Rejected by My Kids' Father

"Katherine, it is time, don't let me repeat it a second time. "

I decided to ignore my brother's voice whose voice gave me a headache.

Louis screamed again, I considered that if I didn't want to thing gets worse, I'd do it now, not later.

Usually, he asks me to do something, but sometimes, I was too tired to ignore his words. And he usually does it himself, as a result, I must clean all the mess he made.

And I guessed that there was nothing worse than this because I'd already see through it. M y bed which I broke two weeks ago. And it is obviously too big. I didn't ask my brother for another because I already knew the answer to that. I didn't ask anything from him anymore because I couldn't depend on him too much that was what he quickly taught me after that.

I slowly walked downstairs and just walked into the living room. When my brother cast his always cold look at me, I felt a familiar strange feeling through my soul which made me afraid to look at him. There was hatred and anger that couldn't be ignored in his deep blue eyes.

I remember what it used to be. These eyes were filled with happiness and much love. Louis used to smile more, tell his joke more. Now he's emotionless and cold more. I knew that all the things were overshadowed by the darkness, and there is no more brightness in my life.

My brother Louis Morgan was my best friend and my closest family even if he was five years older than me. He gave me biscuits, sweets, and all I wanted with his own pocket money, even if I didn't use mine to buy something for him.

And I asked him to take me out with his friends, he wanted me to be alone and beg me to stay at home, but because of my tears, he never leaves me alone at home eventually.

Sometimes when we argued, he always be the one who apologize first and never hold grudges. All the things were perfect until I was twelve.

In the morning, I got a feeling that something bad would happen and I couldn't explain why. I tried to stay at home, pretending I was ill, but my father looked through me, my plan was wrecked.

After school, my best friend Hebe and I had to walk home. Hebe was talking about some boy that wanted to date with her. She may notice my bad mood, so she started to cheer me up.

Suddenly, her eyes were focus on something behind me. I waved my hands in front of her face to catch her attention. Hebe slapped my hand away, I tried to see what she was looking at, but she held my shoulders stopping me, this made me want to see more.

Her eyes snapped to mine, and her mouth was gaped open.

"I think we should come back home now Katherine, there is nothing happen. "she said.

There was nothing more than what I couldn't see, and I tried to turn around again, but Hebe held me determinedly.

I pushed her using all my strength, and curiosity killed the cat.

What I saw changed my whole life. I never saw what I saw. Maybe I should have just let her hold me and I could be happy forever.

I couldn't feel anything, just the sudden burn that rushed to my heart as my brain felt cold, spinning around. All I knew was that how sweaty my palms were and how dry my throat was. I wondered that whether I could hear my heartbeat.

I saw a man and a woman standing feet away from me. If they were anyone else, I would say what a beautiful couple in love. The woman had her arms wrapped around the man's waist looking up at him whilst he was staring down at her with so much love. And I couldn't be more familiar with her long blonde hair which was shiny as ever.

I watched they walked to the passenger side of the car standing and kissing. The man opened the door for her. She laughed and pulled him down for another kiss and then entered the car. I stood there seeing they drove off.

It really hurt me so. I would have smiled warmly if they were someone else. I had no idea who that guy was. I know exactly the woman that kissed the stranger was my mother. A woman I thought I knew, a woman who was married to my father, a woman who I called her mother.

Hebe stood next to me to comfort me, but this couldn't help me get rid of these mess.

All I knew is that my life changed forever.

I was so anger that my mother was married to my father who loved and supported her form bottom of his heart. I didn't know what to do. Just look what she did. I felt overwhelmed and I cried. I couldn't deal with this feeling which was messy and painful. Hebe just pulled me into her arms and tried to comfort me. I knew that was all she could do but I couldn't stop crying. She led me to her house because she knew that I didn't want to come back home to face all of these alone. I knew clearly that this would destroy my father and my brother who loved my mother so bad. So, I made a decision that would ruin my life and I should know it would be this much. I determined that I would to keep this ridiculous secret myself.

By the time I arrived at home, there were so many tears on my red face, I couldn't stop crying, because every image of my mother and that man would flash in my head, and it hurt me again.

When I arrived the front of door, I tried to take deep breath to relax myself, pretending nothing happened. But I underestimated how worried my father was about me, I didn't even enter my room before I was in his hug. The more he did, the more my eyes starting to burn with tears. I warned myself just clam down, don't cry again. But it didn't work.

I cried. I cried in my father's arm, I cried for my mother was cheating. I cried for my father didn't know this mess but loved her so. I cried for my brother thought that he had a responsible mother. I cried for myself knowing there was no more happy family. I was so regret that I turned back seeing this shit. Why I was the one who knew the truth.

"What's wrong? Are you cry for your date?" he asked.

I avoided his gaze. Because I felt guilty that I knew the secret and I couldn't tell the truth to him. I shook my head and bowed my head. I was afraid of telling the truth.

"I'll be there for you, and I am waiting for the time when you can tell me what's up, I'm wondering who hurt my little princess." he whispers.

The more he said, the more I felt like death by a thousand cuts.

"Mother..." I shut up my mouth, but it was too late. I didn't realize that I have said it out loud.

"Don't lie to me Katherine. Just tell me the truth." he said rising his voice.

"I can't dad! I can't. "I cried out pushing him away from me.

" Just tell me. I'm her husband, it is my right to know."

I thought he was right. He should know what happened. But I still kept quiet.

"I am about to call your brother and we may start a family meeting."

"No dad!" I screamed.

"I saw mum kissing a man." I said with despair.

I saw my father face changed, replacing the concern look with a blank one. I could see the pain in his eyes, and I really wanted to bear his burden. He just looked deep into my brown eyes making sure whether I was telling the truth.

Then I heard a sigh from him. shook his head. He walked to his coat, muttering something under his breath. Louis walked in at same time.

"Go to bed Katherine. Louis take care of her." My father says but he didn't look back to us.

"Where are you going dad?".

"For a walk." Then he was gone. And I didn't realize that it was the last time I saw him.

" Off to bed, do what father say." My brother said.

"Ok." And you will cry like me, even if you are a boy.

"And if this is something about date, you could give some advice." I knew he was joking but he pulled me into a tight hug. I was about to cry. He kissed my head and watch me go to bed.

"WAKE THE FUCK UP!"

The shouting took me by surprise, and sudden pain that rushed to my back made me moan out loud.

"What the hell Louis?" I asked.

" What the fuck did you do to father?"

"What do you mean?" I was confused that the manner he treated me.

"You'd better tell me the truth now. I don't want to hurt you."

"What did you tell dad?" he repeated again, I didn't know what happened, but his attitude made me nervous.

"You should calm down. "I tried to comfort him.

"DAMN! YOU EVEN DON'T KNOW! DAD IS DEAD!" he yelled loudly.

Seeing his dark blue eyes turned into dark cold purple and hatred was written in his eyes. These really hurt me the most, but I'd spent forever to know what he meant. My lung felt like they were compressed, quickly losing oxygen. I looked at him with my mouth opened, almost begging him to tell him he was joking. I even pinched myself making sure all of this wasn't a dream.

"What?" I couldn't believe what him said.

"Alpha said there are some rogues around, and I can't feel him no more. He's not in the territory." I have never seen my brother cry. I knew he was not lying.

"He can't be dead. No! I don't believe. He will be here later and come back just he used to be. Yeah...."

Louis shook my shoulder. He's nails dug into my skin. "DAD IS DEAD. I am not lying!"

My father is gone. I shouldn't tell him. It's my fault. I am the one to blame. I shouldn't let him walk out of that door. If I tell Louis the truth, whether he would walk out? Will he die like father and leave me forever? I can't tell him, I can't lose him anymore.

"I said...I told him...."

He just looked at me with tears in his eyes. He was waiting for me to say something.

"I can't tell you. I can't tell you" I repeated myself again and again.

He's eyes went cold, and his lips formed a sneer. "Fine! Keep your bloody secret. You're no longer my sister, I hate you. "he spat.

My vision blurred; my castle crumbled overnight. I felt like I was a crumpled-up piece of paper lying here.

Time won't fly, the tear, the pain. I never forget this day, the day I lost my father, my brother, my happy family. I'd never be the old myself, I lost her too, and she would never come back.

I stare the lovely day, the sun was bright, the sky was clear blue. It remains me of my father who loved days like this. I really miss him so much, we enjoyed the barbecue, we hanged out for a while. I wish he could come back home and said "I am back" waking me up from this nightmare.

I do the cleaning and the cooking. And my brother works to pay the bills, I have to do all the things like a housekeeper, but I don't care, it's not a big deal for me.

My brother acts like I don't even exist. I know he never forgive me because he never talks to me except ordering me to do something.

Having seen how cruel my brother is to me and people started to treat me differently too.

Because of his identity, future beta. It is reasonable for him to do everything.

It hurts that I'm not going to lie but I still to stand all of these. Devil roll eyes wishing me to tell him the true, but every time I remember the look on my father's face, I deny my idea.

I already decided that after I graduate, I will go to college and away from the Galaxy pack. To a place that none knows me, and I could restart everything, forgetting all the hurts.

I am on the way to a bench that I am always sitting on, just staring the sky, the sunset. To me, nowhere is the best way, I'd rather to be homeless.

When I walked closer to the bench, I felt my heart beating, he was there the one I knew.

It may be a crush or anything I don't know.

"Am I in your usual seat?" he said.

His voice is familiar sound, deep and soft. His hazel eyes glistened even brighter than the sunset, ringing the green circle around the pupils. And I was addictive to his eyes most.

The fact is that he is the most beautiful man I have ever seen. His dark hair, his beautiful tan skin, all details make me want they are mine. I know I am like an architect drawing up the plan.

It's not even about his looks, it's the fact that he's the future alpha.

"Umm yes." I noded.

I was so awkward. I felt bad that he even had to witness it.

"My bad." He replies getting up before I stopped him. Sometimes I just wanted to punch my mouth, there always was words that I held back.

"No, it's okay. The bench is big enough for both of us." He gave me a smile that could light up the whole pack and made space for me to sit.

No one spoke a word, just stared at the sunset, and I felt that I was seeing his eyes. It was tranquil and peaceful.

I have known Sean, he is my brother's best friend who the future Alpha of Stone for years. I used to follow him and, but it has been a while since I haven't seen him.

As I knew, he wasn't talkative, but he could say a lot using his eyes. He had never been rude to me or anyone, I thought he was the gentlest man in the pack. All of the person respect and like him. He is one of the few people that haven't treated me differently since my father's disappearance and Louis's hostile behavior. In fact, I think he is just indifferent to me, or he doesn't care about me.

But I was shocked when he asked, "You coming to my party?"

I shook my head, escaping his beautiful eyes.

"I didn't know you were having a party." I lied so I didn't have to answer his question.

His father would him the title this Sunday, and this day is my birthday too. I guessed he wouldn't care.

"Wish you were there." He sounded so gentle.

I blinked at him. How could I turn that way?

"Actually, I don't think I'm going to be there"

His eyebrows furrowed wondering why I wouldn't be there to support my brother. Louis would be a Beta at his party.

"I don't like the parties, so noisy." Sounded reasonable.

People all assumed that I was the one to blame, they wouldn't like to see me at the party. Maybe it was better if I had told him rather than keep the truth to myself.

"You can come to just help out. Don't have to join the party." Well Louis can't say anything.

I smiled then it quickly faded because I didn't have anything to wear.

"I don't know what to wear."

"I will send a suitable dress. Don't worry about that. "

"Okay, thank you." I whispered grinning.

Did I just get invited to one of the most important parties? Was I Cinderella?

I couldn't help smiling. Finally, I could wake up from the nightmare for a while.

I walked downstairs and try being normal of me marching downstairs. When I walked into the room. All the heads turned to face me, and I never felt embarrassed like this.

I froze in my step. Feet stuck in place and my heartbeat increased in speed. I knew my brother was annoyed. I shouldn't even show my face in front of his friends. It was allowed.

Everyone stopped and looked at me, the room was silent, and I believe that they could hear the sound of my heartbeat and my shallow breaths. I felt uncomfortable noticing that there were around 10 people there in the room. Including Louis's best friend, Sean.

"It is nice that you're here." Sean broke the ice by speaking.

The rest of the room looked at him like he did something weird. I wondered that was I new here, I've been living here for 18 years. I admitted that people don't usually talk to me, especially not Sean.

"Excuse me Alpha?"

"I brought you the dress for today." He waved his hands with a package.

I was confused firstly like everyone else then I remembered the dress was what he said when we talked last time. I quickly made my way to him ignoring my brother's ice gaze.

"Seriously? She is coming to the party?" One of the girls whispered.

"I thought you'd do better." Some boys joked but it really made me uncomfortable, but all I could did was put on my poker face.

"What are you thinking about?" Another girl asked.

A boy said nothing but showed a rude gaze.

"Will you all shut up?" Louis spoke out.

But those were all he said, I was in exile, and he didn't defend me like he used to be. Silence filled the room. Everyone's eyes were either on Louis, Sean, or me. I thought there was a bit of misunderstanding.

"I'm here to help." I explained.

Girls were jealous that I was there attending the party. I felt like if I told them why I was here, they would take it easy on me.

"Of course. We shoulda know that's the reason. None invite you anymore." A girl with blench blond said.

"Shut up Bonnie. No one asks your opinion." Was Sean protected me?

Bonnie looked embarrassed as her cheeks grow as red, but she rolled her eyes to me.

I did nothing! I should walk as fast as I can to upstairs, this was really not my thing.

"Thank you, Sean. " Without looked his eyes, I leaved as soon as possible.

Staring at myself in the mirror, I really wanted to cry. I wish that the mirror was lying to me. I... I was fat. I have no idea how I gained so much weight, maybe added few pounds. I barely eat because I am either busy doing my schoolwork or things Louis left me to do but at night, I stuff my face like I have never eaten before. And I when I was stressful or upset, I eat too. I t is a way to relax myself and comfort me. I knew it was unhealthy but at this point in my life, I don't care. But now I start to worry that will my mate ever accept me and love me?

You know when you are 18, this means that you could potentially find your mate. So, I could find my mate. I hoped that he could take me somewhere away from here like Romeo, and we could be alone and find another pack. We would walk in the forest and cook together. And have a babe taking it to the place where we used to hang around. I dreamt that my mate would take care me, comfort me and protect me. I kept waiting just founding these were my daydream. I didn't want to see myself anymore.

I had thought the solution to become fit and heathy, but Louis never allowed me to go outside to run except go to school or to buy groceries. It is obviously I don't see enough of Hebe. She is the only friend who knows the truth and hasn't left my side.

She will go to the party. Many times, she tried to tell my brother the truth but stopped her. It was enough that I was the one who broke heart. I won't tell Louis the truth now but maybe one day I will.

Even if Sean brought me a dress for his birthday party, I knew I wasn't the one who on the invited list. You couldn't find me in the dance floor, I would be serving drinks and other things.

2 hours before the party began, I took a quick shower and wore my red dress, which was so tight, I almost couldn't breathe. And I have to go there early and help the chef to get the party ready.

When I wore white flat shoes sitting on the bed, I heard the door downstairs slam shut. My heart was so mess that I didn't know what I should do. Thinking that whether it would be Loui, he might lock me to prevent me attending the party. I started to panic, thinking of all the escape route.

"Katherine my dear." A high pitch which was obviously from a woman.

I knew that voice which didn't belong to my dear brother nor my alpha Sean. It was the person I'm forced to call mum. Hearing her footsteps getting closer as she climbed the steps of the stairs. I could not help groaning loudly. She opened my bedroom door and I saw her huge grin on her face.

"You should have a nice way to greet your mother." She speaks still having that stupid grin on her face.

"You're not my mother. You don't deserve it." I speak.

"How could, my Kath-" I cut her off.

"Don't call my name. You make me sick." I whisper without giving her a gaze.

Her grin vanished and replaced with a hard serious look.

"How dare you! I'm still your mother. Show me your respect or I would have a talk with Louis. I think that your brother won't like to hear that Katherine's been a bad girl now, would he?" There she goes, acting victim again.

I passed her and walked out of the house without giving her any reply, I promised that I never stared others like the way I stared her, with hatred. I never hated anyone as much as I hated her. I would never forgive her as long as I miss my father!

I walked to the pack house where the party was gonna be taken place. I took a deep breath

noticing that the place was huge and luxury. The walls were painted blue, and the floor was white with gold shining.

I memorized where Sean told me to go. I needed to go to the hall to find few people, they would tell me what I have to do.

When I made it to the party hall however, there was no one around. The whole place was empty which was the perfect space to have a party. There were bar stools, private corners well known as the secret corners for dirty people and a dance floor, tables and chairs for the guest.

"Oh, look what I found, a little sheep." A voice said suddenly that made me lose my balance and I almost fell.

A boy with slick back hair and many tattoos glaze at me. And he has a pale skin which make his dark hair deeper and his tattoo more obvious.

"Are you going to work? Little sheep? " He asks me after few seconds of staring at each other.

" Where do I start?" I asked.

"Help the chef, you should have known." He says, throwing me an apron.

"Don't be scared little sheep, we are the same person. Just do what they asked. Don't you think it is interesting that it is their Happy Moment, but our Slave Day? "He laughed.

I stay quiet though.

Few people started to come with the sun setting and the sky getting darker. Time went and more and more people came filling the hall, most of them already came were either drunk or high. The dance floor was darkened but we are able to see each other.

I was pushed and pulled around but a hand on my arm. There were so many people in the dance floor that I couldn't see the person. I was suddenly dragged out the dance floor. I looked up to see my hero. It was the dark hair with many tattoos. The man who called me little sheep.

"Take care little sheep. That is not your area." He grinned.

"I-I didn't mean to go there. I just got lost." I didn't know why I was so nervous when I faced him.

"Come on let's serve more drinks. You could stay with me." He chuckled, touching my head with his hands.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I couldn't help asking.

He stopped walking but never turned around. I stood there, waiting for his to reply. At that moment the whole world was so quiet. Then he sighed, turning around, and said,

"Because we are the same, don't you remember what I said? My family disowned me just like yours." He stared at me straight and I read something in the eye.

"We are not same. I have my family!" I denied. "They did not disown me."

He just kept staring at me.

"Then why are you here drinking by yourself?" He left.

Leaving me in the middle of the party hall as people danced around me. But his voice echoed in my head, yeah, he was right, I'd been alone and still pretended.

"Move! Get out of the way!" Someone pushed me.

I didn't know what I should do, maybe I was the one who shouldn't be there. Look my identity, and I haven't shifted yet and my brother...So many voices in my head that I ran, pushing people out of the way. Running to anywhere my foot could take me. I was in the garden. I sat on one of the benches and cried to myself.

But something unexpected happened. I turned around as I felt someone behind me, in that moment, the music from inside slowly fading and everything else becoming blurry but him. Everything just stopped and I couldn't feel anything but him. His eyes with the hazel, and suddenly colors were flying around. Red, green, blue...colorful. I couldn't take my eyes off him. My mate. The Alpha on my pack starting from today, Sean.

I stared at him, and he did too, giving me the brightest smile. I never knew that I was so obsessed to him. Looking his hazel eyes, I reminded of the daylight, the golden daylight. His eyes were brighter than the moon.

He walked toward me closer then...he hugged me tightly, yeah, I was embraced by his huge hug. And I felt everything just stopped, colors weren't flying everywhere. I only felt him and saw daylight. To be honest, I was so shocked that Alpha was hugging me. I didn't know why he did this, and I was confused by what he said to me.

"Katherine, I missed you."

I pulled him away from me because I needed to make sure whether he was drunk, or his brain was alright. I looked into his eyed, then dropped to his nose, his lips, his whole face. And I notice than he was looking at my lips. I could see his eyelashes and every detail on his face that I wanted to make it mine.

Until his lips met mine, I didn't realize that our face was so close. He kissed me so desperately that he grabbed my legs and wrapped around his waist. I didn't know what to do but I felt I was beloved, for the first time, I was beloved by my Alpha. At this moment, I didn't want to think anything but enjoyed this feeling that beloved by him.

He pulled me away, Once I thought that this kiss was the ending and was disappointed. My Cinderella dream was broken, and I went back to the reality.

"Go to rendezvous." He says taking my hands and dragging me headfirst.

I didn't know how long we were walking but I remembered that we climbed stairs. We stopped and we arrived at our destination or as he said, rendezvous.

We kissed again like it was the end of the world and we hoped that the day could start as soon as possible.

He ripped my dress and his neat tux so roughly.

"You're beautiful, babe." He said running his hands through my hair and tried to comfort me.

I knew this and I did truly believe that I was beautiful like he said. I held his shoulders with my hands wrapped my legs around his waist. I got a feeling that we were meant for each other. Weren't we, my mate?

We hugged each other in the bed.
