NATHAN'S POV.

Beads of sweat rolls down my forehead as I stare down at my feet, scared that he might make another comment on how miserable I am.

"took you long enough," my father says, or rather my foster father chirps in.

"I was up in my room I ran as fast as I could to get to you, I checked for …".

"no one needs your silly excuses" he cuts into my words, stunning me like I had never mattered to him.

"You've always been a weakling, nothing like your mother and I, having to put up with you and place you as my son in public had been the most disgrace to me" he yells out loud, even when I had done not even a single thing wrong.

"I… That's…" I stutter, finding the right words to say stuck deep in my throat.

"That's all about to change now," he says as he throws a file at my feet, he adjusts his glasses, pushing them slightly above the bridge of his nose.

I pick up the file unsure of what to do with it, knowing well one single mistake and hell be down breathing on my neck.

"I found my true son, well I figured I had messed around back in the days and I had been searching for him for last few years" he explains.

He coughs slightly before pinning his eyes back on me.

"I guess the moon goddess had seen how much I suffered and blessed me so well, my son had been right under my nose without me knowing" he retorts with great joy.

I flip open the file to my greatest shock, I feel my whole body go numb and my knees weak, for a second I lose the balance of my stance and my eyes go all blurry.

I flip on continuously reading each line with caution till it gets to the last page, I raise my eyes to meet with my father, and all he has is a smirk plastered to his face,

He could not care less about any of these,

"Lucas is your son?" I ask as if seeking redemption from his answers, my voice betraying me by coming out cracked, I can't believe all I read.

"Exactly my point, I could not believe it either, my true son was right under my nostrils for years and I had to make do with you, it had been one of my worst mistakes" he stops speaking, observes my countenance.

A grin crawls up for the sides of his lips, he seems to be satisfied with how miserable I am at the moment.

"I sent news to his parents as well and they are both happy to be doing a greater good by giving him back to me, a breakfast would be held tomorrow his parents will be visiting as well as your mother I and you"

He doesn't say a word after, he diverts his attention back towards his laptop, I feel my legs fixed to a spot before finally moving out the door.

I walk past the corridors and out toward the manor way past the garden, I need to be alone, I need silence, I need a moment to reflect on it all.

How is this possible? All my life I've done nothing Other than satisfy the man, his silly needs, and high expectations. The one reason I kept my relationship with Lucas hidden was because I knew how much my father demanded perfection.

But now, everything had taken a drastic turn, my boyfriend is his son as soon will replace me in the pack, all of this makes absolutely no sense to me and yet I can't deny the fact that I had read concrete evidence.

I know certainly my father would not make a mistake at such a thing, I pull out my phone from my pants before dialing Lucas's number.

It rings a couple of times and he ends the call,

A text notification pops up and I feel relieved instantly to see it's coming from Lucas.

"I'm having fun right now, I might have to bail on us tonight ill make it up to you" he texts back, with couple of love emojis.

At this point I'm torn between emotions, these last few weeks he had been fading away from me and now my whole life which I had worked so hard for would be passed down to him 

I feel tears trickle down from my eyes to my cheeks, I feel sick and an ache in my heart, he does not love me anymore and like this is not enough he is the real child to my parents.

How am I to explain that he and I had been having sex for years now, will he take on the offer of replacing me it would he turn it down, how will his parents really react to us being lovers?

Lucas had always been the free one, how is my father fine with his loose attitude and reputation which he had quite made for himself in the pack.

The more I think about the odds, chances, and after effects of all these the more the tears stream down from my cheeks.

My whole life had been a lie and I knew about it, yet I worked hard to make it come true and it's falling into the hands of another.

I hear footsteps and I try wiping off the tears in haste.

"oh, so you do cry as well," the voice asks, I raise my eyes to meet with hers and it turns out to be the one person I loathe the most, Laura.

"what…" I stop, pausing my words,

There is something different about her, or rather should I say from me,

I feel her strong scent hit my nostril, I've

 Never felt more pleased with anything in my life,

I stand, matching her height, I reach for her arms subconsciously as I feel my whole world is drawn to her.

"MATE!" I HEAR MY WOLF CALL OUT TO HER.
