Chapter 15 PARENTAL ADVICE
Sianna;s POV
Tuesday night
It was a little after nine when mom came home. She hustled through the door looking tired with a handful of files in her arms. To help, I jolted over to her and took the files out of her hands and went straight to our home office to leave them on the pine desk.
When I came back to the living room I figured that she would have already made it to the master bedroom. Thinking that she was going to take a shower, I timed another half an hour before I knocked on her room door.
"Come in, baby."
I opened the door and slide in with my nerves on a high. She was dressed in her olive - green silk mini night gown and was on the phone. She paused the conversation to hear what I sought her out for. "It's your dad on the phone. What is it, baby?"
My mom was very sweet and understanding. She held a compassionate and tender tone that made it easy to talk to her. I never lack attention and loved from my parents. They supported me and allowed me to express myself.
Growing up I could never lie to her. She used her tone with a persuasive element that would make anyone tell the truth. Her patients loved her and she was always summoned whenever there was a difficult patient. When it came to the top status people in our pack, my mom was the only doctor allowed to attend to them. So she knew the alpha very well, his stubbornness and nature.
sat on her bed and hugged her at the waist. She placed her free hand on the top of my head and rubbed me gently. I loved when she treated me like this as a child. "I need to talk to both you and dad."
"Your dad comes home tomorrow. Do you want to wait until then?"
I released her and shook my head in a childish way. "Could dad be on speaker? I don't want to delay this anymore." It was time to inform them about the big change that was about to happen.
"Our daughter needs to have dialogue with us." She explained and pressed the speaker button on her iphone. "We are listening." I knew many questions would follow so I was trying to figure out where to begin but instead I blurted out. "I found my mate days ago."
Mom's face lit up with the happiest smile and Dad chuckled, "That's great honey. Tell us about him."
"He is from this pack and you know him pretty well." I bit my nails anxiously. "So I am just going to say it." I took her and sat her down on the bed, then breathed out a long sigh. "It's Alpha Vance."
Shock replaced the smile that had lingered before. Dad spoke before mom could digest the news. "What, Sianna? Did you say Alpha Vance?"
"Yes, daddy. We realized at the café when he came in for a breakfast meal a few weeks ago.
"
"Didn't you plan to reject your mate?" The concern in his voice impatiently waited for my response. "Did you reject your Alpha? How did that go?"
Never say never was what sprung into my mind, having to eat my own words. A part of me fiddled with my fingers due to the anxiety lumping in my chest, and because my mom who was the pressure cooker in our family whenever I did anything wrong, had yet to speak.
"I rejected him but he refused to let me go. ............we went on one single date and then......." I removed the neckline that covered my mate's mark and mom gasped instantly.
"Who marked you, the Alpha or Curtis?" Mom knew of my predicament and wanted to be sure that her assumption was right. "Sianna is marked?" Dad exclaimed as he was not able to see the area of my skin that I showed mom. "Sweetheart, switch to video now!" Mom did as he said and an astonished father now stared at my mark.
"What is the situation now? Have you broken up with Curtis?" Dad acutely inquired with his full attention on me.
"Dad, I haven't spoken to Curtis since he left for the mating ceremony that I knew nothing about." I took my phone and got to the screenshot to show them both Curtis kissing his mate. "Do you see this? This is Curtis cheating on me with his mate. I will never forgive him."
Mom hugged me. Relief poured into me as I relaxed into her arms. "It's okay. I am not hurting. Being with Vance helps to soothe me." I was trying to convince myself rather than them. "I just wanted my parents to know because it's hard to keep Vance away from me. You know how Alpha's are possessive and obsessive with their mates."
"Honey, your father and I know that you loved Curtis deeply. You are hurting and it's healthy. Does Vance know about Curtis?" Her voice of reasoning always knew how to kick me in the stomach.
"Yes," I honestly said. "I told him to give me time."
"You need to move in with the Alpha now. As much as we will miss you, he will become too restless and aggressive if he feels neglected by you." Mom explained holding my chin to have my eyes on hers. "His wolf needs to feel your devotion to him."
I nodded and then dad commented, "Sianna, you must be clear on your relationship with the Alpha. If you are around Curtis, it will make Vance jealous and blood will be shed. Please be careful and stick to your mate."
"I will dad."
"Let's start packing your things tomorrow. I am sure Vance will be thrilled to have you move in immediately. It will reassure him that you are his."
My faltering smiled confirmed my doubts about moving this fast, and mom hugged me again.
"I am happy for you, pumpkin." Dad reiterated. He smiled in approval. "Alpha Vance is one of the best Alphas around. I am confident that he will take care of my little pumpkin."
I relaxed in the knowledge that my parents were now aware about Alpha Vance and me, so I didn't have to hide it anymore. It was right for them to be in the know just in case pack members started to realize our relationship and the gossiping bees buzzed throughout the pack.
Vance kept away unwillingly based on my request because I knew that he wouldn't be able to keep his hands off me. The public display of affection would be obvious. So to cope, he sent me messages often.
The other plan was not to tell Curtis who my mate was but I would tell him that my decision was to sever what we had so that we could both be with our mates. He was going to find that out when people started to spread the news.
"I am going to call Vance before he gets restless and show up on our porch." I kissed mom's cheek and left my parents talking to each other.
I know that I would be their main topic for the rest of the night. They would be expressing their concerns and thinking of the best way to help me through my sticky situation.
Going to my room I took out my phone and called Vance. It rang without an answer and I felt dejected that he didn't pick up. The mind-link was my next option but he wasn't receptive.
I laid in bed picturing him in his office inundated in paper work. I sent him a message that I missed him and that I was thinking about him. My mind darted to the memories of my first night with him and my pussy clenched as the slithering wetness oozed.
I positioned my head for an upside down view through the window to gaze at the moon and the pattern-forming stars that shone around it. The serenity of it gave me hope that I am going to be okay.
My Alpha, damn, I wanted him. Suddenly a bright bulb popped in my head and I smirked at the naughty idea that I had in mind. It started with me going into my draw and pulling out a white garter.
