Alpha's White Lie (Rosy and Blake) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98

I let

go of the breath I was holding. My eyes opened to find a very

emotional Rocky and an equally shocked Richard.

“I-… I finally get to see both, my children,” he said, not being able to

mask the shock in his voice.

“Both?” Rocky asked.

“Well, isn’t this a joyous family reunion!” Mum chuckled from her

bed.

I ignored her and kept staring at Rocky. He was standing there

awkwardly, still glaring at Richard. My heart was beating so fast I was

worried it would pop out of my chest.

“Look at you. The last time I saw you, you were six years old and had

just learned to ride a bike. That was what? 10 or 11 years ago?”

Richard took a few steps toward Rocky.

“22 years ago, actually,” Rocky replied. Richard looked a little taken

back by the harness in Rocky’s voice.

“What do you mean, both kids?” Rocky asked and wiped his tears on

the back of his sleeves. He wasn’t an emotional wreck like I was. If

anyone could keep it together and ask the hard questions, it was

Rocky.

“I have two kids, Richard. Rosalie and you.” Richard’s gaze fell on me

before going back to Rocky.

Taylor gasped and covered her mouth. The shock was written all

over her face. Her eyes were the size of saucers. Rocky turned around

to look at me. His eyes were soft and filled with emotions I couldn’t

figure out. Was he mad at me? I was part of the reason his dad left

him. He had every right to be angry. My throat went dry, and I felt like

a fish out of water, struggling to breathe.

Slowly a small smile appeared on his face. He walked over to me, his

smile growing with every step. I felt Blake’s arms loosen around me a

little.

“You and I have always had a special relationship. I always felt a

connection to you and never understood what it was. Everything

makes a lot more sense now.” he said, and that small smile turned

into a full–blown grin.

I reached out, and he immediately engulfed me in a big hug. Rocky always silently filled in those big brother roles in my life. We had a

fun banter, but when I needed someone to talk to or encourage me, he was always there. I remembered blowing out my birthday candles

on my 18th birthday and wishing he was my real brother.

I buried my face into Rocky’s chest and let my tears pour out. Rocky

gently stroked my hair, and he shushed me. I felt him rest his chin on

the top of my head. He held me tightly, and I remembered all the times he had hugged me when I was having a meltdown. All the times

he had stood by me during my difficult times.

“You two have no idea how happy it makes me to see the two of you

like that. I can’t believe you both already know each other so well.”

Richard spoke from behind us, interrupting the moment we were

having.

Rocky sighed, and his arms loosened. He held me at arm’s length, looking at me intensely. There was still this emotion playing on his

face that I couldn’t understand.

“I’ll deal with him, ya?” He said, wiping the tears from my face. I

nodded. I was a wreck and had no intention to talk to Richard.

He looked behind me, and suddenly another pair of hands wrapped

around me. I knew it was Blake the moment his skin touched mine.

He pulled me into his chest and supported my weight, holding me in

place.

“Please stop with your bullshit. Twenty–two years ago, you packed
