Begging In Silence

Chapter Three.

Thane's P.O.V

After what happened I couldn't stand behind inside the house so I went to Ares and I's hideout. Sighing, I let my body relax in the water as I float, if everything that's weighing on my shoulders was actual weight I'd be sinking to the bottom right now. How could I have done that? Especially to Ares, what is wrong with me?

Ever since I can remember I've always been the dark knight of the family and of the pack. It was worse when we were kids, I was always angry and over aggressive, fighting with whoever got in my way and eventually everyone started saying that I had a dark aura, like my father. I think what frustrates me the most is that I have no reason to be this way, I grew up better than most kids, I had loving parents, a warm home and a community that treats me like a king but still .. I turned out this way while having a brother who's basically perfect, an Angel.

Getting out of the water I take out my phone and make the call.

Unknown: Thanatos

Thane: I need your help

Unknown: What's wrong? Are you and Ares alright?

Thane: How quickly can you get here?

Unknown: I can be there first thing in the morning.

Thane: Okay.

Hanging up I sigh, this might just hurt my parents a little bit. But at this point I don't have a choice, I'm willing to be the bad guy to protect the people I love, I just hope they understand one day. I hope my mate does too. Because Ares and I are twins the thought of us sharing a mate has always worried me, seeing the Alo brothers, Nate and Nathaniel almost kill each other because they couldn't share their mate really made me wonder if Ares and I would wind up being the same. Would she love us equally? More importantly, would she love me for who I truly am? Or would I be an outcast in our relationship. I hear someone coming and figure it's Ares.

"Thane." Don't say my name like that, with such calmness.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to take you home." I grit my teeth, no matter how far I take it or how bad things get, he always finds me and is always the one to comfort me. He never stays mad at me for too long and sometimes I think he pities me, which I hate. It eats me up inside whenever I hurt him, I just wish he'd hate me a little bit instead of being understanding all the time.

Ares's P.O.V

Finally getting home, mom is the first to quickly wrap her arms around Thane, hugging him.

"Alright mom." He says in protest, dad pats his back and I can't help smiling. Everyone kind of avoids the elephant in the room after that, this is actually how it's always been. If something happens regarding Thane they look past it. Thane heads up to his room and everyone carries on with whatever they were doing.

"Are we not going to talk about it again? Like always?" I ask as we're all sitting at the dining table.

"Ares-"

"Mom, seriously." I look at my father. "Dad?" He keeps quiet. "When Thane lost control of his powers it was as if he was being controlled by someone else. The way he spoke, that wasn't him."

"Ares!" My mother protests

"He has the right to know!" I retort.

"It is not your place." I look at my father.

"I am the future Alpha of this pack and so is he. How do you guys expect us to run this pack peacefully if we keep secrets from each other that could destroy us?! If we can't rely on each other then who can we rely on?"

"I don't know how to control my powers." I look at him, we all do. "I haven't been able to from the day I got them and everything we've tried so far has not worked."

"Maybe we can-" He cuts mom off.

"Which is why I called aunt Miley." Mom's face changes and I can see dad is angry.

"You did what?" She says through gritted teeth.

"She'll be here in the morning." He adds walking away.

"You had no right to do that, this is a family matter!"

"Zendea."

"Mom." I say.

"I had no right?" He asks turning around. "I'm like this because of you and dad! You guys ruined my life, no one else so don't stand there and tell me I had no right because of your own personal reasons. What is it going to take for you to realise that my powers are dangerous, that I am dangerous huh?! I almost killed Ares. Is that not enough?" With teary eyes Mom approaches him.

"Thane." But he steps back, distancing himself from us then leaves. Ever since the day we got our powers his powers have been like this dark cloud, taunting him constantly and I hate that he's going through this alone.

"Whatever he chooses to do, I'll have his back and I'll stand beside him." I say with my back still turned. Finally looking at them I sigh. "If you guys try to stand in his way, I will do everything in my power possible to remove you as the problem. I promise." I head upstairs. "Are you sure about this?"

"I've run out of operations, this is not just about me, it's about you, mom, dad and everyone else. I don't want to endanger the people I care about."

"Okay."

"Thank you." He looks at me. "It couldn't have been easy turning on mom and dad."

"I'm your brother, I'll always have your back." I wish I could do more, I wish I could lighten your burden but I can't and I hate myself for it. I hate that you're going through this alone.

"Cut it out!" Catching me off guard I chuckle.

"What are you babbling about?"

"I can feel your emotions remember? Shits fucken depressing."
