Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474

I knew what it felt like to be rejected by your family. I took a step forward to follow him.

“Let him go, Sienna,” Richard Dad said.

“I can’t,” I said. “There’s no one who understands what he’s going through better than me. Besides… I love him

Dad.”

Dad softened at the use of the term, even has he sighed and shook his head, “It’s your life, daughter. But be cautious of that one. He cannot see beyond his own ego, and will want to try to take you down so that he can build himself back up.”

While I valued the new relationship I was building with my birth father, he had only just entered my life, and he had yet to try to make any real connection with lan. Because of that, I wasn’t as willing to trust him on matters of the heart. Plus, his own relationship with Ruth seemed messy.

How could they be really together when they spent so much time apart? That wasn’t the life I wanted for myself.

I would rather follow my own heart, even if it led me into follow.

After one more quick, “I’m sorry,” I left Dad and took off towards the trees to find Jan.

He hadn’t gone into the forest very far, just deep enough to not be immediately visible from the main roads and pathways.

When I came upon him, he was leaning against one of the taller trees. His arms crossed, he glanced at me and then away. The newspaper was still tucked up under his arm, but he was paying no care to it, smashing it between his elbow and torso like he wanted to destroy it.

I didn’t say anything at first, just walked up beside him and existed there in his orbit for a while. I hoped this would be a comfort to him, but I couldn’t honestly tell if it was or not. He was impossibly difficult to read, especially when he was hard like this, glaring at everyone and everything. Even at me.

“I hate it here,” he said, unprompted. “My life has gone from bad to worse. Now, not only am I living among rogues, but I’m taking orders from them? While my own family has cast me out? What have I become?”

I tried to be understanding, knowing that this was difficult for him, maybe more so than anyone else. The rest of us had already gone through hardships, while Ian had stayed in his ivory tower, judging everyone from the lap of luxury.

But that was a difficult perspective to accept, especially as I was now deeply entrenched in the rogues, since they were my true parents and all. When Ian was insulting the rogues, he was no insulting me.

“You’ve become someone more likeable,” I snapped, driven to the edge by his pompousness.

He blinked and looked at me in surprise. I was surprised too that those words came out of me, but I was pleased too,

because he wasn’t glaring anymore. And secretly, I’d been wanting to scold him for a long time.

Who did he think he was to treat the rest of us like he did?

I still loved him. I always had. And I could see in him the way I used to be. But while the rest of us were moving forward, he was still standing still.

“If this is meant to be comforting, I’m not sure you are doing a good job,” he said. “How in the world could being a rogue make me more likeable?”

“Because you were holier than thou before, lan,” I said. “You acted like your mansion was the center of the universe, but it never was. It’s nice, but you aren’t Alpha. Your family has never been Alphas. I don’t know why you could possibly think you are better than anyone else.”

I braced myself, expecting a harsh burst of anger as I unloaded some harsh truths.

Instead, lan looked at me with fresh clarity, like he was seeing me for the first time.

I licked my lips and lowered my head, suddenly feeling a bit self-conscious.

He caught my chin with his knuckles and slowly raised my face right back up.

“Ian,” I said. I didn’t want to take back what I said, but when he was soft like this, I didn’t know what to do. He could so easily hurt me, body, mind, and heart.

But he didn’t.

He leaned in and he kissed me.
