Unwanted

Chapter 74

"So, my pack will come in last?" Victor asked.

My father nodded, "Yes."

"Well, then I guess it's set. We attack next week." Victor stated before standing up to leave.

He gently grabbed Christine's hand before turning towards Hades and I. He gave us a warm smile before leaving.
As the door closed I glanced at my father. He was back to massaging his temples and closing his eyes. I felt as if I needed to help him, but I shoved that feeling away. Did he ever help me when I was hurt? No, he never did. It took me running away for him to figure out how sorry he was. If he even is that sorry.
I climbed off Hades' lap and motioned for him to follow. We turned to leave, having nothing to say to the man.
Once we were out of the office I relaxed. Hades gently kissed my head before leading me down the hall.
"We're staying here till tomorrow morning." He explained.
I nodded, "Alright."

To say I was rather uncomfortable sitting with this pack for dinner would be an understatement. I absolutely loathed it. The pack would just give Hades and I a curious look. My sister and Dylan smiled at us, but I didn't return it. Andrew would glare at us, but wouldn't try to do anything. I grinned, he learned his lesson the last time.
My mother wouldn't sit anywhere near my father, instead, she sat in her room. I frowned, my parents' relationship is falling apart and my mom isn't trying to fix it. I can tell my father doesn't have the energy to, he barely ate his dinner. He seemed paler than earlier and was barely staying upright. But again, I didn't help him. I refused to.

Once I was able to lay down and go to bed I sighed. Hades laid beside me with his arms wrapped around my body. He planted soft kisses along my neck, but didn't speak. I didn't need him to, I just needed to think.

"I wonder if my mom is gong to reject my father." I blurted out.

Hades sat up a little and frowned, "Why?"

"I can tell she hades him."

"He injured one of her pups, that is something that is deemed unforgivable to a mother."

"It's not unforgivable, it just takes time. He'll need to prove that he's sorry, to her. But for me...it may be unforgivable." I whispered.

Hades sighed and laid down again, "Well, after this whole thing with Elvira you won't have to see or speak to him again."

"That would be nice." I sighed, closing my eyes.
