'I did. I loved your mother. But my grief was because I thought I lost the love of my life.' Ryan let out a sigh. 'The truth is your mother has never loved me as much as Imelda does. I always thought it was my mistake, that I couldn't make her love me as much as I wanted.'
'I'm sorry, Father. I hope you find happiness with Ma Imelda.'
'Thank you, Son.'
Ryan shook his head. 'I might be more foolish than you as I looked at the outer appearance more than what was inside. I denied my heart because my eyes saw how pretty Vivian was.' He sighed. 'Your mother was the most beautiful she-wolf I had ever seen. I was young, and knowing I could have her as mine pushed my ego to claim her fast without thinking if she was truly my mate-bond or not.'
'I see …. But it's understandable, Father. Maybe if I were in your position, I would do the same.'
Ryan shook his head again. 'No, you are wiser than me.' He sighed. 'I think I owe you an apology.'
'For what?'
