Listening to Fiona's words, Derek turned to look at his father and asked:
" It's not some kind of pain tolerance training, right? Right? "
" No, not really, your sister is just exasperating it too much, we're just gonna spar a little and do some other small things. " Kyle said, with a reassuring smile.
Derek looked between his father and Fiona, ' Whatever, since I have to do it, there's not much use thinking about it. '
' Also with how much he cares about us, his family, he won't do anything too excessive right? ' Derek tried to calm his heart.
...
[ Flashback ]
When Derek was thirteen, one day he returned home with a bruised face.
" Derek, what happened to your face? " Kyle asked.
" It's nothing dad, I just had a little quarrel with someone at school. " Derek replied, as he began to walk towards his room.
" Tell me, which son of bitches did it? " Kyle roared.
When he looked closely, he saw a blood stain on his shirt. Then, he almost lost his mind and in a rage shouted.
" Jo, bring out the guns, we're going to humble those little bastards and their parents. " Kyle said to his assistant.
Then, a man with an expression-less face in a black suit, walks out of the room: " Sir, are these enough or should I take the bigger ones too? " he asked showing the rifles and pistols.
" They are good enough, let's go. " Kyle said and began to walk out.
" Dad!! You don't even know who did it. " Derek said from behind.
" Don't worry, son, finding that is a piece of cake. " Kyle said without turning back.
*DING*
His phone rang, indicating the arrival of a message, pulling out his phone he reads the content and spoke: " Look we already got the names of those bitches, just wait here son, I'll be back in a minute. "
" No, you can't do that and this is not even my blood, the other boys were all badly injured and their parents took them to hospitals. The teachers asked me to bring my parents to meet them. " Derek said, wondering whether his father would be angry for beating others so badly.
" Hahahaha, as expected of my son, you don't disappoint me at all. Jo, take a picture of him, we'll keep it as a memento of today. " Kyle said.
After that he went to meet the teacher, at first the teacher wanted to scold both Kyle and Derek, but by the time the meeting ended, he was apologizing to them instead.
When Derek or Fiona did something troublesome outside, he would not get angry and just laugh it off. But sometimes he would get angry at the smallest of things like one time Derek accidentally made a hole in his shoe and Kyle didn't talk to him for a whole week.
In the outside world, Kyle is a merciless man who wouldn't hesitate to beat a man half to death, but to his children and wife, he is the kindest person.
But now that Derek knows he is a werewolf and the head of one of biggest family, it's obvious that he must've also killed many people.
...
" So, when are we gonna start? " Derek asked, as memories from his childhood came back to him.
" We're going there just after eating some food, that's why I called you here. " Kyle replied and took his seat at the dining table.
" Derek, you have met Susan by now, right? So, what do you think of her? " Rose asked, as she brought food from the kitchen.
Derek sniffed the tasty smell and replied: " She is a bit weird, but seems nice. "
" Do you like her? " Fiona asked, jumping into the conversation.
" I don't even know her properly, and we've only met a few times, how could I already be in love with her? " Derek replied while serving himself.
*CLICK*
" Alright, I sent what you just said to her, good luck handling her. " Fiona said and placed back her phone back in her pocket.
"..."
Derek jumped from his seat and lunged towards her mobile, spilling a glass of water on the table.
But unfortunately, he failed miserably, Fiona was much faster than him, it's been a few years since she had awakened. After training for such a long time, she was a lot stronger than Derek.
" Fiona, Derek, sit down and eat your food. " Rose said in a low voice.
Instantly, both of them sat down in their chairs and began to eat their food silently. Derek looked at Fiona, already forming a plan in his mind to retaliate.
Since they were young, Derek and Fiona have always been like that, they would joke with each other but cared a lot about one another.
*RING*
After Derek finished eating, his phone rang, then checking it out he found out that it was Susan who called him.
" It must be Susan, right? She must have a lot to say to you. " Fiona said with a teasing smile.
She had known Susan since she awakened and knew how she used to stalk her brother. But she wasn't the only girl who did that, there were others, just like her.
Picking up the call, Derek placed it on his ear.
" Cupcakes, let's meet, come to the Morty's ice cream cafe now. Bye. "
*CLICK*
"..."
Derek stared at his mobile, then at his sister, after sighing out loud he asked his father.
" Dad, can I first go and meet her? "
" Yes definitely, you should go. She's your mate after all and will hold an important part in your life. " Kyle replied, encouraging him.
" By the way, Dad, how long this training of yours is going to last? " Derek asked, as he moved to wash his hands.
" Three months maybe, at least three months, yeah. " Kyle said, a little uncertain.
" Wh-? " Derek halted in his movement and looked at his father, stunned.
" Even my training lasted three months, if you do better than me, you'll have to stay there even longer. " Fiona said with a serious expression.
"..."
