Dad!” Margret and I shouted I swear I’m tired of your disrespect towards my husband.” She glared at him.
“Michael, this is obnoxious. A man can’t marry another man! It’s not right, nor does it make sense!” he shouted, glancing at
Todd.
“Dad, I’m gay, and I love it. I accept it. I honestly don’t care how you feel about that. I only invited you here because you’re my father, and I still respect you, but you’re losing my respect,” I told him. Margret gulped her wine,
“Come on, Tina, talk to him. He always listens to you. Tell him this is wrong,” he said to my mom. Mom only rolled her eyes.
“You are mates, and then what? Do you get married? What about kids? And how do I tell my friends? What happens to our family legacy!” he shouted.
“You are only thinking about yourself, Dad! Todd makes me happy,”

Who the hell is Todd?!” he yelled. He was losing it at this point. His wife tried to calm him, but the man wouldn’t. We let him go on and on, only watching him. When he calmed down, Todd took a step towards him. Dad raised an eyebrow. My mate looked solemn,

We are mates, and Michael is old enough to decide what he wants. You have to get with the program,” he said casually. “I love your son, and you won’t scare me away,” he said and went to next beside me. I nodded, proud of him. Dad’s face paled like he was about to faint.
“I can’t… I can’t,” Dad shook his head.
“Shawl Krayton, enough! Enough of this… Enough being stuck in your old ways,” Mom flared, pointing a finger at him, “You knew who he was, but you refused to believe it!” Dad wanted to protest, but Raya hushed him harshly. Mom gave her a nod of thanks. It was the first time they had agreed on something.

Your only son has been stuck in the closet for so long in fear of your malicious judgment, finds his mate. A goddess–given mate decided to share his happiness with you, but you insulted him instead of supporting him. Shame on you, Shawl,”
My eyes trailed to my father. He had so many emotions written on his face as he stood silently. He always knew what I was, but as Mom said, he refused to accept it. I understand it was hard for him to do. I would give him time and allow him to accept it. It
was too much for him.
Shawl, we should be celebrating. It’s not every day one finds a mate, love,” Raya said. My Dad smiled faintly smiled and kissed

“I’m hungry. Is there something to eat?”
“We have food… Plenty of that. I prepared lamb steak using my grandmother’s recipe; may her soul rest in peace, and for Margret, there is plenty of Champagne,” Todd laughed. Everyone chuckled. My sister loved to drink Champagne whenever no
matter the occasion or time.
“Haha,” my sister mocked, grabbing a bottle from one of the servant’s small buckets.
Dinner went peacefully, and everyone conversed. Lamb was my Dad’s favorite food. He praised it a lot and wished Raya could cook like that.
“Todd, you should give me a recipe for this. I wouldn’t want to get the bolt because no one could cook this better than you,” Raya joked.
