The Two Alphas (Editing)

Part 65

Valerie and the rest were left befuddled and confounded. No one knew who Mark is and what does Cayden saw in Scarlett's memories. But no one dared went behind him. Even Valerie did not bother to go behind him because she was still mad at him for asking for Kevin to become the scapegoat. She just sighed and left for her office.

When she reached her office she sat down on her chair and felt a sense of tiredness taking her over. "I wish you were here Dad with me to guide me, to give me advice. I miss you, dad. A lone tear left her left eye and she mumbled to herself. "Sometimes I feel that I am the least important person for my mate. I wonder whether he loves me or he loves the idea of having a mate. What should I do dad?" She looked up towards the ceiling as if her questions will be answered by some divine voice.

"No women should feel that way especially someone like you."

Valerie got startled. She looked ahead and found Dmitri and Alexei standing there at the threshold of her office.

"We are sorry that we were not there for you, we are not there for you." Dmitri said while entering the office and taking a seat followed by Alexei. "We promised your dad that we will take care of you and we will do everything in our power so that you do not miss him. But I think we have failed you and we have failed your father." Dmitri continued. "But let us rectify that mistake; by being always there for you. Whatever is the thing that is bothering you, tell us everything. Don't leave anything out."

Valerie looked towards Alexei and he understood. "Don't worry my feelings for you won't cloud my judgement" And so Valerie told them all her doubts and her fears.

"I think you should talk to him, tell him all your doubts. Ask him what he thinks about this relationship, what he thing about you. Communicate with him. Tell him your fears and listen to his. It is high time to act civil and mature, not like a bunch of teenagers." Dmitri said and Alexei nodded his head for confirmation when Valerie looked towards him.

"Do it." Alexei mouthed.

On the other hand, Cayden was pacing in his office. He was thinking about Scarlet and all that he saw. He was also thinking about the fact that how easily he asked Valerie to sacrifice his brother for his guilt and for Scarlett. He knew he was acting like a three-year-old child and he has disappointed Valerie at every turn. 

He suddenly stopped in his tracks and a look of horror was visible on his face. What if Valerie decided to reject him, he thought. What he asked her in the spur of the moment could destroy his already weakened relationship. He ran a frustrated hand in his hair and punched the wall causing a hole in it.

"Son" He looked back to saw his father and former alpha standing. Jack was very disappointed in his son when he heard from Ryder what Cayden had suggested regarding Kevin to Valerie.

"Dad! What are you doing here?" Cayden asked.

"I came to ask you one thing but by the look of that hole, I think you are already repenting what you did. Cayden, son, what on earth possessed you to ask Valerie to give her brother away for the cure?"

"Dad, I can explain." He said

"No son, I don't need your explanations. This time I will ask questions and you will answer them." Cayden was shushed by Jack.

"Do you even love Valerie?" Jack asked.

"What kind of question is that dad, of course, I love her, more than anything."
