Screw My Childhood Sweetheart His Alpha Brother Marked Me First novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Anson pulled to a stop in front of my house. “Want me to go with you? Help you explain?”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Reminding my father that I’d just spent the night with two boys when he was already pissed? Bad move.

River leaned forward, brushing a kiss across my lips. “Try to remember to leave yourself open to me. I’ll be able to read you better if you don’t have your walls up.”

“Okay.”

Anson pressed a kiss to my forehead. “Call us as soon as you’re done talking to them.”

“I will.” I opened my door and slid out before I could beg Anson to drive me away. My steps dragged as I walked up the front path, my feet feeling as if they weighed a ton.

The front door opened before my foot hit the first step. My father glared at me. “Do you honestly think I need this on top of everything else I’m dealing with? Your mother was worried sick about you all night.”

She appeared behind him, out of his line of sight, but I could see the twitch of her lips. She wasn’t worried. She was overjoyed there was a piece of evidence to support her tale.

“It wasn’t my intention to make anyone worry, but Mom was drunk last night and I was worried she’d throw another glass at my head.”

The color leeched from my mom’s face. “Do you see what she’s putting me through, Bruce? These hurtful lies.”

There was a flicker of doubt in my dad’s expression, but then it steeled again. “Get inside. Where were you last night?”

“I stayed with a friend.” It wasn’t a lie exactly. But I didn’t think my dad was ready for the truth. That I had five mates and apparently would turn into a wolf sometime in the next year. I had to fight a giggle from erupting. A wolf. Five mates. I still hadn’t wrapped my head around that one. Yet, it felt right.

“She stayed with boys,” my mother gritted out. “Senna’s sleeping around. She’ll probably get pregnant, and then we’ll have to raise another baby that isn’t ours.”

Her words didn’t cut nearly as deep as they normally did. Maybe because I had a support system now, a team. My guys would have my back no matter what, and her cruelty didn’t pack nearly the same punch when I was holding on to that knowledge.

“Cynthia,” my dad clipped. “That’s uncalled for.”

Mom pulled her robe tighter. “You haven’t been here. You don’t know what all she’s put me through.”

My dad pinched the bridge of his nose. “Did you stay with boys last night, Senna? Without informing your mother or me?”

I met his gaze dead–on. “You don’t answer my calls or texts, so how do you suggest I inform you?”

Chapter 66

“Don’t talk back to me. I am the parent here.”

“Then act like it! Or leave me the hell alone.” I was sick of this messed up excuse for a family. “You’re never here. Mom is falling apart and turning into someone I don’t even recognize. You didn’t even bother to call me on Lacey’s birthday. You don’t get to play the father one second and then disappear for weeks on end.”

Redness crept up my dad’s throat. “You’re right. You clearly need some stricter discipline. Give me your phone.”

“What?”

He held out his hand. “I said, give me your phone.”

“I need it.” It was my lifeline. If I didn’t call River and Anson, they would panic.

“You should’ve thought of that before you snuck out. Things are going to change around here. For now, you’re grounded. Go to your room. It’s that or we send you to that program your mother found in Montana.”

My throat tightened, but I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dropped it in my dad’s hand. My eyes burned. “Maybe you should consider that I’m telling the truth.”

His eyes flashed. “Your mother would never harm you in any way. She loves you.”
