The Alpha's Daughter

Chapter 4

I was bored now that Roxy had left a little over an hour ago.

She was such a caring person with a don't mess with me aura that surrounded her.

I sighed happily at the thought that the one person that liked me was the girl I actually liked as well in if

it was in a different way.

All my happiness was sadly disturbed by a sudden knock at the door.

I groaned slightly standing up from the comfort of my bed walking over to answer it.

As soon as it was open I quickly tried to close it but his reflexes were too fast.

He pushed the door open swiftly making me lose my balance falling over in the process.

He walked towards me with anger and hatred, the only emotions visible in his eyes.

“You little mutt better be glad she threatened to hurt me over you or I would have snapped your neck in

half by now” Brayden said walking towards me pointing at me accusingly.

He kicked me in the leg which caused my crawling retreat to stop to a halt.

I groaned, grabbing my leg as he laughed menacingly over me.

“Hey Brayden I saw you…." Someone began speaking behind him causing both of our attention to

snap towards the girl standing at my door.

I recognized her as Brayden's sister. She stood frozen in shock, a glimpse of sadness in her

expression.

“Amelia go back to your room” He said to the young girl whose attention was on me.

“You hurt him” Her gaze moved from me as she looked up at her brother with disgust.

He walked towards his sister and she backed away.

What was going on the pain in my leg stopped at the sight of what unfolded in front of me.

“You're just like him you said you wouldn't be yet you still hurt people like he hurts me” She said with

tears running down her face.

I was so confused all I could do was stare at the two in front of me.

“No Amelia I'm nothing like dad” He said reassuringly reaching out for his sister who backed up.

“So it's okay for you to hurt someone over a girl you’re; blaming him like dad blames me has it ever

occurred to you that maybe Roxanne doesn't like you” She said crossing her arms angrily.

Now that she was completely in my line of sight I could tell that she was a little young, maybe a teen

about 13 or 14.

“She does like me she has feelings for me I know it” He said harshly which caused his sister's eyes to

widen.

Right now there were a bunch of thoughts going through my head.

The main thought was that Brayden and the men in his family were crazy and hiding secrets I suppose

no one else knew. Then again who doesn’t have secrets.

From the sound of it their father was abusing the young girl but why.

“Come on Amelia let's go somewhere we can discuss this privately” He said to his sister who said

nothing moving down the hall.

Brayden watched his sister sadly before turning to look at me as he walked out shutting the door to my

room.

I stared in shock at my now closed door trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

When did all these people start coming to my room?

A beat down from Brayden turned into a confusing argument between him and his sister.

So I was guessing Brayden got his anger issues from his dad.

I wondered what was going on between them and I wondered if Roxanne knew about it. I've seen her

and the girl hanging around I'm guessing they're close.

The bigger question is why did Brayden leave the door open to beat me up anyways he must have

been so angry he didn't even think about it.

His sister was probably heading to her room because the younger kids stayed down the hall and then

suddenly saw her brother entering my room.

Maybe Brayden wasn't all that bad, maybe his past wasn't all that great either causing him to be the

way he is.

I knew he had lost his mom after she had given birth to Amelia.

So Brayden was probably misunderstood; he probably didn't know how to express his anger.

I don’t know why I was making excuses for him but your past can definitely take a toll on you.

I finally decided to stand up from the floor from where I had laid frozen in my spot.

I wonder if Roxanne was asleep right now. There was so much I needed to know and too little

information to work with.

I headed out of my room and to the other side of the house where the girls stayed.

I knocked on the door that had a Blue R hanging from it. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I hope nothing completely bizarre happens again because I don't think my brain could take it.

A second later Roxy opened the door a smile appearing on her face once she saw me.

I smiled back because I didn't just want to be rude and hit her with a million questions.

“Can I ask you something?” I asked and she nodded motioning for me to come in.

“What is it” She asked sitting in a blue bean bag chair across from me while I sat at her desk.

“Um, do you know about the situation between Brayden and his family?” I asked and she nodded.

“I know a little that Amelia told me” She said a sad expression flashing across her face.

“Why do you ask?” She asked, studying my face as if looking for the answer.

“Um I heard her talking about it to him and I was just wandering” I said, not wanting to bring back up

the mess that happened a couple of minutes ago.

“Well she told me her mother died giving birth to her and her dad loved her mom more than anything.

Her dad is a very coldhearted man. He blames her for it so he beats her sometimes when he gets

angry thinking about old times” She said sadly looking off into space.

“Have you tried to tell anyone like your parents” I asked and she shook her head.

“I wanted to but she told me not to tell anyone plus they would probably either demote him or kick him

from the pack which may only make him angrier” She said and I nodded.

I sighed “I know how she feels” I said and Roxy looked at me confusingly tilting her head to the side.

“What do you mean?” She asked, looking at me worriedly.

I looked at her and sighed before saying “let's just say I have a dark past of my own.”
