I sat at the table as Marilyn was preparing the coffee and I wouldn’t take my eyes off of her. I was afraid that I would get a coffee mug thrown at me for some reason if I took my eyes off of her.
I needed to be on guard at all times around this woman. More now than ever before. She’d never been nice to me before. But now she was making me a coffee and she was being really nice for some reason. I was getting worried.
“Ella. You didn’t answer my question.” Marilyn said, looking over her shoulder. I had to think for a minute at what her question was before I actually remembered.
“Oh. He’s fine.” I said, simply. Still watching her with unwavering eyes to make sure that she wasn’t going to throw anything at me.
“How much time did you spend with him?” Marilyn asked.
“I spent a few nights at his house. I worked for him at one of his cafe’s. I guess we got to know each other pretty well. We talked about a lot.” I said, narrowing my eyes at Marilyn to see how she would handle that news. To see what she was going to with that little bit of information that I told her. I was hoping that maybe she would stop lying to me once and for all.
“I guess I have some explaining to do then.” She said. And I nodded my head slightly. Agreeing that she did. I was pretending like I already knew and this was her chance to give me her side of the story.
I know what Dean told me, but who could believe him? I’m not sure that anything he said was the truth.
“Well, I met Dean at a club in Seattle when I was out with my friends. He was very handsome and all the ladies were looking at him. But when I started to talk to him, I knew that he was mine. So, we went home together that night and that’s when you were conceived.” She said, turning around and leaning on the kitchen benches.
“Dean showed up where I worked the next day and asked me out. Well, I couldn’t say no to that. He was everything to me and it wasn’t long before he had moved into my little apartment with me. He didn’t really move in, he was just there all the time. But when I found out that he was a poor kid from Alaska, I couldn’t handle that. He told me that he would take care of me, but he couldn’t take care of me if he had no money. So, I started going out with my friends again, trying to find that perfect guy who had money to take care of me.” Marilyn explained. And I kept staring at her, this time with my mouth agape.
I guess she was always the gold digger that I know her to be.
“He didn’t know you were seeing other people?” I asked.
“No. He was always too busy with the business that he was trying to start up. He didn’t even notice when I started bringing other men to the apartment where he was living with me. But when he did find out from a neighbor, that nosy bitch, he left and I never saw him again.” Marilyn explained.
That must have been when he went to go and find his mate. To try and find some way of breaking this curse. He obviously didn’t but Sierra is his mate which is really unfamiliar in his pack these days. Most pack members have chosen mates because the curse stops them from finding their fated mates.
But everything she just told me confirms what I have always suspected. I was a child that was never meant to be born. Marilyn never wanted me because she thought Dean was a deadbeat with no money. I didn’t know that I could be any more disappointed in Marilyn, but here we are. Disappointed in a whole new way.
Marilyn doesn’t know anything about werewolves, so I was going to have to explain it all a different way to her. And I knew that this wasn’t going to be easy.
Now I was gonna have to watch out for things being thrown at my head.
“Well, I think you should know that he just didn’t want you to know the truth. Dad is actually a billionaire with a wife and a really cute daughter.” I said.
I saw Marilyn start to tremble with anger as soon as I told her the truth. But I think it was also me calling him ‘dad’ that really got to her. Especially since I’ve only known him for a very short time.
“So, you want to leave me to go and live with the billionaire’s money and forget all the hurt he caused me? You seem pretty comfortable calling a man that never raised you ‘dad’.” She said, sarcastically.
