Becca.I wanted my parent's forgiveness but even though I have suffered and gone through a lot in the past seven years since I left home, a part of me feels so guilty, as if I’m getting their forgiveness too easily.“Of course we forgave you a long time ago. We are here because it is your forgiveness we need. As parents who should know better, we should have handled it better. We should never have threatened to disown you when we did not mean it.” My mother’s voice recalled me back to the present as she accepted their roles in the play of things quietly in tears and I could hear the sniffles my father could not hide.Wrapping my arms more tightly around them, I felt the frailness of their bodies and I felt a wrenching pain in my heart. And it was in this position my friend and kids walked in, having forgotten to lock the door after the surprise I got from my parents.To my greatest surprise, I was immensely shocked when my kids immediately looked at my parents and then ran to them in
Becca.That particular day? You mean Christos had gone to my parents with the kids while telling me to have a deep nap? And to think it was the same day I came across the hidden pendant? Wow, just wow!Which pops the question. ‘Would he have told me about that visit if we had not fought and I left?’‘Considering the length he went to, to make sure I did not suspect anything, I doubt it.’ A voice answered and I gave a little frown which my son intercepted correctly.“We were not trying to hide anything from you Mum. As a matter of fact, our plan was to help you recover from the amnesia by giving your parents back to you. But first, we had to judge the situation, check if they are good grandparents that deserve our love and then surprise you with them.” Eric murmured softly and I did not know how to feel about that confession.They had truly believed in the amnesia story and thought to help me remember my family? What did I do to deserve such kids as wonderful as these?“And that’s the
Becca.Ever since we moved back to our old house, Christos Fernandez has been to our home more times than I cared to count either to take the kids out or to say a quick hello to them and my parents and just like the old days of courtship, I found myself hiding in my room until I knew the coast was clear. Of course, every time I did this, my mother always looked at me sympathetically while shaking her head at the same time, as if she still did not understand why I was causing myself so much pain when all I had to do was accept the man back in our lives.While I had made it plain I have forgiven the man for what happened seven years ago, I refused to discuss the other topic with him or any other person. To explain the main reason I was going through hell and agony. How do I explain to my parents what my eyes saw that day? And how in hell do I even expect them to understand?And the kids? How do I tell them I am not only married to a werewolf but that they might also be a werewolf? Dios!
Becca.“Don’t you think you have to see a doctor, darling? You have been at this for awhile now” My mother murmured softly and this got the attention of the others at the dining table. I cringed when I felt their concern on my face. The last thing I want them to think is that I was dying but how to convince them I am not at death’s door when it feels like it?“Are you feeling sick, Mum?” Erica murmured softly and having tried my best to hide it from them all day, I did not appreciate having to admit to the truth now.“Hmm I don’t think it’s anything serious, my darlings. Mum is just experiencing mild pains in her head and chest.” I tried to play down how I was feeling with an assuring smile but I knew I failed when neither of the kids returned my smile. Oh sh!t“Should we call Dad so he can take you to the hospital?” My son was already getting up as he proposed this and I could see my Dad nodding in support. Mustering the little energy I had left, I bent to the side to stop my son. Ho
Becca. All these thoughts were going through my head when it finally dawned on me that apart from their sharp intakes when I asked the question, the two men in front of me had uttered no words of confirmation or disagreement. What’s going on? I opened my eyes to give them a peek from under my lashes and I saw the shock on their faces but when the other man, Frank caught my gaze he finally gave a little cough before offering a sympathetic smile. “I’m sorry if we gave the wrong impression Ma’am. Of course the Alpha isn’t dead, we aren’t here to announce his demise, I’m sorry if you thought otherwise.” He quickly tried to allay my fear but by then, it was too late. After an intense relief at this news came a blistering anger and I glared at both of them wrathfully. “How dare you walk in here with those expressions and make me fear the worst had happened?” I asked coldly of them and it felt as if they bowed their heads in shame. But only for a moment because almost immediately, the a
Becca.Unable to endure my own thoughts though, I increased the pace of my running and in minutes, I was using the key in front of the door and bursting into the private room that I had once thought to be beautiful and masculine.What met my eyes caused the greatest shock to my system and I stood with my mouth agape, unable to believe my eyes. “Christos?” I screeched and when instead of an answer, a chair flew across my head to hit the wall behind me, I screamed and bellowed in an angry voice that must have shocked the beast in the room because he immediately went quiet and turned to me.As if surprised to know there is even someone crazier than he is, the big white wolf in the room turned slowly to face me with penetrating green eyes that was wide with shock and I knew he was confused to see me in the room.Later if they should ask me, I know I will never be able to answer where the bravery to stand and look at him came from. A part of me that was still thinking rationally knew it’s
Becca. Fired by my words, he became more excited and again, it felt as if two people were making love to me and I knew his wolf had decided to join in the fun fare which for a reason got me even more fired up and I could not believe the words that came out of my mouth.“His name? What’s your wolf’s name?” I heard myself asking and I could feel his shock as he pursed within me. Just when I thought he would stop or say nothing, I heard the softly whispered word.“Lightning. His name is Lightning.” His tone was very soft which only got me more enticed as he lashed his mouth on my nipple through my cloth. “Lightning.” I murmured softly as I tasted the sound of it on my lips and I was mildly surprised to find how suitable it felt to call him right now.‘Yes, Mate.’ The words dropped into my chest and I could have sworn it was him replying to me. Feeling a radiant smile taking over my face, I blushed ruthlessly as the man before me gave me a sexual look that was toe curling.“Oh please do
Becca.Having read the book, I wasn’t surprised to hear that and it’s obvious he knew because almost in the same breath, he continued.“Unfortunately, such was not my case because my mate came just a year after that memorable night with you and despite my wolf’s attempt to make me give our mate a chance, I could not forget the memory of that night despite not knowing who you were or exactly what happened between us. All I know is, that night with you felt as if I didn’t only share my body but I equally shared my soul and I knew it would be wrong to commit myself to another woman when every moment was consumed by you. So I did the craziest thing in the werewolf’s world, I rejected my Mate.” In a tone that was filled with remembered pain, he narrated softly and I blinked.‘He rejected his mate because of me? But that’s crazy.’ Having read all about werewolves and their world, I know one of the few most painful things a wolf can do is to reject his chosen mate.As if he could hear my tho
