The Pain Of Something Painless

Chapter 26

Andrew's POV

The next day, when I park the car in front of the pack house, I can see that my parents are talking with someone.

I guess that it's River's boyfriend, because neither of them looks very happy about their conversation.

I look around to see if my mate's here, but I can't see him anywhere, so I decide of wait on him here, but a few minutes later, I can see that River comes out of the pack house, which makes me go towards him.

That's because if I'm right in assuming that this boy is River's boyfriend, then I know that he won't be very happy that our parents are talking to him.

But I have to pass a lot of people on my way towards him, and it slows me down enough to let River see what's going on.

He glares at our parents, who still don't realise that he's here, and then he goes towards them with an angry expression.

I walk towards them too, but I stop when I feel that someone puts their hand on my shoulder.

"Maybe you should just let them talk this out." Spencer says, and I look at my parents again.

They're arguing with my brother now, while his boyfriends leans against the side of the pack house.

"If I won't go there, then River will get a worse punishment, because I know that he can't control what he's saying when he's angry, so I should try to calm him down a bit." I say, and Spencer decides to let me go.

I walk the rest of the way towards them, and Spencer follows me.

"What's going on?" I ask when I reach them.

"Nothing." River says, and he glares at me, which assures me that he knows that I told our parents about his boyfriend.

I look at the boy who's quietly standing a few feet away from us, and I'm glad that I decided to tell my parents about him.

He doesn't look very arrogant, and it seems that he cares for River, because he looks at him with a bit of pity.

But he's very muscular, and I'm sure that I already saw him use his strong hands on one of my friends.

I don't know his name, but now I know who he is, and he's definitely not someone that River should be with.

River, papa and dad argue for a while, and the rest of us stay quiet, at least before papa looks at the boy, who's already looking at him.

"Are you River's mate?" Papa asks him, and he shakes his head.

"I don't think so, but that doesn't mean that we can't be together." The boy argues.

"That's exactly the reason that you and River can't be together. Do you even know how old he is?" Papa asks him, and before the boy can say anything, Denver interrupts him.

"Is everything alright here?" Denver asks, and he frowns at us when no one answers him.

"I hope that you didn't make any trouble Jules." Denver says, and Jules shakes his head, although I can see that his eyes are a bit wide.
