Chapter 130: Sister

Astrid's POV

"Why didn't you tell us that you're coming. If you had said something, we would have prepared ourselves to face you," Alpha Theron spoke with his broad shoulders slumped slightly.

Andros felt a surge of angry confusion, his brow furrowing as he realized the implication. "So you're saying that it was my fault then?" he accused, his voice laced with a bitterness he had never before directed at his father.

"If only I had told you I was coming, you could have prepared yourselves?" Andros repeated.

"I rushed back here because I was worried, because of those rumors I had heard," he spat, his eyes narrowing with a mixture of hurt and indignation. "Haven't you thought that this wouldn't happen if you had just told me about this before this rumors started growing?" Alpha Theron's expression softened. "Son, it was never our intention to blame you," he spoke, his voice low and soothing.

"You knew about the rumors, you knew what was happening. You had all the time you needed, you had all the opportunities to come out clean to us and yet you didn't. So don't lie to me by saying that you did not want things to end up like this because you made everything end up like this!"

And now, here I am, feeling like a home wrecker, caught up in a tangled web that is not of my own making. The irony wasn't lost to me - my whole life I was made to feel unworthy, yet I somehow managed to inflict that same pain on another.
