Rejection(Editing and Adding)

Chapter 18

Nick had heard the all the screaming, he had run to it as fast as his feet would carry him. He recognized the threats, they belonged to his father, he recognized the pleas,  voiced by a man he knew as uncle, a father, a friend. As he stood in that doorway, watching the two men who had raised him his mind wondered back to a time where things where much simpler when things had been good. A time when he had an older brother, a best friend, and two wonderful men in his life. Now that past had somehow turned into this horrible present, where the brother, the best friend and the two men no longer existed.

Mathew, Matt, his brother, the man that had been a friend, had been an enemy, dead, murdered, killed, gone, vanished, no longer in the earthly world. It was a hard thing to process, but he knew that Angelo had not killed Matt, he knew who had. The report had come in this morning right after Daniel's speech to the pack, with his father gone, and Angelo gone, Nick had been the one to receive the report from a neighboring pack.

Marie had done exactly what Angelo and Daniel had done. Given Matt a drink that made him change his mate in order to become Luna, but she didn't know that Matt had received the same drink once before, Matthew had gone into a crazy fit of rage, his soul was pulled three ways. At least that's what the doctor from the neighboring pack had said, the only explanation that they could give in the report was that Matt's body and soul where divided three ways, one for Liana, one for Marie and one for his true mate. An internal battle that Matt's body could not stand and one his soul could not comprehend.

The pack named Willows, had rogues on there land, at least that's what they thought but they soon came across a half wolf/man going crazy tearing it's body to shreds and then turning to shred anything in it's path, there was a girl standing about fifty feet away watching in what could only be described as horror. When the girl had seen them she had ran and the Willows then split up, one group to follow the girl and the other to restrain the boy. The report information was solely based on what the girl had said once captured because when the rest of the group had gone back for the men, they had found them dead and discarded all over the forest, with Matthew dead on the ground where they had originally seen him. The doctors examined the body, the brain, nothing was found except for a few blood stains in the brain, they figured the stains had affected the judgment of the boy, but they dismissed that when they found out about the drink Matthew had drank. They declared the death of there fellow pack mates involuntary manslaughter since Matthew had been drugged and not in a state of mind to recognize his actions. The members of the pack had been lowly members, without children and so the Willows decided not to declare war on Nicks pack.

Nick had given his gratitude to the messenger, even took money from the packs fund to give the Willows. War was not something the currently broken pack needed.

He had only been looking for his dad for about five minutes, when he had heard the pleas.

Daniel had thrown into a fit of pure utter rage the day he stumbled upon Angelo over his dead's sons body, Angelo hadn't seen Daniel ready to murder him, he had gotten the message from the willows, they had a girl under arrest and currently being questioned, they had told him that he should not move the body that there was medics currently on there way to pick it up and examine it but Angelo couldn't stand there and leave Matthew in the dirt, he had started digging a hole to bury the young boy in when Daniel had let his presence be known. Daniel had been in agony, in deadly anger but Angelo had ran from him and Daniel had followed. Once back in pack ground, Daniel had cooled of some, surely his life long best friend wouldn't kill his son, and then he had heard about Mackayla's suicide attempt, he didn't know the willows had sent word about Matt, he felt horrible for leaving his dead son in the ground but the members where asking questions about Mackayla and so his duty came first. He had gone back to the forest where Matthew had been but found no evidence of his son ever being there, he had even dug holes in the ground thinking Angelo had buried Matt but found nothing. Daniel had turned into his brown wolf and practically flew home, his mind was clouded, his son's body was gone, his Matt was dead and in his eyes the image of Angelo over Matt's body was the only reasonable explanation as to why.

Now here they all where. Daniel strangling the life out of Angelo, mackayla out of her bed attempting but failing to move Daniel from her husband, while Liana held a hand to her heart and looked on in disbelief. Nick could not stand and watch any longer, he was over his momentarily lapse of judgment and shock.

"Stop! Dad stop! Angelo did not kill Matthew! You didn't know but the Willows found his body, along with Marie, she gave him another drink of that poison, you aren't supposed to take it twice, they said he died because his soul was being split in three, he went crazy and started fighting himself, tearing his body, trees, anything."

Daniel had heard his youngest son, now his only son, but still he couldn't' let go Angelo. He stood above the man with hatred that was meant for no one but himself. He had known the effects of the Fate's drink when he had drank it, when he had given it to his best friend, and he had known it when he gave it to his son. Matthew had died because his father was an asshole, a selfish human being who had done everything in life to make sure he would get exactly what he wanted. Love they way he wanted, the girl he wanted, the power for his family, the perfect wife for his Heir, everything and anything. This is what he got for his efforts, for his lies, for his betrayal, for every little bad thing he had done in his life. His son was dead, his wife was probably packing her things, and his best friend was currently turning blue, going to die at Daniel's hands.

His hands moved away from Daniel's throat and Daniel moved towards the wall and sunk down. Hot and Heavy tears streamed down his face, he covered his face with his hands and sobbed angry, earth shattering sobs.

Everyone in that room, had tears in there eyes. Daniel cried, while Laina sat a few feet away from him debating on whether to comfort him or run the hell away, Mackayla stood above her recovering husband crying, while he tried to regain his breath and Nick just watched on, he wanted to cry for his father, for Laina, for Mackayla and Angelo but he also had the urge to laugh, not a happy laugh but a bitter laugh. This where the people he considered to be friends and family, dysfunctional, murderess and pitiful.

Nick was also dysfunctional, murderess and pitiful.
