Chapter Ninety-Five: The Alpha’s Daughter
“I didn’t want to lose you. I’m sorry.” Charity said, her own eyes tearing up and her nose turning red like it always did when she was trying not to cry. “I didn’t want to lose you and I was scared you would treat me differently because of who I am… What I am.”
“Charity.” I sobbed. How could she ever think that I would treat her any different? She was still Charity Dumond to me. She was still my best friend and knowing she was a wolf didn’t change that.
“Tillie, I’ve never had anyone treat me like you do. Like I’m just a normal college student. Like nothing is expected of me. I’ve never had a friend who didn’t want something from me, some favor or a good word to my dad. But you’ve always just treated me normal, like a sister and I didn’t want to lose that. I didn’t was to lose you.” She sobbed.
“T, I’m still upset with you,” I said, dragging my hands over my face as I sucked in a stuttering breath. “But I’ll never stop being your person. Your best friend, just like you, will always be my person. Well, I guess I should say my wolf. I’m not going anywhere.”
Charity rushed into the hallway, she was so fast that I hadn’t even seen her move. Her arms were around me, pulling me into a hug that made my bones rub together. Her face pressed against my hair and I felt warm tears soak into my shirt. “I love you, Til.”
I dropped my heels, letting them clatter to the floor before wrapping my arms around my best friend. Breathing in the comforting, soft, fruity scent of her perfume. “I love you too, but Char. No more secrets.
The two of us stood in the hallway, crying and hugging and I knew that our friendship would get past this. That we would be okay.
“No more secrets, I promise. But there is something that I need to tell you,” She said, pulling back to look at me.
*Please don’t say that you are my mate. I don’t think I could handle a fourth mate.” I chuckled.
“What? No, wait, what? You’ve got three mates?” she asked, pulling back to look at me.
“Yeah, last night was a really weird night for me,” I said, pushing my hair away from my face as I looked down at her. “Let’s head inside and I’ll tell you all about it. What did you need to tell me?”
Charity worried her lower lip, stepping away from me. I could tell that she was worried about what she was about to tell me but if it was something big, this was the time to do it. “I’m the alpha’s daughter.”
“Strange. You don’t look old enough to be Jason’s daughter.”
“Wait, you’re mated to an alpha?” She asked.
