Chapter 40

I know that I’m going to have a similar conversation with my dad but I just don’t know if I have it in me anymore to keep going over the same shume Don’t give me that look. I’m not about to tell you that I think you’re wrong or what you should or shouldn’t do when it comes in your mat. The inten my face is clear as he lowly chuckles to himsell. “You’re not? He shakes his head.

‘No, son I’m not. I don’t see the point. You are going to do what you want regardless so there’s no point in me trying to sway you one way of the other but I do want to talk to you. Now, you can listen or you can choose to ignore me the choice is yours but I’m going to talk anyway.”

I know you see the love between your mom and me. You and Will have always commented on it, and while most other kids would be grossed out of make snide comments about it like Shane and Robbie, neither you nor Will ever have if anything, both of you have always admired it and I’ve always been proud to show off my love for your mom. We’ve both always been proud to be able to show all of our kids how love can be. I nod not saying a word but I am listening. “The moment any of you turned 18 we wished that you would find good mates who would love and make you happy no matter what.”

“I know, mom told me that before when she was drunk.” We both laugh knowing how my mom gets when she’s had a few too many drinks. The wontan loves a good gossip! “Well, it seems that our wish has come true for Shane. I know something is going on with Lily but I can also see the person she is and I believe that she will be perfect for him. And as for you…”

“Well, I don’t know much about you mate, as much as you do I believe but already I see a kind heart and someone who just wants to love and be loved. Someone who has been hurt but wants to heal and I see the same thing in you.

I know that whatever path you decide to go on is going to be hard for you and I will support you no matter what happens but all I ask is that you are 1000% sure about your decision. I want you to know with absolute certainty that you have made the right decision for the right reasons and not because you think you should make it or it is what others want you to do.”

This is one of the many reasons why I love this man and his advice is one of the reasons he was always an incredible Alpha, the type of Alpha I hope to be one day. “What is the main reason for you rejecting her, son? I know the obvious and maybe I’m wrong but I get the feeling that it’s not all as black and white as you’re making it out to be.” Fuck, it’s moments like this that I both love and hate how much my dad truly knows me.

‘It doesn’t make you weak to feel emotions, son. It doesn’t make you less of an Alpha if you express how you’re feeling and if you want to talk to me then whatever is said right here right now is between us and no one else needs to know.

I hate to admit it but he’s right and my dad’s a good man, the best, and if I can’t talk to him about how I feel then I doubt I could talk to anyone else. I run my hand over my hair and down my face as I try to figure out how to say how I feel but I can’t so instead I just start spilling out all of my fears to my dad in the middle of the hospital hallway.

“What if I was to give it a chance but I couldn’t let go of what happened? What if I give it a chance and tell her what happened for it to be too much for her and have her walk away? I don’t think I could cope if that happened. What if I go in there and tell her I want her as my Mate but she doesn’t want that? I’ve been a bastard and a coward and I wouldn’t blame her for not wanting me after how I’ve been to her but putting my heart on the line for her to run

would kill me.”

‘Finally, some real truths, son. I can’t tell you that none of that won’t happen but what if you go in there and tell her you want her and she wants you to dispute how you have acted? What if you go in there and tell her your story and she still accepts you and your past? What if you go in there and you get everything that I know you want despite what you may say? Is facing this situation head–on scary for you? Absolutely but isn’t it better to live with knowing you tried rather than living with the regret of just walking away? Look at how you’ve raised Lottie.

go.”

‘I need to talk to her don’t I?” There’s so much more I want to say but that’s what it comes down to. I can’t just let her go, not before we’ve at least talked about some stuff. “You do, son and it needs to come from your heart.” I know It does and that’s the problem because while my head is still telling me to reject her and send her in her way, my heart is saying to go in there and never let her out of my sight again, and right now, I have no clue what to do.
