Chapter 35

Alpha Nicholas

It’s been two days since I brought Bonnie to the doctor and she’s still unconscious and I’ve not left her room. I shower in the ensuite bathroom attached to her room and my brothers, Lily, and my parents bring me anything I need along with endless amounts of fond that I don’t want. Since the moment the doc left us alone I’ve felt sick and I’m pretty sure that Storm is feeling the same, only I don’t know for sure because he hasn’t spoken to me since we got here. Of course, before he went on a silent strike he made sure I knew what he thought.

He said that this is all my fault, that if I had accepted my mate the night we met then she wouldn’t have been hurt and she wouldn’t he here, and as much as I want to deny it I can’t, he’s right. This is all my fault and the idea of her being hurt because of me feels like a knife to the heart.

“Hey, Dad. Lottie’s soft voice takes my attention away from where I’ve been standing at the window thinking over these last few girls. My brothers and parents have all made it clear that they believe that I’m in the wrong for pushing my mate away, although they still have my back. My daughter, however, is the only one who hasn’t had a bad word to say to me, not yet anyway. She has spent most of her time here with me and I don’t think she’ll ever realize how

much it means to me.

nd hugs me tightly.”How’s she doing?” She looks at a still–unconscious “Hey, Baby girl.” Her beautiful smile lights up the room as she walks over to me Bonnie with a sad smile. After I refused to leave the room she started getting suspicious and in the end I had to tell her who Bonnie was. She was shocked to discover the truth but not so shocked to hear that I had planned on rejecting her. Lottie knows my reasons and if anyone understands them then it’s her but I know that deep down she wishes that I would change my mind and yet she still supports me.

“There’s no change. She’s still not woken up.” I feel her tense before she goes to sit down next to Bonnie and starts whispering to her. After the doctor examined Bonnie, he confirmed what Lexi said about Bonnie receiving a beating the night before we found her. He also told us that there are older bruises on her body, a lot of them, and that she is severely underweight which can only lead me to believe one thing… she’s getting abused by someone.

After hearing that all I wanted to do was tear the room apart but I couldn’t and I couldn’t leave her either so I’ve had to hold it in while Storm gave me the silent treatment, and I’d be lying if I said that it wasn’t getting harder and harder to control. Why would anyone do that to her? I tried not to jump to conclusions and blame any of her family but their reactions to her state have not helped one bit.

Her brother left the packhouse as originally planned and went back to his pack while her father and sister stayed here but have barely been to visit and even when they do come here, her sister does nothing but flirt with me and I swear it’s taken all I have not to throw her off my pack lands but I can’t. Until I know what’s going on I have to let her stay for Bonnie’s sake but fuck I wish she was gone already.

“Dad, come sit down.” I drag my ass over to Lottie taking the seat next to her already knowing that were about to have a conversation that I don’t want. Lottie has this look to her when she’s about to tell you things that you don’t want to hear even if you need to. She’s also incredibly grown up for a 16–year- old girl and while I’ve brought her up to speak her mind and not back down from anyone, in recent years it’s come back to bite me in the ass… often.

‘Dad, I know why you’ve never wanted a mate, I do, I get it but now that you’ve met her, can’t you even consider it? Just look at her she’s beautiful and she’s got such a good heart you said that yourself.”
