“Dad?” I heard Irene saying as she approached.
It was 9:30 now.
When I looked at her, I saw that her eyes were puffy, and her bottom lip was quivering. I stood from my seat and walked towards her. She had her luggage in hand, and Matt was standing behind her with his own luggage.
Whoever hurt her my little girl was going to die.
“What happened?” I asked her as she wrapped herself in my arms, moisture from her tears soaking into my shirt.
“Can we talk on the way to the resort,” she sniffled.
I nodded, reeling in my temper.
Matt smiled at me as I rubbed his hair with my hand.
“Do I get to see Judy in action?” He asked, his eyes filled with excitement.
I chuckled.
“Yes,” I told him.
He fist-pumped in the air, excitement consuming him. He went on and on about how he’s been watching her on TV through the streaming service and he’s excited to see it in person.
The entire time, Irene was lost in thought, staring out the window as we drove towards the resort.
“So, tell me what’s going on?” I asked after a long wait, and once Matt finally started to drift off to sleep in the backseat. I was trying to keep myself calm, but my worry and frustrations were evident.
“My engagement ended,” she whispered.
“What?” I asked, my fists clenched around the steering wheel, my knuckles growing white.
The last thing I expected was for her to say that; she was head over heels in love with Ethan. I still remember when they met and I refused to let her date him, she was devasted and threatened her own life. I had no choice but to let her be with him despite my own dislike of the guy.
I could see right through him; he only wanted the title of Alpha for the Redmoon pack and he thought if he got close to my daughter, he would get close to me. I deal with guys like that all the time; I mean, he cheated on his own fated mate with my daughter so he could become an Alpha. The only reason I allowed him to date Irene was because she threatened her own life. I couldn’t let anything happen to my daughter.
“He was using me,” she continued as tears spilled down her cheeks. “He cheated on me… or he’s been cheating on me.”
