Chapter 75 Dad?
Chapter 75 Dad?
Bella’s pov.
“I want all of this to be decorated along with the front of the pack house, the field as well. We’ll have tents and chairs set up for everyone. Our theme will be black, white and gold. My daughter, the heir will be helping you all with decorating, she requested it herself so please be kind and help her to the best of your abilities. If you need anything at all, just mindlink me, I’ll respond right away. Decorate it how you would like, I honestly don’t have any preferences right now. It just has to be done by tonight as the ceremony is in the morning!” I rambled on, trying to make sure I didn’t forget to mention certain things, “oh! And make sure the stage is the most decorated as that’s where we’ll be saying our vows and such to each other. He’ll be in a black suit and I’ll be wearing a gold and black dress! Make sure the decorations help make our outfits stand out!”
I looked around one last time before nodding my head and walking away.
Deciding it’s probably time to call Brooke.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket, dialing the familiar number.
It rang for awhile… I almost thought she wouldn’t answer but her voice talked on the other side.
“Hello? Bella?”
“Hey. I want you to come to my pack, I have so many things to talk to you about. It has to happen in person, it’s too important to say over the phone, okay?” I said quickly, walking back towards the pack house, smiling at any members walking by me, “just get here soon.”
With that I hung up, not bothering for an answer. She’ll be here…
If she cared she’d be here.
‘John? Are you still with Megan? Send her out if you are, they are starting to decorate and I know how badly she wanted to help. They’ll help her and guide her with everything, you just have to bring her outside, okay?’ I mindlinked him, feeling his presence on the other side of the link.
‘Of course, babe. I’ll bring her down now!’ He quickly responded, making a smile pop onto my face.
He does that a lot actually. I’m always smiling when I’m with him or talking to him.
He truly makes me feel happy… genuinely happy.
My mind drifted to my parents, their carefree smiles and laughter rang through my head.
The way they loved each other so deeply… the way my father protected her with no questions asked.
The way he laid his life on the line to save her, to save me…
A tear rolled from my eye, I missed him so badly.
Almost as badly as I missed my mother.
I still remember the life leaving her wolf's eyes as she stared at me.
The hunter's sword went through her heart, instantly killing her.
She told me to run. But I waited, in hopes that she would’ve made it out alive… but she didn’t.
She died. Right in front of my eyes… I was only around sixteen, luckily I had Tundra to help guide me. Without her… I probably would’ve been dead too.
‘Alpha, there’s someone here named Brooke. She says she knows you,’ a warrior mindlinked me, catching me off guard. I didn’t realize she was going to show up so fast…
‘Let her in. Tell her I’m outside of the pack house,’ I replied before shutting the link down.
I stopped in front of the pack house, checking the time and noticing it was already half past three. We don’t have much time left before the morning and we still have a few packs to call since sending invitations to them would take too long to arrive. And we do not have the time to do that.
The door opened and I looked behind me at the sound of Megan’s laughter.
I smiled as I saw John and her walking hand in hand out of the pack house together.
“Hey, babes!” I said with a grin, grabbing Megan and hugging her tightly, “aunty Brooke is going to be here soon, would you like to see her before you go decorating?”
She scrunched her eyebrows together as she thought about it, nodding her head once.
“Okay. I’ll say hello… but I really want to go decorating! I’ve been waiting all morning!” She groaned, pouting at John who was staring directly at me.
I smiled at him, walking towards him slowly.
I placed my hand on his chest, leaning in and kissing him on the lips, savouring the way it felt and the way he tasted…
“Hi,” I mumbled as he pulled away, smiling even wider as he pulled me in again, kissing me a little rougher this time…
“Hi,” he chuckled, giving me a tight hug, inhaling my scent as he placed his nose in the crook of my neck, “I’m going to bring Megan over there and come back for you, okay? You’ll be waiting for me, right?”
I swallowed the lump in my throat as my belly flipped with butterflies, loving the way this man could make me feel.
“I’ll be waiting for you in my office…” I mumbled, giving him one last quick kiss before turning back towards Megan, who had a disgusted look on her face as she watched us.
“I’ll see you later, baby. Just listen to the pack members and let them help you, they’ll make sure you do everything right and still have some fun. Mommy and John will see you again later, I love you baby,” I said softly, kissing the top of her head as she started to walk away.
“Wait!” She said suddenly, turning back towards me with curiosity in her eyes, “can I… can I call John… dad?”
My eyes widened at her question, remembering her saying something like this not too long ago…
“Honey…” I went to say but John cut me off.
“Megan. You can call me whatever you’re comfortable with calling me. If that’s dad… I’d be honoured. And soon, after the mating ceremony between your mother and I, I would like to officially adopt you as my own child.”
