Ashfur sat in front of the man that had tortured him for most of his childhood, the reason that the dreams are as bad as they are. "Hello, Father." He said, voice cold. "Not gonna greet your own father warmly?" He asked. Ashfur slammed his hands on the table. "Why would I? You didn't give a danm about us when we were growing up." He snarled. Derek chuckled softly. "Feisty. Huh. Get that from me." He said. Ashfur could feel Keiran's hand on the doorknob, ready to open it and defend his mate, but he didn't need to do that now, not yet. Silver eyes glinted back at the Alpha male, causing Keiran to relax. "I am nothing like you." Ashfur snarled. Derek scoffed. "That so called mate of yours ready to protect you? Had to get another man huh? You really are weaker than I thought." He asked. Ashfur snarled again, his wolf scratching at the edge and ready to take over, he had to reel him in before he wolfed-out. "He's a better mate than any other girl could be and we love each other." He said. Derek rolled his eyes glancing at the scars on his wrists. "See you still have your nightmares then." He said. Ashfur glared at him. "You're the cause of them grow up and take some responsibility for abusing me." He snapped. "I didn't make your stupid decisions for you." Derek said. "You knew what was going to happen as soon as the dreams kicked in, I harmed myself for twenty years to try to kill myself to get rid of that side of you. It disgusts me that I'm related to you but I swear to you that my son will not live the same fears that I had to growing up, he will not know of you, your dead as far as he or I am concerned. It's better off that way." Ashfur spat. "Ouch. You'd really diss your own father like that?" Derek asked. Hawkeye went in between Ashfur's legs growling at Derek. "It's okay Hawk." Ashfur said softly, trying to calm the beautiful Border Collie. Derek glared at the ring on his son's finger. "He asked your hand in marriage?" He asked. Ashfur shifted his weight nervously. If you want him gone say the word, I'll gladly take care of him for you. Hollyleaf whispered. Ashfur shook his head. "It's fine. I'm glad your protecting me though." Ashfur said. Hollyleaf nodded. "Yes, he did we've been engaged for three years now and Sunday we're getting married." He said. Derek scoffed glaring at the beautiful rose gold necklace Keiran got him for his birthday that said his name on it, a simple reminder of the love of his life. "He has poor taste in jewelry." Derek growled. Ashfur glared at his father, his wolf coming out now. "Maybe you should be happy for me instead of criticizing every little thing I do. Weither you like it or not he is my fiancé and will be my husband soon and he makes me happy, happier than I've ever been with Scourge or Squirrelflight." Ashfur spat. "Watch your tone boy." Derek warned. Ashfur scoffed. "I'm not that defenseless fourteen year old that you used to prey on every night. I've learned to fight back and get away. I've learned that my Alpha will protect me and take a bullet for me to save me." Ashfur said. Keiran stepped behind his Omega, as if proving Ashfur's point. "You shouldn't have my son's name around your neck like he's property." Derek growled. Keiran rolled his eyes, running his hand along the Prince necklace. "It's not his name first of all, they didn't have it apparently it's too rare of a name, it's his nickname and second of all he's far from property he's a human being with feelings something you don't understand or have." Keiran snapped. Ashfur glared at his father. "Where is she?" He asked. Derek tilted his head. "Where's who?" He asked, enjoying their little game. "My sister you idiot." Ashfur spat. "Hidden, she's in a safe location." Derek said. Ashfur glared at his father not trusting his lies. "I know what a safe location is, tell me where she is." Ashfur snapped. Derek didn't respond. "I want him gone now." Ashfur muttered now angry as he pressed close to Keiran, to his comfort, his safe place. Hollyleaf nodded. "This conversation is over I highly recommend you leave before I force you out the door." She said. Ashfur nuzzled into Keiran smiling softly when the Alpha male ran his hand through his grey flecked hair comfortingly. Ashfur sent one last glare to his father mouthing. I will find her, if it's the last thing I do. "That actually went better than I thought it would." Ashfur said into his Alpha's neck. Keiran nodded. "I didn't have to kill him so that's a plus." He said. Ashfur chuckled looking into Keiran's grey eyes. "Thank you. I needed that, I needed to get my anger and hatred out that I have towards him." He said. Keiran nodded. "We need a map drawn out, we need to find her." Ashfur said. "Woah. Woah slow down Prince slow down." Keiran said. "Slow down!? Slow down!? My sister is out there somewhere and you want me to slow down?" Ashfur snarled. Keiran held his hands up. "Okay. Easy." He said softly. Ashfur growled his mindset going to wherever she was and if she was alive or not. He glared at his father again storming into the room. "Uh. Prince where are you going?" Keiran asked. "I'm going to kill you." Ashfur snarled seeing nothing but red as he tried to choke his father. "Prince!" Keiran shouted pulling his husband off his father. "We need him alive." He reminded him. "For now." He added. "Psyco." Derek growled refusing to show his fear of what his son was truly capable of. "Guess it runs in the family huh?' Ashfur snarled back. "Let's get out of here until we cool off and have a calm mindset kay?" Keiran asked. Ashfur snarled at Derek again walking out. "You have a new step-brother Desiderus or Dezi for short." Derek said. Keiran glared at his mate's father. "I didn't ask for a step-brother. Wait. Your with someone?" Ashfur asked. "Yes her name is Kira and you will get along with her and by the way he's not allowed in the same room as you. It'll make Kira uncomfortable." Derek said. "Oh so she's homophobic great." Keiran said. "Wait. So you're telling me that we can't touch each other intimately because my new step-mother is homophobic?" Ashfur asked. "That's what your father said." Keiran said. "Oh my god how stupid." Ashfur said. "Tell me about it." Keiran said. The Alpha male's hand slid down to his thigh, rubbing his fingers in slow loving circles. Kira glared at them. "He's touching him." She said. "Keiran." Derek warned. "Oh my fucking God." Keiran muttered. "Watch the language Keiran Zephyr." Derek said. Keiran rolled his eyes, he hated her. Ashfur's wolf whined and he reached his hand out to comfort his husband but saw the death glare from Kira and quickly pulled his hand back. "We have decided that you're not sleeping in the same room tonight." Kira said faking the smile she flashed them. "No! We're adults." Keiran argued. "While you are under this house there is to be absolutely no intimacy whatsoever, no contact no touching no nothing." Derek said. "What the fuck!? He needs physical contact you don't understand how violent his nightmares are." Keiran spat. "He can sleep with your jacket tonight." Kira said. Keiran glared at her. "No one asked for your fucking two cents in this." He spat. "Keiran, if I have to tell you again." Derek warned. Keiran stormed off. "Then I'm going into my room." He said. "Keir.." Ashfur said. "She wants to split us apart! She hates us." Keiran said. "She's not going to. Because when I said my wedding vows and told you, I do. I meant it. I love you Keiran and I will always love you." Ashfur said. Keiran smiled softly. Ashfur kissed his lips hungrily running his tongue over his lips and pulling back teasingly. "You tease." Keiran said. Ashfur smirked. "Time for bed, get out of each other's room." Kira said. Ashfur glared at her taking Keiran's jacket and going into his room. "Bitch." Ashfur muttered. Derek opened his son's door, glaring at the beautiful Border Collie on his bed. "Out, mutt." He spat. "He's my service dog, what the hell?" Ashfur asked. "They shed." Derek said. "So what!? Ashfur asked. Keiran came into his mate's room, sensing his anger and frustration with his father. "Get. Out. Of. My. Son's. Room." Derek gritted out. "How about you?" Keiran snarled back. "Hawk come." Ashfur called as the Border Collie came into his room laying on the bed. "Good boy." Ashfur said taking his service dog vest off the wall hook and putting it on him. "I'm leaving." Ashfur said. "Uh. No. It's past curfew." Derek said. Ashfur scoffed. "So I can't take a walk?" He asked. "No." Derek said. "Oh. Great. I'm not allowed to take a walk now?" Ashfur asked, he was going to get a new blade pack but they didn't know that. "Fine. Just be back before 12:00." Derek said. Ashfur nodded. "Thank you." He said leaving the house. You shouldn't be doing this. You know that. Hollyleaf whispered. "She's making me so fucking angry. I have to. It's my only escape." Ashfur growled. Hollyleaf sighed. Ashfur walked into the blade store grabbing a blade pack as the cashier smiled at him. Hawkeye jumped on the counter wagging his tail. "Oh! Hello Hawkeye." Ethan said, giving the Border Collie some cheese, his favorite treat. "You know, your technically not supposed to feed service dogs and he's not supposed to eat human food." Ashfur teased. "Hey. He's a good boy." Ethan said. "He is a good boy, but he's not allowed to beg." Ashfur said correcting the Border Collie. Hawkeye laid at Ashfur's feet, laying on his feet when he tapped his foot nervously. Ashfur ripped open the blade pack putting the rest in Hawkeye's vest pocket. "His vest is gorgeous." Ethan complimented. "Thank you." Ashfur said checking the time. "I have to go, my father would kill me if I came home late." He said. Ethan nodded. "Take a water, make it look like you just got something to drink." He asked. Ashfur nodded. "Yeah. We have no water in that house." He said. Ethan nodded. Ashfur opened the door to see Derek glaring at him. "Where have you been?" He asked. "I just went to the store to get water, can I not do that now?" Ashfur asked. "Watch your tone boy." Derek warned again. Ashfur rolled his eyes unclipping Hawkeye's leash. "Your husband is in your room, asleep." Derek said. Ashfur nodded. "Good to know." He said. "He's not staying in there." Derek growled. "I'm aware." Ashfur said. "Good." Derek said. Ashfur went into his room smiling softly at Keiran who was indeed asleep. "Hey baby." Ashfur whispered kissing his ear softly. Keiran purred. "Hi, Prince." He said. "He's going to try to keep you out." Ashfur said. "But I won't let him. Your staying with me." He said. Keiran smiled nuzzling the back of his husband's neck. "You don't know how bad I want to ride you." Keiran whispered. Ashfur whined pushing back on him. "I want you too baby." He said. "Your father would kill me." Keiran said. Ashfur shook his head, running his hand through Keiran's gorgeous cinnamon brown hair. "He could try, but I'd protect you." Ashfur whispered biting down his husband's neck. Keiran groaned softly, tilting his head to allow Ashfur full access. "Shh. Gotta keep those gorgeous sounds in even though I want to hear them." Ashfur purred. Keiran whined softly. Ashfur ran his nails down Keiran's back making him whine. "Are they bleeding?" Keiran asked. Ashfur shook his head. "No." He said. "Babe.. We can't do this. I don't want to risk Kira or your father hearing us." Keiran said. Ashfur sighed frustratingly. "I know." Keiran murmured. "So stupid." Ashfur growled. Keiran ran his hand through Ashfur's grey flecked hair settling his racing heart. Ashfur snuggled into Keiran wrapping his arms and legs around him. "Babe.. I can't move." Keiran whined. "That's the point." Ashfur purred nuzzling into his neck. Keiran sighed. "I love you." He said. "Love you more." Ashfur said. Kira came into the room glaring at the two of them. "Your not supposed to be in each other's rooms." She spat. "Fuck off Kira." Ashfur said. Kira gasped. "I'm telling your father." She threatened. Ashfur rolled his eyes. "Go ahead." He said. "Fine!" Kira said. A throat being cleared made Ashfur snarl and glare at Derek. "What part of he's not supposed to be in your room do you not understand?" He spat. "What part of he's my husband do you not understand?" Ashfur snarled again. "None of it!" Derek yelled. "You just don't want to except it! Me and Keiran are together and your stupid homophobic wife needs to understand that and respect that. We are adults and can make decisions on our own." Ashfur spat. Derek sighed. "Your right." He said. Ashfur smirked.  "But your still not fucking under this house." He said. Ashfur glared at his father again. Keiran wanted to challenge the Alpha male but he also knew that he was still his husband's father. "Fine." Ashfur said. "And you will get along with Kira." Derek said. Ashfur rolled his eyes when his new step-mother was mentioned. "How am I supposed to get along with her when she doesn't want to get along with me!?" Ashfur asked. "Just please." Derek said. Ashfur rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll try." He said. "Thank you." Derek said. Ashfur leapt into Keiran's arms. "Carry me to my room." He said. "Yes, Prince." Keiran said smiling. Ashfur whined nuzzling into Kerian's neck when he tried to put him down. "Baby, I need to set you on the bed." The Alpha male said. Hawkeye jumped on the nightstand, knocking the blade pack off. "Babe. What is this?" Keiran asked, picking it up. "I had to! It's my only escape I was going to put them back when I was done using it." Ashfur said. Keiran sighed worriedly sitting on his husband's bed. "Do we need to take the step-zero method again to stop this once and for all?" He asked. Ashfur shrugged. "We can't keep doing this, it isn't healthy Prince." Keiran said. "Then make them stop!" Ashfur spat. Keiran tilted his head. "Make who stop?" He asked. "The dreams the endless thoughts circling my brain constantly." Ashfur said. A cleared throat behind them made Ashfur jump. "How many times do I have to tell you to keep out of each other's rooms?" Derek asked. "Get a fucking life!" Keiran spat. "You get a life!" Derek spat back. "I have a life, you get a life!" Keiran shouted. "Don't you backtalk me Keiran Zephyr. I will suspend the internet for a month again." Derek snarled back. "No! Please don't. I just got it up and working." Keiran said. "Then watch the attitude." Derek said. "Fine." Keiran said. "He suspended the internet for a month?"
