PREAMBLE
Sunday evening. Whitney Anderson calls Shawn Broderick from her apartment in Boulder.
"Were you threatened or maybe even Alpha commanded into doing that?" She questioned him, irritated.
"This is not a man you deny favors to, okay?" Shawn responded, tentatively.
"That was not a favor! A favor is covering someone else's shift because they had an emergency. A favor is stopping by the coffee shop and picking up an extra order for your coworker or your boss. A favor is going to your best friend's wedding dressed in a hideous color because you love her and want to be there for her on this special day. Derailing your son's happiness is not a favor, it's a crime." She stated, pissed off.
"I am sorry for–"
"You are not sorry yet, but you will be if you don't send an email right now recanting that statement and leaving the decision to me, his mother." She cut him off, annoyed.
"I can't do that, Whit–"
"What? Yes, you can! Shawn, this is not a joke! Jake and Skylar are in love with each other! As far as I can tell, you have absolutely no reason to stop their union from happening. I can only assume this was some ploy by a power player, but that stops now. NO ONE will stand in the way of my son's happiness!" She interrupted him yet again, livid.
"They are in love?" He gasped in shock at this news.
"Yes, they are! So, when my son called me hours after he left our apartment, crying because his father blocked the love of his life from being with him, that is something that I will not allow. I am asking you nicely, Shawn. Send that email. You should have never sent any email to Ravenwood in the first place." She is trying to contain her rage, but it is pouring out of her every pore. Whitney is pissed off about this. The nerve of that guy to pull something like that...
"I am sorry, but I can't do that right now. I–"
"Are you fucking kidding me? You have spent the last 18 years ignoring the fact that you had a child, only to pull this shit now?! Because of some power play that has nothing to do with you? No, I don't accept that!" Now she is off the rails, ferociously mad and protective of her son.
"I have never asked you for anything! I have never told you how to live your life! I shouldn't even be on the phone with you ruining my Sunday night, but here we are. My son is crying because the man who was supposed to love him unconditionally chose to block him from being with the person he loves. And not because he does not approve Skylar for him, if only... not even because of that. It's because he is a spineless guy who can't even say no to his boss when it comes to his son! Your own flesh and blood!" Whitney was livid, her eyes glowed in rage.
"I understand that you're mad–"
"Oh, you haven't even seen me mad yet! If you do not recant your decision, I will fly out to Texas and I will throw the biggest scandal at your place of employment. They will need to call the Army to get me out of there! I am not playing, Shawn! This is not a joke to me! My son's happiness is on the line and that is not something I take lightly, no matter who stands in his way! So, if you don't want me to claw your eyes out when I see you, I'd suggest you do what I am telling you to do. Trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet! I am not mad, I am fucking livid! It's bad enough you spent the last 13 years raising another Omega as your child when you had a son waiting for you to show up, but now you messed with my baby! And no one messes with my baby! I will fucking kill you before you jeopardize my son's happiness!" Whitney was off the wall mad. This is the angriest she has ever felt towards Shawn - including the time when she was abandoned by him while still pregnant.
