Now, as he closed the diary, Colby chuckled to himself. That was the day his hatred for Emma had first began, even though he’d always still secretly crushed on her. She seemed to make fun of him even more after that day, which he later discovered was because she, too, had a secret crush on him but was too afraid to admit it to herself. They didn’t really stop hating each other until after they were mated.

It would be one hell of a story for their future grandkids.

Chapter 16: Emma

The next day, Davenport seemed slightly more energetic than he had lately. It was a bright, sunny day outside, so Colby and Emma took him to the park.

Emma sat down on one of the swings and began to swing back and forth with Daven in her lap. Colby reached out his arms and pretended to pick him up every time the swing moved forward, which, to his surprise, made Daven giggle.

“So, I saw my stepdad last night,” Emma told him quietly. “And the day before.”

“You did?” Colby asked with raised eyebrows. “Where?”

“Two days ago, I came across him in the woods. Then, yesterday, we met up at my mom’s house,” she explained. “We asked my mom if she wanted to become a werewolf.”

“I see,” he mumbled.

She glanced over at him. “You’re not mad, right? I know that we don’t usually ask people if they want to become wolves and that it’s usually something we save for life or death situations only, but . . . this is my mom.”

“I understand why you’d want her to become a wolf,” Colby agreed. “And given the fact that your stepdad’s a werewolf, too, I can’t imagine anyone telling you that you can’t do it. But . . . did she agree to it already? I thought she considered us to be ‘monsters’.”

“She does—or she did, at least,” Emma admitted. With a sigh, she added, “But she actually didn’t agree to it yet. She’s mad at my stepdad for leaving, and who can blame her? I would be mad at you, too.”

“I would never leave you,” Colby reassured her.

Even if I’m pregnant and you’re not ready for kids? Emma wondered to herself, careful to make sure that he couldn’t hear her thoughts.

“And if your mom does agree to become a wolf, I think it’s great,” Colby went on. “I know how hard it is to lose a parent.”

She swallowed hard, feeling the sadness that swarmed through his body. The level of pain that he felt these days when talking about his father was nothing in comparison to the way he’d felt right after he found out Darren had betrayed him and his mother, and when Darren died. But the pain was still there, hidden beneath the surface.

Emma hoped that, one day, Colby would be able to move past it. She knew that it wouldn’t be for a long time, though. His father would always be a part of him.

An awkward silence settled beneath them for a few minutes.
