Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 66: Be Your Love

JACOB

The pain is insurmountable.

I came to Texas once again to explore my connection with Skylar since my mother had refused to approve of Jayden as my prospect - on the basis that I supposedly had feelings for the blonde Alpha, not on Jayden's merit as a partner for me.

He was suspended from Ravenwood for fighting with Skylar, I mean attacking him, and I am here trying to salvage our bond and possibly move towards healing and convincing my mother that she was wrong. I harbor no feelings for Skylar whatsoever.

Of course, once I arrived here and Skylar recited the poem he wrote for me, I was entrapped by his spell and couldn't help but kiss (him) the night away.

Now it's Saturday night, after a trip to the local mall, I met Mandy - Skylar's ex-girlfriend - only to discover that Shawn raised her as his child. She literally calls him 'dad'. Her real father was killed in a freak accident not much longer after she was born.

Yes, while I remained fatherless in Colorado, Shawn was busy here, raising another man's child as his own. As if he hadn't caused me enough pain already, now I find this out as well. Yet another trauma for my already traumatized childhood. Who needs a father anyway? *eye roll*

I cried so hard I vomited. It was not a pretty picture. First, I was rushed out of the mall where we were - Seth, Skylar, and I - and then Seth drove us back to the Stronghold manor.

Seth and Skylar cared for me while I cried nonstop for a long while. I couldn't stop even if my life depended on it. I was in so much pain that I couldn't hold myself together. It was a living nightmare that I could not wake up from, no matter how hard I tried.

Eventually, Seth left me to his brother's care, returning to his room, and Skylar stayed with me all through the night, comforting me. He tried to tell me that Shawn was the one who missed out on an incredible son, but I was in too much pain to pay attention to him.

I just cried until there were no more tears left, then I hiccuped, and threw up... Skylar wouldn't leave my side through it all, even when it got nasty. He held my head over the toilet and cleared my hair of any contamination.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth, but ate no dinner nor did I talk to the Alpha couple after I arrived from the mall. I just stayed in my guest room with Skylar until I drifted off to sleep sometime around 3 am.

'Why didn't he want me?'

'What have I done to deserve this?'

'Why couldn't he be my dad instead of Mandy's - or even at the same time, for that matter?'

There were no answers to these questions, though I still asked them all to Skylar, who was heartbroken for my sake. He did his best by my side, was there for me all night long, and refused to leave me when I was throwing up.

Ironically, the only thing that was actually comforting to me was his scent. Just to sleep next to Skylar is the best thing ever. I can't explain how much his scent comforts me. It's like magic.

On Sunday, we woke up late, as expected, after such a heavy night. By the time I showered and got dressed, it was already time for lunch, and I was starving.

Naturally, Skylar woke up by my side and then went to his room for a shower and a change of clothes. Later that day, the five of us were eating lunch in the dining room, and I had yet to explain myself to my hosts.

"I am sorry for not being a good guest, Luna. I didn't have it in me to talk to anybody last night. I apologize for that." I told her, sounding remorseful.
