I always knew that the day that I told Bonine the truth would be the hardest day of my life, but as it turns out, thinking about it and living it are two completely different things. Seeing the look on her face as I tell her the truth is soul–destroying, and it is a look that I know will haunt me for a long time and yet, Bonnie being Bonnie despite what she is feeling or thinking, is still showing me nothing but compassion and I think it somehow makes me feel worse. 

I guess I expected her to get angry with me, not so much about the actual situation because, well, let’s face it, it wasn’t in my control, but I did lie to her… Yeah, that I expected anger for. What I didn’t expect was for her to figure out that her dad was involved so quickly. The girl doesn’t miss a trick. 

“Please believe me when I say that I wanted to tell you right away, Bonine, but as soon as I told him that, he turned nasty and threatened to hurt you if I did, and we both know what he’s already capable of. I can’t even begin to think about what he would do if he was hurting you out of revenge for me. 

“He did what?” Nicholas growls as his whole body shakes and I imagine that this is incredibly hard for him to hear, especially with Bonine’s dad sitting right down the hallway. I wasn’t a fan of him at first because of the hurt that he was willing to put my mate through, but something has changed. I don’t know what it is, but if Bonine is happy, then I don’t care what it is. To watch him being so protective of my best friend warms my heart. We haven’t had time to talk about everything since discovering our mates, but I will be getting all the details asap! 

“What did he say he would do… to me?” Bonnie doesn’t seem shocked that her dad threaded her life if I told her about him and that is just heartbreaking. A girl should look up to her dad, and know that he would die protecting her, but Bonine doesn’t have that but then again, neither do I. “He didn’t say, Bon. He just said that if I told you…or anyone for that matter, that he would destroy you. I… I also told him that I was going to reject him the moment I turned 18, and again he threatened your life. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn’t risk it. We both know that he would stick to his word and he knew that you were the person that meant the most to me.” 

She nods as Nick whisperers something in her ear but she appears numb to my words. “Are you ok, Bon?” Yes, I know it’s a stupid question given the situation, but her silence is worrying me, I just need her to talk. She gives me a small smile as she nods her head. Im ok, Lil, really I am. I’m not surprised that he used me to try and keep you in line. If anything, I’m just fucking angry that he did that to you!” Oh, so her silence was her anger rising. Good, I’d rather she be angry than upset over that prick! 

“You said that one of the reasons he threatened you was over your plans to reject him when you turned 18, so when was it you found out? There are laws in place to protect anyone underage from finding out! Nick asks as I watch him continue to fight to keep himself under control. “Around 5 months ago. He thinks that he’s above the werewolf laws, and so he told me. Of course, I’m betting that he had already thought about how to keep me quiet if it was needed before he had even told me. 

Of course he did! Bonine practically shouts before somewhat calming herselt down enough to speak to me without deafening the entire room. “So I’m guessing you told him that you wouldn’t tell me after all?‘ I nod feeling myself tense up. I have to tell her something that isn’t great but, hopefully, she will understand. I hope she will anyway. I’ve already told my mate everything, and he understood my reasoning for what I did. He was insanely supportive, and he’s doing it again now as his hands rest on my shoulders and he gently strokes them helping to keep both Rain and I as calm as can be.
