5: The other world

"Take me back!" Ethan yelled while kicking the door with his foot but it was futile.

"Quit that boy!" Robin growled as he stepped on the accelerator.

"Lemme go! Let me out! I don't wanna be with you guys!" He yelled with tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Listen here Ethan." Dian started, "you weren't safe there, you saw the rogues of yourself." She tried to talk him in but he didn't seemed to be having any of their words.

"I don't want your protection! I just want my family! Please lemme go." He pleaded with glossy eyes.

"Dammit! Why can't you fucking understand that those animals that attacked you were they fucking ones who ripped your grandfather's heart and killed him! They're fucking after you! And they won't have mercy ripping your members one after the other!" Robin yelled.

Ethan flinched at his tone and shrink in the back seat curling in a ball as silent tears slipped down his cheeks. He was helpless.

"Why such exaggeration?" Dian asked only to be ignore by Robin who speed off.

The ride took hours, as the night only grew cold and the sky turn brighter with the moon light. Ethan hadn't make a sound since he was still in his protective ball ever so silent as fatigue and hunger had knocked him out.

"Is the kid okay?" Robin asked.

Dian turned around watching him shiver slightly from how cold it was.

"Yeah, just cold." She responded.

"We're almost there." He said.

She undid her seat belt reaching for the cover beside Ethan then bringing it down on him, but as the fabric hit Ethan's skin he was awake, he let out a little shriek as he back away.

"Hey I just want to give you a cover." Dian said softly.

His heavy breaths slowed and he was starting to come back to his steady heartbeats. His gaze shifting from the cover to Dian's amber eyes.

"Put on your seat belt." Robin's stern voice made him flinched as he shakily reach for the belt. Dian returned back to her normal position with a frown.

The car went straight in the woods. Not relenting a bit. Ethan got scared by the sudden darkness caused by so many branches tangled together. He clung to his seatbelt eyes shut. And pray silently it will soon be over.

All of a sudden a blue light shines in front of them, he was forced to open his eyes ever so slowly as they rode straight to the light.

It was like nothing he had ever seen even in movies, the light was so strong he had to squint as they got closer, then he saw something through the blue dazzling light, many other doors, then they were swallowed completely and ejected to another world causing them to jerk roughly. Robin stepped on the break as the car rotated with a loud screeching sound before coming to a straight steady road and speeding up, Ethan had a deathly grip on his seat belt, as his stomach threatened to give out all it has got from the jerking.

He look outside the window, only seeing fire flies on the field, beautiful he thought. The car went through the immense land for twenty five minutes.

"W-where are we?" Ethan asked Dian reluctantly as he could see a bush far away.

"In the werewolf world." She answered. "What you saw was the portal, we just crossed over." She said gently with a smile.

Ethan rolled the car window down and carefully pop his head out flinching as the cool breeze hit his face and ran through his hair. He stared at the dark blue sky with a huge half moon and a crimson smoke spread across the sky.

He closed his eyes and inhale deeply, a fresh and pure air ran through his lungs and he sigh with relief. Unlike the human world, the air was not polluted but how?

When he open them again, he caught glimpse of a huge mansion straight ahead. The more the vehicle came closer the more mansions he saw. There were three enormous, vast and gigantic mansions, beautifully built and designed. Two of the mansions were connect with a horizontal line in between that made it look like a 'H' the other was separated. Around the mansions was a huge garden with a labyrinth and more. The car pulled in a stop among other cars.

"Welcome to red moon pack." Dian said with a confident smile.

Ethan pulled his head back in and stayed silent. Feeling insecure. How many people live here?

Robin unlock the door getting out so did Dian. He got to the back door unlocked it and grabbed Ethan's arm gently yanking him out. Ethan didn't fight back he only allowed himself to be pulled as he limped from his injured foot with clenched jaw. Dian saw his pain and immediately stopped her husband in his tracks.

"I'll take it from here." She said in irritation. He nodded not wanting to piss her any further and let go of Ethan's arm.

Ethan rubbed the spot feeling pain as he tried not to hiss.

"I'll get you to the clinic." She said sweetly to Ethan who nodded feeling a tiny bit of trust towards her.

"Hi Rosa! Brought you a patient." Dian said as she walked in the clinic.

"Oh Dian!" Rosa explained. Moving out from behind the white cupboard. She looked behind Dian with a quizzical brow.

"Nathan?" She asked.

"No, that's Ethan." Dian said only making her gasped.

"Oh my gosh!" She walked to Ethan checking every inch of him as he shrink, "I thought you were to bring him tomorrow? I thought they weren't identical."

"No the Alpha wanted it quick and we came just in time to save him from the rogues. Anyways I gotta speak with Robin, you know where the alpha mansion is." She said while walking to the door. Ethan watch her leave helplessly.

"Hey Ethan, I'm Rosa and I'm the Lota of the pack." She said.

Ethan only raised a brow in confusion.

"Oh sorry, you're from the human world." She said more to herself than him, "I mean I'm the assistant doctor and I'm 22." She smiled warmly.

Ethan remained silent and avoided staring at her.

"We can easily see the difference between you and Nathan, you're more introverted while he is an extroverted asshole. Believe me." She sat him on a chair.

"Just my feet." Ethan said before she had the time to ask. She only smiled and got to work.

She told him about random stuffs while treating his foot and he said little on his kidnapping. She made him take a shower and gave him new clothes before they went to the alpha house.

"Mark and Nathan are really kind you'll like having them as brothers." She said with a blush. Ethan only nodded uncertainly.

"Mark!" She called out when they were in.

Ethan was distracted by the beauty of the house, the red long carpet, the Royal furniture, the beautiful chandeliers and many more that he didn't notice the tennis ball. It flew straight to his face just inches away from hitting the bridge of his nose. But a hand caught it.

Ethan blinked and back away from the person standing in front of him. He was like two times his height (exaggeration) with a strong physics, he looked handsome more than he was with a dusty black hair, glaring emerald eyes but he was slightly young just like him with the same face. It felt like he was staring at his opposite.

"Great." Nathan said with an eye roll his voice sounded strong and nonchalant to Ethan.

"Stop staring. You smell human." Nathan said aggressively causing Ethan to flinch as his gaze drop to his feet. Nathan walked away going to seat on the couch by Mark who was more taller than him, with a jet black hair and a brown eyes, he looked strong enough to snapped Nathan in two. How much more him?

"You didn't tell me you were coming." He said to Rosa in his smoky voice she rolled her eyes.

"Ethan that's Nathan our future beta and the chosen one, and this over there the boy with no facial expression is our beta mark Tomlinson your elder brother." She added only earning a frown from Mark.

Ethan felt uncomfortable with their presence as Nathan was emitting a strong heat of displeasure with his hard glares.

"Where did they found him? He looks human and smells weak." Nathan mindlinked Mark.

"He is your twin what's the difference?" Mark replied.

"Look at him, he is my opposite, how can a werewolf be so small and looks like they would break if the fall?"

"Father is here."

They both looked up at the stairs where William was standing hands folded behind his back with Robin by his side. He was in his usual black business suit, his hair was just as black as Mark's and he looked stronger than anybody Ethan had ever seen. His only featured that scared Ethan to death was his piercing Gray eyes, they made him drop his gaze and tremble. The room was just as chilling as his expression.

Ethan felt his heart begin to pound as Teresa's words echoed in his head. Cold. Alpha. He bit his lips nervously.

"Ethaniel." He called. The simple fact of hearing the man pronounced his name made shivers travel down his spine as he resist the urge to run.

"Alpha." Rosa bow before retreating.

He came down from the stairs till he was closed enough to have a good look at his son. "I'm your father William, alpha of red moon." He said.

Ethan was in a fist of emotions. He didn't know what to feel for the man standing before him. Other than fear and submission.

"I can't feel your wolf. When last did you shift?" William asked his tone ever so cold.

"I'm n-not a werewolf, I'm a human like my mother." Ethan try not to stutter as he spoke to the cold alpha before him not daring to look up.

"Human?" William repeated monotonously.

"He is half blood and can't shift." Robin said.

"I think his wolf is just retarded." Dian said as she walked in.

"Nathan had his wolf at eleven." William said, "he is suppose to shift at 14."

"He is probably not a werewolf, he is a simple human." Mark said.

"Hm." William grunted, "you know you're here for your own safety, I wouldn't want you to end up like Gregory." He said to Ethan who wasn't staring at him but rather the floor.

"What do we do with him?" Mark asked as he step forward.

Ethan felt invisible as they discussed about him like he was not there.

"Omega." William said almost making everyone gasp.

"We haven't have one in 200 years Alpha. The last Omega was-" Dian paused.

"That's my last word, he wouldn't be able to defend himself when danger comes, he won't be able to fight rogues, he won't be able to do anything. He is a weak human. Therefore he shall stay in the second mansion and live like nothing happened. I'm only doing this cause I vowed to your mother." He said before retreating to the stairs with Mark. Nathan left not bothering to look at his brother.

Ethan felt a weird feeling of intense pain, a little open formed in his heart and expanded. He inhaled deeply to keep his tears in. His family didn't even look at him, they saw him like a promise that must be held nothing more. But yet he didn't understand why his father valued Nathan? The way he spoke of him like a priceless trophy. They are both half bloods from the same mother, why had he chose Nathan over him?

"Come Ethan I'll show you your room." Dian said softly as she led him away.
