Chapter 6

She didn’t want to go home. Her father would still be angry and carrying on about her bringing a shifter right to their front door. Those mangy mutts were filthy beasts and incapable of controlling their primal longings. He was disgusted she even considered dating one. The hell he lashed out at her after Jagger Quinn left, it was the first time she truly heard him speaking. She heard the prejudice in his voice, the stereotypes, and the garbage he was spewing…based on what?

Her stomach lurched realizing her own father wasn’t truly protecting her, he thought he was protecting his clean blood-line. He didn’t want half-breeds tainting up his family. The words rang out as he spewed more and more, venting, angry, and yelling after the shotgun incident.

Ingrid opened her eyes and saw the ignorance. It was a hard pill to swallow. She’d never even given the shifters a fighting chance. She’d been brainwashed to believe all these things about them her entire life. And yet, now she was questioning why…why did she believe them? She trusted her father; he loved her and looked out for her. But was he stuck on something in the past? It’s not like he interacted with them, so he didn’t know them well. It was confusing. Was her own blind lust making her susceptible to this new thought process, or was it simply growing up and thinking for herself?

She needed to know. Why the blind rage? Ingrid finally made her way home with nowhere else to go. Her father was waiting on her, disgust on his face.

“Pack your bags and go,” he said as calmly as he could. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he’d been crying, though his face was stone cold at the moment.

“Daddy?” She stood, stunned into silence and stared at him. It was hard to speak. She choked on tears, trying to find words. “Daddy, tell me why…” was all she could say.

He looked away from her. “You’re your mother’s child,” he said coldly.

“What?”

“Just go.”

“Daddy?” She was confused by his change.

“You belong with them.”

“I don’t understand.” She dropped onto the sofa. “Daddy, talk to me.”

He shook his head. “I tried to keep you safe, but you betrayed me, just like she did.”

“Dad, you’re not making sense.” Her head was swimming after the events of the night.

“You’re not mine. You belong in Mountain View Crest like the rest of them. Your mother, she betrayed me. You’re not my blood.” He turned away.

“But, I’m not a shifter,” she started, back pedaling. Her head grew dizzy. “I’m just a human.”

“You share their blood. I was afraid at first, but you never turned. I realized that while you carried shifter genes, you didn’t turn. Your mother…she…she strayed. I lied on the birth records and recorded myself as your biological father so it didn’t show up in the town records.”

“But you stayed with her?” Panic laced her voice.

“She was pregnant, what was I supposed to do? Let her raise a child alone? He didn’t stick around.
