Chapter 99

Alpha’s White Lie
Chapter 99.
“ Since that revelation , I have questioned myself every day . Do you know why I questioned myself ? It was because of you . The man knocked up £ 16 – versold . hooker even after having a loyal , loving mate at home . The man that didn’t have the audacity to face his problems . The man that broke his end and walked . out on his mate , his family . Berause of you , I’ve doubted myself . ”
Rocky’s voice was filled with anger . He was even shaking a little . He stood tall and , unlike me ,
spoke confidently .
For as long as I had known Rocky , he had never hidden from Taylor and me about his father . He told us the story of him packing and leaving for another woman when we had become close enough to share intimate stories . After meeting Theresa , Taylor and I questioned how a man could leave a woman like her . She was amazing , and she had raised Rocky to be the gentleman he was .
Rocky inherited his father’s name , and he despised it . He always said he would change it but never did . Once Theresa told Rocky about his dad’s reat absence . Rocky hated him even more . Now I understood that I was part of that reason as well .
“ He said mate , ” I whispered .
It hit me like a wrecking ball . I got so caught up in my thoughts I didn’t even notice him using the word .
Blake’s arms tightened around me , and he hid his face in the crook of my neck . He obviously heard what I said .
“ He knows Angel . We can talk about that later . ” He whispered against my skin .
Rocky knew ? How long has he known ? Rocky said his mum was Richard’s mate . Did that mean he was full blood ?
Rocky’s voice broke my train of thoughts .
“ If it wasn’t bad enough that you ruined my life , you ruined three other lives . My mum , Beth’s , and Rosy’s . ” He turned to look at me . I was still clinging to Blake .
“ Did you even know about her ? Did you ever bother to find out what happened to her ? Or if she was okay ? Because she wasn’t . She has been carrying the world’s weight on her shoulders since she was 16. She was praying for a way out of the life she got brought into without her consent . She was praying for freedom from a mother that didn’t want her . She and I were the same age . While you were teaching me how to ride a bike , she taught herself how to fend off people who wanted to hurt her . What kind of a father are you ? ”
Rocky had seen my struggles , and he , just like Taylor , had been there to help me pick up the broken pieces .
“ I’m not proud of what I did . I think about both of you every day . I admit that I wasn’t the best father , but that doesn’t mean I didn’t care . What did you want me to do ? Put her life at risk ?! You know that they would have killed her son . The elders aren’t so merciful of people that break the rules . Both Rosalie and I would have been killed if they found out I had a child outside of mating . ”
Blake growled , and his arms tightened more . It got to a point where I felt like he was suffocating me .
“ Well then , you should have thought about all that before you knocked up Beth . You’re a selfish man . The elders are fair and are just trying to protect our kind . They wouldn’t have hurt Rosy because this isn’t even her fault . You fucked up , and now you’re just using her name to protect yourself ” Rocky’s voice was getting louder .
“ I may have screwed up , son , but you have no right to talk to me like that . I am still your father , and no son of mine will act this way . ”
