An Alpha's Love

16.

Linden.

"So how are you feeling about our birthday, I know you're not in the least okay." Train was right, I wasn't and it was becoming prominent, what would I do if Em wasn't my mate.

Obviously drown myself in ice cream then cry my eyes out, after that drown in chips, spaghetti, and wine. I think after that, I would finally go through those bloody stages of grief.

I'm sure they would know me by my name if ever I would have a break down again because of heartbreak, I'm not looking forward to that.

"Honestly, and I say this in an honest way, I can't even think straight or sleep or try be my jovial self because I'm worried, it's weird I don't see a future without Em and if he's not my mate, it's going to hurt." I knew Train understood me because he had just experienced that heartbreak.

"Youll survive, I know I did, thanks to you." I smile toward him as we head out of the main school building. Emric was by the car alone, I could see from where I was how nervous he was and the pout on his face.

"I wanna come too." Train laughed at him and I hug my boyfriend. "I love you, but you can't come, you have a pack meeting to attend. Train told me, your mom is planning the party she will need help, and there is the issue about my mom's boyfriend, so no can do." The pout stayed on and I kissed him.

"Don't be a baby, I will see you tomorrow at the packhouse, Train is picking me up, that's the only way the surprise will work." He whines but obliged. "You're the boss." I kiss him again and reluctant as he was, he took time to pull out the car keys from his pocket.

"I love you so much." We hug and I climb into the car. "Take care of him." He instructs his brother who replied with a smile and a nod.

"Your mom has a boyfriend?" I remembered that I hadn't told Train about this morning and my mother who was dating a rogue wolf. "I found out my mom has a boyfriend, it's been going on for a while and he's a wolf, I don't know if my mom knows or how long have I been assuming my mom was at work when she was with him." I sighed feeling a slight pang of hurt.

Could my mom have lied all this time, leading me to believe something else, when in fact she had been hiding this from me, I felt betrayed and hurt.

"I'm sure she had reason for not telling you, I would vouch for her if she argued that she didn't want you to think the guy was replacing your dad, if not I don't think I can support any reason for not telling you, don't get yourself stressed, one problem at a time and right now it's your outfit." He was right, I had to focus on one thing.

"Thanks Train I appreciate it and I'm going to try not stress that much because of this whole mess, I just want to be happy for you and Em, then deal with mom, after would be school." He kept driving with a smile gracing his lips.

"I have options to go to North City University by the way, or Algiers and I don't know what to do." He gave me a questioning look and motioned to continue.

"I want to be a vet, and to do that I need to find a proper institute for it, my options are either the one here, Algiers or North City, with graduation in like a few months, I don't know what to do." He mouths an oh. "Before you ask, you're the only one who knows." I don't know how I could confide in Train, he was that person you would honestly just open up to.

He didn't need to coerce you into talking and letting it out, you just did and you always know you could trust him, he was never judgemental, always had something positive to say and at times the positive seemed negative but that's how shitty life was.
