Six

~Aphrodite~

I knew the door was locked and it's not it's the first time I got locked inside of a room.

So.

I climbed out of the window and decided I'll kill him in his sleep.

I walked around the pack grounds and all stared at me with disgusted looks. Mostly the men. The women would look up, but they would only look up to see where there're going. Nothing else. Not even a glance towards your direction.

Why are we leaving?

Vida, we're not leaving. Not yet at least. I rolled my eyes. I was walking towards the open field since I think that's where Zeke and Cadmar are at.

So, I made my way down there and I saw them both, but talking to an older male. I grew curious, so I walked closer and closer.

He had jet black hair but now it has some streaks of grey but his eyes are bright blue. He's the same height as both of them. He has broad shoulders, even for his age, he's toned.

And then it clicked. That's their father. I didn't know I stopped like five feet away, but I couldn't look away from his eyes. He looked behind Zeke and Cadmar and raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry. I have a mate already. She wouldn't want me with a new person unless you want to be burned alive and I get burned too. So-"

"What? No, I came here to talk to Zeke and Cadmar." Zeke and Cadmar looked behind themselves and smiled when they saw me, but both of them frowned.

"Aphrodite. We can't be talking to you anymore. We're sorry." I looked in his eyes and saw it was Zeke.

My eyebrow furrowed, "why-"

"Because the old Alpha said not to talk to any females unless it's your mate." Their father said while he took a step towards me. I looked towards him and he took another step towards me till we were toe to toe.

"This pack use to be sane. Perfect even. Well, I'm busting say, but ever since the Luna died. Everything went dark. Alcander went dark. I don't even recognize him anymore." He shook his head and had a small smile while he looked up. "I told you Jenna, you can't change a monster." He murmured.

"Why are you telling me this?" I crossed my arms across my chest. "I just came to talk your sons."

He looked down at me and his face was grim. "I'm telling you this because Alcander still talks to his old beta about what he's thinking. And he's thinking about taking back his title since you're here. And if he does. This pack will burn to the ground because older Alphas know what his mate's death did to him." His finger stabbed my chest and I slapped his finger away.

"It broke his heart when she died. When he found out it was a girl that killed her, he knew he made a mistake by changing." He took another step towards me while I took one back. "He beaten Valdus because Valdus reminded him of Jenna. Jenna was the one who thought of his name, and he has flash backs of her giving birth to him." He took another step forward while I took one back. "He would come to me and yell and try to fight his anger out on anyone. He used silver on anyone who asked what is wrong with him. He used it on me!" He growled.

I took another step back and his eyes were glowing bright blue. Both of Zeke and Cadmar pushed their father back while I stared at him with wide eyes.

They were yelling at him while he blinked and stared at me. I was breathing hard and I couldn't process why he was telling me all the things that happen to Valdus and the old Alpha.

"I'm sorry. I went over the line." He said. "My name is Helmer by the way, and the old Luna use to say I have a big mouth. So, I can't seem to shut my 'big' mouth up." He said while he looked at me one last time and then looked at his sons and gave them a nod before leaving the field.

I blinked and I watched him walk out of the field and walk somewhere else. I looked back to the twins and see them staring at each other and then looked over to me. "So..."Cadmar said.

*****

~Valdus~

I walked out of the estate and made my way towards Liam. I need to talk to my beta.

I walked in the house not even knocking because I've done it so many times before, and I'm the Alpha too.

"Janet." I nodded to her. She gave a small smile and pointed up stairs. "He's up stairs. He talking to Zelix." I nodded and murmured a thank you and skipped two steps when going up stairs.

I walked down the hall to his room and walked in. "Liam-"

"Valdus. He wants his title back." His father said while he looked at me. I felt my body stop and my heart stop for a second.

"What?-"

"He's taking it back since you found your mate and he said something about the moon goddess but he cut it off right before I could understand it. Something is wrong. I know it. I'm his best friend and this is way worse than his parents death. I need you to go see him. He doesn't even talk to me. That was the first time he talked to me since you mother died. Go." He said. I looked to his right and see Liam looking at me but nodding his head. I licked my lips and took a deep breath in.

"Okay."

****

I ran back to the estate and ran up stair to his room. I didn't knock this time and ran in. The door slammed against the wall and I felt my heart drop.

He's not here.

I looked through the bathroom and in the closet but nothing.

He never left his room. And if he did, I was never here. I gave him food all the time. He doesn't leave his room at all.

I ran out and looked all around the house and I still haven't found him. I licked my lips and thought harder to where he would might be.

Liam. Ask your dad where he might be if he's not at the estate.

Okay, hold on.

I ran outside and my wolves looked at me weird but I didn't pay any attention to them.

He said check the cellars behind the pack house. He said its under ground.

Since when do we have cellars underground?

I don't know. I didn't even know we had cellars. It's not like anyone comes and tries to get this pack.

True. Okay, tell him I said thank you.

Alright.

I ran towards the pack house and went behind it looking on the ground for any bunker. Or anything. I looked around and I finally saw a patch of missing grass, so I ran towards it and saw a hatch and I quickly picked it up.

Stairs leaded down into the dark and my heart picked up. But I told myself it's only my father that is down here.

Yeah...still kinda bad though.

I walked down and I blinked a couple of times for my eyes to adjust to the dark lighting in here. At the end I saw a door and on the sides there were cells. It smelled horrible in here. Smelled like rotten flesh and other smells that I can't even describe.

I slowly walked in and looked in the cells. Some were just plain, but one stood out to me. A chain laid on the ground. I stood in front of the door and looked at the chain. It had a collar on it and the chain was short. It smelled horrible in there but I noticed it was a silver chain.

I looked back to the door and I started to make way towards it but I jumped when it suddenly open, revealing my father with gloves on holding silver chains.
