The Brother I Never Knew
Chapter 19
Emily P.O.V
I stared at him in disbelief.
“What do you mean he’s a sociopath?” I asked confused.
“I mean he has mental issues. I read his records and after another incident happened when he was in fifth grade he was taken to a specialist and was diagnosed,” Sam said.
I knew what a sociopath was. But I can’t imagine Jamie being one. Sam must be able to read my mind.
“I know he is a good boy Em, but believe me he’s dangerous,” He said.
“What do we do? Is there a medication or something?” I asked.
“A medication was recommended but his mother never got it for him,” Sam said.
I always knew his mother wasn’t the best. But how could she not do this for her child? If he needs medication why didn’t she get it for him?
“So what does this mean? He hasn’t gotten into any fights that we know of, have you talked to him about this?” I asked.
“Yes right before dinner,” He said.
“How did he act?”
“Cool, calm, indifferent. Like talking to a robot,” He said frustrated.
Just then there was a loud crash and the sounds of beastly growls filled the air.
“Oh no Jamie!”

Leah P.O.V
“What do you know huh?!” I angrily. “What would some kid know about love; your own mother didn’t even love you enough!”
After I said that I lowered my head in shame. I should NOT have said that. It was uncalled for. I guess he was right I was still in love with Sam. I have been trying so hard not to be mean and heartless. I guess you can’t teach an old dog a new trick, no pun intended.
“Look I’m sorry,” I apologized. But the apology died in my throat when I saw him shaking with Rage.
He looked me in the eyes.
“Leah,” He said the he burst into fur…and claws.
I was thrown back by the explosion. That could happen if you where to close to someone who phased. I quickly stood up and my breath. There standing on the small porch was a giant white wolf. It was strangely beautiful. The whiteness made it seem to glow in the dark night, its nose was an inky black was more noticeable because of how white the fur was. The second thing I noticed was how big it was. It was just a little bit smaller then Sam, but it was also a lot slimmer then he was. The third thing I noticed was it was staring right at me…and I could see the white ivory’s in its massive mouth.

Jamie P.O.V
Confusion.
Can’t think to many smells, to many sounds, to many….voices. Voices in my head.
“I hate patrolling this time, my show is on.”
“I wonder if I should ask her out?”
“Man I wish something would happen I’m ready for a fight.”
“Wait who is that?”
“I don’t think I know him.”
“What’s going on? Something’s wrong with him.”
“My god listen to his thoughts he’s crazy!”
“Wait isn’t that Sam’s brother?”
Voices in my head, where are they! I don’t like this no one should be in here but me.
A sound draws my attention to a creature in front of me. I think of a single word, Leah. The name brings forth a flash of images that make no sense to this mind. The female is a wolf, I can smell it. But she did something to anger me. The bitch must be taught her place.
I bare my teeth thinking she would submit to my dominance. Instead she kept her eyes on me, and slowly backed away. She would not submit to me, she will submit. I lean back on my legs and jump forth. The female dodges me, she’s fast. The female burst’s into fur and a silver wolf is before me. We circled each other our hackles raised.
“Leah!” A voice shouted.
The female and I turned to look and there were three males, they all smelled of wolf.
“My god, Jamie?” The male in the middle said. A name popped into my mind to go with that face, Sam. More images flashed in my mind but they make no sense. I knew the middle man was the Alpha. He reeked of authority. He may be an Alpha but he wasn’t my Alpha.
“What’s wrong with him why doesn’t he recognize you?” Said the youngest.
“I don’t know lets Phase see if he can hear us,” The Alpha said.
They all burst into fur and there where wolves where the men once stood. Two new voices joined the voices in my head.
“Jamie can you hear me?” The voice asked.
To many wolves, too much danger.. Must run. I spun around and ran away from them all.
“Jamie No!” The Alpha shouted.
I ignored him and ran as fast as I could. But no matter how fast I ran I couldn’t out run the voices.
“Jesus he is almost as fast as Leah, well never catch him Sam,” A voice said.
“I know Jared, everyone forget about patrol. Cut him off make sure he doesn’t go anywhere near the people. But do not engage him unless you must,” The Alpha ordered.
They were planning to attack me. I have to run as fast as I can. I have to run from the voices before they catch me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leah P.O.V
Crap!
This is my entire fault. I shouldn’t have set him off.
“It would have happened sooner or later sis, better now than later,” Seth said.
“Damn it he is too fast. Seth I’m going after him... I’ll slow him down until you all catch up,” I told him.
“Leah I don’t think that is what Sam wants,” Seth said.
Damn, I forgot we aren’t connected with Sam. Oh well I don’t need him to tell me what to do right now.
“Leah wait!”Seth shouted.
I heard Sam and Jared bark, trying to get me to come back. But I was gone. Of all the new wolves no one was as fast as me. Maybe females are the faster of the sexes.
Soon Jared, Seth and Sam were left in the dust and I was flying through the woods. I could see him up ahead. The white of his fur stood out even in the darkness. It took me a little longer then usual to catch up to him. Man he was fast….but I was faster.
Once I was close enough I leapt forward and jumped on top of him. He made a surprised yelp and we were both balls of fur rolling on the ground. Soon however he shook me off and I went flying. I landed on the ground and rolled to my side. I stood up and dashed out of the way just in the nick of time. Jamie landed right where I was a second ago, his jobs snapping at the air.
We circled each other growling and snarling. It wouldn’t take long for the others to show up. Question was if I would still be alive by then.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam P.O.V
Damn it Leah!
She shouldn’t be going after him alone. Times like this I wish I was still connected to her, that way I could tell her to back off. I didn’t want her or him to get hurt.
Jamie what is wrong with him? Why is he acting like this? Sure being a wolf is disorienting at first, but with all of us trying to talk him down he should be normal. There was only one reason I could think he was acting like this. It must be because of his sociopathy.
“Sociopathy?”
“Sociopathy?”
“Sociopathy?”
“Sociopathy?”
“Sociopathy?”
That single word was repeated throughout over a dozen minds. Some didn’t know what that was, but others knew exactly what it was and soon the information of the condition spread like a disease. Now the secret would be impossible to keep. Shit I didn’t mean for that to happen. There was only one way to stall everyone from finding out. Sooner or later people would find out but I’d rather it later then sooner.
“Listen to me all of you, I order you all to tell no one of this. Do you hear me NO ONE,” I ordered.
I felt my power as Alpha spread though out those listening, they would have no choice but to obey now. I hated to have to do this but I must protect Jamie.
I could see through his eyes as he and Leah circled. I heard his primitive thoughts as he thought the best way to kill Leah. That’s right kill, not maim, or hurt, kill.
“JAMIE STOP NOW!” I roared. I summoned every ounce of power, and authority in my body.
I felt some part of him recognize my order. For a split second his body froze and ceased its movement. But then the unthinkable happened, he resisted my command.
“How?” I asked.
“Maybe it’s his mind set?” Jared said.
“Can’t be, it’s our wolf that makes us obey the command,” I said.
I had an image of him lunging at Leah and knocking her on her side. He then pined her to the ground and was about to tear her throat out.
“STOP I ORDER YOU!” I roared.
He hesitated but only for a second. But that was all Leah needed. She rolled away then sprang forth, to quick to see and clawed his side. It wasn’t lethal but it would slow him down.
I felt the others heading for us. The three of us would get there soon and hopefully put an end to this madness…hopefully.

Jamie P.O.V
The voices inside my head, telling me what to do. I don’t like it. My side hurts where the female clawed me.
There was a voice in my head. It was different. Cold, rational, logical. It had been lost, but it was slowly but surely my cage was growing stronger. Soon it would put me away. But I wasn’t going to give up without a fight.
