AT HOME (TWO WEEKS LATER)
NICK
It's been two weeks, we all have been constantly searching for Rose, but it feels like she vanished into thin air . My father is still mad at me, he blames me, being an elder sucks. Thankfully my mother understand that it's not my fault.After what Uncle Josh told it's suspicious that they are kidnapping both humans and werewolves kids. I never thought that something would happen to my one and only sister.
"Stop shedding tears, it's not your fault go talk to your dad he's not angry at you anymore, he understands" I wiped my tears which were trickling down since when I don't know.
After all that's what I needed, Dad to understand me,I went to have a conversation with my dad.I entered the room, my dad looked tired even though he had strands of white hair, which were never there before. Silly me I never know his age, as werewolves live longer than humans.
"Dad I'm sorry" I bent my knees.
"Boy if this isn't your fault then you shouldn't be hiding, now stop acting like guilty one" he sounded angry and I shivered in fear.
"Dad I can't… what if she's in trouble?" I whispered.
"Really boy, what do you think we all are feeling, are you the only one worried about her, you should be by my side and giving hope to your mother and brothers, you shouldn't even pretend giving up in front of them,look after the family while I'm not here..." he shouted and felt that I would've lost my hearing if my mom hadn't stopped him.
His wolf was in pain and on the verge of coming out, I never saw his wolf once in my life. He rarely shift into his wolf, even if he did my mind recall.
"Dad I won't disappoint you" I said and closed the door behind me.
As I was about to open Alex's door, I heard frequent and loud knocking on the door. Before I could've opened the door dad had already opened it and led a couple inside who looked the same age as my parents.
"Hey Chris, what brings you here, is that a surprise, you should've informed us" dad said while hugging.
"Hey Helena, it's been a long time" mom came out of nowhere and hugged the women.
As dad closed the door, I tried to ask him who they were. He stopped me immediately and warned me not to use my super hearing or even try to hear their conversation.I walked back upstairs. The only thing I heard was sobbing which was probably of aunt Helena and it caught my attention, obviously something really suspicious was going on and dad really loved to keep me in the dark like always.
I entered Alex's room and found him wearing headphones and listening to songs while closing his eyes. I slowly moved his shoulder, he opened his eyes and looked at me, he looked shocked, after all I never came to his room for the last five years, I'm still distant from everyone, I shrugged my thoughts as he gave me a questioning look.
"Am I dreaming, what made you come here, did they find her?" he asked all the questions at once.
"We had a lead but still we haven't, don't worry she'll be back" I tried to hide my worry.
"What seriously, I never once in my life spent a day without her, now she's gone and you're so relaxed,dad won't allow me to get involved, he thinks I'm weak, how do you even do it, don't you care about her" finally he let it all out.
"Hey calm down, it's not like what you're thinking, she's my sister too and I care about her like you all do, sometimes you've to hide your emotions so you won't break down in front of the people you care about" I squeezed his shoulder gently.
"Don't touch me Nick, you never cared,you never will, you are rude and angry, the person who only care about himself" his face looked emotionless.
I hugged him as he tried to punch me continuously on the chest and pushed me away. I grabbed his hands carefully. He started crying loudly and stopped struggling with me, I stayed still and tried hard to hold back my own tears.He stopped struggling after few minutes, smile formed on my lips and I felt a little bit relaxed.
"Hey don't worry, we'll get her back, and you know even the police are searching for others too, those who kidnapped Rose are kidnapping humans too, so it'll be a matter of time she'll be back, so I need you to be strong alright" I said while grabbing his shoulders.
" I must say you better stay like this, I don't like old, angry and rude side of yours" he said.
"I'll try my best" I assured him.
I left his room and heard Mom shouting my name,what mom told me was unbelievable. Aiden, my brother who was adopted by uncle Chris and aunty Helena, was kidnapped too when they were staying at one of the hotels here. And he was kidnapped a day before Rose. My mind blanked for a second and I took hold of the chair to process all the information.Of course that were my parents best friends, I haven't seen them after I was 7 year.
My parents warned me not to tell anyone about this except for Jack.I immediately left the guest room and punched the wall for minutes in rage. I stopped when someone squeezed my shoulder, my eyes widened when I realized it was Jackson.
"Hey Nick what happened, who are they and what did they say, did they find her, why are you like this, tell me damn it" he glared.
I narrated the same thing my parents told me and I saw disbelief in his eyes, suddenly his expression changed and his eyes turned black and his face become emotionless and then his face expression changed to painful.
"What the hell man? This is not good, they are kidnapping both humans and wolves. This is something else, I'm having bad feelings about that, we should hurry before we lose them both" he nearly shouted.
"To hell with our misunderstanding and fights, and we can't stay like that forever, we need to cheer up our little brothers, move your lazy ass" he continued,I stared him in disbelief, since when did he started to utter words of wisdom.
" forgive me man, I never wanted to say those harsh words to you" I apologized.
" What the heck,is Nicholas the great asking for forgiveness, it'll be my honor to forgive you sir" he laughed while tapping my back. Here he comes back to his old self.
We both went to Alex's room he was sitting at the side of his bed on floor, still wearing headphones, We decided to tickle him, until he burst into laughter.
"stop it guys" he screamed.
"God... you scream like girls" I shouted while controlling my laughter.
"What are you both trying to do?" mom shouted out of nowhere.
"We are dead" I whispered to Jack as we both let Go Alex's hand together.
"Well that was unexpected, seeing my boys together without fighting with each other and seriously you both were tickling him" she smiled warmly and Alex smirked.
"Your dad called you both,better hurry before he loses his patience" she said while sitting with Alex.
We both sprinted downstairs, obviously don't want dad's anger to burn the house down. He tugged at me playfully before entering the guest room and all of the sudden I felt angry damn it I need to control my anger and wolf, I pushed my wolf back in my mind and walked with him. As I was about to open the door he pulled me back and I nearly fell down.
"What the hell man?" I whispered in anger.
"See that's what I saw coming earlier, what's going on with you bro?" he asked.
"It's nothing, see I don't want to ruin the things that worked out between us after years" I replied and sighed while sitting on a chair.
"Okay I get it, you know mom is worried about you too, because you stopped opening up to her since last two years, you need to spit it out or it'll eat you from inside and you'll be an emotional empty shell that's it" he said while sitting beside me. Here he go again saying all sensible stuff.
"I don't have guts to say it all at once, it's not that easy" I said while holding my head in my hands and tried to shrug off my anger.
"What seriously, where is all that coming from, I thought you were strong, care to share why are you like that" he asked.
I looked at his face, on which only concern was written and It melted my heart for few second, my brother really did cared after all these years, I've trying to show him indirectly that I don't hate him, finally he got it.
"Look, can we not discuss this right now, I'll tell you when I am ready, don't worry" I assured him.
"Okay I won't insist you, we are your family, we don't want you to get hurt, just don't keep us in the dark" he replied and I relaxed.
"Thanks for understanding, and remember dad was calling us both" I smiled.
Before we could open the door, dad opened and glared at us.
"Well I'm proud of you both, at least you acted like brothers, you better stay like that till we found your sister, she'll be very happy" he smiled and which left me in complete shock.
"Well that was his new side ain't it?" Jack tried to irritate me through the mind link.
"I hope we stay like this forever" he chuckled.
"Until I don't end up killing you..." I shot back.
"If you both have ended your conversation with your mind links, come here" uncle Chris cut us off.
"Okay so the thing is that, as you know they have kidnapped both human and werewolves kids from our town, we should find them in a month before it's too late, we have lead but those kidnappers are more clever than we expected, they change their location every time they get a hint that they are being followed, and maybe they are planning for something dangerous, we should hurry before we lost them both" he said in a breath.
"Shut your damn mouth Chris, if you say a word about losing them, I'll tear your throat out I don't care if you're my best friend's husband, don't say it again, don't you care about Helena look at her" mom lashed out and my eyes widened.
Dad pulled her back as she growled furiously . I looked at Jackson who was already about to faint. We have never seen our mom that much angry, besides aunt was still crying.
"Calm down izzy stop scaring poor friends of yours, he's right we need to hurry" dad tried to control his laugh.
"Don't tell me to calm down, if something happens to my children I'll never see your face, you don't want me to get involved in it, don't you care about it" she growled again.
" You sound like they're only your kids,calm down, That's why me and Josh left our homeland, so that our children don't get involved in those fights" he grabbed her hand and rubbed it as she started to cool down.
"Call your uncle Josh and tell him we have an emergency, he needs to come here with his family, tell him I said that, it's better thay all the kids stay at one place" dad told Jack and he nodded and left.
"And you stay home with others and don't leave till me and your uncle are not here and don't leave without telling me or your mother" he warned me.
"Izzy, why don't you and Helena take a rest until we discuss the things" he gave a knowing look to mom after looking at aunt.
As my mum left, my phone vibrated and I saw my friend Jason's name on caller ID, who was from "WHITE FANG" pack, one of the most powerful packs. I excused dad and came out immediately.
"What the hell man, I told you not to call at this time" I whispered.
"Don't hang up, I know your sister and brother got kidnapped, a few kids from my pack got kidnapped too and dad doesn't want me to get involved that's why I need your help" he said.
"Come over at my place in an hour" I told him and hung up before he could say anything else.
I told my dad when uncle Josh arrived, about Jason having information about the kidnappers. They all agreed which relaxed me more than anything. I discussed the whole situation with David.
One hour later…..
I pulled Jason inside as he arrived, I took him directly to my dad, where he was waiting for him patiently. As he told my dad he's from the "WHITE FANG" pack , both of my uncles and dad looked furious and they refused from taking his help.
Me and David looked shockingly at each other and left the room with Jason, before it happened.I asked Jason if his dad knows my dad and uncles but he refused because he doesn't have a clue about their behavior. I apologized and told him to keep me updated about everything. He left assuring me that he'll update me about everything.
After all my dad and uncle's behavior was weird, they were tense after hearing Jason's pack name. They tried hard to hide their uneasiness but me and David caught it. And they warned us to cut all ties with Jason like it was that much of an easy task for us. We were shocked and decided to find out about it after Aiden and Rose are back…
