My Hot Alpha

It wasn't my fault it took this long. I didn't ask to be kept from them. My mom died and my dad couldn't look after me. What did he expect? And I wasn't afraid of them I was curious and sceptical. I wanted to know why it had taken so long for this to happen.

"I'm not afraid".

"Why would you be afraid?". My dad placed my drink down next to me. "You don't have to be afraid. Dad what did you say?". He asked.

"I told her that we were family and that she doesn't have to be afraid of us. I didn't mean anything by it".

I think this was too much too soon. I had geared myself up to meet and talk with my dad and only my dad. Once I got to meet him on more than a few occasions I would maybe be ready to meet the rest of my family. I think.

"I think I should go".

"Please don't". My dad begged. "I have waited so long for this. Please don't leave".

"I don't know what to say to you. I had all these questions that I wanted answers too and now". I paused. "I think I'm a little overwhelmed". There was no point in trying to hide it and I'm sure he would be able to feel that I was a little on edge. "And that's understandable but please stay".

I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth and nodded. This is what I wanted. I had to remind myself of that.

"I'm going to head home and leave you to it. I didn't mean to overwhelm you sweetheart. I will see you again when you are ready". Arthur spoke.

I gave him a small smile. It's not that I didn't want to meet with them I did but I had never met or seen them before. We were strangers. It was sad to say but it was true.

I wasn't sure if I should start the conversation or leave it to him. I felt weird. This whole thing felt strange.

"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable. I didn't plan to bring your grandpa, but he insisted".

"I feel bad that he left. I want to meet my family but-...".

"In good time". He cut me off. "I'm not going to rush you. This is a massive thing, meeting with me is a massive thing but it's a first step and it's a step in the right direction. I'm not going to push you or make you do anything you're not comfortable with". "What was she like?". I asked.

"A breath of fresh air". He smiled. "She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and from the moment I lay eyes on her I knew I loved her".

I felt the lump appear in the back of my throat and yet I couldn't hide my smile. I loved hearing about my mom. I knew she was special.

"How did you meet? Were you friends beforehand? Did you go to the same school?".

"Hey". He whispered placing his hand over mine.

Instantly I pulled it back.

"Sorry". I made a face.

"We met at a party". He grinned.

"Did you know instantly that she was your mate?".

He nodded. "But your mom was dating someone else". "She was?".

Wow. My gran never shared that part with me.
