Questions that hurt

Lucas

"Silly boy, now you've done it," My father stops me as I try to walk out of the house. He has a way of springing up at me unannounced.

I take a deep breath as I stride back to the living room. He is seated on the couch--alone. The tv is on but I don't know what he is watching.

'Hello Father," I try to remain calm.

The meeting with the council just ended and now I have to address the situation with my pack.

I still haven't told anyone about my plans and that Is mostly because I do not know who I can trust. Maybe I can trust my beta or my advisor. At least they should be the ones that I would turn to but if my own father can betray me, I will not be surprised by anyone else.

"Do not hello father me, boy. You have been failing as an Alpha. Leaving your pack in the midst of an attack."

I take steady breaths.

I need to calm down or I might just end up saying something I would regret.

"I never left the pack."

He scoffs "Where were you then?"
