As soon as Dean appeared in front of us, the twins got very protective towards me and made sure that he couldn’t get too close. They knew what he did. That he offered Marilyn money to leave Alaska and she took it. So, they believed that he was just as guilty for putting me through that emotional hell as what Marilyn was.
They really didn’t like Dean and I didn’t blame them. I still don’t know how I feel about him. He was my biological father, but he was also the man who thought he could buy my love. That was never going to happen. Not ever.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“We’ve moved here. Temporarily for now. We’re thinking about making it more permanent. We’re renting a house out of town. I believe it’s just down the road from where you three live.” Dean said. And I looked at the twins. I could tell by the looks on their faces that they weren’t surprised by that. “Let me take you home.” Dean offered.
“No thanks. We’ll walk.” Tristan said.
“It’s getting really cold out here and you’re going to make your human mate walk all that way home. That’s a little tortuous, don’t you think?” He asked.
It was true, I had trouble keeping up with them. But they were going slow on the walk here. I knew that I was slowing them down but they didn’t complain about it. They were fine with it.
“Fine. But that’s it. Once we get to your place then we’re going back to ours.” Nathan demanded.
“Alright.” Dean said.
So we got into his SUV with Sierra and Sara and we started driving towards our little town outside of town and the twins were sitting on either side of me. I could feel them tensing up the longer we were in the car.
But we finally pulled up outside a house that was just as big as the twins and we all got out of the car.
Nathan instantly put his arm around me and Tristan grabbed me by the hand.
“Ella. I know that you want to go home, but I really think that we should talk.” Dean said.
“About what?” I asked, turning back to look at him.
“About everything. You are my daughter.” He said.
“And you paid my mother to leave town and she took it. Which means you’re just as pathetic as Marilyn.” I said.
“Do you have any idea what that did to Ella? Do you even care? Because we were here when that happened. We saw the effects of what you did. And Ella doesn’t deserve that. Not from someone that she doesn’t know.” Tristan snapped.
“Please. We don’t even have to go inside. We’ll stay on the veranda.” Dean said.
“I thought it was too cold to stay out here.” Nathan said. And Dean growled at Nathan.
“Guys. It’s alright. I’ll stay here and hear him out. But we’re staying on the veranda.” I said, looking at Dean.
“That’s fine.” Dean said.
