The Werewolf's Chapter 123: The surprise visit

Chapter 123: The surprise visit.

Alanis.

I decided to pay father a visit.

He was not upset with . The last ti I saw him, all I felt was disappointnt and anguish. It almost feels like he is upset with himself. He is the one that made

who I am today.

He turned

into the person I have beco. Not just by saving my life. the day he gave

a second chance, he promised to always be there for . I was just a kid, seventeen years old. I thought my life was over, I was prepared to die but he saw more in

and he gave

a second chance. I lived the rest of my life looking up to him. He taught

to be kind, we were not like the rest of the vampires. We lived a vegetarian lifestyle. With the intention of not harming humans. I am grateful to him because he made

who I am today and now I feel like he is angry with himself, sohow feeling guilty for everything I have been dealt with.

Even though I don’t feel like this is a punishnt, he thinks it is. The day he gave

his blessings, I knew he didn’t want to. Deep down, he hasn’t accepted Beau. I chose to do the mating ritual without getting him to co around to it because there was no ti. I really wish I eventually end up convincing him that this isn’t a mistake.

I don’t know what I am hoping for going to the house today. I just want him to see

after because I know he is worried. Belis called Eligio. Father has been beside himself and he doesn’t even know about Darrien. Darrien is being stubborn. He didn’t get approval, I wouldn’t even call it approval because Cranwell is supportive even thought he doesn’t agree. I don’t even think he knows about Darrien and Jabi. To him, I am the only flawed one amongst all his children.

’’Are you sure you are ready to face him today?’’ El asks .

I know he is just worried. Maybe it is too soon. I an, with the whole talk of different scents in , I feel like he will be able to tell if everything Blue said is accurate. Maybe I want him to notice and then he can explain this to .

’’I need to let him know that I am okay.’’

El nods ’’I kinda already told Belis. Father is still worried but at least his mind is at rest now.’’

I nod as we walk out of the house together. These past couple of days has been exhausting. We haven’t really been getting any rest. Every one of us has to keep our eyes and ears open. Cassius is cunning and we cant have another ambush situation.

I don’t want Beau to have to lose any of his family again.

I don’t know if he will be able to handle it.

Cassius just keeps taking and taking and the more he takes, the more hurt my baby is. I am tired of wiping tears from his face. I only want to see his smile. So if I have to wear myself out all night and stand guard, to stop him from crying, then I will do that for the rest of my life.

’’Do you want

to co with?’’ he suggests as we get closer to the gates.

Beau started his training this morning. He was pretty excited and I am excited for him. this will be the boost that he needs. I want his confidence levels to rise up just like when I first t him. a lot has happened and he hasn’t handled all those things so well. All the deaths and lost fights have crushed him and if Jules can bring that zeal back. I will be eternally grateful.

’’Will you be able to leave Elu here?’’ I ask him, knowing full well that he doesn’t feel safe leaving his girlfriend here.

He shrugs ’’She’ll co with,’’ he responds.

’’But we need you guys here. I don’t want to leave the community blind. You are the only eyes and ears I have here. Do you need anything from ho? I can bring it for you.’’

I discourage him because all the tis the pack has been attacked. They were unguarded. I trust Darrien and Eligio to protect everyone else. I will feel better if they are here.

’’sure, maybe a couple of clean clothes from my closet. I don’t think Elu needs anything. She brought a massive suitcase with her.’’

We stop in front of the gates and Olin smiles at us. Olin is one of the older wolves. Beau ntioned that he was a friend to his father. They had been friends since they were young. Now he is the only one of the three of them that is still here. I don’t know how he is feeling, the sense that he couldn’t protect his people, he couldn’t save his friend. it must be eating him up but you wouldn’t even be able to tell with the smile on his face.

’’Heading out?’’ he asks, opening the gates for us.

’’Yeah, have so errands to run,’’ I explain.

He smiles faintly as he closes the door on us. we are trying our best to create fewer opportunities for an ambush.

’’Let

know how much of a freak out he has,’’ El tells .

I nod because I know he is going to have a silent freak out. Cranwell is not very expressive but the mont he reaches his limit. He can’t help but express himself.

I hope today won’t be his limit.

I plan to run ho. That is the fastest way to get to where I want to go. I don’t want to have to deal with the baggage of a car. I get to the house in less than ten minutes and there is a car in the driveway. I am still outside at the driveway. There are different scents coming from inside the house. They are all unrecognisable to

but also familiar.

They are vampires.

I don’t know if I want to walk into whatever situation is going inside right now. I planned to co and see father. Talk to him about all that is happening but if he has guests, do I really want to intrude on them?

It’s the fear of facing right now that is pulling

away. The front door opens and Belis walks out before I can escape. I have half a mind to go back to the community without seeing him. I can just co back later.

’’Are you going to stand outside for the rest of the day?’’

His voice is cold. Lately, Belis has been a lot colder with . it is not like we ever had a relationship like that. Belis is the oldest. He is the most stuck up amongst all of us. unlike Eligio, he doesn’t feel the need to involve himself in all my issues. He has this mind your business and act as a family attitude.

All through everything that has happened to , he has never once talked to

about it. he has never even tried to be there for . hell, I am not blaming him, it is mutual. I stay out of his life and he does the sa. That way, there are not problems that can arise.

’’It seems like father has guests.’’ I retort.

He laughs ’’Oh no, they are not father’s guest. They are yours.’’ He answers, not expatiating any further.

I furrow my brows in confusion. They cant be my guest. How did they even know I was coming.

’’Who are they?’’ I ask panicking.

I don????t know if I can handle any more surprises. With everything that has happened, I just want to avoid anything that might shock .

’’You should co inside and find out,’’ with those words, he walks back inside the house, leaving

standing there with shaking hands.

I can’t leave because Belis has seen

but I also don’t want to know who these guests are. Sohow, I have an idea. There are only one possible group of people that will want to see

and I don’t think I want to see them right now.

Shit.

I decide to go into the house, their voices suddenly beco clearer. A man is talking. His voice is very soothing. Like the wind on a cold autumn night. his words feel like a trance that draws

deeper into the room.

’’I see, so the ritual was done?’’ the voice mutters suddenly becoming stiff.

I stop in front of the living room, unsure of how to react to their conversation. ’’I thought we agreed on a eting. This was not supposed to happen without our blessing,’’ that sa man announces.

I know they are talking about

and the fact that they ntioned the ritual, just lets

know that my assumptions were right.

The fore ones are here and they don’t sound too pleased.
