"I thought this day would never come... Your mother didn't die from childbirth, she was killed by a werewolf when you were a few months old. " Dagen explained from the other side of the room, Zander glared at him the entire time while petting Ezlyn.

"Does Kenna know about this or Desmond?" Phoenix asked sitting next to Luka, feeling the anger radiating off the twins.

"Yes they do know, they went to the funeral but for you... You were overly attached to your mother. "Dagen rubbed his temples before looking at his son. "Who are these two?"

"Uh, this is Zander and Luka, my study friends. "Phoenix said quickly blushing lightly, the twins continued their glare.

"Something's off here... "Luka mumbled softly only audible for his twins and their mate.

"Look here, I know we got off the wrong foot, I'm Dagen... Phoenix's father. "He gave a weak smile but sadly they didn't return it.

"I'm Zander and that's my younger twin brother Luka... Phoenix's classmates. "He said coldly keeping his glare.

"Alright then. Phoenix I still don't understand why are you hanging out with werewolves? They are dangerous and could kill you with one look. "

Both the twins tensed up which Dagen noticed immediately, shifting his sitting posture. "Say Zander, Luka. Have you ever seen werewolves before? They're evil, dangerous, disgusting creatures... Killing people for sport. "

Luka growled softly and shot up from his seat. "That's not true!!"

"Luka!" Zander snapped at his twin, their secret is no more.

"I knew it! You two are werewolves! Stay away from my son, you freak!" Dagen shot up from his seat and walked over to them, Zander growled as he got up, standing in front of Phoenix protectively. "Don't you dare touch him. "

"You let my son go!" Dagen hesitated to go near his son with Zander in the way.

"He's not being held captive or anything, he is willing to be with us!" Luka growled at Dagen, Phoenix felt this getting out of hand and stood up. "Guys... Please not now. "

"No Phoenix, we're not letting him take you away from us. "Zander growled possessively, Phoenix furrowed his brows noticing how possessive Zander is.

Phoenix sat in his fathers' car playing with his fingers nervously.

"How could you live with those murderers?!" His father drove out of town muttering cursing under his breath, irritated for not looking after his son.

"Father... Please, they're not like the-"

"Don't defend them Phoenix! I do not trust them in general. " He shot a glare at his youngest son. "You're staying with your brother and his wife in Opax. "

"B-but that's two towns away! I'm still busy with my senior year!" His eyes widen looking at his father suddenly.

"I don't care as long as you're far away from those two. "He yelled at him, his brows furrowed with frustration. "Just keep quiet alright? I'm sick of hearing your voice. "

Phoenix turned away, feeling tears starting to form at the corner of his eyes shortly rushing down his cheeks. "I just want to go back. " He whispered quietly to himself watching trees pass by the car.
