Chapter 9: Secrets And More Secrets
[GABE]
"Are you stupid or what? Why the hell would you cut his hair?" Alpha Ashton boomed at the three boys once they reached the alpha's office in the Grealor pack house.
It was a beautiful mansion that hosted rotten people and it wasn't surprising that Gabe had turned out the way he had.
"I don't understand what the fuss about the outcast is anyway. Besides, his hair will still grow, won't it? You're angry like we chopped his ears off or something," Gabe casually said to his father who was staring at his son like the little bastard was a new species for him.
His son truly was something.
"You little—" Alpha Ashton began before sighing defeatedly.
"I don't care what you do to him, but never cut a man's hair, it is considered bad luck, you idiot," Alpha Ashton said, even though his tone wasn't as convincing.
The Grealor children always had their hair cut off occasionally, but there had never been any bad luck associated with that.
However, the longer Gabe stared at his father's eyes, the more he realized that there was a whole different reason for that. So he didn't push further, lest his father tell them what he wasn't ready to divulge.
Gabe had learned over the years as he trained to be the next alpha, that some questions were better left unanswered and the question of the outcast's hair was one of them and he understood that so well.
If his father ever wanted to share what the secret was, then Gabe would always be ready to listen, but until then, he would not do anything to the contrary.
