It's Always Going To Be You (book 3)

Angel's p.o.v

Ugghhh they are doing it again. Lately, all I hear is my parents fighting. My older brother Finny has his own business. He fixes and sells motorcycles. He has his own room in the castle. I guess being best friends with the prince had it's perks. He is also a part of a motorcycle club and he is a warrior here in the castle. He used to always make time for me, but lately he is always busy. He is always hooking up with different girls and is always out. My sister Eli also found her mate. Sebas. He's super cool. We have known him our whole lives. Ever since I can remember Sebas and his siblings along with the prince, Victor, Hope and Grace and our next door neighbor's Rudy and Jason have always been around. Everyone has someone to hang out with. My best friend is Rudy. He is gay, but is afraid to come out because he thinks the guys will make fun of him. With my siblings being older than I am, means that they aren't here anymore so it's just me that hears and knows about mom and dad fighting so much. It has gotten so much worse lately.

I hear a loud noise so I run to my parents room. It sounded like something might have fallen, but I am not sure. "How could you do this to me Henry?" Mom cries. "Look Angela, I am sorry okay. What can I do? I fell in love with someone else. You let yourself go and I am not attracted to you anymore." He tells her. My mouth drops. My parents are mates. How could dad just say he fell out of love with his mate. I thought mates were forever. "You can't leave us for her Henry. What will everyone say? Your kids will get made fun of because of this. They will walk around here watching you be with someone else." She tells him. "People split up all the time Angela, who cares. Look this is the way this is going to go. Your kids are grown, they can take care of themselves and don't need me or us to be together. Everyone will get through this. Plus I'm not even sure if the kids are mine. I have always had my doubts." He tells her. "That's a lie Henry, your Lycan would have told you if they weren't yours." Mom spits back. "Well he has always had his doubts" he replies. "I have been in this relationship for years. Raising these kids too, I think it's about time I relax and just worry about myself. You don't even like having sëx with me anymore. You don't do your wife duties. You stopped not only taking care of me but of yourself too. Who will want you Angie? You are old and fat and have 3 kids. You are used." He tells her. I watch my mother break down. "Please don't look for me or bother me. Keep your kids away from me too. I don't want them approaching me and possibly ruining what I have with my new and future mate." He tells her. I stand here listening in shock. How could my father do this to my mother. "I Henry Luck reject you Angela Joy Luck as my mate" he says and they both drop to their knees in pain. "I Angela Joy Luck accept your rejection", Mom whispers. I can tell she is in pain, but she gets it all out. My mother is the strongest woman I know. To have to hear your mate say these cruel things and accept a rejection is pretty fùckèd up. I don't even know what to think right now. I feel like my whole world is about to come crashing down on me. Dad starts packing his things to leave us. I decide I need fresh air. I hop out of my window and go down to a small lake with a tree house that the king built for all of the kids years ago. I sit on a big rock near the lake and just cry. I let it all out. The pain of knowing that my own dad wants nothing to do with me because I will basically be in the way of his new life sucks.

I sit there for a little while and allow my heart to cry out to the moon. The moon sees and hears it all. I hear heavy footsteps behind me and I turn around to see the prince walk close to the lake. He looks at me and smiles. "Hello prince" I say and bow my head. "Really Angel? It's like that now. You know you can call me Hunter" he tells me and walks over to sit with me. My heart flutters. I have been in love with him since I knew what love is. He is so handsome. Even with the scar on his eyebrow that he got when they decided to play a stùpid rock game years ago. They tied a big rock to a string and held it secure with tape. They then tied it to his fan. Then everyone put a blindfold on and they turned the fan on. The rock went around and around in circles while they all stood there waiting to get hit. I do not know what the point of that game was. I think to see who the rock hit first, or to see who got injured the worst. I told them it was a dumb idea, but they didn't listen to me. Hunter got hit the hardest and his eyebrow got split open. My brother got hit on the cheek and had a bruise for a week. Noone had their wolf then, that's why they took longer to heal and Hunter was left with a huge scar. I love the scar though. It makes him look bad aśś. Especially when he is riding his motorcycle. I swear he is the whole package. Too bad he would never see me as more than a little sister and he is already going out with Marissa and I heard that she is 18 and told him they are mates. Of course he would get mated to someone so perfect like her, with her blonde hair and blue eyes and skinny figure. Not to someone like me with black dull wavy hair and brown eyes. I'm not even skinny either and I am younger than him. I just give off ugly little sister vibes. Oh well, eventually in a couple of years I will find my mate and hopefully he won't be a jackaśś like my father and I can forget all about Hunter. "Why are you crying Angel?" He asks me and wipes the tears from my face. I shake my head not wanting to burden him with my problems. "Please tell me what is making you so sad. Maybe I can fix it for you" he says. I shake my head again. "You can't fix this Hunter, no-one can." I tell him and he frowns. I sigh "I heard my father telling my mother a bunch of messed up things" I whisper, but of course his perfect hearing caught it. He scoots closer to me. "Like what?" He asks me. "He left the house Hunter. He said he doesn't want to be with mom anymore because he fell in love with another woman. He also said he wants nothing to do with Finny, Eli or me." I tell him. His eyes widen. "He said that?" He asks and I nod. "Yes, I heard everything. He rejected mom and he said he thinks we will get in the way of his happiness" I say. "I'm so sorry Angel, that's fùcked up" He says and I shrug. "Yeah, he's an aśśhole, I just hope mom is okay after this. I know some people die from rejections" I tell him. "You are too young to carry your parents problems like this." He says. I shrug again, not knowing what to say. "I have to go, thanks for listening to me vent, please don't tell anyone. This is already embarrassing enough" I tell him. "Hey, if anyone should be embarrassed it should be him. Not your mom or you or your siblings. It's his loss" he tells me and my heart just goes crazy beating quickly. My heart knows it's owner is here and talking to it. I give him a weak smile. I get the courage to hug him and I run home.
