Chapter 24 Chapter 25 Asher's POV I raced back home. My mind was like a turmoil, filled with things that Isaac said to me. I hated myself for letting an enemy affect me so much. But what if his words were the truth? What if my parents were indeed hiding something from me? I didn't even realize it when I arrived at the packhouse. Some members called out to me, but I walked right pass them. There was only one thought in my chaotic mind-Find my parents. W Then I stumbled upon Violet by the door. She seemed to be waiting for me, worried. "Hey how is it going? Are you hurt?" she ran to me, asking. I stroke up to her as well and yanked her into my arms. She let out a small gasp and struggled slightly, but I wrapped my arms around her even tighter. With her so close to me, I could finally feel the storm that had been going on in my head quiet down. She was the only steady thing in the chaotic world. Now I could think again. "What happened Asher?" she hugged me back, asking urgently. "You scared me!" I let out a heavy breath, "He told me some fucked up things." "He is probably manipulating you. Don't let him get to you easily." She comforted. I shook my head, "No I think there might be some truth to his words. Whichever it is, I need to find out." I had mind linked my parents and asked them to meet me at my office right away. Still holding hands with Violet, we headed to my office as well. My parents were already there when we came in. "Asher! Is everything OK?" Mom shot up from the couch as soon as we walked through that door. She seemed deeply worried. Normally I would tell her that everything was alright even if there was a problem, just to set her mind at ease. But this time, I couldn't bring myself to lie to her. This was too huge. "We need to talk," I gulped, shifting my eyes to my dad, and then back at my mom. Fuck. I didn't even know how to begin! "Do you have anything that you want to tell me? Any secrets you were hiding from me?" I in turned asked, nervous, my heart in my throat. This was me giving me a chance for them to come clean. I wished they could take this chance if there were indeed something. They exchanged a quick look. And by that look I could tell they both thought of something at the same time. Yet after a brief moment, my father looked back at me and said, "What happened really Asher? You are making all of us worried." So he was still trying to fucking hide it! Anger swelled in me like hot lava. I balled my fists and blurt out: "How about I have a twin brother and you never told me about it?!" "WHAT?!" Violet cried beside me, astonished. My parent's expressions were precious, like they just saw a ghost in bright daylight. Mom swayed on her feet and almost feel. Dad's jaw tightened as thought he was chewing on a tree root. "Fucking say something!" I snapped. "How told you this?" dad asked in a strained voice. He didn't deny it, which made it true. And looking back at my mother, she could barely stand now. All evidence pointed to one thing-I had a secret twin brother that they abandoned years ago and didn't know about it. I had never cried in my entire life. But at this very moment, hot tears welled up in my eyes. Tears of fury. I wanted to tear the whole world apart! "How could you?!" I snarled at them, "I can't believe this...My own parents, the former Alpha and Luna left your own kid in the woods to die?! What kind of monster does this! How can you sleep at night and keep lying to the world about it?!" Mom seemed horrified by my reaction. My dad tried to approach me, saying, "Calm down Asher. We never lied to you." I quickly backed away from him. If he got too close, I might seriously punch him. "Then what do you call the man I met in the woods? A fucking ghost? We look exactly the same! You lied to me for almost 30 years!" Mom let out a desperate sob and collapsed to the floor. Violet rushed to her side. She grabbed Violet's hand as though holding Chapter 25 onto her lifeline and whimpered, "No...we didn't abandon him." Why are they still trying to deny this? "I just met him mom! He is a rogue. He is the rogue king! If you didn't abandon him, how did he end up like that?!" Mom shivered. More tears poured out of her eyes. "No, no..." she cried into her palms. "Isaac wouldn't do this to us..." She even knew his name! So she knew exactly whom I was talking about! My nerve snapped. I lost control of my inner beast again. "Somebody tell me what the fuck is going on here NOW!!!" I roared at the top of my lung. Mom was crying so hard that she couldn't even say a full sentence. Eventually it was my dad who told us everything. Apparently, my mother was pregnant with twins 28 years ago. Isaac and I were constantly fighting in the womb, making her pregnancy extremely hard. Because of our royal blood, we were blessed with extreme power, and every time we fought in her made my mom weaker and weaker. Eventually it came to a point that she couldn't carry on this pregnancy anymore and they had to cut us out of her. Chapter 25 But our brother rival didn't stop. We were still fighting even when we were born, kicking and biting each other whenever we were given the chance. "It was nerve-wracking because you aren't like any other twins. It is like you two are born rivals, saint versus devil, the light against the dark. Then everyone started to notice how strange this was. They didn't want this to happen in the Alpha's family. So after a long discussion, the council decided to take your brother away from us." Father said in a gloomy voice. "But I was determined to raise you! Both of you!" mom sobbed, "It didn't matter if you were monsters because you would always be my sons. But the council didn't give us a choice. It was either giving up on one or they would take away the both of you...So...in the end..." Her voice broke. She couldn't continue. Father finished her telling, "Your uncle and aunt can't have their own child. So the council proposed to have one of you sent to your uncle's. And that was Isaac. It was a stressful time, Asher, you can't even imagine." "STRESSFUL?" I blurt out, my voice filled with sarcasm and anger. "You call giving up on your own son stressful? What a wonderful father you are!" Chapter 25 He glared at me and thundered, "Don't talk to me like that! YOU KNEW NOTHING!" "I know nothing because you fucking keep everything from me! Like Violet could have told me she was my mate but she didn't! Kylie could have said that Isaac was her mate, but she kept it from everyone and rejected him! All of you! Stop fucking play innocent!" www.
