The Alpha gathering was a yearly event. Each year a different pack was hosting it. This year's Alpha gathering was at our pack. It was an opportunity for Alphas to talk and make new allies. It was an interesting event and I was excited for it to start.
“I would forbid his son from coming as well,” Lex mumbled.
“I know, bud,” dad said. “But we can’t punish him for his father’s mistakes.”
Lex sighed.
Dad looked at me and gulped.
“I am sorry,” dad said. “I should have told you the truth sooner, but I was scared.”
“Of what?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows.
“Of losing you two,” dad said. “I am scared that you will hate me for what I did.”
My heart broke.
“We could never hate you, dad,” Lex sighed. “I am pissed as fuck, but I could never hate you.”
“Me neither, dad,” I said. “You made a mistake, but I could never hate you. I love you.”
Dad stood up and approached us. He pulled both of us into a tight hug.
“Oh, thank Goddess,” he mumbled as he kissed my temple. “I love you both so much.”
I wrapped my free arm around my dad. I saw my mom and my uncle smiling at us.
I was angry at my dad, but I could never hate him. I loved him so much. He made a mistake, but it didn’t define him. He was still the best dad I could have asked for.
CHAPTER SIX – Getting Ready
Hunter’s POV
“Can I come in?” I heard my dad’s voice.
I looked up and nodded.
I already knew that he was coming. I heard him approaching my office.
“Are you getting ready?” dad asked.
“Yes,” I said as I put the pen down. “I’m almost packed. I will leave in the morning.”
Dad nodded and sat down in the armchair in front of my desk. He looked nervous and worried.
“Stop worrying, dad,” I sighed. “Everything is going to be okay.”
Dad took a deep breath and released it slowly.
“You can’t blame me for being nervous,” dad mumbled. “You are going to the pack of the people who hate my guts.”
I gritted my teeth. I knew what happened between my dad and Alpha Logan and Luna Emma. I wasn’t saying that they didn’t have a good reason not to like my dad, but he changed so much. I wished that they would give him a chance to show them that he wasn’t the same man anymore.
“Everything is going to be okay, dad,” I said. “They are not going to hurt me.”
I knew a lot about Alpha Logan and Luna Emma. They were good people. I was thankful to them for letting my dad go. I would be an orphan now. I would grow up without him if they didn’t show him mercy.
Dad ran his fingers through his hair.
