Novel & Cerita I'll Take Her Like A Father

"Tell me, daughter!" I took a deep breath, trying to steady my voice as I spoke. “He’s been defending her, protecting her, even though she’s nothing but a threat to us. He’s completely blinded by whatever hold she has over him. And it’s not just that, Father. He—he looks at her like she’s the only one who matters. Like I’m invisible.”

“But I’ve learned that fear isn’t the enemy. It’s what keeps me sharp. Keeps you safe.” She leans her head back against my shoulder. “You sound like your grandfather.” “I take that as an insult.” She laughs softly. “I meant it as a compliment.” I tilt my head, pressing a kiss to her temple. “Grandpa is a great man. Ruthless, but great. I’ll be both. Just… better.” She turns to look at me. “You already are.” “I’ll give them everything,” I murmur. “Everything my father didn’t give me.”

Then get on over and talk to me. I stood frozen, exhaled before addressing him, "Do you think I'd call you 'father'? Look, whatever your past is with her, know for a fact that if there's a choice to be made between her and anything else or anyone else in this world, she's the one. I'd give my heart and life in a heartbeat for her."

She pleaded looking at him with those sad f*cking eyes. "He's anything but f*cking innocent." He growled and without thinking much she grabbed his face. His eyes widened slightly when she pulled him closer. "Take me. Hurt me. Beat me. Do anything you want. Just take me in his place. I won't fight you. I won't complain. Please, I'll do anything, take me in his place. Let him go. Please, Aiden. Don't hurt my father." He watched as she broke into sobs in his arms begging him to take her in place of her father.

It was bad enough with her parents. "I will take her," Viper stated simply.

“First, you will be the best father ever, if you had seen you with her this morning, you would have understood,” He looks unsure, so I put my hand on his. “Second, you are the leader of an entire pack, I don’t think you’re too young to be a parent.” He lets out a small nervous chuckle. “And lastly, do you think I would let you do that by yourself? We’re a team now, we’re one. Plus, I adore her, and it would be my pleasure to be her parent with you.” He exhales, pulling me into a hug.

I won't waste a single moment of it. I remember my own father - or lack of one. How I used to wonder what it would feel like to have someone choose me, want me, fight for me. Now I know. It feels like Lily's arms around my neck and her sleepy voice asking me to check for monsters. It feels like being needed, being loved unconditionally. Tom gave her life, but I get to give her everything else. I get to be the daddy she deserves. I won't let her down. Not ever.

“By keeping you away from the… ugliness of it all. I won’t let it swallow you.” “You can’t.” “I can. I’ll take you away from all of this. You still have a chance.” She starts to shake as if she’s holding in a scream. “You aren’t listening! You don’t hear me.” She goes quiet for a while, her body trembling, hands curled into tight little fists. Then she sighs, and all the fight leaves her. “You’re just like him really.” “Who?” “My father. He didn’t listen either.”

He stops right in front of me and place his hands in my shudder. “I always at this that you are just like your father. You are fearless and vicious like him. Humble to the core and never in the mood to see anyone being oppress or being tested wrongly. I remember the good old days with your father.” He adds and smiles. Athe menton if me being like my father, he ruined my whole ‘mood. If therenisoke thud I meger want to hear, it is this. I never want anyone take ay I am just like my father, because trust me I am not if like that cruel man.
