All Chapters of Discovering the Wolf: Finding the Bond Mender: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

GeraldI wait patiently as Jeremiah brings my grandson Caleb into my office and seat him in front of me. He’s nervous and he’s avoiding my eyes. I’m so very disappointed in him and everything that I read in Jeremiah’s report, his mate Belinda is going to be devastated when she finds out what has happened.What he has covered up.Jeremiah closes the door and turns on the soundproofing seal to the room; I don’t want anyone else hearing this conversation.“What’s going on Pops?” Caleb asks, looking behind him at Jeremiah who stands leaning against the door, his arms crossed, guarding the only exit.I don’t answer him, just stare him down. “Do you have something to tell me Caleb?”“W...What do you mean?” He stammers, his nerves getting the better of him. I’m not going to let him off that easy and neither is Jeremiah, not with what he discovered.He should know better.He should have come to me.“You have one chance to be honest with me, and I will help you, but if you lie to me there will

ZaleI haven’t slept.It’s only been a week of having her with me, in my bed every night, being able to hold her and sleep beside her, and now I can’t relax without her here. I wonder if she had the same issue last night? Probably not as Anders reported that she was getting really drunk and ranting about me all night. She probably passed out and had the best sleep of her life while I lay here pining for her.She’s still pissed and hasn’t linked or called or texted me since she stormed out.I know I’m meant to give her the space to calm down and process but I’m not sure how much longer I can stand her silence. I check my phone again for what feels like the millionth.Nothing.Maybe she’s not up yet. It’s only seven am, still early if she’s been up all night drinking and cursing my name. She probably has a killer hangover to go with her hating on me for constantly forgetting to tell about the pact.I head to my home gym, put my earphones on and start pounding my frustration out on the tr

Servers are walking around the room with wine and champagne glasses and canapés. Finn grabs a champagne glass for each of us and then leads me over to where his patrol partner Gregory and his wife Jennifer are standing. We get comfortable catching up with each other, I normally hang out with Jennifer at these events, she’s fun and unpretentious so we get on famously. I see that dark head in my periphery a few times, but it disappears every time I turn to look.Jennifer is sharing the latest photos of her kids with me when that mouthwatering hint of caramel and citrus hits my nose again and I attempt to casually glance around the room before they disappear again. I finally see the back of that dark head; it’s moving across the room. I know the back of that head.Is that Zale?No.I’m imagining it, he can’t be here.Surely there must be other extremely tall, well-built men in the city.There are so many people moving around the room, in between us that I think I’m now starting to see him

“What are you hoping to gain from being here tonight?” Alpha Henry asks me, stepping into my sight, blocking my view of Willow. I shift to the left to keep my eyes on her, keeping my temper under control at his interference, he is a council member after all.“I want to talk to her, introduce myself.” I state plainly. It’s the truth. I want to meet my child.“And if she doesn’t want to talk to you? Your petition as not been approved yet, and we have only received a confirmation that she has seen the petition and that a full response is pending.” Henry challenges. I know that Ryker will do everything he can to keep her from me, but I am her father and once I have proof there will be nothing that he can do. He can’t keep me from my child, from our destiny.“She’s my daughter, she will want to talk to me.” I reply, blandly.He smirks at me highly entertained by my response and shakes his head. “Hmm, you don’t have any other children do you Theron? I have five. They tend to do the opposite

“Yes let’s.” I pull the cuff of my suit down over my cast and walk beside Zale as he makes his way back to Where Theron and his companion are standing. The other man, Henry looks highly amused which makes me frown. He’s meant to be a Wolfen councilman and this situation he’s created by bringing Theron here tonight, is in no way funny.“Councilman Pennington, I was not made aware of you and your guests visit to my business district. To what do I owe this...unannounced visit.” Zale states, his hand automatically out to shake the councilman’s. He’s very careful about his phrasing with so many humans around but I get the gist and so does Henry. What the hell is he doing here and why didn’t he tell Zale he and Theron where coming. I also get the sense that there is a protocol that has been missed here too.“My apologies Zale, the trip was rather...last minute... and within the eight-hour exemption for business event attendance. I and my guest have a midnight flight back to our respective di
