Chapter Nine

Rosalyn's pov

After Alessandro and I left Ke'shaun's office we ventured to the second floor where Michael told us

my father would be, I haven't seen my father in years we've talked over the phone and our

relationship is pretty good however I can't help but wonder if deep down he's disappointed in me,

after all I did get pregnant at 18 and as bad as the whole situation was with my family and being

rejected looking back I should have at least visited once or twice it's not like I had to stay at the

pack house my dad still owned our house he just moved to the pack house because it was easier.

Micheal couldn't visit us because of his beta duties and dad only came once but that was when

Alessandro was a baby. I stopped in front of a room with a double door and knocked twice before I

heard a gruff

"come in,"

I walked into the room with Alessandro close behind me. my dad was in his bed looking pale and

sickly, he looked nothing like the brave strong beta I knew growing up. I immediately rushed to his

side and engulfed him in a tight hug fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall from my

eyes at any moment due to the sight of my father.

"Hi daddy" I said as I held onto my father like he would disappear at any moment.

"Hello baby girl" my dad replied

"Why didn't you or Michael tell me that you were this sick I would have came out here earlier" I

asked him as a tear fell from my eye

"I didn’t want to worry you Rosa plus you have a good life in Italy I didn't want to burden you with

my problems.” He replied with a cough

"grandpa don't say that you'll never be a burden to us we love you"

Alessandro said before I could say anything else to my father. Dad tilted his head and looked at

Alessandro with a smile

"Alessandro my boy you've grown so big I hardly recognized you come give your granddad a hug."

Alessandro threw him self at his grandfather hanging onto him like his life depended on it, he and

my father had a deep bond and he loves him very much he was the father figure in Alessandro’s life

in all his years of growing up and even though we lived countries apart my dad was always there for

Alessandro whether it was via phone call email or FaceTime and that's why I know it hurts him to

see his grandfather like this.

I was extremely puzzled as to why my dad was so sick he didn't have any physical injuries as far as I

could see so I decided to ask him about it.

"Dad?" I said bringing back his attention to me

"why do you look so weak and pale I can't see any injuries on you so it can't be that your healing

from physical pain so what's wrong?" I asked, worried as to why my father looked like that.

"First of all Rosalyn I want to apologize to you for not being a good father when you were growing

up I guess I was so busy being a beta it took you running away for me to see the giant flaws in my

family. The reason why I'm this sick is because y-your mom left, we had an argument about you and

she asked me and Michael to choose between you and her we decided that she was making an

absurd request and told her we wouldn't choose she then left shortly after, we searched for her for

months but couldn't find her we gave up hope when we had exhausted all our resources then, a

couple months ago I felt a burning pain in my neck and my heart felt like it was being ripped from

its place in my chest I asked my wolf Riley what was going on he told me that our mate had been

marked and mated by another and the pain I was feeling was the pain of our bond shattering. I

hadn't eaten, slept or talked to anyone in weeks and my wolf became unresponsive so Michael

made me move into the pack house. At first I was a bit better with other people around but then my

depression came back and I've been like this ever since. I knew Michael was gonna invite you to his

wedding and he wanted to tell you what has been happening whenever he called but I asked him

not to tell you I didn't want you guys to worry."

I gasped at what my father just told me I could the hear the hurt and betrayal he felt in his voice,

how could mom do that to him the man she was married to for so many years he was her mate. I

remembered what my dad said about her wanting them to choose between her or me I couldn't

hold back my tears any longer as I thought to myself this is my fault if he had just chosen her my

dad wouldn't be going through this pain right now.

"Oh my darling baby girl don't cry” my dad soothed as he tried to calm me down

"dad I'm so sorry this is all my fault if you had chosen her instead of spending your time searching

for me you wouldn't be in so much pain right now" I said as tears poured from my eyes.

"No no honey none of this is your fault it's not anyone's fault I don’t know why your mom rejected

you since the day you were born but I do know that I love you with all my heart and that will never

change."

I hugged my father and told him how much I loved him with all my heart. We spent practically the

rest of the day catching up laughing and talking about life throughout the past years. Michael had

stopped by from time to time to check on us as well.

By the time we were done talking it was already 4:00 in the evening, my dad sent us off to have

dinner and said he was gonna take a nap because he felt tired. As i closed the door to my dad's

room I couldn't help but feel sad because of what my dad was going through.

"Don’t worry mom he'll get better I know it" Alessandro said while hugging me from the side

"I know mi bambino it just hurts to see him like that.”

"how about we try calling out to his wolf maybe if his wolf comes back he'll start feeling better"

asked Alessandro

"that's a good idea son I'll ask your aunt and uncle to try as well"

"ok mom now let's go have dinner cause I'm starving” Alessandro replied as he threw his hands in

the air dramatically

I chuckled at his antics and said "ok let's go to the kitchen and I'll make us something to eat.”

When we arrived at the ground floor I saw people bustling about, I stopped a young girl to ask her

what's going on she replied with

"the alpha's parents and sister are due back any minute now" and rushed off to where she was

going.

I remembered Michael telling me that this morning but I just shrugged it off and made my way to

the kitchen with Alessandro by my side.

Ke'shaun's pov

I was just finishing up the last of my paper work when a pack warrior mind linked to tell me that my

parents just entered through the gates. I had already showered and changed so I got up from my

chair and made my way to the front door to welcome back my parents. When I reached the steps I

saw micheal and Jermaine along with most of the pack members waiting at the door. As soon as I

walked to the door it opened to reveal my parents and my baby sister Izzy.

I hugged all three of them and welcomed them back home followed by Jermaine. Michael took their

bags while the rest of the pack greeted their former alpha and Luna they then left to carry on with

their daily routines as I escorted my parents to the living room. I Inmediately sensed Rosalyn and

Alessandro in the dining room and I started to panic because I could tell that my parents sensed

them too

"Ke'shaun dear why didn't tell us there were new additions to the pack" asked my mother

"because there isn't any mom they are just visiting from another pack outside the US."

"Oh ok but one of them do smell awfully familiar though"

Jermaine then came to my rescue With "let's just enjoy having you guys back mom and not focus

on what others smell like."

My parents then made their way to the living room and took a seat on the couch, Izzy had wheeled

herself to the kitchen because she was thirsty, it always broke my heart to see my sister in that chair.

We were sitting and talking when I saw Izzy returned from the kitchen followed by amber

"Hello Mr and Mrs black I'm so glad you guys made it back safely” said amber

"thank you amber it's lovely to see you as well” both my parents replied.

I don't know what my parents saw in amber but they keep on pressuring me to choose her as my

mate it's probably because she comes from a rich high class family like us my parents are all about

status and class. I was brought out of my thoughts when Izzy asked me

"who's the pretty lady in the dining room Ke'shaun and there's a boy who looks like you as well but

younger"

My heart stopped beating for a second when I heard what my sister asked I didn't plan on telling

my parents about Alessandro and Rosalyn like this. I looked over at Jermaine to see him looking as

surprised as I was. I was about to say something when I saw Rosalyn and Alessandro passing by the

living room.

"That's them" Izzy said pointing to the two people walking by

My parents looked in their direction and I heard my mother gasped when she looked at Alessandro.

At the same time micheal came up to Rosalyn and they were having a conversation by the door not

even noticing us. My mother then called out to Michael to grab his attention, all three of them

looked around at us and my mother got up from the chair and made her way over to them. When

she was face to face with them she asked

"Who are you people and what are you doing here?"

Rosalyn looked taken back for a moment then said "my name is Rosalyn Parker and this is my son

Alessandro Parker and we are visiting this pack for a month to attend my brother Micheal's

wedding.”

My mother then asked "Are you Steven's daughter that went missing all those years ago?"

"Yes ma'am" replied Rosalyn

my mother then said "why does your son looks like a younger version of my son?"

Making my heart wanting to jump from my chest because of how fast it was beating. Rosalyn

replied with

"that is something you should ask your son Mrs black"

As she was about to walk away, my mom stopped her by holding unto her arm them turned around

to me looking as furious as ever.

"Ke'shaun is there something you need to tell us?”

I sighed as I said told myself it's no use hiding it now.

"Mom, Dad this is Rosalyn my mate and our son Alessandro.”

They both gasped at my answer then my dad who had been quiet through all this spoke up

"if he is your son then why doesn't he have your last name"

before I could answer Alessandro said to my father * that is because he got my mother pregnant

then rejected her”

this time only my mother gasped "Ke'shaun how could you reject your mate then let us think all

these years that you were mateless?"

I don't know what took over me in that moment when I yelled

"really mom really you guys didn't mind me being "mateless” when you so eagerly wanted me to

marry amber because she was from a rich family besides I didn't reject Rosalyn because I wanted to

I did it because dad wanted me to mate with amber to produce a pup of a strong bloodline she is

an alpha's daughter afterall and she came from a rich family so don't act like you guys are sad that I

rejected her."

My mother looked at me shocked with tears in her eyes then turned to my father whom she then

slapped across his face

"how could you?" She yelled as tears rolled down her cheeks.

My dad then scoffed and said "first of all you did the right thing by rejecting her steven was a good

beta but his bloodline wasn't strong enough to give you the powerful Heir that amber can besides

who's to say that this kid is yours anyway he could be a bastard who just resembles you for all we

know."

My anger was boiling at what my dad said about Rosalyn and my son however before I could reply

Alessandro let out a loud growl that shook every inch of the pack house, we all turned to him in

shock. Alessandro walked up to my father menacingly while emitting his power then said

"that powerful enough for you old man?"

My father looked surprised for a moment then said

"you are no grandchild of mine your just a bastard with a gold digging mother trying to take my

son's money but if you think I'll ever let that happen you can think again.”

The moment he uttered those words Alessandro pinned him to the wall he then replied my father

with

"If we wanted your son's money we could have gotten it a long time ago plus my mother always

worked hard for whatever she wanted and that's why she opened up her own cafe by herself plus I

work as well so we don't need your filthy money that you lied and cheated innocent people out of.”

"A cafe? ha don't make me laugh what can you do with that I could buy her out in less than an hour

I'm a business tycoon with multi million dollar companies I could have anything I want" replied my

father

I then yelled "that's enough"

Everyone looked at me surprised especially Rosalyn, Alessandro then let go of my father then

walked to me and said

"Remember our deal alpha I would hate to make you an orphan before time."

I could see that he was trying to control his wolf by the way his eye colour was changing in a flash

Rosalyn then walked up to him and whispered something in his ears and I could see him calm down

instantly. My mom walked up to them looking at Alessandro like he was a child she lost years ago,

Seeing my mother stare at him like that Alessandro hugged her to my surprise then apologized for

his behavior.

When he let her go my mom was shocked; Alessandro then turned to his mother and told her he

was going for a run after kissing her cheek. When he exited the front door I saw him shift into his

wolf and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw how big he was, he was just about an inch shorter

than me and I couldn't help but feel proud; my heart however stopped beating when I heard my

mother say

"Rosalyn would you become the luna of this pack?"
