Chapter 71

“H–how can big brother say that to Gracie!” Gracie cries out and puts her hands over her face. “Big brother thinks he’s so much better than Gracie? Big brother’s a meanie!”

While her friends see a sad little girl, I see right through her facade. Especially since she’s watching sparkling with glee wet with fake tears and a smirk on her face.

through opened fingers! Those dark crimson eyes

“… So fake…” I mutter out loud without meaning to. Those crimson eyes widen at first but then gleam happily. I curse myself under my breath and turn away. “If you don’t have anything else better to do, then please leave. You’ll just get in the way.”

Grayson looks at me in both surprise and curiosity. I wonder if my bitter thoughts are all over my face right now. At least he isn’t head over heel over Gracie. He’s the only real one I can count on right now. He doesn’t get a chance to say anything as Gracie cuts in.

“So mean!” Gracie cries out in a shrill voice that makes me wince. She sounds like Mother when she gets this way. “Gracie hate you! Gracie telling Mommy on big brother!” She spins around and takes off.

The moment she leaves, I know I’m in trouble. Her friends throw me filthy looks before going after Gracie to comfort her. I hate her baby talk. She can speak so well but chooses not to for more brownie points.

I click my tongue and look up at Grayson. “… Shall we continue?” I ask. I see the hesitation but he nods and we continue our lesson for a while longer. It isn’t until Mother comes and drags me away that my freedom for the day comes to an end.

~Present~

Mother unties my bindings and lets me fall to the ground. She scoffs down at me. “Go and wash up. You’re so filthy! My Gracie can’t be seeing such grossness.” She turns away and storms upstairs leaving me alone.

The pain I’m in is nothing compared to the pain I feel in my heart. Nothing’s ever felt right here. ‘How could you ever be my son?‘ That question echoes in my ears. For the first time, it felt like Mother was being honest.

How could I? I clench my fists and glare at the stairs. “… I’m not your son… isn’t that right… Dahlia?” It clicks with me and feels right. Calling her Mother… disgusts me more than anything. I start to laugh at myself and look up at the ceiling.

Something warm runs down my face and I touch my cheeks. When I look at my fingers, I only see dried blood mixed with something clear. Why am I… crying right now? It’s not the pain or any heartache. Is this… relief? Tears of joy?

I laugh again as I force myself to stand. A decision comes to mind and I stumble my way upstairs. Instead of heading upstairs to my bedroom, I make my way towards the sound of the happy family.

“Mommy punish big brother for being a big meanie!” I hear Gracie say. I can picture her with her cheeks puffed and her red eyes wide. “No dinner for big brother! Hug Gracie, Daddy!” She always sounds like she’s ordering people around and yet they listen without question.

I stop as I watch the family. Father looks so happy while he hugs Gracie close and Dahlia looks equally thrilled. Everyone fits so well together without me. This doesn’t hurt me anymore. If anything, I feel even more relief as I’m no longer needed.

Gracie meets my eyes and her eyes widen in horror. Did she think I didn’t get this badly hurt before? I smirk back at her while she lets out a small scream. “Big brother!” Soon all eyes are on me.

Dahlia’s eyes darken with anger since I disobeyed her while Father just stares at me stunned. I tilt my head to the side and scoff. “You’re right, Gracie. I won’t be coming for dinner. Not now or ever again.” I walk to the door casually. I don’t have a shirt on so Gracie lets out a gasp when she sees my back.

“W–what happened….?” This is the first time Gracie says scared. I ignore her though as I throw the door open. Fresh air hits my face and I let out a sigh. “W–wait! Big brother!” She calls after me but I walk off without another word.

Chapter 71

As I walk through Moonlight Pack’s home, anyone I walk past stops and stares in horror. I have a clear mission though. I want everyone to sex what Dahlia is doing to me. I want them to know the pain I’ve been enduring. For once, all the attention is on me.

However, I don’t find satisfaction in this. Why does Gracie like it so much? I stop in front of camp and close my eyes as the evening sun warns my body All eyes were on me… but what was the point? I still feel empty.

“Keith!” I hear a familiar voice and open my eyes to see Grayson with his mate Rina and son. His face is pale and full of shock. “W–what happened to you?!” He gives Rina the baby and goes to my side. “Who did this? Was it the Luna?” Gasps echo after that question.

I stare at him and then let out a small laugh. Why is this so funny to me? I wipe my face and grin. “Of course! Dahlia hates my guts! But don’t you know?” Angry passion pushes me forward. “That b*tch isn’t my mother!”

Grayson’s eyes widen as I start to laugh uncontrollably. “Keith…” he places a gentle hand on my shoulder. “Hey… calm down… has this been going on all along?” I can only grin at him and his eyes darken. “Are you serious…?”

I get why this is so funny now. Everyone around me looks so dumbfounded like they never saw this coming. Are they all blind? How stupid can adults be? The only people I don’t blame are Grayson and Rina.

“KEITH!” A loud voice booms making everyone jump to attention… everyone except me. I turn and watch as Father storms up his eyes dark. “What the hell are you doing?! Showing everyone what you did to yourself and blaming your mother? Are you that hungry for attention?!”

I don’t even flinch and meet his eyes. That enchanted look remains but honestly? Even without it, I don’t expect a thing from this man. Even if he locks like me… then another truth hits me. “… You’re not my father, Tristian,” I say calmly. I don’t know how I know but I do. This man isn’t my father.

Tristian glares down at me but says nothing as I continue. “This isn’t my home either. You and Dahlia… you’re strangers to me and nothing will ever change that.” I let out a laugh. “I did the lashes to my back myself? I slapped my face and punched myself in the stomach? I gave myself all these scars for
