Chapter 62

Axton POV

Khan was restless inside me. Worried she would leave again, yet also upset because she was mad about him mark- ing her. Eli ordered takeout for a late-night snack/dinner for me, and I was just retrieving mine and Elena’s when Luke wan- dered into my kitchen. I don’t know what happened with her father. Louise has done nothing but cuss me out, and Elena remains tight-lipped. Grabbing two cans of coke from the fridge, I set them on the counter, only to find the kid still watching me.

“I want to see my sister,” the tiny Alpha demands. I raise an eyebrow at him. His dark hair was a mess on his head. His pajamas wrinkled, and blood coated his hands still. My brows furrow, knowing Eli told them to use the bathrooms here to clean themselves up. Yet, for some reason, Luke hadn’t both- ered.

Reaching back into the fridge, I find a can of lemonade and offer it to him. He stares at my hand like it might bite him before accepting it. “Did you eat your dinner?” I ask him. He nods his head. “I want to see my sister.” I sigh, grabbing some forks.

“Fine, I’ll let you see her. But I want you to tell me what happened with your father first.” I tell him, leaning on the counter. Luke turns his head to the door, clearly seeing if his mother is within earshot.

 

“You won’t tell my mom I told you?” He asks. I shake my head. “You tell me, and you can help me carry food up to my level, and I’ll let you see Elena.” I tell him. He chews his lip and fiddles with the can tab. Reaching over, I take it from him, cracking the lid and handing it back. I watch as he takes a sip,

“Mom filed for divorce. He locked her in the basement.” He tells me. I blink at him, shocked at what I’m hearing, when Khan adds his two cents worth. “Like you can judge, you have our mate locked in our room and, before that, locked in that shitty apartment!” Khan snarls at me.

I growl at him and Luke jumps but surprisingly doesn’t run. “I wasn’t growling at you.” I tell him, he stares at me ner- vously as if he doesn’t believe me. “Then what happened, that seems extreme that your father would risk locking her up con- sidering the pack is actually hers.”

Luke’s brows furrow in confusion, and I realize I may have let more slip than he knew of. “What do you mean?”

“Now you’ve done it!” Khan hisses at me. I internally groan.

“Your father married into her pack, her father had the same prejudices as your dad about women running packs and being Alpha.”

“But my dad is an Alpha?” I nod my head.

“Yes, but a disgraced one. His pack abandoned him. True, he is Alpha born, but his own pack stripped him of his title. and abandoned him. Then he met your mother and her father handed the pack to him when he marked her mother, forced his own daughter to submit to him.” I inform him. Luke sips his drink thoughtfully.

“So my mother was supposed to be the original Alpha?” He questions. I nod at his words.
