Chapter Twenty-One

He had to be joking. This is just a cruel joke. "No, no. My dad isn't a Werewolf."

Even though I didn't know who my dad was, he couldn't be one of them. I never tracked him down, I didn't want to go against my mum's wishes but there was no way he is a Werewolf. He couldn't be.

"How can you be so sure? You don't even know who your father is." He scoffed, moving away from me and straightening up.

"How do you know that?" I asked him warily. I never mentioned my family to him at all and he never mentioned his to me either.

"I have my ways of finding things out."

I frowned and shook my head. "You're wrong. My dad can't be a Werewolf."

"Believe what you want."

I remained silent for a few seconds as my mind began to actually process what he said. I looked at Gabriel to see if there was any sign of him lying but sadly I couldn't find anything.

"That's not true." I whispered as tears suddenly began to build up in my eyes. "Please Gabriel, tell me that's not true."

"He was a Werewolf."

"Was?" I felt my heart clench as I realised what he meant. My dad, if Gabriel was telling the truth, is dead. Even though I didn't know him I couldn't help feel the pain of losing him. I never got the chance to meet him, I had so many questions.

"Nina." Gabriel hesitantly said making my eyes snap towards his. Through my blurry vision, I saw him look at me in concern.

"Why are you telling me this now?" I croaked out. "Why are you trying to hurt me?"

Gabriel held my gaze for a few seconds before he looked away, his jaws clenched. "I didn't mean for it to come out like this." He said through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry about everything okay?" I gasped as tears ran down my cheeks. "I'm sorry for tracking you down, I'm sorry for telling you I'm having your baby. I'm sorry for feeling terrified when I found out what you are. I'm sorry for even considering an abortion, I'm sorry I'm not what you want. I'm sorry."

"Nina." Gabriel muttered, looking horrified. "Shh, please don't cry."

As soon as he said those words my whole body began shaking as I sobbed loudly. I don't know if I'm crying because of what happened earlier, what Gabriel said or my current situation but all I knew was I wanted everything to stop. I just wanted everything to go back to the way it was when it was simple and my biggest worry was handing in my assignments on time. I don't want to know all this, I don't want to be involved in all this.

I felt Gabriel arms wrap around me and pull me into his chest. I didn't care that the person comforting me was the person who's behind my pain. I ignored Gabriel apologies and soothing words as I sobbed my heart out.

My heart tightened as I thought about what he had said about my dad. He was dead, the man who I shared half my DNA with, the man I used to dream and wish about when I was younger, is dead.

There are so many things I always I wanted to ask him, so many questions. Now I would never get the chance, I would never be able hug him, speak to him or even see him.

But that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that he didn't know about me. He didn't know he had a daughter, that I was his daughter.

And he never would.
