I choose him

Beau.

"You didn't tell me the whole truth," Fathers voice is loud and angry. What did Alby tell him?

He is standing in a frightening way, almost like he is threatening me. He doesn't know yet. If he did, he would have dragged me by my collars by now "What truth?" I act oblivious.

"Who is this man? Tell me now," he shouts. Has he comes to terms with the fact that it is a man? I raise a brow because I cannot tell. "Are you okay with my mate being a man?"

His eyes are red from the anger that I am somehow causing unintentionally "Don't play with me boy. I have no time for this," he warns me impatiently. I walk over to him in a, I mean no harm sorta way "Dad, you need to know that this is out of my control," I raise my hands up.

"I know that, so why are you hiding it?"

Because I am scared.

"Because you won't like what I say," I don't say what is on my mind. Father hates weakness. I don't want to show weakness in front of him. I don���t want to be weak.

"I am your father. I will always support you no matter what," he is being sincere. I've been a terrible son. Not caring about the consequences of my actions. He has tolerated me all my life, so I should give him the benefit of the doubt. I should trust him.

"Dad, it's bad," I show him liberated fear. My voice comes out shaking.

He is watching me, waiting for me to tell him what I fear the most. He has already lost his patient; his eyes are weary. "Who is he son?"

I take a deep breath. I have to do this. This is the right thing to do. Whatever the consequences are, I have to face it; head-on. "Alanis Dravon," I say his name even though I know he might not know him. I watch his expression as it changes from confusion to recognition. The sadness evolves; he is not happy.

"A vampire?"

I nod.

"It's not possible. There is a mistake somewhere. Alby confirmed this?" he asks incredulously. I went through this phase already; I am already over it. I don't care about anything but Lanis. So, whatever happens, I will fight head-on.

"It's not happening. I won't let it happen" he shakes his head and starts pacing around the room. I watch him unsure of what to say. He is the leader; he needs to come to terms with it on his own "What will people say? No one will let this happen. Fuck" he runs his hands through his hair. Father rarely curses.

"Dad, it'll be fine" he glares at me and I look away from him. "Come on, we need to pay Alby a visit" he walks out of the room and I follow him. We get to Alby's house and he turns to me "Don't say anything. This conversation is between elders" he warns me. Okay then, why am I here? Since I don't have an opinion on anything.

Alby opens the door before father even knocks, almost like he knew we were coming. He is dressed in a long black robe. His grey hair is neatly combed and gelled, making his wrinkles more obvious. Alby smiles as he welcomes me into his room. "Come in both of you" Alby is the only one that is not afraid of father in the pack.

We get to his living room and he urges us to sit down "Now that you know, we need to start preparations."

"I don't agree with this Alby. It is some sort of mistake"

Alby laughs a hearty laugh, that I almost want to smile. "The deities never make a mistake"

"Who is going to understand. He's my son. The next alpha. How do I explain that he likes boys and a vampire at that?"

"This is not about gender. We are all people before our gender. He is destined to be with a person; not a man" his explanation is moot. No matter how he puts it, people won't see what he is seeing. He is wise, that's why he can grasp this situation with so much clarity. "You have to give this your blessing. It is for the greater good of our kinds."

"The contention is enough; we are at peace together. This union doesn't need to happen to prove that. He doesn't need a mate."

My heart jolts. He can't be serious. He would rather I end up alone than let me be with Lanis. "Dad." I object.

"Don't you dare speak" he warns giving me a dirty look.

I cower in my seat and he faces Alby "He doesn't need a mate. He can lead without one" I don't agree to this. I need Lanis. I won't continue without him. I won't lead.

"You will be making a big mistake. Don't ruin your son's life out of fear. Let him explore this, give him a chance."

"He will look weak in front of everyone. I lost my wife to those monsters. I can't accept this for him. This is an unfair request."

I knew he would bring mother up. That's why he can't accept this; because of her and I understand. I completely understand.

"This is not about you and me. This is the bigger picture. You need to accept this."

"I can't accept this. I won't put my son through the pain of loving one of them. I am sorry Alby but as Alpha, my decision is final. Beau won't be mating with a vampire."

My heart shatters into a million pieces. I really didn't want this to happen because now I will have to choose. I already know my choice. I choose him, I won't let him go.

"Father, please don't do this to me" I plead desperately.

He looks at me sadly but I know his mind Is made up "I won't change my mind." and with that, he walks out of the house and out of sight. I hold the hems of my shirt from the ache in my chest.

"Give him time" Alby faces me.

"He's never going to approve of this," I tell him blatantly. I am dejected right now and the only person I want to talk to is Lanis.

"Give him time. He is your father; he won't let you suffer," he must know something that I don't.

"I choose him" I state matter of fact.

He frowns "It won't come to that. A wolf never abandons his pack. For anything" it is a warning but I don't care. I will mate with Lanis; no matter what anyone says.

He is mine.
