Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 136

*****Erika's POV*****

As we left the hospital and headed back to the packhouse, my nerves began to kick in again. I couldn't help but wonder how it would be to see my father again after all this time. We were apart for months or was it a year? My palms turned clammy as I imagined our long-awaited reunion.

We soon arrived at the packhouse and the car door was pulled open for me. Jace helped me out, alongside Alex whom I still found weird for all the kind gestures.

We walked into the packhouse, the maids and guards bowing in unison on seeing I had returned home. Their Alpha was back after being in the infirmary for a while Two Months. Cindy did a bad job at healing me up quickly. She had to wait for two whole months just to heal me up?

I ignored everyone and made my way directly to my father's bedroom, he was the only one I wanted to see at this point.

Once I neared his room door, I heard the voice of the doctor as he spoke to my father.

Taking in a deep breath, I reached out to knock on the door and they both halted their conversation to know who it was.

"Come in."

Hearing my father's familiar deep but smooth voice again after such a long time, made me want to tear up. But I held it in, stood my ground, and walked into the room.

The moment his pair of clear silver eyes met mine, my heartbeat accelerated.

"Father," I called out first, honoring him not just as a father but as the Former Alpha of the prestigious pack.

"Erika." He called back. I trembled, hearing my name tumble out of my father's mouth again. When was the last time he called me by my name?

That was when I arrived home after my divorce, he would often call me his little Alpha, but I preferred my name from his lips.

"Father…" I drawled, bawling my hands to avoid tearing up.

The doctor seemed to have understood that we needed some privacy and he immediately stood up to leave.

He bowed at me and then at my father before walking out of the room.

Now alone with my father, I couldn't hold it back in and finally let the damn break.

"Dad…" a smile made its way to his face as he extended his hands, calling me closer.

I took up that invitation and ran straight to throw myself into my father's arms after such a long time.

It felt so good to be in his arms once more after everything that had happened in the past. After everything I had to face, the emotions and all.

It felt so surreal.

Without my father by my side, being an Alpha wasn't as easy as I thought. It came with a lot of duties which I most times needed to think my head off before comprehending.

No wonder he said Jace would teach me everything I needed to know about all these.

But still, Jace didn't teach me much and I was left to figure things out on my own.

After I pulled away from the hug, I stared at my father's face, his lips all were looking extremely pale and I felt my heart squeeze a bit. The Demon orchid wolfsbane was enough to kill a werewolf, but the father survived. That was to show that he wasn't just a fighter, but he loved us dearly.
