Dana Alepou’s POV
I ought to have identified that Silas Agnes was a wealthy individual. I imply, he drove Lamborghini final night time and right now it was a pink Ferrari. Who could be blind to say that he was poor? Not me then.
I used to be wanting on the entrance door earlier than we have been inside the home.
I used to be not in awe as a result of it was one thing that I used to proper now. Rising up, my father would all the time convey me right here and we’d play, me and Jay. It was one thing that we have now carried out earlier than and searching these recollections proper now on this lounge…
Wait a minute, I do know this home. Do not inform me it was….
“Ah, son. You’ve gotten come again and also you introduced…visitor?” I heard my lawyer’s voice that was coming from the opposite facet of the lounge. I turned to have a look at Mr. Agnes as I used to be stunned to see that he was right here and he referred to as Silas his son.
So, which means…
“Father, I’ve introduced my fiancée residence. That is Dana Alepou, my future spouse,” Silas mentioned as Mr. Agnes was me. He was shocked as I’d with him that having a son. Why do not I learn about this?
“How do you do?” I mentioned as I used to be enjoying as if I do not know Silas’ father. He nodded at me as if he was telling me that we are going to be speaking in personal later.
“Properly, have a seat and I’ll name your mom to satisfy your fiancée,” Mr. Agnes mentioned as I used to be sitting on the couch with Silas was holding my hand as I used to be smiling at him. Mr. Agnes was out of the room and I felt like the strain eased a bit.
“You do not inform me that your father was Mr. Simon Agnes,” I mentioned as I used to be Silas. He arched his eyebrow at me.
“What do you imply?”
“Properly, he is a giant deal within the regulation agency and I believe he was the lawyer for a giant firm,”
“Ah sure, the Alepou Commerce Inc. I believe was the identify,” Silas mentioned as he was kissing my knuckles earlier than the previous couple was coming inside the lounge. I stood up as I noticed Silas’ mom earlier than I used to be smiling at her.
“Ah, lastly. My prayer has been answered and you’re in entrance of me proper now,” the older girl mentioned as she was hugging me. It was awkward, nicely at the very least for me. I used to be smiling on the previous girl earlier than we took our seats.
“So, that is Dana, everybody. I’ve proposed to her final night time and luckily, she mentioned sure to me. I’m the luckiest man on the world proper now,” Silas mentioned as he was gripping my fingers. I noticed that Mr. Agnes was narrowing his eyes at me. I gulped as Silas was smiling proper now.
“Ah, the tea is right here. I hope you do not thoughts tea, expensive. It was calming for my husband,” Silas’ mum mentioned as I used to be nodding.
“It is effective. I like tea,” I mentioned as I used to be releasing my fingers from Silas’ fingers as I used to be wanting round. I took a deep breath earlier than I used to be serving tea.
“Right here, let me enable you,” I mentioned as I used to be taking the pot and I used to be pouring the tea and handing them over as I used to be smiling across the desk. We talked about me and what we deliberate to do after this. I used to be smiling however I do know that Mr. Agnes will likely be speaking with me eventually.
I do know why he was nervous. He is aware of about our household secret. His son was not.
“For those who do not thoughts, I needed to speak with my future daughter in regulation alone for a second. Would you thoughts, son?” Mr. Agnes requested as Silas was shaking his head.
“Positive, however keep in mind to return her to me, father,” Silas joked earlier than I used to be standing and Mr. Agnes was smiling at his son.
“After all, I haven’t got any intention to maintain her for myself. Your mom will kill me,” Mr. Agnes mentioned earlier than his spouse was slapping him playfully.
“Did he know?” He began the dialog as I used to be him. I do know what Mr. Agnes was attempting to ask. Did Silas know that I used to be a shifter?
“No,” I mentioned as he sighed deeply. Okay, I do not know if that was the very best or worst response that I can get from Mr. Agnes proper now. I believe I simply acquired by way of his protection that he all the time put up at any time when he was round us, me and Jay.
“Look, Dana, I do know that you just may assume that this was one thing to be laughing about however I do not need my son to be concerned together with your world,” Mr. Agnes mentioned as he was me. His hazel eyes have been gleaming as if he was nervous or one thing.
Like I’ll kill his son or one thing.
“Mr. Agnes, I do not assume you’ll assume that I’d—”
“No, in fact not. However I used to be afraid that Silas is not going to be sufficient for you if you happen to married somebody that was not—”
“Was not what, Mr. Agnes? Spit it out,” I mentioned impatiently earlier than he sighed. He shook his head earlier than he was me.
“Somebody that was not your caliber,” he mentioned as I used to be narrowing my eyes at him.
“What do you imply by that? What was that purported to imply? ‘Caliber’? You imply my mate?” I hissed at him earlier than he stepped again from me. I believe he was afraid of me as if I used to be my father’s daughter.
Properly, I am not like my father, utilizing concern for his soiled deeds.
“Look, Mr. Agnes, I respect you. I respect your loved ones however if you happen to assume I used to be not ok for Silas then I’ll ask him to name off the engagement,” I mentioned as I used to be Mr. Agnes earlier than he sighed in aid. Properly, I believe I’ve my reply then.
“What do you imply you need to name off the engagement?” Silas’ voice was filling the hallway as I used to be wanting within the course of that voice. Silas was me and his father as if I used to be doing one thing silly.
“Dana, what do you imply by that?” Silas requested me as he was coming to us. I used to be Mr. Agnes as he was pleading me along with his eyes. I sighed. I do know that Mr. Agnes didn’t need to be concerned with my household as he was the lawyer for our firm.
However not with the wedding within the household.
I sighed as I used to be straightening my again and I turned to have a look at my fiancé that I do know deep down was my true mate. However not that I ought to inform his father of Silas’ actual which means to me.
Even when it’ll make me go loopy with out him by my facet.
“Silas, I do not assume I can do that. You are loaded and I am…me. I can not do that, I am sorry,” I mentioned as I used to be pulling the ring and I put it in his hand. He was surprised earlier than I used to be operating down the corridor and went out of the home. I do not assume I needed to be right here now.
I used to be operating as much as the gates earlier than I used to be operating towards the forest. Fuck it! I’ll run within the forest in my actual type as if nothing can cease me now. If I can not have Silas, then I’ll die.
I used to be operating as if my life was relying on it and once I was on the middle of the forest, I used to be becoming my fox. She whined earlier than I used to be operating by way of the forest. I used to be crying however my eyes have been wanting straight round me.
I’ve to bear in mind as if my life will depend on me however as quickly as I lose focus, I used to be doomed. And I do not assume I can say that ‘I Love You’ to Silas anymore.
As a result of I used to be trapped and I can do nothing about it proper now. I used to be in a lure that was arrange by the hunter. It was a typical data that my species was being killed on the island to maintain our inhabitants small however proper now, with my coronary heart’s breaking, I’ve no will to dwell anymore.
Not with Silas will likely be married to another person aside from me.
