Chapter 39
He kissed her on the forehead and he just wanted to take her there and then, he loved her too much to do that to her so he decided to control himself and not push further than that. He wanted her to heal and wanted her to get ready for him that way the sex would be gentle and passionate. He stood up to leave, he had to check up on his dad too who was angry he needed to know if the man had woken up.
” I need to see father,” he said, drawing his face away from her.
“Ooh, come back quick” she said and winked at him
” You naughty girl, alright I will” he said and winked back

He went to his father’s room and found him still sleeping. He entered nevertheless, he needed his father to hear his apology and he knew that his father could hear whether or not he was sleeping.
” Father, I’m sorry about everything that has happened in the last couple of days, I know I allowed love to cloud my judgements but you know I would never do anything to hurt you” he said while holding his father’s hands
“Both Derrick and I love you sooo much, and it was not our intention for Nathan to get away but we needed him to leave immediately as Stephanie was already developing a panic attack because of herbpast with him” he said further.
” But Dad we promise to get a hold of him and make sure he pays for everything you did either legally or illegally” Derrick said as he entered the room, he had earlier seen his brother enter the room and decided to follow him inside it was better if both of them were talking to their father than for only him to be there.
Just then their father opened their eyes, it was the color of a wolf’s eyes, they knew he had just had one of his dreams so they smiled at him, he overheard everything they had said.
” It’s okay sons,” he said urging them to stand up
He stood up and gave them a hug, he had not hugged both of his sons in years so he felt really happy at that point, all the anger he had felt before just melted away at the time he hugged his sons.
Sophie immediately rushed to Stephanie, she was worried as to what would have made Stephanie faint.
“Steph, Steph, Steph wake up what’s wrong?” she screamed while tapping her to see if she would stand up. When there was no response she ran upstairs to call Audrey and Derrick.
“Audrey, Steph just fainted I don’t know what is wrong” she said as she dashed into Audrey’s room
They both ran downstairs to see her looking lifeless on the ground. They immediately called the pack doctor, who had been treating them for a long time.
He immediately arrived and was called. After checking her vital signs, he noticed that she was okay.
“She’s fine, her vital signs are okay, she is most likely just tired that is why she fainted” the doctor said, “just give her plenty water and fruits, and make sure she takes her vitamins” he further said.
” When will she wake up?” Audrey asked.
“Very soon, but for now allow her rest for now and remove everything you think might be stressing her” he said and left the brown residence
Sophie wondered why Stephanie would faint on seeing Nathan, she wondered how they knew each other, and what they had in their past that could make her faint.
“Why on Earth did you invite Nathan here without letting us know?” Derrick said, seething with anger.
“I’m sorry babe, I wanted to tell you, I invited him over when I needed answers to my questions but you already gave me the answers and I did not know how to turn him down ” she said with regrets in her eyes. ” But we are not sure yet if Nathan was the reason that Steph fainted,” she said with hope in her eyes. She hoped and silently prayed that they did not know each other.
“You should have told us first when you were inviting a stranger to our house,”Audrey said.
“Stranger?” “Y’all are denying that you don’t know Nathan now, this guy was our childhood friend guysss, I invited him over for some catching up and I thought you guys were interested in seeing him” Sophie said raising her voice at them, she could not believe that they were blaming her for Stephanie’s fainting, she only did what she thought was good for them and it hurt her that they could not appreciate it. Sonout of anger she picked her car key and ran out of the house, hoping to go for a drive that would clear her head.
After a while Stephanie woke up, she could not remember why she got there in the first place and why they were all gathering her.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“You fainted ” they all said simultaneously.
“What happened, what went wrong?” she asked.
“Is he still around?” She asked.
Audrey became confused. “Who is he?” he asked.
” The guy in the living room, his name is Nathan” she replied looking at all of them like she was scared of something.
“How did you know him, I was shocked to see him here”she answered them as she stood up from the bed and was trying to stand up
“He is our friend, we have been close from childhood, so when we heard he was in town we invited him over” they replied, not wanting to throw Sophie under the bus because she actually did it with pure intentions.
“Where do you think you are going?” They looked at her, and tried to put her back in the bed.
“See, I’m fine, I just want to use the toilet, you should send him out of your house by the way” she ordered.
“Wait what, we can not just send someone out like that we need to know how you know him and what made you faint when you saw him” Audrey said.
She suddenly started crying as she remembered all the trauma she had faced after Nathan had raped her, he denied it and made it look to the whole school as if she was the loose one. He had dainted her image and spoilt her reputation within the whole school, this made her leave Boston for New York. She only told Audrey about the rape but she never spoke about the real story with him and the main reason why she left her former school. She did not want to relive that moment in her life because it was one of her lowest moments in life, her sisters and mother were her only support system. They made sure they never abandoned her. She was not going to talk about it ever to anyone, she felt she had closed that chapter of her life. She immediately burst into tears and ordered them out of her room. It was only Mirabel and her that knew about her past and she was going to keep it that way.
