CanI?” Biting my lip, I hold back an ugly cry and nod even though I know he can’t see it. Standing up, I walkover to the light switch mounted on the walk and turn it on, pausing for a second to get my bearingback before turning around. He gasps, his eyes wide with wonder. “You look just like her,” he whispers, a faraway look in his eyes. I could see himrclearly in the dark but it still didn’t prepare me for the image of him in a bright whitelight. As though it was possible, he looks even worse than he did a minute ago. “Don’t look at me like that?” He says sternly and I drag my gaze up to his eyes to find strength in them.“I can still get up from the bed and own myself in any fight.”
I laugh, pressing my palm against my mouth to hold in the bubble of laughter that’s trying to make itsway OUL My father smiles, a laugh escaping out of his mouth. That laugh dies down when he erupts into acoughing fit that shakes his lithe frame. I rush over to his side and reach for the cup of water on his bedside table, pressing it against his dry
lips.

I daresay that it’s going to put a flaw in your plans,” I tease, drawing a soft smile out of him that has mesmiling as well. “Even your smile looks like hers,” he says with a wistful look in his eyes. “And you have her eyes andher hair.” I smile at him and tuck my hair behind my ears, suddenly feeling shy. “How did you meet her?” I ask,interested in hearing about their story. My mother never even told me his name. There was no way thatI could have coerced her to tell me about that relationship.

I had just lost my mate and I went there to drown my sorrows in a bottle even thoughwerewolves don’t get drunks, I didn’t care about that. I sink into the seat, getting ready for the story about to be told. “She was there alone. She had just moved into town and was on her first night out.” He smiles. “That’swhen I saw her, dancing in the corner all by herself and unaware of the attention that she was drawingto herself.” He chuckles. “She was always so oblivious to those sorts of things. Never believed thateveryone in the room had their gaze on her.” I smile, imagining my Mom’s younger self in a bar, having the time of her life and unaware that she hadjust caught the attention of a grieving Alpha. “I was bewitched from the very moment that I set my eyes on her.

“I want to hear about it, I say and meaning it. I love hearing about their story. I want to know abouteverything that has been hidden away from me. He looks over to me and I don’t know what he sees in my eyes but he nods in understanding. “She hada run-in with the wrong crowd and I swept in and saved her. I asked for her number afterward and shejust turned on me. She said she didn’t need my help and that she had everything under control.” I laugh. That sounds like something my Mom would do. The woman hated looking weak in front of anyone. “What happened afterward?” I’m so invested in this story. He sighs. “She left and I didn’t see her after that until a week later. He coughs, causing my worry to risebut after a while, he quiets down. “Sorry about that,” he apologized, his cheeks had color in them butthis time they were caused by his embarrassment. “It’s ok,” I say, reaching for the glass on the table and feeding the water to him. He thanks me and clears his throat as I place the glass back on the table. “So where was I?” “You were telling me about how you two met again a week after the first incident, I remind him and henods, his face brightening up a bit as he tells his story. 1 As I watch his lips move, his expression changing, and varying with the tone of whatever it is he’ssaying, I realize one thing.
