"When?",
I asked to be quite sure he got together with him after mom's death.
I won't forgive Father if it turned out to be that he cheated on mom before her untimely death.
"A moon ago", the elder says, "we've been friends for long, it's true, but we just got together a moon ago when another Mark aside from the one we already had appeared on our body".
A moon ago?
That was after I found my own mates.
"Another Mark?", I blink at them in question, "what do you mean by that?".
Father removed the upper wrapper on his body, "this is it", he showed me a snake mark near the helper's mark of mother.
"I saw this on my body two days after he left, and it wasn't until he came for another visit that we discovered we're second chances mates", Father said in explanation.
" I lost my own half soul the year after we got together", the elder explained.
I look at him and back at Father for a long time, the elder started fidgeting.
" Son say something, your silence is quite unnerving", Father looked at the elder with a concerned look, " you're making him nervous".
I smiled, "congratulations Father", I walked over to give him a hug, "am glad the gods decided to give you another chance", I hugged him.
At long last, I've met someone in the same predicament as I and my mates.
The elder smiled happily, "glad you're in support of us".
"Don't you dare think to hurt my father, else you will answer to my fist", I said with a narrowed look at him.
" You don't have to worry about that love", he says with a smile.
" Son I will like to keep this a secret, you know how taboo a relationship this one is", Father says with a serious look on his face.
I nod, " you don't have to worry about that, I will surely Keep it secret".
Keeping of things like this secret isn't difficult for me. Am good at those kind of things.
" Where is my prince?", the elder asked with a panicked expression.
Lying in my bed probably waiting for my return.
I smiled, "he's in his room, you don't have to worry about him looking for you".
He breathes out a sigh of relive, " thank the dark, I don't know how to explain my absence of he's to ask".
" You can tell him you were with your mate", I said with a wink.
He blushed red, " as much as I would have been happy to introduce your father as my mate, I can't risk his life for something as selfish as this".
I don't think Reddy will mind knowing you're dating my father, if anything he will be glad to have someone of the same specie as him, in the same predicament as he's in.
"I will take my leave now. Don't do what I won't do", I said with a wink directed at the vampire before I finally took my leave.
