Chapter 23
Jenson shakes his head, his dark eyes wide in shock. “I will leave.” He mutters. “I just…. I just need a few hours to pack my stuff.” He mutters in shock.
“Supervise him!” I tell Eric.
“Not a problem.”
Eric follows Jenson from the office as I link Raven.
‘Are you free?’ The news would be better coming from me.
‘Sure, where?’
‘Office.’
‘On my way.’ She chirps happily
‘She isn’t going to be happy.’ Aero states what I already know.
‘And that’s why it is better coming from us.’
Raven is quick to appear. She’s her usual happy self which means that Jenson was yet to link her.
“Is this about Neah?”
“No. Your brother has been up to his usual tricks.”
“You said this isn’t about Neah.
“It’s not. It turns out that Jenson slept with Kelsie.”
“Are you serious?” Her dark eyes are wide. “Why the hell would he do that?”
“It was some time ago, but has only come to light recently. Raven, he has chosen to be banished.”
“You’re banishing our brother, my twin?”
“It’s gone on long enough. He has been given warning after warning and he still doesn’t change. Do you know how many complaints I receive every day because of what he does? I can’t fault that he is an excellent Gamma, but sadly, his abilities no longer outweigh his activities.”
She folds her arms, “Crap. Where is he going to go?”
“I don’t know.”
“You mean you don’t care!”
“Of course I care about my brother, Raven. But there are only so many warnings I can give him. If it had been anyone else, they would have been long gone and you know as well as I do, that he has taken advantage of being my brother.”
She slowly nods her head and sighs, “I understand.”
‘She’s taking it alot better than I thought she would.’ Aero mumbles and I agreed, but then again, for twins, they weren’t exactly the closest
“You can stay in touch if you feel the need. You are his twin, I will not hold that against you. But from this day forward, he is no longer a member of this pack. That means not giving him information, not telling him of mine or anyone’s location. No filling him in on any attacks. You tell him nothing. Understood?”
She nods.
“Raven, I need to hear you say it.”
“I understand. I will not in any circumstances give him information.”
“Good. I believe he is in his room packing if you want to say your goodbyes.”
She doesn’t say anything as she leaves.
‘She will get over it.’ Aero mutters, ‘We have to do what’s right for the pack.’
I wasn’t a complete arsehole. I gave him keys to a car and handed him enough money that should see him through for a few months until he figures things out. But essentially, he was on his own because no other pack would take him.
“You made the right call.” Eric tells me as we watch the black car disappear from sight.
“I know. It’s been a long time coming.”
“Would you have killed him if he had said death?”
“I don’t know.” If it had been anyone else, yes, I would have done, but could I have gone as far as ending my brother’s life? Who knows. “What about Kelsie? She didn’t leave with him.”
“She’s trying to use our sons as a reason for us to stay together. Fifteen years we have been together, and she throws it away on fucking Jenson.”
He looks up at the house where we both could see Neah sat in the chair by the bedroom window. “Good job you got him out before he got to her.” And in that moment, I realise that is all it would have taken for me to kill Jenson, finding out he had fucked my mate.
“Have you told her yet?” Eric asks.
“About?”
“Her being your mate, obviously.”
“It’s complicated.” I sigh
“It’s a little unfair to not tell her, considering you made her part of the contract.”
“She’s still mated to someone else.”
“You do want her, right? I mean surely you wouldn’t have brought her here if you didn’t want her.”
“I want her, but I also need her to want me and not just because of some fucking matebond.”
