and now I’m about to ask a crazy question.“When was the last time you had a blow job?” From my position on his body i could feel his exact reaction to that question.

When I woke up next after aggressively dangling my body on the edge of this uncomfortable sofa cushion, I decided sleep was for the weak. When I sat up, I was surprised to find Lucian staring at the darkness outside with the same haunted expression he had on when he threw himself on me. What was that all about by the way?I probably should have asked him some more questions rather than reacting the way I did. But this is. Expecting anything less than a violent angry response would be completely unreasonable. As quietly as I could, I moved my body to sit more comfortably. A few inches from the edge of the cushion where I might have fallen. How did I get any sleep while I was there by the way?I should have awoken with a concussion. I was so close to the edge.

The sun had begun to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows over the garden, but I kept going, unwilling to return inside just yet.Percy returned a few minutes into my work—though not by choice. He had been caught attempting to scale the outer wall and was now being dragged back by an experienced wolf who hadn’t even bothered to shift back into human form. The massive beast had its sharp teeth clamped onto Percy’s shirt, dragging him across the ground with little effort, despite Percy’s grumbling protests.I couldn’t help it—I laughed.

He was biting his fingernails, his eyes looking all over my face and body. It’s not a pretty sight. Percival looked outraged, and when I looked down I saw that his ankle bracelet was off. He was holding it in his free hand.“You’re up. That’s good.” The room looked to be in one piece, and so was I. I pulled myself up, making sure not to move my leg in the wrong way. I shuffled backward until my back touched the headboard. The room was chilling, the AC must have been cranked up to the top.“What’s wrong?”“My mother is missing. My father is up to something.

Perhaps pauline moved it. But that doesn’t explain why it started buzzing after she’d left. Not even right away. I sighed, and picked the book off the button before rolling the chair back to the top floor and to the bedroom. I sat behind the desk, confused and as to how this had happened. Then i decided to let the thought go. I have better things to worry about. Turning on the computer, i checked on the software that pauline had that man install.
