Chapter 4 - 4. (GUILT)

ROSE

Mom was still shouting at Nick to stop, but he didn't  listen to her rather than closing the door with bang. Dad ran after him while my mum called my uncle and told him everything. I stayed at my position, tears were trickling down my cheeks and I felt ashamed of calling my own brother a monster still I was thrilled to the core.

My head became heavier than before and my legs felt numb, it was too much for me to take in. I wish I should've died before knowing the truth. But now I can't do anything. Everyone had already left me in my room except mom , I tried to relax my legs and washed my face. My eyes were itching because of crying way too much. I heard mom talking on the phone with my aunt. I slowly came out and said,

"Mom I'm sorry, I was afraid of him, I'm sorry".

"I wasn't expecting this from you, now you better stay in your room till I call you, your dad and uncle went after him, they'll be back in no time, now you be careful with what you say" she warned and closed the door.

God why does everyone blame me for everything, I throw myself at my bed and stare at the roof. I hadn't even taken one breath of relief that again someone came in to disturb me, I rolled my eyes while sitting on my bed, as I saw Alex come in and my face light up.

"Rose, dad told me everything happened and he told us that we are freaking werewolves, how is this possible?" he sighed while throwing himself beside me on bed.

"It's better to accept the truth, or else we'll be in trouble later" I said while squeezing his shoulder.

"Why it's not that easy Rose, I can't handle it" he said and his eyes started to get glossy.

"It's not going to work out like that Alex, you need to be strong, see I'm getting blamed for everything now, don't want you to end up like me" I said while hitting him on his shoulder.

"After all I'm not the only one" he chuckled.

"Yes, that's the brother I know, and please close the door," I said.

When he left, my head started to ache horribly. How am I going to face those people out there with this secret inside me? My life has completely become miserable.

"Rose come down" I heard my mum shouting.

I walked  out of the room, before I had to face mom's anger. Oh my God, it's so embarrassing everyone is down there, how will I face them. As I reached the last step of the stairs, everyone except Alex started giving me weird looks like I was the one turned into a mighty black wolf.

"Yes mom" I said slowly while rubbing my hands.

"Sit here," she said while giving me a warm smile.

Well that was totally unexpected, I appreciate myself for not losing my voice for the first time in front of my mom.

"Your uncle and your dad went after Nick, he went into forest across the borderline of our society, and I'm warning you all again that never ever think about going in the forest alone, just like now you all know what we are we have a lot of enemies out there, but your uncle and dad are well trained so they can fight anyone together, now I don't want anyone to ask any questions when the time is right we'll answer all of your questions and confusion, is that clear?" mum said while giving us an angry look.

"Yes," Jack said while looking at all three of us.

Suddenly the door opened and dad came in, his hair was covered in mud, I walked hurriedly towards the door to see if Nick was with him.

"Step aside, let Nick come inside" dad said while pulling me to his side.

As I stepped aside a black wolf jumped in, and my heart nearly stopped beating for a few seconds. Damn, he's so big, nearly the size of a horse, he looked at me and slowly started coming towards me and I tried to hide behind dad.

"Nick get away from your sister, I swear if you touch her hair, I'll tender your ass," mom shouted.

"Stop scaring him Isabelle, you know he won't hurt her" uncle josh said while closing the door.

"That was so hard to get him into the car, now we have to wash the car too, especially the back seats, thankfully no one watched us" dad said while laughing.

"You Come with me" mom said while pointing her finger at Nick and he obeyed her while keeping his head down like a well trained puppy.

I sat on the couch while gaining my strength to apologize to Nick. As mum went to the basement I sprinted behind her before dad could stop me. After all, I'm not afraid of him anymore, he's my big brother. I opened the basement's door and saw mum closing the door of the cell. She gave me a warm smile instead of getting angry, maybe she figured out why I was here.

"Why is he tied to chains?" I asked shockingly.

"It's for his safety and for others too, if he loses control these chains will hold him back, if he tries to break out of the cell" mum explained.

"And don't do anything reckless, because I'll not take you upstairs if you faint again" she glared while going upstairs.

That shitty door didn't open, I diverted my mind and looked at my brother and slowly opened the door, he growled at me without moving and gave me a murderous look. I took a few steps while neglecting his growls. I slowly reached out for his head and started rubbing it smoothly. I nearly dazed, his fur was  soft as silk.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said, I'll never call you a monster again, the truth was so heavy and I couldn't bear it, I got scared that's it, you're my brother I can never hate you" I said while taking my hands off his head.

He stopped growling and looked at me. I rubbed his head again and thankfully this time he didn't growl.

"Get away from him, what do you think you're doing,he might hurt you" mum shouted out of nowhere.

"Mum he won't hurt me, that's what you said earlier right, he didn't hurt me, I was apologizing" I said while walking towards mum.

As I reached mum's side I heard cracking and I jumped in shock, his bones were cracking one by one and he howled in pain.

"Hurry up, get his clothes, he's changing back" mum said.

Without wasting a second I left the cell and ran towards his room. As I came back dad and uncle were already there I handed them clothes and stood beside mum. After a few minutes dad and uncle were holding him and he looked pale and weak, I couldn't see his eyes. I felt ashamed about what I said earlier. They took him to his room while his legs gave out and he nearly fell thankfully he didn't fall, or he'll be rolling down the stairs. When uncle and dad came out of his room. I walked towards his room and as I was about to enter...
