WHO TREATS BETTER THAN WOLF

Felicia's P.O.V

Silence falls and no one speaks as his chest rises and falls in quick succession, air seeming to escape him as he kept his eyes on me.

"Afraid …" He repeats in a low croak. "You're afraid of me?"

I shake my head, opening my mouth to deny it but he beats me to it.

"You must be if you thought. … you really think I would cast you out?" He continues, a tear running down his cheek. "Is that how you see me?"

I shake my head quickly as I cover my mouth to silence the sobs that were escaping me. Tears flooded his eyes and were pooling out of them without control.

"Is that what all of you think of me?" He says looking around. "The k-kids? That I'd make you leave just like that!"

"Dad." I try as I stand but he raises a palm for me to stop. He stared at me as if he couldn't believe what was happening, as if it was all a mistake.
