The blond-haired alpha sighed remembering what happened that day in the woods.
He had no other choice, but to leave Alex.
They both knew from the beginning that, this was going to happen sooner or later, but they just tried to convince themselves that it won't.
Ian got up from his bed heading to the bathroom to get ready to go to school because it's his first day at school and for sure nobody wants to be late on their first day.
He stood there in front of the mirror for some long minutes looking at himself at the mirror.
He smiled and carried his bag heading downstairs to the dining room.
"Ian come here son!" That voice made the blond-haired alpha smile widely as he happily ran towards the source of this voice.
Which was nobody other than his father who smiled and hugged his son tightly.
Ian buried his face inside his father's chest as he started crying silently and tightening the hug.
His father giggled and started caressing his hair saying " Oh Ian please don't cry, I'm here now"
The blond-haired alpha just closed his eyes and hugged his father even tighter in front of Bella who was smiling looking at how happy her older brother was, and also in front of her mother who was looking at them silently.
" Sit down baby," Said the father who was trying to pull away from the hug but his son refused that and instead he tighten the hug even more saying while his face was buried inside his father's chest " Please I don't want to dad"
The father smiled softly and started caressing his son's hair " I just don't want you to get late to your school sweetheart"
Ian started sobbing making his father furrow his eyebrows in confusion, he is very aware that his son misses him every time he leaves, but the way Ian is weeping right now can not be just because he missed his father.
Mr.Keene was about to ask his son about the reason why he is crying like this because he was so worried about him, but he was interrupted by his wife's sweet voice who said
"Ian honey, please sit down and have your breakfast. Your father has just arrived and he is exhausted."
The blond alpha raised his gaze looking at Bella's mother silently before slowly letting go of his father whispering " Okay ..... M-mother"
Then he immediately sat down and started eating his pancakes, while his father smiled looking at his wife as if he was saying "Thank you ".
He was so grateful to her for treating Ian as one of her own children.
Bella's mother is Ian's stepmother.
She smiled back at her husband as if she is saying "Don't mention it"
Little did Mr.Keene know the truth behind her smile? Also the truth behind the way Ian cried?
+++ Flash Back +++
When Ian was in his bedroom with his little sister that was telling him about their father's arrival.
Bella suddenly turned around facing her brother since she was facing him with her back in order to brush her hair as she said " Oh my god, I forgot to tell you Ian mommy told me that she wants you in her office as fast as possible "
Ian's smile immediately disappeared when he heard what his little sister said to him, he gulped and facked a small smile saying " Okay Bella I will go see what Ms. Keene wants and I will right back so that we can throw a tea party and I will also let you wear you princess' dress, but under one condition !!"
Bella stood up and started jumping happily on the bed saying " Yes yes I will do anything, just let me do your makeup "
Ian just smiled and said " Okay I will, but you have to stay in my bedroom and don't go out until and come back. Deal?"
She immediately nodded and answered him saying " Deal!!!"
The blond-haired alpha closed his bedroom door and went towards Bella's mother's office.
As soon as he opened the office door he found Bella's mother standing there looking at him coldly, he gulped and closed the door as he approached her saying " B-bella said that you called me, how may I help you .... Ma'me!!!"
Bella's mother who is also called Victoria approached her stepson looking at him coldly saying " Did Bella tell you about MY mate's arrival?"
Ian just gulped trying not to explode, because every time his stepmother calls his father her mate makes him want to kill her.
His father is his late mother's fated mate, but when she died Mr.Keene who is also known as Henry decided to marry Victoria in order to give his son a mother figure.
I guess that was not the best idea Henry has ever come up with, because after Ian's father's marriage, his life turned into a living hell.
"Yes, Ma'am she did" The blond alpha answered her while lowering his head towards the floor.
She immediately grabbed his hair in between her fingers hissing " I don't need to repeat myself, do I?"
He looked at her with his glossy eyes saying " N-no You don't Ma'am. I won't get close to father and I won't tell him anything"
Victoria smirked and let go of his hair pushing him on the floor saying " Good because I don't want to smell your filthy mother's scent on my mate"
Tears started to run down his cheeks listening to what his stepmother was saying.
He felt so useless and vulnerable because he could not even defend his late mother.
He stood up and wiped his tears away " Understood Ma'am. May I leave?"
She looked at him in disgust and said " Leave"
Ian opened the office door and left for his bedroom.
He can't do anything, even though Victoria was just an omega and he is an alpha, he still can't do anything, because he knows too well the punishments of disobeying his stepmother's orders.
