DADDY ISSUES

I woke up drenched in sweat, breathing hard, and worried beyond reason about Jack. All week, since he’d left to go hunt for Zach, I’d been having strange dreams, and this one hadn’t been so much strange as worrisome. It took me a minute to fully become aware when I woke up from the vision-like dreams. I was shocked to find my dad standing at the end of my bed looking worried.

“Dad? What the hell are you doing in here?”

“Did you have another dream?”

“Are you watching me sleep now? Because that’s just weird.”

“No, Jess, I am not watching you sleep. I came up to tell you that the King is here to see you, but you seemed to be having a nightmare. I wasn’t sure if I should wake you or not, but you sat up on your own.”

“The king?”

“Yes, Antoine is downstairs, requesting an audience.” My father’s words were dripping with sarcasm. If he ever held any respect for the Ancient royalty, it was lost when their supreme ruler took away my free will and ordered me to date two of his sons at once. Thankfully, that debacle was over now that I had chosen one of them. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use that choice to piss off Antoine, because he had gotten what he wanted. I was with a son from his first bonding. I looked over at my clock then.

“It’s only seven in the morning! Who shows up at someone’s house, unannounced, at seven o’clock in the morning?”

“Kings do, Jess. He does as he pleases, and we must not question it.” My dad added, “right now,” under his breath.

“Fine. Whatever. I need a shower first. I’m all sweaty, and since he didn’t call ahead, he’ll have to wait, King or not!” My tone was haughty, and I probably sounded like a spoiled brat, but I didn’t care. I didn’t like Antoine one bit, and just because he was the King of the werewolves didn’t mean I had to play the good, devoted commoner for him. We both knew that one day, being the white wolf meant that I was going to be above Antoine in the chain of command. Maybe, he should get used to it sooner, rather than later.

“Jessica, you’re treading dangerous ground.” My father seemed worried, but there was an undercurrent of pride in his tone as he spoke. He was sick of Antoine pushing me around too.

“Seriously, dad, do you think if I piss him off he’s going to make me date the other son too? I am tired of his bullshit. Also, I smell. I’m taking a shower, and he can wait. Oh, and we need to talk about the dream I just had, but not with him here.”

“Okay, I’ll go entertain some more while we wait for you.” My dad looked back over his shoulder before he left the room, “please, hurry.”

Before I ran and jumped in the shower, I texted Mikael.

Your dad is at my house for some reason, requesting an audience.
