Simon went to dress, leaving Quincy and Malik alone in the kitchen. Malik didn’t say anything. He knew Quincy was still thinking about what Malik had said, what Simon had revealed about his parents.

When Quincy talked, it wasn’t about that, though. “So you’re mated.”

“Yes.”

“You didn’t lose time.”

“Why should I have? Simon and I are mates.”

“Right. You do know that most people would have waited at least a bit. Well, most sane people, and we both know you’re not all there in the head.”

“Oh, stop with the compliments, please. You’re going to make me blush.”

Quincy scowled, but it softened soon enough. “I hope you’ll be happy with him.”

“Me too.”

“And I’m sorry I said what I said the other day.”

“You should tell Simon that, not me.”

“I know, and I will. I’m going to hate it, but I’ll do it. I didn’t mean to make him feel like he wasn’t good enough.”

“I know.” And Malik did. Quincy’s family was very much like Simon’s. He hadn’t lied about that. Malik had met them a few times, and apart from one of Quincy’s sisters, they all were assholes. They thought Quincy was too small to be an alpha, let alone a council member. It didn’t matter that Quincy was probably stronger than all of them put together, both physically and mentally. They always saw him like the scrawny little kid Malik knew he’d once been.

“What are you going to do about his parents?” Quincy asked.

“Nothing.”

“Really? I can threaten them, then.”

“No. I’ll meet them, and I’ll defend Simon if they say anything in front of me, but unless Simon tells me to do something, that’ll be all I’ll do about them. Simon might be my mate, but his family is still his business.”

“So noble.”

“Not noble. I just don’t want to do the wrong thing. The last thing I want is to hurt Simon.”

“He’s already getting hurt.”

“And I won’t make it worse.”

No matter how much Malik wanted it, he wouldn’t do anything. He wanted to talk to Simon’s parents, to tell them to fuck off and leave him the hell alone, but he wouldn’t. There had to be a good reason why Simon kept seeing them even if they were assholes to him. Simon hadn’t told Malik anything, so Malik could only guess what that reason was. Those people were Simon’s parents, no matter what they’d done to him. Quincy still saw his, although that situation was different since he was their alpha now.

He could have kicked them out of the pack, especially because they still tried to intervene in every single decision he made, but he hadn’t. No matter how harsh they’d been with him, both in the past and in the present, he wasn’t kicking them out, and Malik knew it was because deep inside, he still wanted to please them, finally to get a nice word from them. Malik knew it wasn’t going happen, and he thought Quincy knew that too. It didn’t matter, though. He was still trying, no matter how much he might say or try to convince himself he wasn’t.
