Sophia’s POV
.
“Why did you become my friend, Henry?” I asked, changing the topic.
“Because Brandon told me to do so.”
“So, even the attack that happened on the night of the festival? Brandon wanted to harm my unborn baby and me?”
“No. He was out of the country, so he had no idea about it. Actually, we were kind of pissed that Brandon was delaying the plan because of you being pregnant. He didn’t want any type of stress on you as he knew that it might affect you in one way or another, and then what happened next…. “he muttered, shaking his head. “He tortured us to death. We were literally begging for his forgiveness. Till the time you were in the hospital, he rarely used to visit you because his time used to be busy torturing everyone to our death.”
I scoffed, hearing him. “But why did he torture you guys so much? I mean to everyone’s death? It’s not that anything happened to my baby or me. Maybe because you all disobeyed him or something?”
“If you want to think in that way, then go ahead, think in that way because I saw a different side of Brandon that night, which made me realize that he could hurt you in this revenge game but wouldn’t kill you.”
“Yeah! In another way, he will kill me slowly and gradually.”, I mocked. “And for god sake, stop calling the word REVENGE word to justify your deed because I know hunters and werewolves are enemies for centuries, but this time, you guys stoop too low by involving families and playing with people’s feelings. That shows how coward you all are.”, I spat.
“It started from your family.”, Henry growled at me, and the color of his eyes color changed. I shrieked in fear, seeing him like this. “What do you think only you had a family, and we all dropped from the sky on our own?” he asked angrily.
Immediately he calmed himself down, seeing my expression, “I’m sorry. My wolf just got pissed and growled at you. All I meant was that your family started to involve our family in all this. That would be a lie if I said that our family members were all innocent but like you are innocent and has nothing to do with anything. We too had sisters, daughters, and mothers in our family who were innocent.”
“Everything looks good only when they’re in limit. And that limit was crossed by your father and your brothers. Not just they wiped the whole pack but also raped our future Luna in front of Alpha and the future Alpha.”
“Who are Luna and Alpha? And what are Luna and Alpha” I asked in confusion? “And about RAPE, I don’t believe that my brothers or fathers are capable of doing something that horrible.”, I said, completed denying the fact. “Just because I’m listening doesn’t mean I will trust any of your words.”
“Is that so, then why don’t you ask the reason why your brothers Oscar and Owen don’t get along with your father?” Henry asked, making my mouth. Well, I didn’t know the answer to this question. I asked about it both Mom and Oliver, but they had no idea about it.
“By the way, Alpha is the leader of the pack, and Luna is his soulmate, his pair.”, he answered my other question. “Our Alpha, Brandon’s real father, was cruel and heartless.”
Okay! Now I was interested in hearing this part.
I wanted to know Brandon’s past.
How could he be a werewolf when he was raised by a hunter.
“And our Luna didn’t want her son to follow her mate…I mean her husband’s footsteps. But she knew that wasn’t possible. She was pregnant with twins sons, but after delivery, everyone was told that she had given only one pup… I mean, the baby was alive, and the other one was dead, but in reality, Luna managed to give one of her sons to her best friend, who was barren, with the hope that her best friend would give him that life that she couldn’t give.”
“And that child was Brandon?” I guessed and saw Henry nodding.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Logan accepted that infant baby wholeheartedly when his wife lied to him that she found Brandon in the park. His wife hid the real identity of Hunter, aka Brandon, at that moment because she knew that Logan would never let her keep that werewolf pup in the house. When Brandon turned, they adopted a girl too, completing the family; everything was fine till Brandon’s eighteen birthday, until he shifted for the first time, revealing what he was!!”
“Then?” I asked quickly.
“He wanted to kill Brandon, but he couldn’t before his love for Brandon overpowered his hatred for the werewolf. So, he didn’t kill him completely but killed his wolf by poisoning Brandon on a regular basis.”
“But that is equal to killing Brandon. He should have accepted Brandon in the way he was instead of changing him.”, I reasoned out.
“Exactly, and that was the reason Logan kept his mouth in this plan. Even though he didn’t want to deceive you, he had no choice than doing what Brandon did because that was Brandon’s condition because Logan was seeking Brandon’s forgiveness for long, two things, one for killing his wolf and second for helping your dad, Ethan in wiping the Blood Moon Pack, our pack without knowing the fact that Brandon belonged from the same pack.”
“And about his wife and daughter’s death?” I asked, recalling dad’s wife and sister were killed by the werewolves.
“They died in the car accident. Brandon just used that news in another way to lay a trap for your father. He planned everything in such a way that when Ethan would be in problem, he would reach for Logan, offering his most precious thing to keep with him.”, Henry said nonchalantly.
