Axel’s POV
I knew my father would have a problem with me being mated to a man yet a small part of myself hoped he could look past it and accept me. Accept me for who I am because Hector was right, as my father he should be happy because I am. And I am happy, though once the bond to Vanessa is gone perhaps, I’ll start believing it myself. For now though I just had to get on with it. My father and I left Hector in the hospital, he wanted to be discharged but I managed to persuade him to stay just until the morning. My mother was being kept in the alpha suite and heavily guarded. She was his mate, so he didn’t want to have her put in the dungeons, so being as this was a magic free area thanks to a witch my father knew it was the next best thing.
