And Then There Were Four

"Dad, I didn't do anything. I was just at my locker and Lux came over here storming up out of control, accusing me of being seen with this guy just because his girlfriend and her Barbie friends said that somebody had seen me with him at a party." Everybody around was listening to the conversation. It was clear Cassie was being overdramatic to try and make me look bad. Looking around the hallway, he frowned at the other students. "Don't you all have class!"

He was pissed, and as the kids who lingered around quickly disappeared. He turned his gaze to me. "The two of you in my office, now."

Our father was a very calm and kosher man. However, when things got out of control or we misbehaved, he took it seriously. As soon as we turned down the hallway, the door to his room came into view.

"I don't know the truth behind what happened, and honestly, I don't care. The fact of the matter is I could feel your power, Cassie, from right down the hall to where I was, and that is not good for anybody," he said as he closed his office door. "I'm sorry," she whispered, causing a smirk to cross my face.

I was glad to see Cassie getting what she deserved. Yet, when his gaze turned to me, it became even angrier. "I don't see what you think is so amusing, Pollux. You are the one that initiated this entire thing."

Standing straight with my mouth open, I shook my head. "No, I didn't. She started it by going off with Lucas at some damn party, trying to make herself look like a whore in front of the entire pack."

"Excuse me?! Did you just call your sister a fucking whore? Have you lost your goddamn mind? Do you know what Damian, or even Talon and your mother, would say, hearing you talk about your own sister like this?"

Guilt filled me. Mom was everything to me. She was beautiful and graceful. Everything a boy could ever wish to have in a mother, she was the person I was the closest to out of all of them.

I knew my mother wouldn't have been pleased with how I treated Cassie today. Especially invoking her powers the way that I had. "There's no need to tell her what happened. I'm sorry."

I quickly bowed to the situation, not wanting to escalate it any further and as I apologized, Cassie turned her frown into a smile, shrugging her shoulders as she shook her head.

"Look, we will deal with this at home, but for right now, both of you get to fucking class and don't let me hear that any kind of situation happened again stay away from each other," James replied, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"Wait, what?" Cassie said quickly. "He's my ride home, though, and we have to stop at the pharmacy to get the medicine mom needed."

"I'm not taking you anywhere," I interjected, refusing to be in the same vehicle with her. "Looks like you better walk or ask your friend to take you." "That medication is for our little brother. Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Cassie, I will take you, sweetie. Just meet me here when you're done with your last class. I needed to go by the store to grab a few things for dinner anyway," James sighed, causing her to nod her head, butContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

then scowl at me.

"Fine." There was no need for any other conversation to be had, and as we both exited our father's office going our separate ways, I couldn't help but wonder if I did fuck up in regards to this situation. Sure, my sister pissed me off to no end, but thinking back on it now, I didn't act like an Alpha. Instead, I acted like an asshole and the entire student body got to see me mistreating my sister over a rumor.

I wouldn't allow her to be with

someone like Lucas, but as soon as

I was the Alpha, I was going to make sure she was paired with someone respectable. There was no way in hell would allow her to continue to be the loose cannon she was.

She needed a mate, and if she couldn't find hers soon... well, I'd force her to mate with someone else. That way, they could keep her ass in line.
