Chapter 130: Sister

Astrid’s POV

*

“Why didn’t you tell us that you’re coming. If you had said something, we would have prepared ourselves to face you,” Alpha Theron spoke with his broad shoulders slumped slightly.

Andros felt a surge of angry confusion, his brow furrowing as he realized the implication. “So you’re saying that it was my fault then?” he accused, his voice laced with a bitterness he had never before directed at his father.

“If only I had told you I was coming, you could have prepared yourselves?” Andros repeated.

The young man’s chest heaved with the weight of his emotions, the betrayal he had felt at the rumors now compounded by the realization that his own family had been keeping this truth from him.

“I rushed back here because I was worried, because of those rumors I had heard,” he spat, his eyes narrowing with a mixture of hurt and indignation. “Haven’t you thought that this wouldn’t happen if you had just told me about this before this rumors started growing?”

Alpha Theron’s expression softened. “Son, it was never our intention to blame you,” he spoke, his voice low and soothing.

“You knew about the rumors, you knew what was happening. You had all the time you needed, you had all the opportunities to come out clean to us and yet you didn’t. So don’t lie to me by saying that you did not want things to end up like this because you made everything end up like this!”

I turned my head away as I felt the weight of Andros’s words. My shoulders slumped as I stared down at my hands, a profound sense of shame washed over me.

I’m an illegitimate child – a mistake, a product of my parent’s indiscretion.

I never aked for this burden, to be included in the consequences of their infidelity.

And now, here I am, feeling like a home wrecker, caught up in a tangled web that is not of my own making. The irony wasn’t lost to me – my whole life I was made to feel unworthy, yet I somehow managed to inflict that same pain on another.

This is wrong, I shouldn’t have been here. My father had hurt me and my mother for abandoning us, and now he is hurting his children by choosing to reconnect with me.

I know all of these are not my fault, they were out of my control. I never wanted this, I never sought to cause any harm. I also have no power to undo the mistake of my parents.

I was simply an unwitting pawn, a victim in this matter very much like my half–siblings. However, I am at the burnt of their hatred and disappointments that should be pointed towards my parents.

Andros turned around with hands burrowed in his hair as the weight of his realizations dawned upon him. It turns out that the truth were even worse than the rumors he had heard.

“Now everything makes sense to me. Now I know why Asha looked and sounded different the last time we spoke through video call,” Andros spoke, making Alpha Theron lift his chin up in interest.

Andros heaveed a weary sigh, his brows creased with concern as his mind drifted to his sister whom he had left behind in their Pack. His heart clenched with regret and empathy for his poor sister who had to

He could only imagine the loneliness that Asha must have felt, the overwhelming sense of isolation as she navigated this new and devastating reality. Yet through it all, she never said a word to him.

She kept her lips sealed, never mentioning a word to him about this issue that must have been consuming

her.

No wonder why she was asking when he would come back.

“What did Asha tell you?” Alpha Theron asked.

Clearly, he was oblivious to what his daughter is going through. He had no idea of the thoughts that his daughter has been having because of this news.

“Where is she?” Andros asked, ignoring his father’s question. “I’ve been trying to reach her, but she wasn’t even answering. What happened to her?” Andros demanded as worry washed over him, as he thought of the depth of his sister’s suffering while he was away.

“She was grounded locked inside her room until she realizes her mistake.” Alpha Theron answered. “Grounded? What do you mean she’s been grounded?” Andros asked in confusion.

Alpha Theron has always been patient with his sister, rarely giving her any punishment. This is the first time that he gave a serious punishment for his sister.

Alpha Theron’s expression grew somber, a shadow passing over his weathered features. “Your sister left me with no choice,” he replied, his tone laced with a mixture of disappointment and regret.

“While I was away, she attacked Astrid and felt no remorse for it. Astrid even stood up to defend her, but she was ungrateful for it. I cannot let that kind of behavior go unpunished.” Alpha Theron explained.

Knowing how self–willed his sister is, Andros felt even more bad for his sister. If he had’t return, he wouldn’t have any idea of what was happening to his sister. He had to meet her and apologize to her.

“Whatever you are planning don’t do it,” Alpha Theron spoke firmly. “I grounded her for a reason Andros and she’s not allowed to connect with anyone outside until she admits her mistake.”

Since this punishment was given by the Alpha, Andros cannot disobey it. If he does, this will be considered rebellion against the Alpha.

Andros have already turned his back on them when his father’s words stopped him.

However, Andros was undeterred. He is going to see his sister no matter what.

“Then I’m ready to face whatever punishment you think I deserve, father. Asha has been waiting so long for my return. Now that I’m here, I’m not going to waste a second to meet her.” With that, Andros strode off, his steps fueled with worry over his sister.

Alpha Theron could only sigh at his son’s reply. Even if he wanted to punish his son for disobeying him, how could he?

As a father, he should be proud that his son is willing to take punishment just to be there for his sister.
