Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 15

*****Erika's POV*****

What was my father doing here?

I thought I had asked Jace to keep any visitors away from my room for the time being.

I didn't want any disturbance.

I pretended I was asleep, maybe if he knocked several times with no response, he would go and leave me be.

But the knock persisted. "Erika Blackwood, open this door right this instant!"

I was going to kill Jace. I swear by the Moon Goddess I was going to end him.

Just one little request and he couldn't successfully carry it out. I knew father was here to offer comfort but I was just not in the mood to answer questions or give explanations.

Having no choice, I sighed, climbed out of bed and went to open the door for him. Head bowed, I greeted my father. "Good day, Alpha." Until I was publicly announced as Alpha, he was still the Alpha.

He suddenly pulled me Into a hug, I fought tears from welling.

Father is hugging me?!

I put my arms around him, reveling in the warmth and parental affection he was dishing out. "hank you, father."

"For what?" He rubbed my back comfortingly.

"For this." I held him tighter.

Cindy also couldn't help it and purred in my head at the kiss my father gave me on my forehead.

I appreciated it greatly, even though I didn't want him to see my vulnerability "We needed this, Cindy"

"Yes, we did" Came her calm response.

"Now, tell me how it went." He pulled away from the hug and led me to the velvet sofa in my room.
