Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 70: Happy

JACOB

I cannot stop smiling.

Despite the frosty reception I received when I arrived in Texas by Alpha Stronghold, which I responded in kind because if he expected a 'yes, man' then he messed with the wrong Omega, things quickly took a turn for the better.

Partly because his wife, Luna Dahlia, took charge of the situation and didn't allow him to tear me down for "rejecting" Skylar, and the twins have always been on my side. Seth and Skylar made me feel welcomed as part of the family, which is really what it's all about.

As expected, as soon as I set foot inside the manor, somehow my daddy issues started to flare up when I noticed how strongly Frederick actually loved his children in the sense of advocating for my acceptance to be Skylar's prospect candidate. It moved me to tears.

Then there was Mandy.

Yeah, I am not going to talk about her. This is my time and she is not part of the equation. She had her time with Skylar and I am sure it was great, but this is my time now. That's it.

Nevertheless, I cried a lot once I learned she was raised by Shawn. I cannot lie, that hurt like a motherfucker. It wasn't until Skylar comforted me with his wide chest and sweet scent that I began to feel better. Why does his scent always make me feel so good?

Skylar declared an impromptu speech about how he was always going to love me no matter what and that is all that it took for me to surrender completely into his arms and have the best sexual experience I have ever had in my entire life. Granted, it's not like I have his level of experience, but that was phenomenal.

I could not stop smiling all day. Sunday night we played games with Luna and had clean, family fun. It was fantastic to feel like part of their family. It's something so tender to belong. Especially for us queer people to have a family that accepts us, means the world, truly. I do love my family, that is not in question here, but to receive the support of the Strongholds as well is great. Though Dahlia is much more onboard than Frederick.

It's fine, as long as he is okay with me, I am okay with him. I bear no grudge against him.

I cannot fault a father for fighting for his sons. He might be shortsighted at times, but he is doing the best he can, in the way that he was taught by his father. I respect him.

Now I am back in Boulder, Colorado, after a long drive and a first-class flight - they booked it for me. I would have been fine flying coach.

My mother is giddy with excitement for me to tell her about my voyage to Texas and the recent developments.

Once I was comfortable and fed, we sat down on the sofa in our living room and I told her all about my trip, what I had discussed with Skylar, the video chat with Jayden, the poem that Skylar wrote for me, and unfortunately Mandy. It had to be said.

My mom was not happy about that piece of information. She tried to distance herself from my father and only talked to him the bare minimum for him to keep paying child support, but she was not pleased to know he raised another child but not his own.

What kind of logic is that?

Who raises another man's child and forgets his own?

It's not because he was in Texas and I was in Colorado. It's not that long of a flight. I could at least have spent Summers with him growing up. All it would take was some effort on his part, but why do that when you have a substitute Omega to raise? Jerk!

Anyway, I told her everything that happened except for the sex with Skylar - you know, boundaries - and she was elated to see me happy despite the turbulent time that I had. Honestly, this trip could have gone horribly for me at any time for so many reasons, but the main difference that kept things together and light was Skylar.
