He’s not your friend.

All I can think about for the rest of the day is the fact that my dad isn’t human.

I grind my teeth together as Parker and I walk hand in hand toward his Jeep. How could Dad have known the truth about me and never said one word? He knew how difficult things were for me. Maybe if he said something…

Parker opens the passenger side door to the Jeep. “Are you okay? You seem upset.”

“I’m fine.”

He motions toward our hands. “You’re kind of cutting off circulation to my hand because you’re squeezing it so hard.”

I let go of his hand. “Sorry. I’m just upset about my dad.”

“Want to talk about it?”

I lower my head. “No, but I also don’t want to go home.”

Parker nudges my chin with his hand so that I’m looking up at him. “You’re mad at your dad for not telling you that he’s a wolf shifter, right?”

“Yeah.” I lick my lips.

He glances down at my lips and takes a deep breath before looking into my eyes again. “Isn’t it a little hypocritical for you to be mad at him for not telling you the truth? You haven’t told him about you either. I know he should’ve told you, but he has his reasons for keeping it a secret. Just like you have reasons for not telling him.”

“When you put it like that…” my voice trails off as I’m not sure how to respond. Of course he is right, but it does little to help my annoyance.

He grins. “Let’s go get some food. After, you are going to go home and talk to your dad. If you want me to be there, I will. But you have to tell him the truth, Henley. If you open up to him, I bet he will open up to you.”

I take a deep breath, slowly nodding. “Okay. I will.”

He backs away, giving me some space.

“But you realize he probably won’t even be at home,” I tell him. “My dad never is. He’s always working.”

“I’ll make sure he is there.” He opens the door wider for me. “Let’s go get food. I’m starving.”

I’m beginning to learn that wolf shifters like to eat. Come to think of it, my dad eats a lot too.

I get into the passenger seat and Parker shuts the door behind me, making his way around the vehicle. I kick off my shoes and pull my knees up to my chest, hugging my legs against me. My stomach feels queasy as I think about the conversation I’m going to have with my dad later.

I never wanted to tell my dad the truth about my ability. It’s been important to keep it a secret. When I was a kid, I was convinced that my dad would leave if he knew the truth about me. But maybe Parker is right. Maybe he should know. I just need to face my fear. Not everybody who knows the truth will leave me. Those nannies that I had growing up were human.
