A slap was heard across the room, blood staining his teeth, he could feel it dripping down from his mouth, the driving pain through his jaw was too much. He looked to up straight into the eyes of the person he loved the most. he felt hurt and betrayed, what was happening right now was not what he had in mind, and it was also something his mother did not also have in mind before she died, she felt he was going to be safe in this family but unexpectedly he has suffered more than one could imagine
"You are a disgrace, I can't even imagine having a son like you, I hate you more and more every time I see you. I just have to bear with it because I promised your worthless mother that I will take care of you and I'm also sure she didn't know you would be like this if not she would have disposed of you the very moment you were born. DARUS SAID looking at Salen as if he was something nasty, he felt itches all over his body, he felt something climbing up to him the second he found out that his son was a Ger. As if that was not enough for him, he was born without power's how insignificant can he be. The whole family looking at him like something that was not supposed to exist
NYRA stepped forward and raised his head and gave him large smirk ''All you have is this pretty face of yours I can't even tell apart if you were a woman or a man from afar. it's not surprising I always knew you were not something that shouldn't be kept by us or someone I should say. she looked up at Darus and said' I told you we should not keep him, but you kept insisting that he was your only son now you that son is no longer a son a what should we do. she gave the loudest laugh you could ever hear she felt right for the first time she found a way to get rid of me. Salen sisters or should I say stepsisters were no distinct from her, you could only see pity in Aris's eyes. Aris was the eldest out of the five children Darus had. she was the only one that felt that Salen was still human even his own biological father didn't even think he was worthy of been called human
Aris stepped forward to her father before another slap was about to land on him again, but she caught his hands mere seconds before he strikes
''father what do you want us to do to him; he is still your son she asked her father with teary eyes she could not believe her own father treated Salen like this
Salen was the only one that made her feel at home in this miserable place she could called home she knew the kind of temper her father and mother had.
Darus pushed and gave a slap to Aris that shocked everyone.
''when was it you turn to speak here, he said looking at her with disgust, but father she was about to speak,
''father what, he interrupted her you also want your part with this animal I'm afraid I shall comply with your request. Her mother dragged her back and to her to be quiet for now.
Salen looked at the only people he called family. He felt weak, he didn't know why but today he found out why he was always weak he was a ger, it was not surprising no wonder he has always been weak he couldn't even compete with his sisters. He could not even defend himself against the humiliation he faced. He did not want the tears he has been holding to flow but he couldn't hold it in, he knew his mother was looking at him from the heavens feeling disappointed at him, he was so helpless.
Darus turned back at him and dragged his hair making him stumble to the hard floor. He cried out because of the sharp pain he felt along his waist. he was being dragged into the one place he dreaded the most, that place was his mother's room.
'' Stay here until I decide if I should kill you or not '' DARUS said locking the room behind him.
The room was quiet and dark he could not do anything about it, It only brought back sad memories of what happened to his mother and that made him miserable. he gathered himself together and cried out begging for his mother to forgive him, he didn't know why Amaryl the goddess made him like that. behind closed doors he could hear arguments on what should be done to him, they won't let him roam around like a disgrace to the family. He knew his father won't let him live, only him could await his fate.
Everyone is expecting more from this family because in the whole of NYTHERRA, they are considered the strongest of all expect from the royal family.
