I can almost understand why he wouldn't want to be the Alpha but that's just my own opinion, if we were going to be taking baby steps, it would help if we were more open.
"But I'm worried now, tell me what's going on." I prod softly.
He looks conflicted for a moment but acquiesces. "The only reason my dad arranged for me to come back from the city was because he found out I was an Alpha." He starts quietly and I dig my hands in his hair gently, offering comfort. "Five year old me was excited to go back home but he acted like I didn't exist which was even was than the rejection…" He trails off, taking a deep breath.
"I'm not mad at him I guess, it has long evolved to something more like not just caring about him. Sure, he lost his wife and mate but I lost my mom too, he never saw that… I'm going off track here." He cuts himself off closing his eyes, I wrap my arms around him for comfort.
