“I am merely concerned about your father’s health,” he stated. I will not compel you to undertake actions against your will. I am willing to listen to whatever you desire. I implore you to grant me forgiveness.
I exhibit a smile. He is exceedingly adorable.
“I apologise, dear.” It is not your responsibility. I should refrain from becoming angry with you, as you have never wronged me. I apologise for my anger towards you, dear.
“I absolve you of all transgressions,” he stated. “Can you extend the same forgiveness to me?”
Affirmative, dear.
Jimmy positioned me on his chest and commenced stroking my hair.
“I wish for you to cease harbouring anger towards your father,” he commenced. I request that you pardon him.
He approaches once more. He desires my forgiveness for a demon disguised as a person. He was unfamiliar with him, which is why he is requesting my forgiveness. My father is devoid of compassion. He was indifferent to me. He only recalls having a daughter when he requires my assistance. I am advantageous to him now that I possess a wolf. How did he become aware of my wolf? I am confident that my mother will never disclose to him that I am accompanied by a wolf. Who informed him?
“Jimmy, you are unfamiliar with the individual in question, which is why you persist in urging me to forgive him. He is a demon, and I have no father akin to him.” “He is egocentric and engages only in actions that benefit himself,” I stated. I have no association with him.
“I acknowledge that his actions towards you were reprehensible, yet I urge you to extend forgiveness. ‘Please, find it in your heart to forgive your father,’ he implored.”
He will never comprehend my refusal to return. I wish to cease our disputes. I ought to feign forgiveness towards my father. I do not desire to be perceived as a poor companion.
“Very well, I absolve him,” I state with a smile.
“Indeed?” You absolve him!
“Indeed, let us return to the pack together.”
“Prior to departing for the pack, let us engage in an activity!” he proclaimed before pressing his lips on mine.
Jessica’s Perspective.
The trip home was notably silent, as I was absorbed in unsettling thoughts. Jimmy persistently squeezed my hand warmly, as if attempting to comfort me that all would be well.
I feigned a grin for him, however my heart was troubled. He would not comprehend. He remains unaware of my father and the extent of his duplicitous nature.
I recognise that this summons to return home entails more than merely assuming his role. Now, with Jimmy by my side, I must feign cordiality and simulate forgiveness towards Father. However, how can I genuinely be amiable to a man who has treated me atrociously? What if he devises another scheme? What if he attempts to inflict harm upon me or Jimmy again? These apprehensions incessantly disturb me, rendering me increasingly agitated as we approach home.
Shortly, we reached my pack. Everything remained same since my departure years prior. I encountered Rita the route to the Betta house; she is one of the wolves that harasses me within the pack.
“Ah, look who has arrived,” she derides, accompanied by her companions.
I disregard her. This is not my purpose for being here. I am not here to engage in conflict with the promiscuous member of the group.
“Ah, you have finally encountered your type,” Martha articulated. “You both complement each other.” I am pleased that the alpha king has dismissed you. Who, in their sound judgement, would accept a frail individual such as yourself? It appears you have chosen a partner of similar weakness.
I was seething with anger. I intend to terminate her life. I was on the verge of assaulting her when my companion restrained me.
“Why? Why do you refuse to permit me to instruct these individuals? I established a mental connection with him.
“Do not concern yourself with them,” he stated. “We are here for a significant purpose. Refrain from allowing them to incite you into conflict.”
“Oh!””I believed you intended to assault us,” Marina derided. I would relish the opportunity to provide some lessons to you, you feeble-minded girl. You are the disgrace of our group. Your companion withdraws from you. Your father renounces you. Your pack members disavow you as one of their own.
I disregarded them and proceeded towards the beta house with Jim. I rap on the door. My mother greeted us pleasantly and ushered us inside.
“It is a pleasure to see you again, my beloved daughter,” my mother remarked, embracing me.
“How are you, Mother? I reciprocate her maternal affection.
