The atmosphere within the office was overwhelmingly tense. I stood awkwardly alongside Grace, unsure of what to say. She had to have detected the animosity from my father. She had to know he did not want her there. I had assumed the meeting would be to do with the wedding plans. That was the only thing he ever wanted to discuss with me of late. That or additional Alpha training he believed I needed because I was such a failure...
I shifted uncomfortably where I stood, unsure of what to say, when my father became the first to break the silence. "Grace, dear, I am sorry to seem so rude, but this discussion is more of a father and son type of chat, I am sure you know how it is?" My Dad spoke up, taking me by surprise with his warm, friendly tone, albeit a put on one, and I looked to him in surprise. But he continued. "So why you felt it was appropriate to come along I am not sure."
