Chapter 269 Eyes 

Roan’s pov. 

“Why don’t we give your Grandparents some time to figure out how to answer your question, while you answer a question I have.” I say after a Servant has brought us some coffee. I wait until everyone has their coffee before I decide to ask Gillean my question, I wanted to ask the second I heard it but it was clear that he needed some time to process a few things. 

“When did you live in White Rock Pack?” I ask and both Jaylen and Morgan look from me to Gillean. 

I give Gillean the time he needs to start talking, because I have an idea that this isn’t an easy story for him to tell anyone. “I remember it was close to my fifth birthday, Mom and Dad were on, what Grandma called, their date night. Not that I had any idea what that meant at that time, all I knew was that Mom and Dad were gone for the evening and Grandpa and Grandma stayed with us. Gillean says. 

It isn’t difficult to see that this is bringing back bad memories, “I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of sirens, Grandma took me and my Brothers to the living room and Grandpa went outside to find out what was going on. He returned very quickly and I will never forget the horrified look on Grandma’s face. Gillean has walked to the window while he talked. 

“I don’t remember much of the days that followed, but was able to piece things together as I got older. I remember visiting Dad in the infirmary, he was badly injured and the thing that stood out was that Mom wasn’t with him. Before anyone could say something Dad looked at the three of us and told us that Mom was dead.” The last words barely louder than a whisper 

“After we left the infirmary I heard people talking about a service for Mom, because there was nothing left to bury. That is what I remember clearly, the rest is a bit blurry from that time. I always thought I imagined things, but I am starting to think that my Grandparents kept a huge secret from everyone. I think my Mother is still alive.” Gillean says as he turns around. 

I let his words sink in, but I can’t remember anything he said that would explain his last comment and I decide to take a chance. “Gillean, why do you think she is still alive?” I ask him. 

“Grandma reported everything that concerned our family and it was all placed in our family tree, but there is no mention of my Mother’s death. Grandpa told me a little while ago that our family kept it hidden from Alpha Mick that Lycans had been born into our family and those things combined are the reason I think that Mom is still alive.” Is the answer I get 

It is possible for a Lycan to survive an attack, if they get enough time to heal. I don’t know what happened to Gillean’s parents and there for I have no reason to assume that his Father or anyone else lied to him. However, something tells me that I shouldn’t just dismiss this and take a closer look at this with Gillean. 

“I was eight when Dad met Yara and we moved to White Rock Pack to live with her. Alpha Mick seemed relieved on one hand that Dad left, but I think he suspected something about my Dad. He looked rather sad at me when we drove away from the Pack–house and for a few years I shoved it to the back of my mind, until I saw my Father’s anger towards Yara for the first time when I was about twelve. 

After that it was as if Dad no longer cared about what I witnessed and the same thing goes for my Brothers. Callum is my senior by ten years and Shane my senior by eight years, they are just like my Father and I know there is nothing anyone can do to help them. They have been under the influence of my Father for too long.” Gillean says. 

A knock on the door gives Gillean some time to figure out what he is going to tell us next and when I open the door there is a Servant standing there with a cart full of food. “Come in and place it on the coffee table 

1/3 

please.” I say and I watch as she puts everything on the table, leaving us alone the moment she is done. 

We all eat in silence and in the meantime I let his words about his Father and his Brothers run through my mind. Titan is agitated and pacing back and forth in the back of my head, he is starting to give me a headache. I am not sure if he can handle much more, I don’t think he has ever acted this way before and I have been thinking about everything I have ever gone through in my life. 

Morgan places everything back on the cart and places outside of Gillean’s room, none of us wants someone to interrupt us again. 

“I have seen my Father and Brothers do despicable things in the two years I was aware of their behavior, but I think there is one thing I will never be able to erase from my memory. For this to make any sense, you have to understand that Yara’s house was soundproof and no matter how many times I have thought about it I still don’t understand why it was soundproof. 

It was a few weeks after I turned thirteen, I got home from school when I walked in through the backdoor. The door to the kitchen was closed and the only time that ever happened was when Yara had mopped the floor, so I decided to open the door slowly. Callum had Yara bent over the kitchen table Gillean stops talking and Morgan tells him to tells us at his own spec. 

“His hand was around her throat, she tried to scream but there was hardly any sound coming from her. Dad was sitting on the other side of the table and he told Callum to do with her what ever he liked He ripped the clothes of her back and that is when I saw that his pants were hanging around his ankles. Callum took his cock into his hand and forced it into her backdoor, that is when I snapped out of it.” Gillean could barely get the words out of his mouth. 

“I think we all get the picture, did this happen often?” Jaylen asks before he buries his nose in Morgan’s neck to calm himself and Midnight down. 

“Yes, but I think that was the worst I have ever witnessed. I tried to stop it every time, but they would always beat the shit out of me for interrupting them and the last time I tried to stop Callum it almost costed me my life. I don’t know what happened to the female that got away from him that time, but she was able to help me get out of White Rock Pack. 

That was over five years ago, Lyssa went missing a day or two before I walked out of the infirmary with Yara. I don’t know what happened to her, but knowing what Callum did to me I can imagine what he might have done to her. During my stay in the infirmary I learned a lot about how they punish females that disobey orders. If the male gets permission from the Alpha, the female gets brought to a spot outside. the territory and then she gets chased by the male in his Wolf form. No female ever survives that treatment.” Gillean says. 

Morgan looks at him curiously, while Jaylen and I both look horrified at him. A ding on Morgan’s phone pulls her attention away from him and a moment later see a huge smile form on her face. “Gillean, can 

look at this for a moment?” Morgan asks as she turns her phone towards him. 

you 

His eyes 

widen as he looks at a picture on her phone and I hear him whisper softly. “Lyssa.” 

I listen to Morgan as she tells him about a girl her Pack’s Gamma found over five years ago, “Mom and I kept her company as she slowly healed from her injuries, but she did survive and has an overprotective Father and Brother these days, Morgan says. 

Gillean is slowly shaking his head as tears run down his cheeks and I place my hand on his shoulder, because there are no words I can say to him. He probably feared that she was dead for all these years and now he finds out that she is healthy and doing well. 

Chapter 269 Eyes 

Finished 

“Gillean, you are already assigned to our unit. We recently got a new assignment from Damon and I have a personal agenda in this matter. The same goes for one of my unit members, his Father attacked his Mate without warning in Wolf form and both of us are out for blood.” Morgan says as she leans back against Jaylen’s chest. 

“We are going after White Rock Pack.” She says as she looks him in the eyes.
