My Father's Secret

"Sure"

"Why are you not part of a pack?"

Alice and I stared at each other trying to ignore the intense conversation. 

"Oh Syd didn't tell you."

A low growl that only I heard came from Wesley. 

"No she did not tell me."

"It's your basic story….boy finds mate….mate rejects boy for another.  Boy leaves to die alone."

"Except you didn't. "

"I ran into Syd and Alice and they were looking for a third roommate.  Before i knew it these girls became my sisters and friends to protect.   I could never see myself going back."

"Well if you ever change your mind.  My pack is open to you.  Even if you just want to test it out, that's fine. "

"Thank you for the offer."

"Well I say we should go bowling now!"

We walked over to the lane he reserved and we all changed into the rental shoes.  Then we went and picked out our balls. 

"I'm so excited.   I haven't played since….."

I stopped thinking when I remembered when I played last.   My eyes looked down then I sat down. 

"When did you last play, Syd?'

I looked up and stared at his eyes then looked back down. 

He raises my chin up to his.

"When?  What happened, love?'

I took a deep breath as Wesley sat next to me. 

"Before my mother died.  That was our game.  Our bonding time  together.   Just the two of us.  After…….I just could never bring myself to go.  Until Alice and Rich came along but it still was never the same."

"What happened to your mother, love?"

I took a deep breath.  I was so drawn to tell him everything.  I wanted him to know it all even when it wasn't the greatest thing to relive.  I thought about her always but it was different saying it out loud.

"My mother died when I was 18 years old in a car accident.   The roads were icy.   And the other driver hit some black ice and spun.  He hit my moms car….pinned her to the tree.  Before the ambulance got there her car caught fire and she died…..alone. "

I took a couple deep breaths.  I couldn't believe I told him that.  The next part is going to get worse.

"The reason my father is so angry at werewolves is because my mother was killed by one!........accident or not that's how he sees it!"

"Wait …...he's been resenting us all this time over an accident?"

I could see the anger rising in Wesley and him doing his best to keep calm.

"Yes plus the guy shifted and ran so we never found him.  Every wolf we see he assumes is him.  That's why my dad has never met my roommate's. "

I wanted to stop having this conversation.   I didn't like making Wesley upset over this. 

Wesley took a couple breaths before he calmed down. 

"Okay, let's get bowling.   Today is about you and not your dad."  

He kissed my forehead and guided me to the lane. 

I was super excited about bowling especially after being stuck in a room for so long.

I started getting competitive and playing to win!

We spent a good 2 hours playing, eating, and drinking a few.  The best time I've had in a long time.  No care in the world.

Seemed like Wesley could drink without it affecting him at all.  I however felt tipsy.  I knew I had enough but was comfortable. 

"I am going to go use the ladies room!"  Announcing to everyone. 

"Want me to guide you?"  He looked so sincere. 

"Thank you but i'll be fine."

He knodded his head and I walked towards the bathroom.   

I went in but when I came out it felt like I was being watched.   Not by Wesley but like someone was ready to strike. 

I started walking quickly back to my group as this feeling was crawling up my body.   Just then I was thrown into the wall.  My mouth was covered and this guy tried pushing his hand up my body.

I was freaking out, trying to move and scream.

Then there was a BANG against the wall next to me and the guy was now on the ground.  I looked up and Wesley was growling with tight fits trying to stop the urge to shift.

I reached over and touched his arm.  Electricity ran through my body the minute we touched.  The look in his eye made me melt into his arms.

"I'm okay Wesley. "

"But you almost weren't.   I can't lose you, I just found MY MATE."

His eyes were black with rage and I knew I had to stop him before he killed a human even a disgusting one.

I reached up to his face and calmly spoke.

"I'm ready for us to go home.  I want to go to sleep in our bed."

As I told him to take me home my body was racing.  Wanting him to rip everything off to be his for the taking.  But I couldn't not like this.

We said our goodbyes and got in his car.  He drove us back to the pack house.  My heart racing with desire and my head trying to not let myself give in to the lust.

We arrived at what I call home but for how long.  I'm going to have to go back and deal with all my father's drama.

We got out of the car and Wesley came over to my side of the car.  I already got out and he put his hands on my shoulders.

"Love?"

I looked at him with desire and confusion.  He called me mate but that can't be right.  I'm human after all.

"I meant what I said you are my mate!"

"I know you care for me but…."

"Syd, did you ever think how I found you that day…..you were hurt."

"Well yeah I wondered but I thought it was just good luck."

He took a deep breath before he spoke.

"When you have a mate.  The bond is strong.  Even if you try to ignore it.   When I found you, I tried to not be near you but I ached for you.  When you told me to stay away while you dealt with your father.  It hurt but I tried not to think of you……"

He inhaled while sorrow forms as he speaks.

"When you were scared I felt it…..when he laid hands on you."

Anger now rising in his voice.  Then he spoke again..

"I felt every kick, every smack, every single thing he did to you.  I didn't know where you were but I knew it was close to your apartment and from there I smelled for you."

His palms were clinched into fists.

"I almost didn't get to you in time.  I will never disappear again. I almost killed the guy if it wasn't for you."

He reached his hands up and cupped my face.  Tears ran down my face and he spoke about everything that happened. 

He kissed my tears.  So gently it made me feel so safe.

I looked up at him and I knew what he said was the truth.

"So...how does this work if I'm human and you're an Alpha!  You have responsibilities and this won't work."

I felt his arms pull me closer into him.

"It will work out or we will find a new place to call home."

He leaned in and kissed me.  I tugged his shirt closer and we leaned back against his car.  He bit my bottom lip as we dove in for passionate kisses.  Kissing until we had to come up for air.

I took a couple deep breaths and then spoke.

"I've never really dated anyone but even then never kissed someone that made me feel what you do."

I blushed and looked down.  Surprised I even said that out loud.

He lifted my chin to face him.

"Don't be embarrassed, love.  You don't  need to hide anything from me.  You and I belong together and the sooner you release it the better off we will be."

He kissed my forehead and it sent shivers down my spine.

"Let's go to bed now."

He guided me inside to our bed.

He grabbed a t-shirt and handed it to me.  I went in the bathroom and changed.  

When I came out of the bathroom he was already on his side of the bed.  With pillows to separate us still.

I laid down feeling like my heart was going to beat out of my chest.  Wesley reached over and touched my arm.  You need to relax, your heart is beating too fast,love.

Just by his touch my heart rate calmed down.  Then I started relaxing and went to sleep.
