ADDAMS

We weren't the same couple we were before Mrs. Lucas's loss, the girl I loved was changing from bad to worst day after day.

We spent a week scarcely discussing, she always found a way to go out and never she needed my presence.

She didn't even allow me to touch her, she was building a barrier between us, with the bit of patience that rested inside of me, I would observe her for a moment again.

I suspected that my dad was for something in her behavior.
Had he threatened her?
But how?

And what was the reason? He couldn't intimidate her, she wasn't a girl with a childish mentality. I didn't know what to think, I was perplexed.

The wolf inside of me was growling Dad was for something, he thought and felt the way I felt.

When she talked about the meeting with my dad, I had an intuition to take my gun with me, and I did it.

We entered the vehicle, and I drove to my father's mansion. She had insisted that the meeting should happen there.

I didn't want it, I had a bad premonition about but I neglected it and considered it like just a simple presage.

I knew if something happened inside my dad's estate, I wouldn't have the ability to fiercely defend myself, I would be in the territory where he was an Alpha.

Surely I was his son, though I was unable to command the pack and make them override my dad's command.

On the way to the mansion, the vehicle was filled with the silence of the cemetery, none of us had uttered a word. I was used to that situation, it withstood for a week now.

But the thing I didn't understand was why her heart was thundering inside her chest, it seemed I could hear the beats of her heart.

She was anxious, and this time despite her will, she didn't succeed to hide it, It was stronger than her.

With a glance filled with mercy toward her, I redirected immediately my stare to the road.
I had decided to not press her when she would be ready, we would talk about what she was hiding.

We reached my papa's estate and I was more than eager to know what she wanted to talk of.

I parked the car, came out, and I threw stare at my surrounding, everything was quiet, and the member of the pack who were always in the yard wasn't there.

Nobody was present as if we were in this kind of Western confrontation, this kind of confrontation between cowboys.

I didn't fear something, I knew despite the difficulty we were passing through this last time, Whitney couldn't dare throw me in a track.

She wasn't like that.
Despite everything she was my mate.

We motioned, I was cool-headed, and we entered the building.

I saw my papa, and Petterson was always beside him. The other member of the pack were also gathered in the living room, not all of them but they were more than half.

It wasn't normal, though I advanced, I didn't stop, I didn't fear them, they had no reason to attack us.

I looked at Whitney, who inched toward my dad and pressed a kiss on my father's cheek, with a hug as a greeting, leaving me behind.

She also hugged Petterson. What the hell was going on? My eyes were wide open, and my heart was racing.

I yelled out "What is going on there?"

My dad was sneering, and Petterson was looking at me with a satisfying peek.

I couldn't understand, I pushed the strand of hair back from my face and looked at Whitney after throwing my irritated glance at Dad and his beta.

"What does it means Luna" I questioned, with the beat of my heart increasing at every second which passed over.

"Sorry Addams," she said. I was alone on my side, she was in the other camp.

"Tell him, please darling" My father spoke, wrapping his hand around her waist and tightening her to him.

"For your good, you should remove your hand from her, I won't tell it twice" I growled, I was angry, my wolf was growling, and I didn't understand what was going on in my Luna's head.

"Don't get angry for something she tolerates" he said pressing his lips on her cheek.

She looked at me and didn't utter something against it.

"Sorry Addams, but..." She said and I stopped her before she could continue the sentence.

"But what?"

"What do you want to say?" I growled

"Since my mama's loss, I realized I wasn't in love with you, I didn't love you" At these words my heart fell, I felt it move from his position to the bottom of my body.

The rage overflowing inside of me was uncontrollable though I wanted to hear her and discern what was her thought.

"I realized I was with you because of my mama, I realized my mama was the one directing my will and my thoughts, I made all that things to plead with her"

"SORRY"

"But since she passed away, I realized the one I loved was Armand, sorry for the waste of time but I don't love you, hope you will take it as simple as it is" She expressed with this expressionless countenance she showed when I first met her.

I couldn't help but laugh, I blurted a laugh, the one melted with pain and rage.

They were all looking at me.

"What have you done to her?" I turned to my dad.

"He made noth.."

"You shut up," I yelled at Whitney.

"What have you done to her?" I repeated inching slowly toward my dad.

At my first step, I saw the member of the pack Immediately react.

They were there to stop me, they knew what I was able to do.

I stopped at their movement and looked at this fucking asshole who served me as a dad.

"I am innocent in this affair, I love her and she loves me back nothing more" he responded with a sneer.

"Maybe he hadn't understood please repeat it to him, dear," He said, his hand on her waist to push Whitney to confront me.

"Be a man and accept the reality as it is I don't love you" she blurted, taking her time to pronounce every syllable.

I could no more retain my rage, my wolf was insane.
