Bète Rick's POV.
Amber handled that interrogation like a pro and the way she did it was different than how we had originally planned to do it. She didn't hesitate to use her Luna voice on Conan.
I was not expecting her to use her Luna power the way she did. I was rather concerned when I saw Conan's reaction. I don't think I've ever seen anyone overpower him like that since his father did just a few days before our original pack was wiped out by rogues.
I knew I shouldn't have stepped up and tried to get in her way when she was talking to him but it was hard to see my friend like that. I also was expecting her to use her voice on me to make me be quiet but she did and she held a lot of power behind her words.
She makes me more and more proud every day. I was fully expecting the breakdown the second we got to a private area with how spaced out she was when we left the prison. The look she got on her face is the same one she's always had as a child when she got over emotional and was trying to hold back tears.
I managed to pull her to a more private room and mind link my mate to tell her where we were and what was happening and why so she could come and help me calm her down.
A father can only do so much but there's nothing that can top a mothers love for her child and the bond they share. She may be my daughter but she's always been closer to her mother. Amber was apologizing profusely about using her Luna voice with me.
I assured her there was no harm done and that there was nothing no to forgive because she didn't do anything wrong. She just cried. Now that she's calm and with Rebecca she seems to have calmed down a whole lot more.
I could tell Connor was very interested in what had happened and was probably wondering where his father was. Amber doesn't know how to mention it to him and she expressed her worry about it to us. Perhaps it's best I take Connor aside and talk to him, explain what happened.
I then sent a mind link to Amber asking if she wanted time to talk to him. Her head snapped over to me. Connor definitely noticed that. She smiled sweetly and nodded.
I looked at Connor. " Why don't we go take a walk. You and me. " I said to Connor.
He opened his mouth to protest but then saw the look Amber was giving him. He sighed and nodded. " I'll be back soon Rebecca. You enjoy decorating the cookies with Amber. " said Connor.
Her eyes glowed and he laughed. " I look forward to seeing what you make. " he said before he moved to follow me.
My mate squeezed my hand before I left the room with Connor following me. I led him downstairs to the second floor which had a big balcony that overlooks the backyard.
Once we're there he asks me a question. " My fathers not dead is he?" Asked Connor.
My eyes widen and I look at him in shock. " No. I assure you he's not dead."
" Then where is he? " asked Connor.
" That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Do you mind if I share some memories with you?" I ask.
He nods and I make a private mind link between the two of us. I then send over the memories of what just transpired in that interrogation room all the way to the point where we had to cuff him and out him in a cell. I then showed him Amber getting upset and her guilt over what she had to do.
When I opened my eyes Connor was understandably angry. His hands were balled up into fists and he had a look of anger of his face.
" The nerve of that human. How dare he force her hand like that. " snarled Connor.
Good , he wasn't angry at her. " I was just as appalled and angry as you are. Heck, I still am. Amber was so afraid you would be angry at her because of what she had to do to your father. She knows he's part of your healing process and she feels bad for not only doing that to him but for possibly stalking your healing. " I said.
" She put the well-being of the pack before herself and myself. I would never fault her for that or get angry at her for that. She did the right thing. " said Connor.
" I agree. You just have to assure her of that. She's going to doubt herself more times than you may think as she grows more into her leader roll as the packs Luna. She's going to need all the support she can get for her decisions no matter if they are the wrong ones or not. She needs you to back her up. Can you do that for me?" I ask.
Connor sighs. " I haven't been acting like a true mate to her, have I?" He asks instead.
" You were hurt Connor. That's not going to heal overnight. She's been pulling the weight of the entire pack by herself since you first went missing. She's got support but yes, she does need you more than anyone else. She loves you. I'm proud to call you my family Connor. " I said.
He looks out over the yard and sighs. " She's been working on not only the pack but our relationship together this whole time and I've done nothing but push her away. I even asked for us to sleep in separate rooms. We were preparing a cabin for me to stay in by myself. I thought some alone time would help me heal faster but all it's done is hurt her. " said Connor.
" So what are you going to do about it?" I ask.
" I'm going to start being the mate she needs. I need to support her the same amount she supports me. She stayed up all night the other night when I got a memory back just to help me and look out for me even though she didn't have to. She wanted to. I need to put forth that same effort to help her. " he said.
" So what do you plan on doing?" I ask.
" I believe it's time for me to take my role as Alpha and take some of the weight off her shoulders. " he said.
I grin at him. " Good man. She will be delighted to have you by her side more. " I tell him.
" Like you said, I'm not going to heal overnight and this pack and Amber are in desperate need of an Alpha. With my father in the prison, not able to provide any form of support from his position as the former Alpha, I'm going to step in and take my place. Just like what I was born to do. I'll do it for her. " he said.
" Very good. Now, what about Rebecca? Will you be the father she needs if she accepts your offer at being yours and Amber's child?" I ask.
" I'm already beginning to adore her. By this point there is nothing I wouldn't do to help her. I will be the father she needs as well. " said Connor determinedly.
" That's what I like to hear. Now, let's go settle Amber's nerves. I'm sure she dying to know what we just talked about. Just keep doing what your doing Connor. Your on your way to your old self again. Be sure if your choices and never forget that an Alpha is nothing without the love and support of his Luna. Cherish her. " I tell him.
" I will sir. " said Connor.
I nod at him and together we walk back to where the others are and walk in to the cutest scene. Somehow the girls have gotten themselves covered in icing and Amber is currently chasing a laughing and squealing set of little girls around the room with her hands covered in icing.
I smile warmly as I watch them. This is what my family is like now and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I love them all.
