The Werewolf's Vampire Mate - Chapter 642 - Too Much To Handle

Chapter 642 – Too Much To Handle

Alanis

"You don't have to come back; it is not a big deal and I got it handled."

I can see the expression on his face and I already know that he isn't even listening to me. The stubborn man that I married is coming to play at this moment.

"What happened to him, let me see him?'' he demands. His tone is firm. He is upset right now but I know that it is not because of me.

"He is fine. He got into a fight at school,'' I tell him because that is all I know so far. I am still going to talk to him about it but I don't want to do it in a way where he will not want to tell me anything anymore.

"Let me talk to him,'' he urges me.

"I am in the kitchen right now.''

"Go to his room. I need to make sure that he is okay before I can let this go,'' he tells me, the worry etched in his voice. I get that he is upset and I think that it is such a cool thing. Beau is a good father. he loves his kids and that is what makes me admire him every day. 

"Don't use that tone with me,'' I glare at him because, at the end of the day, he can't just go all macho father on me and expect me to cower to his demands. 

I am watching him through the screen and even though I feel his worry, I can't have him panicking. 

"I am sorry baby, please can you take me to him?'' he asks and this time, his voice is calm. I watch him as he runs his hands through his hair with his free hand. He is outside and the wind seems to be blowing his hair to his face. 

"Okay, maybe he would talk to you.'' 

Beau is closer to Colin. Colin is his baby. There is just this special bond that they have. Colm on the other hand is for everyone. He is such a social butterfly that everyone loves him. 

I walk over to the room and before I enter, I hear Colin talking to him "You should tell papa. He is not going to be upset with you." 

I don't know what he could have possibly done but I just don't feel like it is that big a deal. they are kissed. He probably just had a fight with a friend. 

I open the door because I don't want to be eavesdropping on them. I want them to be able to talk to us. there is this thing that I never had. Knowing that I could always talk to father. I want things to be different with them. I want them to trust us. 

I know they do but I wish he would have at least told me what was wrong—I know there is something wrong. 

Colin looks up to me immediately and I can tell that he can sense Beau's presence "Is that dad?" he asks immediately, his eyes shining like a light. 

I smile "Yeah.''

He walks over to me and I crouch down to him "Hi daddy,'' he squeals into the phone, the excitement not hidden on his face. 

See, I didn't even get this kind of greeting. 

"Hey kiddo,'' I hear Beau's voice as he replies to his son. I walk away from them and to Colm. He is avoiding my eyes. 

"Come on, you should get that cleaned up,'' I tell him and he follows me into the bathroom. I grab the first aid kit from the cabinet drawer as I use a cloth to wipe the blood off. 

"Why do I have to clean it up when it will just disappear on its own?'' 

I look at him as I dress his wound "Because it will take a while and you know that. you shouldn't be having these kinds of injuries. You don't want people to notice." 

He looks away from me again "Because we are monsters?'' he asks which catches me off guard. 

I always knew that it would be a big risk taking them at such young age to a human school but I didn't want to keep them hidden and neither did Beau. most of the kids in the community have normal lives. it doesn't just begin and end in the pack. 

"Don't you ever call yourself that,'' I grab him by his chin so that he can look at me "You are not a monster?''

He tries to look away from me and I can see the tears as they well up in his eyes "Okay,'' he answers, his voice already shaking. Colm likes to act like he is all grown up but he is still a kid. 

The door to the bathroom opens and Colin walks into the room with the phone "Dad wants to talk to you,'' he pushes the phone to his face and I watch him as he takes it from him. 

"Hey son,'' my husband calls out softly. 

I watch Colm because it looks like he is about to burst into tears any moment from now. 

"Do you want to tell me what happened?'' he asks through the phone. I wait for him to open up, I wait for him to tell him because I know that he will. 

I know that he doesn't like to keep things. I know that this is eating him up and if there is anyone that can get him to open up. it is Beau. 

I listen to his confession and the anger that I thought I wouldn't have, resurfaces as I hear his story. 

As I hear the outrageous things that a friend—or rather a classmate told him. 

I listen and even though I have to be the parent in this situation, I can't help but feel sad at this moment. 

Sad that no matter how evolved we think the world is. there will always be people that would just bring it back faster than it moved forward.
