“Well we will let you get off and see you when you arrive. I imagine you will need to speak to Alpha too, but first we’ll chat, how’s that?” My mum says.

“Sounds good” I tell her, then I hang up.

I look to Knox. “Sorry about that, I just wanted to warn them”

“It’s all good. We’ll be there in about fifteen minutes”

I look out of the window, dreading what might be waiting when we get to pack….

What if Logan had said something bad about me? What if they made Knox hate me like half the people in pack seemed to now? My mind wandered and I could feel tears prickling at my eyes. I need to be strong, we could have a way out…I sniffed lightly, trying to fight back the threatening tears….

“Lilah, are you ok?” Knox looked to me, offering his hand, leaving the other steering.

“Just anxious” I explain squeezing his hand as we pull up the pack gates.

A guard stopping the car, as I’d expect. But the second he saw me he waved us through, which if Logan knew would piss him off as he literally just waved another Alpha onto pack…

Knox must have thought the same “Well invading your pack was nice and easy” he grinned.

I roll my eyes at him. Well he isn’t wrong…

“We got this sweet. If I am full on I apologise, I just want your parents to know I will look after you.” I can’t help but smile at him now.

See why does he have to be so sweet and irresistible like that?!

“Now you might have to direct me there” he tells me.

Oh of course, not sure why I expected him to find his way there without me directing him…

I give him directions to my parents house, knowing they both seemed happy on the phone. So should all be ok. It would be speaking to the Alpha I was unsure of and the fact Knox planned to address the issue of how I’d been treated.

I was dreading this….

We pulled up outside the house, and within seconds my mum was out of the house, flinging her arms around my neck as I stepped from the car “Oh Lilah I’m so excited for you!!” She said.

Oh goddess she’ll be planning a wedding before I get chance to breathe…..planning grand pups…. It should be me excited…. She seems literally giddy!

My Dad had come to the door too but was stood back watching Knox as he came out of the car and walked around to stand by me. Looking down at me and smiling.

“Hi Mrs Patterson. Lovely to meet you” he smiled at my Mum.

“Oh call me Sadie. Alpha Knox. Do come in” she led us to the house, though I swear she was close to flinging her arms around Knox too…literally giddy I swear!! She is going to be a nightmare!!

We walked inside “Hi Beta Patterson, how are you?” Knox offered him his hand, and my Dad shook it and smiled “I’m good Alpha Knox thanks, you?

Jeez this is awkward….

“Do go sit in the living room, I’ll sort some drinks. Would you like a coffee?” My mum seemed excited just to have Knox here. It was almost amusing.

“A black coffee would be great thanks” he smiled at her.

“So you wanting to move straight to Midnight River Pack Lilah?” My dad asks immediately to the point.

I look at him sadly “I think so, is that ok?”

“Of course, of course. I’d expect nothing less. I know Alpha Knox is a good Alpha so I know you will be well looked after sweetheart” he nods toward Knox in acknowledgment.

Well that was easier than I expected… and going off my mum’s reaction she’d likely be packing my bags and pushing me out of the door before I finish my drink….probably with advice on how to get pregnant so she can have grand babies as soon as possible….

Knox smiles at him “Thank you. I appreciate that. Actually Beta Patterson may I speak with you about some concerns I have?”

My Dads face darkens, looking at Knox “About my Lilah?”

“No no sir, not as such. With finding Lilah was my mate we have been talking a lot and a few things have come up, including many things from her past…” my Dad was scowling as Knox spoke “including things with Logan Ashwood”

“That is the past though. Are you unsure if Lilah is right for you? Is that it?” He demanded.

Oh fucking hell, just what I needed my dad getting in a mood…he think Knox is implying I’ve done stuff with Logan I think…..

“Oh no not at all, she is most certainly right for me, I am mentioning this to you because I believe the things I discovered that concern me would greatly concern you as Lilah’s father too… but perhaps not just as her father but as Beta…it would concern me that a future Alpha and Luna has acted in such a way. That is why I wanted to come to you. I hope you appreciate that, I am doing this not to cause problems between packs, but to protect Lilah, my mate.” I could see Knox was trying to explain this as politically as he could. My Dad however didn’t look impressed….

I sat shaking nervously in my chair, my Dad eying me and Knox angrily “What’s going on?” he demanded.

“Here are the coffees, some cakes too” my mum comes into the room cheerfully completely oblivious to what she’s just walked in on. “Oh you’re not being the overbearing father are you Trent?”

“No, but Alpha Knox has some information I’d like to hear” his eyes still not leaving Knox.

So I sat while Knox took my phone, showed my Dad the screenshots I’d built up over time, my Dad’s anger was evident on his face, but he let Knox continue to explain the things I had told him about the torture, the broken bones, the bullying, the ostracising, the mind games from Logan trying to get me back, I saw tears in my mums eyes and she was now tightly holding my hand in hers but remained silent allowing Knox to talk.

“You threw yourself downstairs to get yourself checked over to cover her injuring you?!” My Dad said quietly, obviously connecting Knox mentioning me having a broken arm because of her the day they had found out they were mates…

My mum lets out a pained sob “I didn’t have Sky to help me heal, so I needed to get it checked…” I whisper.

“Oh sweetheart. I am so sorry…” Dad looked broken.

Then Knox played the recording from earlier tonight for them to hear too. My Dads jaw was was so tight hearing me referred to so negatively by them, he was beyond fury now.

“Is this everything?” My Dad looked to Knox.

“Physical evidence I believe so. But Indie tells me when they went swimming a few times she saw bruising and scratching on Lilah in various stages of healing…” Knox spoke quietly obviously thinking of a way to lie about the bruising he had in fact seen “I’m sorry to have to bring this to your attention, but it hurts me that Lilah has had to go through this, but concerns me that this is from a future Alpha and a future Luna, and I wonder if this should be raised sir”

“I can’t thank you enough for making me aware. Lilah I have failed you, I am so sorry. And Alpha Knox, I couldn’t agree more this is not the actions of a future Alpha or Luna. I will be bringing this to the Alpha myself you do not need to worry about that. And if it is not dealt with I will be reporting it to the council so it is investigated so I would appreciate if I could have copies of these please” my Dads voice was full of authority despite the fact he was speaking to an Alpha.

Not that Knox looked bothered in the slightest, he knew my Dad was upset and was wanting to protect me as much as he did. “Lilah sweetheart I don’t know how you have coped… I wish I had known… they tried to say you had mental health problems due to the situation with Logan, obviously we denied that….but the attempts on your life made many people believe it… though knowing all this and the fact you went through that alone it is no wonder you felt there was no way out…. I just wish you felt you could come to us” my dad finished looking to me, tears in his eyes, I had rarely seen him cry…

“I’m sorry pops” I whisper.

“Thank you Beta Patterson. I don’t want to be seen to be causing issues between packs, though please know if needed I would do what is needed to help protect your daughter. So any assistance needed let me know and it will be provided“. Knox speaks calmly.

“Ok formalities are done then son. Shall we have some coffee and cake before going to see the Alpha to tell

will be taking my daughter home with you?” My Dad smiled at me.

Son?! Wait, what? Where did that come from?

“Sounds good Mr Patterson” Knox smiles.

My mum reaches for me again “Lilah I wish you had told me”

“I didn’t want to put anyone at risk mum, and I wasn’t sure anyone would believe me. She told me that Dad could lose his job…. I was worried I would be disowned… or you would be pushed out of the pack like I had…. Don’t worry, everything will be ok now” I reassure them both.

Dad smiled sadly across the coffee table to me “I feel we failed you Lilah, I want to go and rip that boys throat out but let’s do this the right way. I will do all I can to make sure he does not become Alpha of this pack. While you go and flourish as a beautiful Luna to this fine Alpha at Midnight Forest, I couldn’t be prouder sweetheart”
