Chapter 26: Fatherly Admissions

Ivy POV

Spending time with Talon had been more than amazing, but while the fun was coming to a close, I never expected that my father would text me asking to speak with me. I was hesitant after everything that had happened, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to face him after he hit me.

“Ivy, it will be okay.” Talon stated reassuringly, “I will be close. I won’t let him hurt you again.”

It was sweet that he was so willing to be protective over me. The moment we completed the mate bond, I could feel everything he did and knew that even though he was more on the aggressive side–he would do anything for me.

What I had not expected when we entered the house through the kitchen was to see Damian standing there with Hale and James. I wanted more than anything to wrap myself in their embrace and welcome them home, but I knew that I couldn’t do that because of Damian.

Damian didn’t know what I had with them.
