Arren was more emotional this time around after he returned with memories of his past life. Then, he had never seen his father again before he died in his alpha's arms, and if he had not escaped this time around, the same thing would only be repeated.
He didn't dare imagine how his father would react, and Arren was too afraid to ask Spade about what happened to his father when he left the world much earlier than him.
For all the things that he wasn't ready to hear, his father's situation was one of them. The reason was because he knew he might not take it easily.
And so, while he was in his father's arms, Arren embraced his father so tight as though he were back again in the cradle and needed his dad to coax him to sleep.
"I'm sorry," Arren sniffed. His tear gland had been overused in the past few days, but what could he do about it?
He needed to cry to vent the deepest emotions inside of him that had been buried for years.
