The Unwanted Bond

Moon Goddess.... Please...

Parker's POV:

I watched Ryan freeze after I blurted out my love confession. I could hear my family behind me in the doorway of the kitchen freeze as well.

"Uhh... I'm gonna go back to my room."

I whipped my head around and noticed the heart broken look on Lyla's face. I swallowed hard.

"Lyla..." I said.

"I'll see you later." She said, before turning with a hand covering her mouth.

Guilt flooded my senses as I broke away from Ryan who still sat frozen and rushed after her.

"Lyla, wait!" I called.

I caught up to her as she started up the stairs and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to a stop. She whipped around and slapped my face. I closed my eyes and clenched my jaw.

"Don't touch me." She said with a hard shaky voice.

I held my hands up and turned my face back to her. "You can hit me all you want. I didn't know you were coming into the room."

She gave a loud, wet, hysterical laugh. "Oh, that makes it all better. I loved you. I fucking love you and you NEVER told me you loved me back. You've been with him, what three months? And 6 weeks of that you were in a coma? You didn't say goodbye to me or Maddi. You didn't even tell me you had found your mate."

I glanced at everyone gathering as she screamed at me. "Lyla... Please."

"No. At the end of the day... I wasn't someone you wanted to spend your life with. I was just someone you used for release. My daughter... She called you Daddy and you left without even telling her why. She asked for you... Every day. I couldn't even tell her if you were happy or okay."

I could feel my anger rising. "You know what... I don't have to explain anything to you, but I will. Not for you... But for Maddi. I found my mate and he had to mark me and when I was out because of that he took me to his pack. I didn't pack anything, I didn't consent. Derek did. You knew... You knew I had brain damage and I didn't receive one fucking text or phone call from you."

"Brain damage? I get that... I remember that for the first year of her life, I had to keep reminding you of her name because of that... But for you to forget 5 Fucking years. Is unforgivable. It's also unforgivable that you used me."

"USED YOU? I FUCKING USED YOU?" I screamed.

"Yes, you did. As a sexual release when you needed it. You didn't care that 2 years into our deal, my daughter loved you and claimed you as her father and you didn't care that I had fallen in love with you. I wouldn't have ever asked you to give up your mate but the least you could have done was find me or call me and tell me personally."

I growled and got in her face, ignoring Ryan gently calling my name. "I told you when we started it that I would never be able to love you. I explicitly told you that. You were the one who pushed and pushed and EVERY SINGLE TIME we had sex, YOU, intiated it. I NEVER wanted it. I used working out as my release. You told me you were in love with me and I told you that I was sorry but I couldn't love you that way, and you told me it was okay and wouldn't let me end things. You knew that me having an Alpha's mark meant that I was gay.... You knew that. I loved Maddilyn and I took her calling me, Daddy, very seriously. Don't you dare stand here and tell me that I didn't care."

"You didn't. You have never actually cared about anyone. That's why you had no friends."

"Fuck you." I snapped.

I shoved by her and started up the stairs.

"Run away... Like you always do." She growled.

I froze. "You know what.... Our entire relationship was a fucking mistake. I told you... I would never choose you over my mate. You told me I didn't have to. Now-"
