The Rejected Daughter Of An Alpha novel Chapter 10

"They wouldn't mark each other. At least not without human consent, but that doesn't mean that they wouldn't officially accept each other in the eyes of Luna." Whiskey says.

"GUYS! DINNER IS GETTING COLD!" Cassandra shouts up the stairs and we al stand and head down for dinner.

Dinner goes by relatively calmly, with very little discussion. Everyone was so busy enjoying the food, they simply forgot that words were a thing besides the occasional compliments to the chef. After dinner, most of us went back to the office and this time my mother joined us. We did and quick recap of everything discussed before dinner and filled mom in on all that had been discussed. Now for the fun part.

"Mom." I say to get her attention and she hums in response. "I think we should meet with him. I think you should explain why you never told him about me and I could get a chance to explain why I didn't want him in my life. I never wanted him to know I existed but now that he does, I don't think it would be fair to keep me from him without an explanation."

"I understand where you're coming from. I'll do it for you, my love. I assume you already have a plan?" She asks and I nod before Axe takes over talking.

"The plan is to invite him over to a small cafe we have in our pack and have a conversation in private. The cafe is commonly used for private meetings, so no one will ask questions as too why they are to stay away. This means his pack won't be able to ask questions and he can just say that he was just meeting with me about something." Axe says, making his fingers into a steeple. How very sherlock-ish of him.

"That would work. I'll talk to him about it tomorrow. We could do it the next day if that works for you." My mother says and Axe agree.

"I'll talk to him. I don't want you interacting with him too much. I may be willing to give him a chance, but I still don't trust him. At least with you." I say wanting to keep mom away from dad until I have a chance to talk to him in private.

"When I was young, probably about 4 or so, my mom was looking for work. The pack was under a different alpha and the pack doctor wasn't allowed to train anyone else. My mother was looking for work and went to a bar that your grandfather was in and I went with her because she didn't have anyone to watch me and I was a well behaved child so she trusted me." I say with a half smirk and a chuckle. "I was in my pajamas because it was late and mom went to the back to talk to the manager. I walked over to the bar after mom gave me kiss on the forehead and hopped up onto a stool that was way too big for me and I was sat next to Whiskey."

"He looked at me with this look of utter confusion and raised a brow at me as I ordered a Dr. Pepper from the bartender. They both looked at me with this look that just said 'What in the world is this child doing in a bar?'. I got my Dr. Pepper and Whiskey asked me just that. I explained that my mother was looking for work and was hoping to get a job here. We talked for a little while longer and he dismissed himself for a moment before coming back not two minutes later. Apparently, he'd gone and talk to the manager and demanded that my mom get the job once he saw how respectable she was. The rest is history." I explain, a smile on my face.

"Yeah, Grandpa Whiskey is a pretty cool guy. He's always running around and running his.. Uh.. Business." Axe says, not saying what that business is.

"I know he runs a mafia. I found out when I was 8 and didn't care. Mom didn't either because of how much he's done for us." I say with a shrug and a smile. He nods his head with a look of amazement on his face.
