Chapter 27

I stand up abruptly, turning toward the wall and throw the book, then watch it fall down to the floor with a dull thump. Immediately placing my hands over my face I begin crying, as if I were a child that had fallen out of a tree, the tears are more over the fear and aversion than anything else. Dad shifts in front of the desk and wraps his loving embrace around me; he stands abidingly, holding my trembling body as I cry in his arms.

With smooth even strokes he gently tucks the stray strands of my hair back from my blanched face. “Alyssa, he is a part of our world now, neither you nor I can deny it, he is a part of our coven and he is your lifemate.” Just when I think I can’t shed another tear more develop, the insuppressible tears flow down my face.

“Please Alyssa, don’t confuse hurt from pride. Hurt heals with time and trust in each other, but pride will take a scratch and cause it to be the death of you. As a personal favor to me, just listen to what he has to say.” Dad gives me a tight consoling squeeze and then I peek up to him wiping the tears away. His voice carries such a caressing tone that all I can do is take in the undeniable comfort he offers and allow it to wash over me.

“We all have lessons to learn whether it’s in the physical plane or the spiritual realm, you take only from it what is necessary for you to learn.” He tenderly lifts my chin so I can look at him, “We can’t carry this type of darkness around with us, not even for a short time, it will destroy you.”

“I know, Dad, I know our kind can’t have a negative presence surrounding us, with our elements residing deep inside.”

The element depends on us to guide its power and if we lose ourselves to the darkness we will lose control of the element too. We are like two separate entities bound together as one. Another reason our kind has lifemates, which adds an unwavering anchor, keeping us grounded to our true self.

I take in another shaky breath, walking over to where the book lays and picking it up, I clutch the book tightly in my hand, “I’ll be back in a minute Dad.” He presses a light kiss on my cheek and I exit his office.

Marc has resigned himself to sitting at one of the couches in the lobby, but stands as I approach him.

He glances discreetly down at my hand gripping the book, then back up examining my red and listless eyes.

“I need to drive for a bit when I get back we can talk,” I mumble in a matter-of-fact tone. Marc only responds with an even nod once to me as I canter by. Once out of the building I see David leaning against the Shelby as I approach.

“Hey, you doing okay?” he asks me.
