Mated in the Shadow of My Sister novel Chapter 61

Chapter 0061

I still feel unsure, but I can tell neither of them want me here anymore. I reluctantly head upstairs to my room.

(Alpha Brady POV)

“What the hell was that?” I yell at my father.

“Watch your tone, Boy,” my father responds coldly.

“Watch my tone? Watch YOUR tone. I am the alpha of this pack. I do not know why you constantly force

me to remind you of that fact.”

My father stays silent.

“Was it really necessary to bring up Evelyn, AGAIN? After all this time, I would think you would have

forgiven me. You are clearly capable of forgiveness, given that you brought up that a&&hole James

today.”

“1 forgive no one.”

“Clearly.”

We continue to glare at one another. Our silent stand–off lasts several minutes, until finally I sit down

exhausted. There is no point in continuing it. He will never back down.

Once I sit, my father sits as well.

“What is going on with James?” I ask, in an irritated but much calmer voice. “Tell me everything.”

“The last time that I talked to him, I planted a couple of seeds. He watered them, they sprouted, and the sprouts broke his world apart. Now he is trying to understand what happened so that he can piece things

back together again.”

“Good for him. How does that have anything to do with Lily? Or us?”

“Lily is his mate, Brady.”

“No, Lily WAS his mate. She is entitled to move on, just like Evelyn did.” I choke up a little as I say that last part, and my father notices. To my shock, his face softens a little bit.

“Do you remember how upset you were when you realized the mistake that you made by rejecting Evelyn?”

“Yes.”

“And do you remember how you reacted when you found out that she had marked and mated with

away from me.”

“Yes, I am.”

I take a deep breath. “Fine. But I am doing it for her, not for that a&&hole.”

I get up and start to walk away. I have to find Lily and then somehow explain all of this to her. I just hope

she does not hate me.

Just before I leave, my father says something that shocks me to my core.

“Brady, I want you to know that I am sorry.”

I spin on my heel and look at him. “What?!?”

+15 BONUS

“I handled the Evelyn situation poorly. I should have helped you realize your mistake and fix things before

it was too late. Instead, I got angry and left you on your own. For that, I am sorry.”

My jaw drops. I have never heard my father apologize to anyone, for anything, ever.
