“I heard Gerhard and Donovan discussing while I was asleep. I heard nothing much like that, but it was the fact that Sihwa was the true leader and their father was just a stand-in.”
“It’s time you know about them, anyway.” My grandfather added. “This is going to be a long ride.” He murmured and continued. “Your stepfather was fifteen when he raped an Omega and got her pregnant because he got into a rut. The Omega got into heat. He couldn’t control himself and had his way with her. The fifteen-year-old Omega got pregnant. Your stepfather, Aaron, found out about it and instructed her to abort the child. Whatever happened was a mistake, he said. Meanwhile, his father had heard about it and before actions got taken, it was too late. The Omega had given birth to triplets.”
“WHAT!” I yelled in shock. “Did you just say triplets? He took advantage of a teenager and she gave birth to triplets.”
My stepfather was a nutcase. What a loose dog. How could he do such a thing to a young Omega?
“Yes. Sihwa was the firstborn. Ravenna was the second and third was Grimm.”
“Grimm? The alpha I saw earlier at the hospital?”
“Yes. He was the youngest among the three of them. As soon as the triplets were born, the Omega ran away with them and never came back.”
“Why? Why did she abandon them? I know she is young and all, but…”
“She escaped with the triplets and got lost for six years.”
“Six years? She ran away with them.”
“But Aaron’s father caught up with her and took the children away from her. He warned her that if he ever saw her again, he would kill her. She begged him to give her back to her triplets. Aaron’s father wasn’t having it and separated them. She never saw her children again, and no one knows where she is.”
“That’s-so cruel-to rip little wolves from a mother’s arms is the cruelest thing in the world.”
“Yes, and by the time they returned to the pack, Aaron had gotten more Omegas pregnant.”
“He did what? More kids?”
“Yes. And they were Chris, Donovan, Kellan, Soren, Lucian, Riot, Lykan. They were all born from different omegas.”
I gasped. “All of them?”
“You can see how loose he was. And each of them were 6, 5, 7, 7, 5, 4, 3 and 2 years of age. Aaron got addicted to sex. The Omegas he had sex with didn’t have access to protection because they were too young to demand for one. They couldn’t abort and had to give birth to the child. Some of them died and got killed by Aaron’s father to protect their reputation. It was only Lykan’s mother that was spared, and I don’t know why he spared her life. She must have had something on him to leave her and finished the rest of them. That pack was a dark place for blood shedding. That’s why I didn’t want your mother to get married there.”
“I can’t believe this.”
“Despite everything he did in protecting your stepfather’s reputation, he bore more children and kept producing more of them. Aiden, Zane, Tyson, Enzo, Axel, Jaxon, Gerhard, Selene and Kyara. Before we all knew it, he had 17 alphas and two Omegas. Each of them were 21, 20, 19, 18, 18, 17, 16, 15 and 12, before he got married to your mother and adopted you. All of you turned out to be 20 children of the Alpha of the Pure Bloodline clan.”
I thought they were 18 of them. There were 19 of them, but Aiden said they were 18. Or did I misunderstand what he was saying?
“Aiden was 21,” I muttered, and a thought came up. “Papa, you said two Omegas, right?”
“Yes, I said so.” He confirmed.
“I thought Gerhard was the only Omega among all his siblings.”
“No, he wasn’t the only one. Chris was the other Omega.”
“Where is he? I have never seen him and where are the mothers of-”
“They all died except for Lykan’s mother, Chris’s mother, and Gerhard’s mother, who are the only ones alive. Including Sihwa’s mother. I don’t know if she is dead, but I heard she ran away. No one knows where she is.”
“That’s so sad, grandfather. I don’t know. I just feel bad for them. Imagine growing up without a mother is pretty disturbing and lonely. And the environment they grew up in must have been harsh and traumatizing.” I heaved a sigh.
Should I even feel sorry for them? What do I know?
“Yes, it is sad and disturbing. He never cared for his kids or raised them the way they were supposed to be raised. He only chased after his dick. Aaron’s father’s degree that his son wouldn’t take after him. He chose Sihwa to take his place. Aaron was furious and jealous of his own son. Unfortunately, Sihwa had a weak body. He was always sick and any little movement could cause his bones to crack. To avoid rumors from getting out, they put Ravenna in Sihwa’s position. Just in case Sihwa falls sick again, Ravenna would occupy his seat for him till he gets well again. After all, they were both identical alphas. No one could tell the difference between them. Grimm, always locked in with Sihwa, to watch over him and hardly got outside. However, Sihwa started changing and would get furious at the slightest issue. He would break a maid’s fingers and chop off their nails. No one could stop Sihwa. Just getting close to Sihwa would provoke him and he would jump on you and wreck you apart. Since he became the leader of the clan at 10 years old, Sihwa lost the meaning of life and never experienced what a childhood was. He was still a child and his father had to be stand-in for him till he turned 18. Rumors have it that Sihwa killed his grandfather for his father.”
“He…he killed his grandfather?”
“I don’t know, but it’s just a rumor.” My grandfather let out a heavy sigh and faced me. “The story is pretty long, Wendy. And it is dark and scary to know more about them. The more you know too much, the scarier your life becomes.” His expression turned solemn. “But I will tell you one thing, Wendy. You are pretty young and you have a long journey ahead of you. Your mates don’t want to reject you. They don’t want to let you go. You know why?”
“No, I don’t.” I shook my head.
“You might wonder how I know too much, but I do, and you have to listen to what I’m about to tell you.”
I gave a nod. “Ok, grandpa.”
“Your mates, most of them are in love with you.”
“Huh!” Was this a joke? “No, papa.” I disagree. ‘In love with me? That’s impossible, grandpa. They treat me like crap and bounce me around. I went through hell and you are saying, ‘They are in love with me?’
