The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 103

One step forward, and two steps back. That's how I'm feeling right now where Quinn is concerned. I shouldn't have gotten upset with her because she was trying to help, but I wish she would have come to me first. I know I've always questioned whether or not Holden is really mine even after paternity was verified, but it's already been a year and I love the little guy with everything I've got.

I never meant to make it sound like everything she has been going through is not as important as my personal matters. I wasn't thinking when I said what I said, but trying to get her to talk to me, so I can explain, is going to be hard.

Quinn is hard-headed and stubborn, which are a few of the reason why I love her, but it can be so frustrating when it's turned on me. I' ve tried calling her a few times this morning, but she continues to ignore my calls, so all I can do is give her time, I guess.
