Chapter 105 Kai

• My head had not been right since leaving Lunar River. I hated that Bella would not consider all that I could offer. But it seemed she deemed herself trapped. Trapped to make a commitment to the Alpha there, and that commitment meant I would lose my fated. I had done my best since arriving back at River Ash to be there for my family as we made the final preparations for my Grandpa’s funeral. But as terrible as it sounds, my heart was not in it, and neither was my head. I was there in person but not in mind or soul.
• I had taken my Dad to one side, and explained my situation. He, understandably, was shocked, and I could see the pain he felt for me just by the look within his eyes. But, as much as I wanted him to be ready to throw everything down to fight for me... to go and get me my fated mate, he had smiled sadly at me, and told me I could not force a she-wolf to be with me if she did not want it. And as much as it hurt to admit, I knew that he was right.
• My Dad knew what he was talking about too. I know he knew that feeling, considering my own mother had refused their matebond at the beginning. But, luckily for my Dad, that had been through fear and the pain she had endured previously. She had been unable to resist the pull of the matebond in the end, or as my Dad liked to say, his charm, and the rest, as they say, was history.
