Her rejection, His Regret: Part One
me." She looked so happy to see me, and it warmed my heart to see my old friend. She manoeuvred around the half-stacked chairs to hug me. As she got closer to me, I could not
But she was still my mother. "Where have you been all this time?" She held me tightly, almost squeezing the life out of me. "You know where I was, but that is unimportant right now. Are you ok?" I had many questions to ask her, but I did not want to overwhelm her. She sighed and loosened her grip on me before turning to the bed and sitting on it. With her hands on her lap, she looked up at me and shook her head. "What is it?" I whispered, kneeling before her and taking her hands in mine. I did not like to see her this way, in so much pain. She started to cry all over again, and I just sat with her until she felt ok enough to talk. "Isla, your father. Well, he's gone and done a runner with his mistress. Just upped and left me." She blew her nose hard into a handkerchief and wiped her eyes. My father had left us for another she-wolf. No wonder my mother was in such a wrong way. How could my father do such an evil thing to us? I could no longer have respect for him after treating my mother in such a disgusting way.

I rolled my eyes and growled. He was the last one I wanted to see right now. "You go, darling. I will see you later, and I need to go back to sleep for a while." She pulled the covers over her and rolled over to her side so I could not see her face. I knew she was crying again, and I was unhappy about being called away from her side. Alpha Miller would undoubtedly get a piece of my mind. "I will be back up soon," I told my mother as I glared at Aly. She lowered her eyes to the ground and stepped aside so I could pass. I knew that she was going to follow me and attempt to try and talk to me, but I was not interested in anything unless it was about my mother since she was the most important one right now. The s
