Chapter Fourteen

J O S H

Hunter parked the car in the drive way. Coming back home brings back unwanted memorie, even the drive way itself have it's part. I remember Devin and his friends beating me up when I walked home from school and they just dumped my bloodied body on the drive way then drove away laughing. I closed my eyes, trying to block the images, the voices out of my mind.

Steven notice my distress and held my hand as well as Hunter. Steven opened my door and slowly lead me to the front door. I've notice Devin's car wasn't here which made me sigh in relief, he isn't home so the sooner I get my stuff the sooner I can go to the pack house and stay close to Steven.

"Your sure about this babe, we can turn around and drive back home" said Steven. I shook my head and grip the door handle. I must do this, even if all the horrid memory come back to haunt me then so be it. I'm finally getting out of this place, Devin won't hurt me anymore and his horrid words will no longer effect me as it did before. My shaky handles grip the keys as I opened the door, the house was a mess. The smell of beer, vomit and drugs linger in the air I then knew he had a party recently.

Hunter and Steven covered their noise trying to block the disgusting smell. Hunter stayed downstairs as Steven and I head to my bedroom. It's just how I remembered it, all my toy trucks were still displayed on the shelves. Those were gifts from father and I'm planning to let my pup play with them, I wanted my pup to enjoy these toys just like I did. I opened an empty box and gently placed all the toys inside then taping the box closed. Steven took my clothes off the hangers and draws placing them in another large box. I then took all my photos of father into a small bag, I then walked into father's bedroom went under the bed and opened a loose floor board the had a safe in it. I remember the lawyer stating a pin code for a safe that father wanted me to have.

I opened the safe revealing a check that says $50,000 and a note. My shaky hands held the note in my palm as I gently opened it. Steven took the check putting it inside my bag then helping me sit on the bed while I read father's note, I never knew father written a note for me.

Dear my beloved Josh

Forgive me for not telling you's about my illness, I didn't want to worry you's guys about it and I tried my best to spend as much time with you's as I can. I loved you both so much and it's sad it'll have to end quite soon. This check will be enough to get you on your feet, please use this money wisely son, it'll be enough for your college fees if you choose to go.

I believe you could do anything and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Your strong, smart and easily misunderstood but that doesn't stopped you to prove them wrong. I know Devin have been treating you poorly, he's changed ever since your mother left. I know for a fact that he's aggressive that's why I choose you to be Beta and not him. That doesn't mean I favor you the most, I love you both just the same.

Please live happily and don't let Devin hurt you my son, stand up to him and set him in his place. Devin needs a wake up call, he's stubborn I know for a fact. I love you my son and please live a happy life, find someone who'll love and cherish you that's my wish.

Love Father

I watched Josh cry as he read the letter from his father. Josh gently fold the letter placing it inside his bag. I sat down next to him and kissed his head letting him cry his heart out.

"I miss him" he cried

"I know baby but he wants you to be strong" I whispered.

"H-How, I was never strong to begin with" he replied

"That's a lie, your father knew you were strong from the begging. You don't need muscles to prove your strong. Some people who concentrate on begging bigger aren't as strong as you thinking baby, I'm a perfect example" I said.

"Your strong Steven, you can talk about your past without crying, I'm not strong enough to face my past but I envy you baby" he said. I chuckled.

"It's more me that envy you, your strong I've seen how tough you are. You had to face Devin, your fears, your nightmares but your still here standing with your head high baby. You've faced your nightmares and I know it'll take sometime to let go of the past and move on but I know you can do it" I replied.

After Josh manages to calm down we resume to pack all his belongings until we heard shouting coming downstairs.

"Get out of my house!" someone roared.

"I am your Alpha, do not test my tempter pup!" Hunter growled. Josh whimper in fear running to his bedroom then locking the door.

"He's here isn't he?" he sneered.

"He is Devin and he'll leave this place and never coming back" said Hunter. Devin chuckled

"Really? I like to seem him try" Devin replied. I heard Devin stomping upstairs as I was now face to face with this monster.

"Oh new guy, you one of that f*gs sl*ts" he sneered. Devin walked closer and closer until our noise were touching. I clench my fist then punched his face making him fly across the room hitting the hard wall as he groaned in pain.

"Call him a f*g one more time and you'll regret pissing me off" I threatned

"He's a f*g and he'll always be a f*g" yelled Devin. I loud out a loud growl and began to beat the crap out of Devin. I heard Josh crying whimpering my name telling me to stop but I couldn't, all I can see was Josh whimpering in fear every night because of this f*cker. My baby nearly took his own life because of him, Devin has to pay and I'll kill him.

"Steven enough!" yelled Hunter as he shoved me off Devin.

"All that all you got!" he sneered

"STOP IT!" Josh yelled. We all went silent as Devin still have that smug look across his face, Josh shivered in fear but I pulled him in for a hug calming him down.

"See always be a f*g" Devin muttered

"How dare you call me that Devin. I am your brother, I've done nothing to you, NOTHING! and you think beating me up is okay? It's not, I'm afraid of you, I'm afraid of men the same size as you. I even run away from my own mate because all I can see is you. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat I even tried to kill myself because of you.

This isn't the Devin I knew. Your a stranger, what happened to my sweet loving older brother. Father believed in you but you had to change and act this way, treat me like a piece of trash. But you know what, I've had enough, I wanted to stay by your side since I'm all you have but no matter what I do or say you won't change for the good. If you wanted to keep acting this way, living like then I won't be part of it. I'm mated and pregnant so I'll be start a new life, a new family without you. So grow up Devin, the world doens't revolve around you, If you don't change then slowly everyone won't be around you and you'll be alone. If you hate me this much then I'll do you a favour, I'm leaving this place and never coming back" said Josh

With that Josh walked past all of us and left the house. Devin remained frozen in shock of his brother's outburst but I didn't care either it effected him or not. What he did to Josh wasn't forgiving, a brother should never treat a sibling like that. Hunter went to get the remaining boxes and placed them inside the car. As I remined inside glaring at Devin.

"I should rip your head clean off you bastard but I'm not gonna, it's not worth it. If you really loved Josh deep down then find a way to change and beg for his forgiveness. He's my mate, my lover and mother of my pup. I will not let him near you ever again, I know what you've done to him, the pain you've caused him. I went to hell and back to get him to open up to me, to not fear me because of you. Man up Devin, stop acting like a whining annoying brat and face your mistakes. He's all you got, a chance to have a happy with, a family to be exact but if you want to throw that away then I don't care.

If I ever, ever hear or find out you talk badly behind his back, I'll hunt you down and this time you won't wake up alive. I've had enough with you, I've been meaning to meet you and beat the sh*t out of you but your not worth it. I have a family to take care of and don't have time to deal with you. Hope you enough living alone" I said them walked out of the house. I got inside the car and we drove back to the pack house in silence.

I looked over to Josh and hugging him close letting him cry once again. I made a promise to myself to make sure Josh doesn't cry ever again.
