The Alpha's Love

My Parents Thoughts

Hunter

I walk to my fathers office knowing that is where he would be. I am slightly nervous but I know that I need to do this. I take a deep breath and walk into his office. His door was open, so I know he’s not busy. If he was, the door would be shut. As I walk in I take a seat across from him. He looked up from the papers he was looking at and asked, “Hey son is everything ok?”

“Hey, do you and mom have a moment to chat? I have something to tell you both and need your advice.” I ask as I hope he does have a minute now. He nods yes and then his eyes glaze over to ask my mom to come to his office. “Your mother will be here in just a few minutes. We will try to be open minded and listen to you. We will try to help you in any way we can.” Just as he said this my mother walks in, shuts the door and then walks over and gives me a kiss on the cheek. “Okay son you got us both here, what is it that you need to tell us?”

“So mom, dad, I wanted to let you know I found my mate.” I say it as fast as it will fall from my lips. My mother sucks in her breath and covers her mouth with happy tears streaming down her face. My father is also shocked but can see there is worry on my face.

“What is it son? Why do you seem worried?”

“Well dad you see there are a couple reasons why I am worried. Firstly, I don’t know how you two will react.” I say with sadness in me.

My mom is the one who speaks this time. “Well honey you know what we have always said. So why don’t we get this worry out of the way and just tell us who it is.”

“Mom, I know what you have always said but I will fear that you will make me reject her after you find out.” They look at each other then at me.

They say at the same time, “That will never happen. There is a reason why the goddess has chosen her for you and that is all that matters.”

This is why I have so much love and respect for my parents. So I decided to take a breath and tell them. “It is Keri Summers.” I say with a shaky breath and now scared to even look up.

“Son Look at me please.” My father asked me. I sighed and looked up. “She is a very well behaved young lady. I know we don’t know her that well but she is also very brave. Why would you be so worried? I think the goddess did a great job in choosing your mate.” He said, looking at me.

I sigh with so much relief. I was freaking out for nothing when it came to my parents. “Thank you for that, it made me feel so much better.”

“So what are your other worries? You said there were a couple.” Dad said to me.

“Well the second is that she has been bullied and from the knowledge I got today she also has been physically abused. I want to know what your thoughts are. She doesn’t turn 18 for another 13 days. I need her to be safe. I feel like I need to protect her. But my third problem is that the Gammas and the future Gamma are the ones who are physically abusing her. I do not want them to know she is my mate. I have a feeling that if they know I won't ever see her again.” I say with so much worry in my voice.

My mother speaks up at this point. “I think you are right, you should wait till her birthday. Go to her on that day and talk with her. Let her know that she will be safe with you and us. That she has nothing to worry about. After that happens and you two have accepted each other then we will let everyone know including her family. She will be our future Luna, she will be respected and safe. Any who fight against it can be punished or can go rogue.”

“I think for now that is enough talk, I have a meeting to get to. We will not say anything Son but try to protect her without letting on who she is to you. It could be a disaster. We will talk about this again in 13 days.” My father said. I walked out of his office feeling a little better than I did when I walked in.

I decided after I left my parents that I was going to go for a run to help clear my head. I walked to the edge of the woods, looked around and then shifted and took off. I let Axel take over for a couple hours. We finally made it to my favorite spot. We are right next to the beautiful waterfall. Bright clear water and it's so soothing here. We make our way over to the edge of the water to take a drink. When we were done we decided to lay down and just enjoy the sounds. We ended up falling asleep for a little while. When we woke we heard a voice. We kept our eyes closed for a bit longer but kept listening. We heard a voice again as Axel howled and said MATE. We stood up real quick to look around. There she is about 20 feet away from us. She hasn’t seen us yet. I didn’t realize that she was singing to herself while she sat by the water. She put her feet in while she looked out at the scene. I ran behind a tree to change so maybe I could talk with her.

I came out from behind the tree, looking at her from behind. She is so beautiful, I really want to touch her but I keep my hands to home. As I approached her, she turned around. She must have heard me coming up behind her. Her eyes land on me and they go big.

“Uh hi, Alpha Hunter.” She says as she bows her head to me.

“Hello Keri, how are you doing?” I ask her nicely.

“Well, ummm I am ok. How are you?” She asked me.

“I am ok. I was just out for a run. This is one of my favorite places on our land. It is so peaceful.” I told her. She looks shocked a little.

“I didn’t know that you liked this spot. I come here all the time. I never see you here. It’s a place I can get away to just think and sometimes let my feelings out.” She explained it to me. I am now wondering if she comes to cry here or something else. So I decided to ask.

“What do you mean by get your feelings out. Is there something wrong?” I wonder at her. She looks at me as if she is deciding whether to tell me the truth or not. “Well, sometimes I wish my life was different. That my parents were still here. That…. Umm never mind.”

“No, what were you going to say? Please tell me.” I pleaded with her.

“Well umm, I wish I didn’t live with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousin. I don’t enjoy being there. Oh my, I should not have said that out loud. Please, I know that he’s our Gamma and my cousin is our future Gamma but please please don’t tell them I said that! I should not have said that. I’m so disrespectful,” she lowers her head with tears and shakes it.

I step closer to her and lift her chin. As I look at her I say, “Keri Look at me please.” I say softly. “You don’t have to worry about me telling anyone about what we talk about. That is between you and me. I like talking with you. You're always honest with me. You never seem to lie to me and are always truthful, unlike a lot of people in our pack.” I told her truthfully.

She started to tear up even more. “Please don’t cry Keri, I just thought you should know what I thought.” I try to comfort her with my words. I so desperately want to hold her but I hold back, knowing I will probably freak her out if I do.

“Thank you for talking with me, Alpha Hunter. I know you have enough to do without talking to me. Umm if you don’t mind, could you leave me alone. I just need a little time by myself, before I go back and do things for my family. I just need a little alone time. Please.” She pleaded with me with a look of sadness in her eyes.

“You're welcome. I will leave you to your thoughts. I hope to talk to you again soon. Goodbye Keri, see you later.” I said to her. I walked away wishing I could stay but respecting her wishes to leave her alone. I just hope she will be alright for 13 more days. I take off for home in wolf form.
