Alpha Daddy novel Chapter 59

'You forget we are the same person, the same wolf, and I can see how much you are thinking of him Ariana!'

Shaking my head I burst into a sprint, not caring if branches cut into my legs or tore at my dress.

All I wanted was to clear my mind. To ignore everything other than nature.

But I couldn't, not for long.

Breaking into the clearing I stood in front of our massive pack house.

Where my mate and my pups were. Waiting for me to come home.

And a couple miles away was my best friend my everything waiting for me at the river.

How could I chose between my love, my family, and someone who I loved and who was there for me throughout most of my life.

'You know who you'll chose every time Ariana.'

Rose muttered quietly. Her anger melting off as my heart began to race.

I knew as well. But walking into that house, I knew everything would change.

The pack would be able to smell Jake off me. They must've heard him already and to know that he had been so close to their Luna.

It would cause a rampage.

They didn't trust him anymore. He abandoned us when we needed him the most.

And then Caleb.

He would burst with anger.

And now I wasn't sure I could assure him that my feelings, my heart, belonged to him only.

"Hey darling."

Turning back I smiled at my dad, Gerardo. "Hey dad." I sighed as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"What's on your mind?" He asked pulling me along with him.

"Nothing dad." I smiled.

"Don't lie to me. You know I could always tell when you lie sweetheart."

Breathing in I stopped walking and stepped away from his hold.

"How are you and mom?"

Frowning he crossed his arms, "It's tough but we love each other. So we're working on it.."

"And if .... If you were to find someone else. Would you ever doubt your mate bond with mom."

"He has screwed up royally plenty of times. But the moon goddess knows why she put you both together."

"So you don't like him?" I asked biting down on my lip.

"Well he isn't my favorite person but I see how much he's trying and I've got to give it to him. He's turned out to be a great dad and well he's working on the mate part." He chuckled.

"But if your heart wants someone else baby girl. Don't let me be the reason to hold you back." Kissing my forehead he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me until I decided it was time to head in.

I had to face them all sooner or later.

"Ariana where have you been!" Groaning I turned around and grimaced as Quinn stood there in her grey maxi skirt, tribal print crop top, and her tapping bare feet.

A sign that she was pissed.

"I went out for a run, mom." I joked trying to make her laugh.

"It isn't funny Ari! I was worried sick I went out to go look for you. But then your stupid idiotic annoying cousin went after me!" She burst slamming her foot against the tiled floors.

"That hurt didn't it." I laughed noting her grimace.

"Screw you." She laughed.

"So how mad is Caleb? On a scale of one to ten." I asked as we interlocked our arms and made our way into the house.
