I Am The Luna

76. A Father’s Feeling

SEBASTIAN.

The sound of my beating heart thumping loudly in my ears is all I can hear as his words ring in my mind. I am not his son? How is that even possible?

I look more like him than Mom… Even if I don’t want to admit it; it is the truth. “What do you mean I am not your son?” I ask quietly, yet my shock bleeds into my voice. “He didn’t mean that, Sebastian. Aran please, don’t do this,” Mom pleads, hurt clear in her eyes.

“No! Why shouldn’t I? His arrogance and his attitude are not something I will tolerate. Not anymore.” Dad says coldly. “Now you have the truth! I don’t want a useless man who-”

“I am an Alpha. Whether you want to admit it or not, you know I hold an alpha’s aura. Who is my father, then?” I ask sharply. Mom grabs hold of my sleeve.” Sebastian, your father is your father-”

“I mean my biological father, Mom,” I growl, trying to control my anger. Why the lies? I am in my thirties and now he decides to tell me that? Mom decides to tell me this crap now? Now when I don’t fucking need to know?

“We don’t know.” Dad snarls. “For all we know, it could be a lowly omega!” Mom frowns, her heart thundering as she looks between us. But I can see the disappointment in her eyes when she looks at Dad spewing his crap.

“He is our son, Aran. We had a sperm donor because you couldn’t conceive! How dare you say he is not ours!” She snaps. “He is not! His arrogance, his attitude and even his face anger me!” He snarls.

“Aran, enough!” I run my hand down my face, turning away from them and their arguing. So, I’m not alpha-born? But then why is my aura more powerful than anyone I have met and I am not bigging myself up…

“Who is my father, then?” I snarl, turning back to them, my eyes blazing silver. They fall silent as Mom sighs. “We used … a sperm donor and had you via IVF because we were having issues conceiving and your father wanted an heir. So we decided it was the best we could do.” Mom continues.
