-Forrest P.O.V.-
I watch as Axel’s mother turns to face me as she just kicked out my mate. I don’t know why I spoke up, but I just felt the need to. I just didn’t want him to reject anything that he was about to do. I may not like what his father is doing, but at least he has his. I am broken out of my thoughts when Axel’s mother speaks to me.
“I am sorry for how rude my husband is being.” I look at her and that is when I notice that it is just her and I in the room. I look back at her and go to sit down on the couch, that is in Axel’s office. She then motions for me to go and sit next to her.
I get up and walk over to her. I sit down next to her and start to fiddle with my fingers. I don’t really know how to respond.
“I know you probably feel like you should have spoken up or said something because you feel that Axel will do something he will regret…” She than sighs which causes me to look up at her. “but you shouldn’t worry. My husband has never really been a good father. He loves his daughter with everything in him, but it is something about Axel that causes him to turn mean. You see, Axel’s father has always been hard on him. He has pushed Axel by causing him to train since he was 5 and when he didn’t want to get up than my husband would beat him. Trust me, I tried to stop him or say something, but it fell on deaf ears. He treated Axel really poorly when Axel shifted on his 16th birthday. It was then revealed that he was a Demon Wolf which caused me husband to treat him even worse. My husband not only beat Axel worse, but he also punished him.” I gasped upon hearing this and she looked away in shame. I could tell that she felt guilty by this. “It didn’t stop until Axel forcefully took over from my husband. Axel went to the pack one day and asked them who would they want as their Alpha, to which they voted for Axel. My son then stripped my husband of his title and removed him from being the Alpha. I was so proud of him that day because now my son didn’t have deal with any more ab**e. But then, my husband started to pressure Axel into marrying someone. Little did he know that Axel didn’t want to marry a woman, but wanted to wait for his male mate, you. So, what you are seeing between them is how they are.” She said the last part while sighing.
I wiped my tears from my cheeks as I didn’t know that they had fallen, but I couldn’t help it. How could a father do that to his son? How could he be so mean to my mate? How could he treat him even worse when he found out that he was different? Then a more pressing question filled my mind.
“Why didn’t you try to help Axel?” She turned to face me, and I could see the tears in her eyes.
“I tried…but it never worked. Then Axel would just get it worse…. soon Axel came to me and told me to just stop. I swore to my son that day that when he found his mate then I would finally be the mother he deserved. That I would fight with my husband so he could be happy.” I could see the shame and guilt in her eyes, but I could see how much she meant her words.
She meant it when she said that she was going to fight for Axel. We spoke for a little bit more before she walked me back to the Alpha suite. I walked in only to see that my mate was nowhere to be found. I sighed as I headed into the bedroom, and I headed straight to the shower. I just stood underneath the water as it came down on my body and I felt a sadness come over me. I couldn’t believe that my mate had to go through all of that. Soon a whole bunch of emotions rushed through me and I fell to my knees as I let out a sob. I cried for how I lost my parents and then finding out my mates’ past. I sobbed as I let out all the pain, I was feeling…right now I just wanted my mate.

Bryant: You didn’t have to snap at our mate like that! Bryant scolds me.
Me: I didn’t mean to! My father had gotten me all worked up. You know how much he drives me crazy. I just wish that I could kill him!
Bryant: I know. Now head back, I can feel that our mate is sad.
With those words, I turn around and rush back to the packhouse. I didn’t want our mate to be sad and honestly, I have no idea at how long I have even been gone. I ran all the way to my room in my wolf form since I ripped my clothes earlier. I shifted back once I entered my suite. That is when I heard it.. I heard a sob from my mate. I ran into the bedroom only to see the bathroom door open, and I rushed in. I got into the shower and wrapped my arms around my mate as I kneeled next to him.
He turned in my embrace as he wrapped his arms around my neck and gripped onto me tightly. I rubbed his back as I kept telling him that it was okay while asking him to speak to me. He was sitting in my lap as I was sitting on the shower floor. I just let him embrace him as he let it out. He soon calmed down and he pulled back from my embrace. I pushed his wet hair out of his face as I cupped his cheeks.
“What is wrong?” I asked him softly.
“I am sorry about earlier.” Before he could continue, I cut him off.
“No. I am sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. I am sorry, and I also sorry for being gone for so long. Please forgive me mate.” I begged him.
He smiled brightly at me as he brought his hands to mine. “I am still going to tell you that I am sorry too.”
I chuckled while I shook my head. I used my grip on his cheeks to bring him to me and I placed my lips on his. He happily wrapped his hands around my neck as he leaned into the kiss. I smirked once I felt how his d**k started to get hard from me only kissing him. I pulled from the kiss and brought my hand down to his d**k and I gripped it in my hand. He threw his head back and moaned from the action.
“Is this all for me?” I ask him as I start to stroke him.
“Yes daddy.” I groaned from how he called me that for the second time.
I took my hand away from him which caused him to whimper. I chuckled before I stood up while bringing him with me. I turned off the shower and picked him up to where he wrapped his legs around my waist. I walked into the room and I threw him down on the bed, not caring that we were both wet. He laid on the bed as I looked over his body.
“I am going to make you regret calling me that.”
