Chapter 85

Bryan's POV

In my life, many things went wrong. I don't know when or how that happened. It just happened. I was too greedy. I tried to have it all and, in the end, I lost it all. I was being punished for my deeds. I should only focus on my family and nothing else. I don't know what came over me. I really loved Maya. We had our problems and could have solved them. If only I hadn't run from those problems and fell for Sandra's seduction.

I have got only myself to blame, and I do not blame my daughter for hating me. She is the one who got hurt the most by this. I destroyed her life and family. I didn't think about it then. No, thanks to me, she has once again found happiness. It's just a shame that I am not a part of that happiness. It's just a price that I have to pay. I was so glad when she came to me. Even though it was not a visit. Still, I was happy that she sought me out to help her.

I wanted to do just that even though it might cost me my life. I owe her that much. There isn't anything that I can do, but I will try my best to make sure Sandra doesn't harm my little girl. Our relationship isn't so great right now, but I hope in the future, she and I will be able to overcome our differences, and she will once again see me as her father. There is nothing that I would want more than that.

For now, I know that the best thing I can do for her is help her realize that this is not only her fight. She can't do it alone even if she wants to. So the decision I took to call him here was the right one. If she doesn't listen to me, then I am sure she'll listen to her mate. I still can't believe that she is mated. I didn't think of it since it was established from her birth that she had no traits of becoming a werewolf.

I thought that it was okay for her to be human. She had a shot at a normal life. I never thought she would be mated, but I guess that is not a bad thing. She seemed to be happy with that boy. He loves her too. I could see it in his eyes. That's all I want from her. Then there is still the matter that I didn't tell Maya about this. She'll definitely have my head for this. I was tempted one too many times to just pick up the phone and make the call, but I could betray Brielle even if it meant that I would have the heart for it. It was the least fatherly thing I could do for her.

Blake was in the house, and hopefully he'd be able to get through to her. I left them in the kitchen to talk. I know right now Brielle is still pissed about me locking her up earlier, but I knew damn well that she was going to run the moment she got a chance and that would risk me losing her forever. Now that I have managed to bring Blake, everything will be fine.

It's been a while since I let them in the kitchen, and it has been awfully quiet. I had better go check on them. I walked out of my room and down the stairs. As I was approaching the kitchen, I heard the sound of kissing and moaning. I stopped midway. Gosh. Just tell me that my ears are deceiving me. This can't be happening. The last thing a father would want to see is his daughter getting tounged down by some guy. I really don't want to see that.

I was about to turn back, but I would be damned if I just walked away. That's my kitchen they were getting hands on. If I leave, who knows what they might do in there? Jeez, I don't even want to imagine that. I walked over there, and I saw what was happening. Brielle was on the counter with Blake standing between her legs as they kissed passionately. They were so into it, they were handy to notice me still.

I cleared my thoughts. It took a second for them to spot me. They quickly pulled away from each other. Thank God for me because I have already seen and heard more than enough. Both of them looked flustered and out of breath as they tried to smooth out their clothes. Well, I guess my little girl is grown up. The only boy I have ever seen was Antony. I never paid too much attention to them, but the way they were, I knew nothing could ever happen to them.

" Dad, were just-" Brielle began, but I cut her off.

" Nope. I saw what I saw and there was no need to get into it. I'm sure your mom must have already had the talk with you, and you know what you are doing. Just don't do it in the kitchen."

I'm wondering if Maya actually had the sex talk with Brielle. As a man, it's kind of difficult raising a daughter because you wouldn't be able to understand them better than a woman or a mother. But that isn't always a dead end. You can learn more about them and how to raise them better. Single dads do it. I've always left things about Brielle to Maya as her mother, naturally. I wasn't the greatest father.

I wouldn't be able to know where or how to begin with the talk, so I hope Maya covered that part.

" I'm sorry Mr Johnson. I didn't mean for you to see that. It's my fault. I got-"

" It's fine kid. Just call me Bryan. And you are right. That's not the kind of shit I want to see while you are around, so I'll cut this reunion short. It's time for bed. Brielle can go to her room, and you are coming with me. I don't want any fun business in my house. Wrap this up and come to my room."

I walked out of the kitchen, heading to my room. If that kid takes a long time to follow me, I will come back and drag him by the ear, and then he will go to the porch for the rest of the night. So he had better be careful. I went to a cold bed as always. I guess I deserve it. What would I give to get my life? To turn back the time to the moment that everything was fine. But I know that no matter how much I wish for that, Maya truly deserves better. Even if that breaks me apart to pieces. But she, too, went through the same thing. I don't know about her personal life at the moment. I'm too afraid to find out, but if she has anyone in her life, I will wish her well.

The last time I went to her house, she didn't even want to see me or talk. I respected that and didn't force anything. I hope she and I get to talk and talk things out. Even though things might never go back to the way they were, I would at least love for Brielle, Maya and I to reconcile. We need that and I need it. Five minutes went by, and I was about to get into bed after throwing a pillow and a blanket on the floor.

Someone knocked on the door.

" Come on in," I said, and the door opened. Blake came in.

He was standing awkwardly by the door looking around the room. Well, this is awkward. I have never had anyone in my room except for two women and Brielle.

" Are you going to stand there all night or are you going to sleep?"

" I'm sleeping on the floor?" he asks, looking at the blanket and pillow.

" Yeah. There is only one bed in this room or would you rather sleep beside me?"

" No, no. Its cool. I'll take the floor."

He scurries, taking off his shoes and lying on the floor. It was kind of fun. He kept tossing and turning. I bet it must have been uncomfortable. He is the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. He has everything he could ever want. Sleeping on the floor must be a humbling moment. He might be Alpha and all, but since he is with my daughter, his rank holds no weight. I'm his father-in-law. It wouldn't hurt to pull his leg a little.

I could have sent him off to the guestroom, but I knew that he would just end up in Brielle's room, which was not going to happen. He's just going to have to indure the floor for tonight.

" Good night, Blake."

" Good night, Mr- uh right, Bryan. Good night."

I smiled to myself. Blake is good for my daughter. Besides being who he is, he was never once rude or arrogant to me. I like him. It puts me at peace to know that she had him.
