think Gage would have loved to see you in it.”
    “He should be the one seeing me in it.” I agree solemnly.
    Brock nods in agreement as we continue our walk to the dining room in silence.
    “ This is going to be tense.” He mutters in my mind as we open the door and walk into the room where London and his entire pack were sitting with my father’s pack.
    “You have no idea.” I mumble in his mind.
    Standing to his feet my father clears his throat bringing everyone’s attention to him, before he motions towards Brock and me. “My daughter, Parker, and her second, Brock, have arrived.” He spits out Brock’s name like a curse.
    He was angry with my choice of making Brock my second but I wasn’t about to change that now.
    Not when Brock was the only one I could trust.
    Walking over to the table London stands before quickly pulling out a chair next to him for me.
    I sit next to him as Brock sits down in the seat directly beside the seat next to me.
    Oddly it was comforting to have him so close.
    Nothing else is said as dinner is served and we all eat in a silence that had my inner wolf tense and ready to run out of the room at a moment’s notice.
    When everyone is finished eating my father stands to his feet again commanding everyone’s attention towards him.
    “Crap, here it comes.” I whimper into Brock’s mind.
    He nods beside me as he pats my knee under the table.
    “Don’t forget, I’m here. You can make it through this.” He reassures me in my mind.
    I nod even though I wasn’t sure if I could make it through this whole ordeal even with him by my side.
    Sooner or later I was going to have to face this alone.
    My hands shake and my stomach tosses and turns as my father clears his throat.
    Everyone goes silent.
    “I have an announcement to make.” He then motions for me to stand up. “My daughter will be joining the Redwood pack this night. I have chosen a mate for her.” He then motions towards London and he stands with a smug grin.
    “Thank you, Rixon.” London begins as he wraps his arm possessively around my waist. “I am proud to take your daughter as my mate and I am thankful for your generosity to have my family here for the ceremony.”
    Pulling out of London’s grip I pin my father with a glare. “I won’t mate with him, father.”
    His eyes narrow on me as he stands to his feet. “You will, Parker.”
    “No, I won’t.” I shake my head. “I want Gage. I was going to tell you that tonight.”
    Slamming his fist on the table my father’s wolf begins to show as he lets out a loud snarl. “Forget about the pup, you will mate with London, he is the best wolf and Alpha for you.”
    I go to open my mouth to argue some more, but his fist comes down against the table once more in a thundering crack putting an abrupt end to my argument.
    “You will do what I say, Parker. That is final.” He growls out.
    Bowing my head I surrender and sit back down in my seat.
    Brock slips his hand into mine under the table for support as London places his hand roughly on my thigh.
    The wolf inside of me was crying.
    And I was dying on the outside.

10-Barely There

     
     
     
     
     
    “ I can’t do this with him, Brock, I just can’t.” I state as I pace back-and-forth in my room while he sits on my bed. “Maybe I could have done this before when I thought he was nice and all but I can’t, not now that I’ve fallen for Gage.”
    “How will we get away when the whole place is crawling with his pack just waiting for you to try something?” Brock questions with a raised brow.
    Sadly, I didn’t have the answer to that.
    “Where would we even go, Parker?” He questions next.
    I did have an answer for that question though.
    “We would run to Derek. He would protect us.” I answer in his mind.
    “But still how do we get away…” Brock trails off as a loud knock on my door interrupts our conversation.
    He gives me a worried look before walking over to the door, opening it allowing whoever
