Uniquely White.

CHAPTER 7

Alpha is looking at me as if he is trying to work something out.

"Carter, I owe you an apology for what went on before."

"No Apology needed Alpha, I would have done the same if it was my child to be honest."

he eyes me like he is trying to sus me out. "You amaze me Carter, however you also drive me insane." he says while rubbing his face.

"The way you can shut off your emotion like a switch triggers me, but also amazes me with how much control you still have after you have switched it off. Only a truly strong wolf can do that but it is not easy. How do you cope?" He asks curiously.

"Well when my mum died I lost a massive part of me as you know." I can't help but look down. "When dad and I become close with training he taught me to control my pain and to embrace it as a learning and becoming stronger. So I took that advice and manage it with my emotions with people, now it's just a regular thing that I have learned to do instantly."

"You really are a strong unique girl Carter. You know your mum was a really strong wolf too. As much as you annoy me at times with your attitude to people and that temper, I am glad that you are my God daughter. It's funny some of the things I get told you have done, sometimes makes me proud as if you we're my actual daughter." he seemed amused by his last sentence.

"Luna told me today about me being her God Daughter and how close she was with mum." I smile.

"Yes, she told me this morning about helping you with you first shift, also how she is going to be helping you get ready for the ceremony. I'm glad your letting her pick your dress and things I know how much she dreamed of doing all of this with her own if she had one. This means a lot to her and me, so thank you." I can see the sincerity in his eyes that he is truly thankful.

"I'd do anything for the Luna, apart from dad she was the only one that ever comforted me and made sure I was doing okay after mum, she's been the only one I have ever felt completely accepted by." I can feel my tears starting to come.

Alpha just smiles and comes and gives me a big bear hug and then walks me out the door, where turns out Luna and dad are standing there waiting.

Luna gives me a big hug and tells me she will see me at 4 on Friday to give me my dress and get me ready.

Dad and I walk side by side towards the car, he hasn't said a word to me. As we leave the pack house drive way he turns to me.

"I am so proud of you Carter! You are so strong! I'm sorry I wasn't there for you today for your first shift... Luna told me all about it, how she coached you through it, how strong you was being with the whole thing, also why you were shifting. I don't know what I would have done if he didn't believe Evan and Kevin's story, but I'm glad he did."

"I'm sorry dad, I really tired to control my anger but I wasn't quick enough at flicking my switch back on in time before I hit him. It also wasn't all a complete story, they do want me to train them Kevin especially was amaze with my strength in breaking Evans jaw in one hit." I try and lighten the mood with a big smile.

"I know I shouldn't be proud but how can I not! My Princess has a chance at taken my position now! I've trained you well and your are my biggest achievement out of my whole life." Utter proudness is all that is coming off dad right now. I haven't seen him this happy since mum was alive to be honest.

"All I ever want to do dad is make you proud, and see you happy!"

I say proudly.

"You make me happy seeing your face everyday princess, this is just a bonus."

We arrive at home and head in side, Dad says he is going to make me my favourite dinner tonight to celebrate so while he is cooking I run up stairs and grab a quick shower and get in my Pj's because I don't plan on going out after dinner, I was kind of hoping dad might want to watch a movie with me since he is going on a trip tomorrow for 2 days so he won't be back until after the ceremony.

"Hey dad, I was wondering if after dinner we could maybe watch a movie before you leave... As a birthday wish? Please?" I say with a devilish grin.

Dad just smiles at me widely like he was hoping I would say something like this. "Of cause princess I want to spend as much time as I can with you before I go."

With that we finish eating dinner and I go and pick a movie to watch, I've decided on a classic 'Greece' I know how much dad loves this movie and I quite enjoy the musical parts because dad often sings along with me.

Just as I'm about to play the movie dad stops me and says " Princess, before we watch this movie I just want to give you, your birthday present early. You mean the world to me and I would do any thing for you! I hope you like it." He hands me a beautifully rapped box.

I start opening it and when I do I am almost in tears he had mums wedding rings re molded into a beautiful bracelet for me. 3 beautiful Green Emeralds are placed nicely in a row and with the words 'I will always be with you' engraved on the back. I am speechless with tears running down my face.

"Luna told me about how you feel like your going to forget her and that you miss her so much. I knew then I had gotten you the best gift of all." he says while giving me a big hug.

"I love it dad, this is truly the best gift ever! I love you so much!" I'm crying but they are happy tears.

Once I had calmed down we started and finished watching Greece while re acting all the songs to each other, I could feel myself falling asleep so we called it a night and headed to bed.

I wished dad a good night and hoped he had a great trip away! I even told him that he might get lucky and find his second chance. He smiled but gave me the very doubtful look.

I know it could happen, I have read about it and I know no one will ever replace my mum but part of me hopes that if I ever find my mate that my dad will find or already someone special he can be happy with when I leave...
