Chapter Fifty
THANE
I hadn’t seen Riley in three days; she was avoiding me. I wanted to pay her a visit so badly; it took every last will in me not to. She wasn’t ready to see me, and I should respect her decision.
Kissing Isabella right before her was the worst move I’ve ever made and I did feel guilty even if it had been my wolf who was drawn to her. Surprisingly, living with Isabella wasn’t exactly as complicated as I had thought it would be; since our last conversation, she had stayed away, barely speaking to me. I knew my words hurt her, but I wasn’t going to lead her on; she deserved better.
“There’s a man requesting an audience with you,” a soldier reported to me.
“Does he have a name?”
“He had refused to say a thing till he saw you.”
“Well, if he isn’t ready to share his name in the very least, then I don’t think I’ll be entertaining him.”
“Alpha… I think you should see him.” The soldier said, a hint of concern in his eyes.
The man waited outside the pack house, surrounded by my pack soldiers. I dismissed them with a flicker of my hand.
“I hope your reason for being here is important. I have no time to spare,” I warned
The man turned to me, and I noticed something different about him.
“I would love to introduce myself, but there are many listening into our conversation. Perhaps we go somewhere more private, Alpha,” He suggested. He must be of an Alpha Line, but I could have sworn I had never seen this man before, yet he felt… familiar.
“Come with me.” I led him into the meeting room.
“Now start talking.”
“I am Logan Dimintri; you must have heard of me from your mate.”
“Not really, the Luna never mentioned you.” I say pouring him a glass of whisky, he accepted it with a nod, and I poured one for myself.

“I speak about your true mate, Isabella.”
Everything seemed to click; Isabella had spoken to me about a man who looked very similar to me. I didn’t know if Logan looked anything like me, but I had felt this strange familiarity when I saw him; he seemed to be in his late thirties, a few years older than I was.
“I finally met my ‘Guardian Angel.” I muttered sarcastically.
He chuckled at that. “If that’s your way of saying ‘thank you‘, then you are welcome.
“So, who are you?”
“I am Logan…”
“I got that, but I believe you have more to yourself than a name.‘
“I do. You can consider me your big brother.”
“That’s a bit overboard, don’t you think?”
“There’s a lot you don’t know, little brother.”
“The term ‘Alpha king‘ would work fine for now.”
“I know about your many achievements, and I am impressed. But there are always those secrets left in the dark waiting to be revealed, and this might come as a shock, but I am your brother, and the man who you believed all your life to be your father isn’t.”
“And I guess I am just going to believe that?”
“You felt it when you saw me
you felt the familiarity, didn’t you?”
“Of course that is proof enough. Welcome home, brother.” I said sarcastically.
“Many believe there is only one Lycan alive. You. But they are wrong; the only difference is that one is a complete show–off and the other–me–has the common sense to keep what I am secret.”
I watched his eyes turn completely black. Of course I didn’t let him know I was impressed, my Lycan part only comes forth when triggered; I couldn’t just summon it, but there was always something to trigger me, and so it never really was a problem.
“So I have a brother-

“Half brother,” he corrected. “Your mother has a lot of secrets; too bad she can’t tell you the truth now, but maybe you need to have a chat with your father.”
“I would, but the thing is, he has been dead for some time now; I expected you to know that.”
“Oh, I heard about the power–hungry son who killed his father and took his pack. If only people knew that you weren’t actually the killer.”
“How do you know that?”
“Being in the shadows allows you to know a lot of things, brother. I also know that you see your father’s ghost, so maybe he might know a thing or two.”
