Chapter 61

I stared at him with the most contempt I got, I was getting so angry and sad at the same time, it seemed the man I called my father formed the pack for one single thing, to take revenge!

Everyone knew Alpha Darren as the most powerful yet Dad was going to fight him, he was aware of how fatal it would be especially when he had taken the life of his daughter.

"Dad but why did you kill his daughter?..., you could have thrown a challenge, a normal challenge and wage the war other than killing her, he would fight us with all his might and cruelty, how are we to withstand it" I sighed slumping on the chair there,

"You will never understand, he deserves more than that, I wished I was also able to kill his son and everyone dear to him!" Dad huffed with his eyes brightening in fury.

"Can I know what he did to you?..., I've never known why this great hate formed between you and him, what did he do to you??...tell me!" I requested recalling Elena my mate who was still there waiting for me.

She is the daughter of Darren and must have heard of Scarlett's death, would she be happy with me or not?

I caused the death of her sister...

"Do you want to know what that devil Darren's did to me?...I'll tell you" he breathed shutting his eyes, I could notice pure pain in his tone,

"My real name is Xander, I was once one of his warriors, I was very loyal to him not knowing he is heartless, he treated me like I wasn't a human with emotions, he took my joy away, that man Darren killed my whole family and banned me from his Pack!" He gruffed clenching his fist,

"Why?" I asked curiously,

"His second mate Elf made him do that and he never cared to consider me, he did just all she said and believed her stupid lie!" He replied with a deep growl,

"I still don't get it!"

"This is the reason I hated mates, that lady Elf set me up, she called me to her room and pleaded I massage her back after a battle, how would I had known it was an evil plan, till today, I can't just tell why she did that. I can't remember wronging her in any way...she drew me on her body and screamed the moment Darren entered the room, I was shocked but was terrified when she told him I wanted to rape her" Dad relayed and I flinched wagging my head,

"What the heck!" I fumed imagining how terrible must have been for him,

"I had served Darren for many years, took stabs for him, got deep cut and slash of swords and claws, I was the most loyal and was ready to give my life for him, but that very night he shattered me into pieces, I had thought he trusted me, after all the thick and thin we went through, I thought he would have mercy on me with a little trust but the reverse was the case!" Dad howled and sprung up facing me straightly...

"How would he believe such a lie?" I asked getting angrier,

"That isn't what pained me most, he has every right not to believe but don't I deserve a chance to explain myself, who would he ask me if it is true, why didn't he had a bit of mercy and punish me alone at least, why my innocent family, my mother, father, brothers, sisters, everyone died in his hand, he then banned me from the pack, all this he did without giving me a single chance to talk, I was treated like nothing!" He breathed, his voice cracked at the end, his eyes were becoming wet, there was deep pain and hurt in his voice especially when he talked about his family.

He sniffed and shut his eyes...

"My beloved family died for the crime I never committed" he added and I could see his lips quiver, he opened his eyes and for the first time in my life, I saw tears roll down, Alpha Javier shedding tears...

I felt my heart grow heavy, I just confirmed my doubt, I wasn't his son all this while but then I couldn't brood over that but his sad story, I can tell the feelings, how heartbreaking it must have been,

"I cried and pleaded for justice, I begged with my heart, with my tears, I swore with my life that I was innocent yet, he won't listen to me instead he kept hitting me, he made the world believe I did it, all because of a mate, Darren destroyed me forgetting the multiple sacrifices I made for him..." My father muttered and took a deep breath sniffing back the tears,

He was pained.

"I'm sorry for all that..." I muttered,

"You don't have to be sorry, it won't change anything, just help me get the revenge I desire, I want my family to have peace of mind, I want them to smile seeing me fight back for their death" he gruffed.

"But why did Alpha Darren not recognize you all this while as the same man he banned and did all those cruel things to?" I asked anxiously.

"This isn't my real face and... he must have thought I died already because he sent warriors to kill me, I could have been dead if a witch didn't save me from them, she was also the woman who gave me the mask I wore from then till today..." He explained and pulled off something from his face,
