Chapter 39

Masha

No words came out from my mouth when I saw the face of the man who came in with Lee, Shanna and Mikee. I know, I should have said something. Anything. But my mind become blank, while my throat grew tight as if I'm choking.. And breathing become painful for me.

"You've gotta be kidding me!"

Lo's voice pitch is higher than normal, while his grip on my waist tightened. But the growing anxiousness that I'm feeling didn't go away, it even grew worse.

My knees turn weak, and I know that I might have fall if not for Lo's tight hold on me.

"Oh God, Masha..baby!" Lo's voice is frantic, as he held my waist and slowly lead me on the room while he help me to lie down on the couch.

"Louis he's panicking.." I heard Mikee exclaim, with somewhat fear in his voice. And that is definitely weird coming from him. I know Mikee, and he usually didn't get scared that easily.

"Just let him lie down, it will pass.." I don't know who said that but the voice is gentle. Then suddenly I felt a warm hand over my forehead. Brushing the hair away from my face. Looking ahead beneath my hazy eyes, I saw the man before who exactly looked like me. He's looking down at me gently, with watery eyes and soft smile.

The man definitely looks like me. As if we're twins or something like that. But he doesn't have brown hair like what I have before nor the red hair that I have now. His hair has the rich color of silver, which is long and silky, almost down to his waist. While his eyes is red almost like a ruby glittering brightly, and adorning his face.

However, despite that small differences, it can not hide the fact that everything about his face looks the same as mine. The shape of his nose, the cheekbones, the dimples... There's no doubt about it, that this man is related to me in some way or another.

And surprisingly enough, that thought make my breathing more calm while I study his face more closely, as he gently brushes my hair.

"I think, you should stop now. You don't have the right to touch my mate.. " I suddenly snap out of my thoughts when I heard Louis voice as he came behind the man to shove him away but my eyes grew wide when Lo's body were suddenly thrown on the air, and hung there in midair. As if he is tied by an invisible rope or something.

"Keanu, stop it! You know that we came here to ask some favor to the man you just throw...and God, can you put him down!!" Someone scream so loud, almost rattling the windows.

"Oh just shut up, little brother.. Can't you see that your scaring them with your loud voice.. And for that asshole, he should be thankful that I didn't broke his bones for mating with this boy!!" He barked angrily, earning a collective chuckles from everyone. Even Louis mother who just came in, is laughing with the others as they watch Lo frantically struggles on midair.

Slowly sitting up, I can't help but giggle when I saw Lo fought hard on coming my way, but his moves make him look like a fish swimming through the air.

The man, who looks like me, who is called as Keanu smile down at me and ruffle my hair. "I think you are my son.."

His voice is soft and gentle, but for me the words that came from his is not. Its like a sharp blade that suddenly stab my heart. Quite painfully...

My breathing hitch, while I felt my body trembles as I scoot away from his touch...

All this years, I never knew nor wanted to know who my real father and mother are. And even though I do not hate how my life turned out, there is still a part of me wishing that I have a normal family.

That I have normal parents that will always love me no matter what. Who will take care of me, everyday. That will always be there to keep me safe and secured.

But no. There's no one. I am abandoned since I'm an infant. Left by someone outside the door of the orphanage where I grew up until a group of scary looking man abducted me. Brought me to the black market and sold as a sex slave.

All those times, I always wished that I have my parents with me. Because if they were there with me, maybe I wouldn't have experienced something like that.

That I won't have suffered, and won't be as broken as of now.

That I'm still as innocent as every 16 year old boys should be.

I shook my head, erasing those thoughts in my head. But the emotion that it brought, is too much for me to handle. And after a long time of supressing the pain that I always lock in my heart, the walls within me finally broke. Waves of different emotions filled me. And I felt my lower lip quiver, while the tears suddenly fall from my eyes. "No...no... No!"

I growled bitterly, my voice is shaking while I slowly stood up and back away from him.

"You're not my father!"

Gasp filled the air. And the people around me starts to whisper with each other. But I don't care. Because for me, he doesn't deserve to be my father after all this years.

"After abandoning me for 16 years, you have the courage to tell me that I am your son! I hate to broke it to you old man but you are not my father, and you will never be!" I spat, angrily.

Pain etched on his beautiful face, while he slowly walk towards me. His right hand is clutching his chest while he look at me pleadingly. "Yes, I am. And it might be hard to accept it now, but you are really my son."

"Stop it! I don't want to hear anything!" Then to my surprise, warmth suddenly engulf my whole body. I grew rigid, and starts thrashing around while I fought the arms that holding me tightly.

"Baby, its me.. Don't worry.. I'm here.." I instantly felt calm when I heard Lo spoke. " I think its best for you to go and leave.." Lo sternly spoke.

"But, I want to talk to him. To my son." The man plead. And hearing his voice shook something within me.

"Keanu, come on. We need to go." Someone called.

"Liam, I can't just leave. After learning for the first time that I have a son.. All this years..I.."

My body tense, while hundreds of questions swirl inside my head. Moving away from Lo's arms to look at the group who are already walking out the door. I hobble towards them, "Wait!" I called out loud, stopping them from stepping out of the door. "What do you mean, for the first time? You didn't know that you have a son? All this time."

Keanu, turn around and look at me intensely. But before he can utter a word, someone spoke before him.

"I also want to hear about that Keanu. I don't even know that you have a girlfriend before. Care to explain about that.."

----

Keanu

Uh huh..

I know that, I'm in so much trouble when I felt the anger that lacing Liam's every words. Although, I'm happy that the boy finally spoke to me it doesn't change the fact that my brother will going to be so furious with me once he learned about everything.

"Make it quick Keanu. I know that these guys already knew about the other werewolf packs that coming this way. We don't have much time..." Liam demand. Again.

I scoff and glare at him.

"Other packs coming here? For what??" The red head boy asked, rather cutely. Tilting his head on the side, and looking at the cocky bastard of a mate that he has.

"Just don't worry about it Masha.. Josh and the others are already making their preparation.." Louis, the boy's mate exclaimed. And to my disappointment he is also the Alpha of this pack. Think about being unlucky.

But coming here, and meeting Masha my son, well probably make everything worth it..

After all this years, waiting for my mate, I actually do not expect that I already have a son. And even though, he's not from my mate just looking at him now, I see him as someone, I always wish to have as a son..

"So you're name is Masha... That woman seriously.. As always she doesn't have an imaginative mind. Naming her son with her own name.." I grumble, with a chuckle. Then I look back again at Masha who is already sitting with Louis on the couch. The others are on the far corner of the room and wating for me to speak, eyeing me curiously. "And how is she? Your mother?"

Like always my voice is soft and gentle, but it seems that it trigger something within him. As his face start to morph painfully. "I don't have a mother, anymore.." his voice is cold, a kind of voice that a boy as young as him should not possess.

I inhale a mouthful of air, letting my body to calm down. Lashing out now, won't be pretty. Especially a powerful one like me.

"She is human, after all." I softly murmur.. and I knew just then that Liam heard me, and like I knew he would do he punch me squarely on the jaw.

My body is flung on the air, throwing me to the other side of the room. Everything happened so fast as it passed on my hazy mind in a blur, and before I knew it Louis is already there shoving my brother away from me as he continously beat me up.

I heard Masha crying, while the others scream for Liam to stop. But he kept thrashing around, fighting Louis tight hold on him.

"Remove your hand on me Louis, and let me beat that bastard!" He yelled, angrily. But after a while he stop but still I knew he is fuming inside. "Damn it, Keanu! The wise men, always remind you to not slept with any woman out of the Pack! And to top it all to a human! What the heck were you thinking? You should have known that humans won't survive giving birth to our kind... so why the hell did you do that?!"

Silence... defeaning silence engulf the whole place after those words came out of him. Not liking, the awkwardness that it brought me, I look up and stare directly in Liam's eyes.

"Because I love her, Liam. That's why."

"But she is not your mate." Liam, state coldly.

"It doesn't change the fact, that I loved her."

"So what, you can move on. Its not true love after all. And how old are you on that time, huh?"

"16 almost 17."

Liam lift his brows at me, and stood in front of me with a menacing look. "Seriously, you're that young when you slept with her?! And now your claiming that you love her, that's why you do it! How stupid you can be!"

"But I really like her, she's the first girl who didn't make fun of my looks and accept me truthfully."

"So what? How can you say that to someone you just met huh? And fuck where was she same from? Because honestly, I knew that our pack move a lot. And I am quite sure that we never set foot to a town before, so its impossible for you to met some random girls and just have sex with them."

"Russia.."

Just a word that set everything into ruins. Liam move so fast, and I do not even move to block him when he starts punching me again.

"Wait! Just wait! Please stop it already..." Masha to my own astonishment suddenly flung his body and latch on Liam's arms to stop him, completely.

"Masha, baby don't. You're going to hurt yourself.."

"But Lo.."

"Don't worry, Liam already please stop beating your brother and let him finish first before you do so."

I cringe painfully, and smile at Masha when he look at me worriedly. Although, I'm surprise when he suddenly came near me and help me on my feet.

"Are you okay?' Masha asked, tearfully.

I sheepishly look at the boy, and wipe his tears. "Don't worry, I can heal myself fast."

"Huh? How?" Masha inquire.

I smile at Masha and turn my eyes at Liam. Smirking hautily, I close my eyes and concentrate hard, it didn't even took a minute when I felt my wounds starts healing, completely.

"I hate you sometimes Keanu. You should have left the wounds there until tomorrow. And feel the pain, at least it will serve as a punishment."

I just smirk cheekily at him.

"So, you're an Elder too?" I'm shocked to hear Louis asked me, who is already standing near his mate, infront of me.

"He is not one of us, I presume."

"Surely, a man with a noble blood like him is someone far from our league."

"But I must say.. I do not expect that someone with your lineage is still alive."

Okay. I know that I always get scared that easily. But that's when I'm still a child. Then, why I'm screaming right now.

As in, I'm screaming on to the top of my lungs. Frantically flailing my hands, and jumping on my feet.

But all of a sudden I stop when I felt a stinging sensation on my left cheek. Hastily opening my eyes, which I didn't notice that I closed, "Hey, what that's for?!" I yelled to Mikee the blonde boy from before and gave him a glare.

"You're being too loud." He said.

"But, you don't have to slap me! And jee, what's wrong with you old men, that's fucking scary! You don't ususally came out and appear out of no where, damn it! It's so creepy!" I huff, annoyed. But my lip twitch when the four old men, just smirk at me. And let me tell you, four toothless old men smirking, will really make someone even as strong as me scream out from so much fear.

Since, when this story turn out as a horror one!

"Stop being childish Keanu, and continue your story. They're waiting." Liam suddenly exclaimed behind me.

"If you didn't punch me repeatedly before, I should have finished retelling it by now." I sassily remark, just to cringe and take a step backwards when Liam glared at me.

"Stop being a bitch and just talk."

I let out a sigh, and look at Masha who is looking at me wistfuly. Although, I'm aware that everything I will say next will probably broke his heart..

But I need to tell everything.. As the clock is ticking. Before the enemy arrive, Masha needs to know who I am and what he really is.
