Tyler POV

I was curled tightly into a tiny ball as I looked at my phone. The sleek galaxy stared back at me as I watched as my father's face appeared on the screen. I could see the way that his blue eyes darkened as he glared at the screen. A shudder rushed down my spine as I took one last look at myself in the reaction to the flat-screen TV that resides in the living room. I didn't see any blood on my face so heavily I sighed as I hit the bright green button.

Watching as his face turned back at me as I took in a long heavy breath I put on my best front trying to hide the anxiety and anguish that rushed over me every time that I didn't see my father rushing to my side.

"What is this that I hear about you nearly killing a girl? In public no less. Among other things'' There was a coldness to his voice as his bright red lips pulled into a sneer telling me that at the very least he gotta eat dinner. A tired yawn fell from my lips as I curled tightly to the couch resting my head on the plush white pillow.

"I was in a mood and it wasn't made better by that brat brother of yours. Dad, I'm tired and my body hurts and I just want to sleep. Do we have to do this now?" My tone is warm and whining as I pulled my blankets tightly under my chin as I glared at him. His eyes were jaded and filled with hatred as I took in a long steadying breath in the hope that I didn't lose my shit.

I looked at the soft plush white wolf since papa died it felt like I never let go of this damn thing but with it, I felt safe. "No we can't put this off your uncle tells us that you thought that you are above the clan and the pack. You belong to one fo the most powerful clans in the world. I don't want to hear you knockin your clan Ty." Grandpa spoke in a cold voice.

His tone was outraged as I whimpered slowly, closing then opening my eyes to see grandpa glaring at me. He stood firmly behind dad, his arms folded firmly over his chest as he assumed the alpha stance. His body is rigid and tight as he greeted me waiting to figure out what was going on.

"I told you I was in a mood but I never said that I'm above the clan. I simply said that I have no interest in being a possible heir to the clan because I would inherit your position as alpha. I didn't say that I was above anything, in fact, he was talking down to me not the other way around. Grandpa, I'm tired, can I go to sleep now or are you and daddy going to give me the third degree all the time." Even as I said the words I started to zone out I could hear the shifting in the back.

"Ty? Tyler?!" Outrage burned in my mother's voice as I snuggled into my pillow pulling the wolf closer to my body as I felt someone leering at me. Looking over the couch I could see mom her bright blue eyes were locked on my phone as she glared at dad that was resting on the other line of the phone.

"What are you teaching him? Skipping school after his first day back? Starting fights and feeding on girls in public. Your little brother stopped by and told me everything"

Hate flared in her voice as my dad simply looked at me, his golden brows racing lightly as if to say what the hell did you do. But I simply looked away, not wanting to deal with the disappointment that I'm sure would be glimmering in his eyes.

"I didn't think that he was ready to go back to school and I was right. He is a hybrid so his emotions are twice as heightened as any vampire. He can't handle grief and rage like he used to and even then he never processed it well. Ty go lay down in your room no more blood for the night your body is still adjusting."

I nodded my head but I was so tired my joints ached and my body felt heavy. I just wanted to sleep but instead, I started to rise from the couch hitting the bright red button but not before saying my goodbyes. After that, I made my way up the spiraling staircase gripping tightly to the banister for support.

My head felt light but my body felt heavy. I found it hard to get motivated lately. Dropping happily into my bed the fluffy white blanket curled tightly around my body and began to drift letting my mind fall back to when I was a little boy visiting my father in Alaska.

10 Years ago

I woke up as the loud roar of the wind filled my ears looking over to my right. I noticed the fire in my room was still crackling, the sharp pops and whizzes filled my ears as warmth spread over the room. Taking one look at the empty room I felt terrified, I gripped tightly so the soft plushie helped to put me at ease as I noticed the glimmering rainbow of light just shining out of my window.

The soft blanket of snow falling down from the sky as I noticed the rippling deep blues and bright green moving across the sky. The sight took my breath away as I heard a soft knock at the door. At first, I thought that I was hearing something but then there was a soft groaning sound as I turned back to watch a man walk into the room. Deep blue eyes locked on me warm and loving eyes that had a way of putting me at ease even in the more fearful moment.

"What is my little wolf doing up? It's past your bedtime?" His soft loving tone forces warmth to spread through my chest and move out the rest of my body. I couldn't help the smile that pulled at my lips as I bounced happily on the bed.

"I can't sleep daddy, look at the pretty lights" I smiled warmly at him as he chuckled in a loving voice and his words echoed off my ears. "I can see that, do you know what they call those pretty lights." As daddy spoke there was love and light in his eyes as he stalked over to me. Taking in the sight of his easy posture I knew that he wasn't mad at me. At least not like the way that bully Richard is.

"No what?" My voice filled with wonder and enthusiasm as he dropped happily on the bed pulling me close to his chest as he spoke casually like it was something that I should have known. "Aurora Borealis, tomorrow night we can go outside and look at them but that means that you have to be a good little pup. Can you do that for me?"

Joy bubbles in my chest as I bounce on his lap looking up at him with wide bright eyes that force him to laugh. The door slowly creaked open and I snapped back to see papa walking in. His bright green eyes were filled with love and warmth. He was more of a daddy than Richard was. I liked daddy's mate a lot more than mommas. "There are my boys what are you doing up Ty Ty"

When he spoke I knew that I was loved. It was like their smiles were a blanket of warmth enveloping me. Leaning back into my daddy's body I smiled warmly at him before shrugging my shoulder as I went back in my tangled mess of blanket and pulled tightly to mister wolf before showing him to papa. "I couldn't sleep papa can you read me another bedtime story" Daddy lifted us both into bed as he cheeks gently as his warmth overtook me and there was rumbling in my dad's chest.

Papa walked over to me with a loving warmth bubbling in his eyes as he spoke in a carefree tone "Another one, I read you three and daddy read you three as well. That makes 6 you don't need another one. How about I sing you a song the same one that you grandpa used to tell your daddy" Excitement filled my chest as he dropped down on daddy's lap as he snuggled tightly into daddies side as he began to sing in a sweet and husky voice as ancient words filled my ears lulling me to sleep.

Current Time

I could hear my mother talking down the front stairs but I didn't let my eyes flutter open. I kept them closed and tried to drift off to sleep but as I slowly began to open my eyes. Drinking in the sight of the crescent moon helps to put me at ease as I listened in to the conversation

"Hello, there I was hoping to speak with you on a matter concerning your fair town." The voice was rustic and polite. The British accent that pooled with each word made me think of my dad.

Pulling the wolf just a little bit tighter to my chest I began to drift off to sleep, doing my best to be patient and silent

"Of course please come in. If you don't mind me asking what problem is it that you have come to seek my attention for?" Even as my mother spoke I could hear the warm beaming smile that I'm sure was pulling at her lips at this moment in time.

Sighing heavily I cuddled my pillow wishing that my dad was here to sing me to sleep like papa used to do.

"Well you know there is a hybrid problem that needs to be dealt with. That son of yours is one of them. That abomination passed his bloodline onto that little brat and you much like his whore mother broke a promise of marriage with that fucking beast. You shall die but not before Niklaus knows who did this."

I felt his words. I could hear his words but my body felt like lead and I couldn't move as I slowly began to close my eyes hoping that this was all some twisted dream, the monsters that hunt monsters are coming for me. I could hear Mikeal compelling my mother.

"After you tell Niklaus that I took his bastard baby boy, you're going to take a knife and stab yourself in the heart if he stops you, fight him until he kills you."

His words were taunting and smug and I felt hate bubbling in my chest. I wouldn't let this happen. I wouldn't let another one of my parents die because I was weak. In a flash, I was lined up before Mikeal.

I expected him to be a beast in the shape of a man that he would have fanged as long as my arms and a monstrous twisted body but instead the man that stood before I looked just like that, a man not some twisted beast.

His cropped platinum hair stared back at me combed to the right side, his pale skin glimmering in the light there was this powerful aura about him. His bright electric blue eyes lie to my father even though they were not blood-related.

They had the same air the same and the same depth and coldness in their eyes. His pink lips were pulled into a smug smile as he grinned at me only for a moment before he launched forward and fear ate away at my organs but I wouldn't let him win without a fight.
