Chapter _5

Caleb pov:

I watched my baby sister walk out the door with a heavy heart. I looked at everyone in that room.. individually..

Then I asked "Is this what we have become, as a pack? Have we forsaken true mates for what we believe a superior choice.. because, if it is.. I find myself reevaluating everything I have ever known us to be!"

My father said "Caleb! You know Aurora is not Luna material! Amelia has been groomed for three years to take her position at Anderson's side! She is the perfect Luna!"

I scoffed "I know no such thing! What I do know is Aurora is a woman of intelligence.. integrity.. strength.. a loving, giving woman who has bent over backwards to be the daughter she is!

She has struggled her entire life.. just to be seen by her parents as their child!

Someone of value to this pack! But no!

What I see is a family determined to hide her in the shadow of her twin!

A vapid, shallow.. self-entitled b***h who bullied her.. put her down and made fun of her.. her whole existence!

All the while, being encouraged to do all that.. by the very same people who created Aurora!"

Amelia screamed "She wanted to take Anderson away from me! She wanted to steal my happiness! To make me suffer! You're my brother! You're supposed to be on MY side! But instead, you think it's fine for her to steal my mate!"

I look at her.. my eyes wide.. and ask "Do you even hear the bullshit coming out of your mouth, you spoiled little b***h?..

She can't steal your mate! YOU don't have one! YOU stole HERS!..

The ego you have is astronomical! I am your brother! But.. I am Aurora's brother, too!..

Every single one of you have forgotten that!

Just like you forgot she is your sister! And you both forgot she was your daughter!.

She's right! She has always been the throwaway! I am so ashamed of everyone in this room!"

Anderson speaks for the first time "So, where does that leave us, Caleb? You are my best friend! As close as a brother to me, all our lives.

I didn't know Aurora would turn out to be my mate. There was no way I could choose. My wolf wants his mate.. but I want Amelia. I shouldn't have to choose!"

Shaking my head "There shouldn't have been a choice.. Anderson.

You should have told Amelia you were going to accept your mate.

Amelia should have understood. My parents should have shared a happy and proud moment with their youngest child.

Our Alpha and Luna should have encouraged you to be with your Goddess given gift!

Those are the only Shoulds that Should have happened!

Instead.. we have a chosen mating.. that sees my baby sister banished! And not a f*****g one of you seemed concerned at how low we have fallen, as pack!

What about you, Luna Bridget? You haven't weighed in at all! I was actually convinced you cared about Aurora. Seems I was wrong about that, as well!"

Alpha John warned "Watch how you speak, boy! I will not be disrespected!"

I scoffed "Or what? You'll banish me, too?".

Anderson yelled "NO! Enough of this!"
