Chapter 96
I couldn’t breathe. Tears formed in the corner of my eyes as I stared at the man in front of me. The man I’d been asking her about for the last 28 years was finally standing before me. All the thoughts I had about him. All the times I had wished I could meet him. 28 years….
“You’re Rosalie. You… you are my daughter?” He smiled at me and laughed a little. Tears form in his eyes too. He reached out to touch me but I took a step back. I felt my anxiety rising. He knew. He knew I existed. My heart skipped a beat and it hurt like hell.
“I…. you… how long have you known about me?” I asked him. Tears now flowing down
my
cheeks.
“Since the day you were born” his reply hit me straight in the heart.
28 years this man has known he has a daughter and not once has he made the effort to get in touch.
I took another step back. My legs were a little wobbly.
“Rosalie, you’re being rude again. At least say hi to him before you start interrogating him” mum said from the comfort of her bed. She was sipping on the hot liquid Richard had brought her.
“You lied to me! You fucking lied to me! How could you, ma?! Why not just tell me who he was?! I kept asking you, I kept wanting to know him and you kept saying you didn’t know! Why ma, why?!” I wasn’t holding back my tears. They were just free–flowing.
“Rosalie, listen to me. My life, it’s very complicated. I didn’t want you to get tangled up in it. There are rules I have to follow and even if I did tell you. you wouldn’t have believed me anyway.” Richard took a step forward and I took one back.
I wanted to stay away from him.
I felt two hands on my shoulders. Blake gently squeezed my shoulders and kissed my head.
“You both lied to me. You both betrayed me! I don’t want a justification from you now. 28 years! I’ve waited 28 years only to be told you’ve known about me all this time. You never made even the slightest effort to contact me. Where were you when I needed a father? Where were you when mums clients use to torture me? Where were you when I was getting abused? Where were you when I was struggling with life? Where the fuck were you??” I was crying hard and my voice was cracking.
“Rosalie, you don’t understand. It’s not that simple. I wanted to be there for you, I wanted to tell you. I just couldn’t kiddo. It’s too dangerous”
“You need to tell her. She deserves to know and if you don’t tell her, I will” Blake finally spoke. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to his chest.
Tell me what? What did Blake know that I didn’t?! Was he also lying to me!?
“Please don’t. She doesn’t need to know” Richard begged Blake.
“Actually, yes she does. She’s been trying to figure out how she fits into my life and here you two are, with all the answers she needs. Fucking tell her or I swear, the next phone I make will be to the council elders?
Richard’s expression changed. He was shocked and it was written all over his face.
“Blake, what the hell are you talking about?!” I wriggled and tried to free myself from Blake’s hold. Tears still streaming down my cheeks.
“You’ve told her? She knows what you are?” Richard asked.
Blake nodded and I heard mum gasp.
“You’re one of them?” She exclaimed.
“Will someone please tell me what you’re talking about?” I yelled, squirming in Blake’s arms.
They all looked at each other, trying to figure out who was going to tell me.

“Rosy, your father, is one of us. He’s a werewolf” Blake finally spoke.
I stopped wriggling and froze in my spot. What?
