“What happened?” I asked quietly.

My dad looked down at my mom. She smiled at him.

“Alpha Nathan tried to take your mom away from me,” my dad said, making my eyes widen.

Axel stirred and growled.

“What?” Fia mumbled quietly.

I took her hand in mine and squeezed it.

“Talk,” I said sternly.

CHAPTER TWO – Our Past (Part One)

Alexander’s POV

I watched my dad as he pulled up a chair and sat down next to my mom. She ran her fingers through his hair and he smiled at her.

“I love you, Emma,” my dad said quietly.

“I love you too,” my mom said, giving him a small smile.

My dad turned to Fia and me.

“I always told you that your fated mate would be the most important person in your life, right?” my dad asked.

I nodded. I was getting more confused by the second.

“I always told you that you have to cherish and respect your mate, right?” my dad asked, his voice raspy.

I nodded again.

I glanced at Fia. She was as confused as me.

“What I am about to tell you next will probably change the way you feel about me,” my dad said, his voice breaking. “I just hope that you will find a way to forgive me. I love you two and your mom with my entire heart and soul and I never want to lose you.”

My heart raced.

What the hell was he talking about? Why would I change the way I felt about my dad? I loved my dad.

He took a deep breath and pulled my mom closer to him. She caressed his cheek gently.

“When I first found out that your mom was my mate, I rejected her,” my dad said, making Fia gasp.

I was frozen.

What?

He rejected my mom? My wonderful mom? Why?!

I glanced at my uncle. Did he know about this? How could he let it happen? If Fia’s mate rejected her, I would rip his fucking heart out of his body.

“Why, dad?” Fia asked, her voice laced with sadness.

My dad closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“I was an idiot,” my dad said quietly as he opened his eyes and looked at my sister and me. “As you know, your grandfather was killed in a rogue attack and he left me in charge before I even started my Alpha training. I felt so responsible for my pack and I was focused on finding a strong mate.”
