Chapter 24: Am I a Waste of Time?
(TYLER)
Sasha must have noticed how uneasy I am. "It will work." He rumbles. "And we will all be fine, trust me." "I wouldn’t have dragged Tyler here if I thought it wouldn’t work. What else would be the reason to go through with all this nonsense?"
"I’m ready to step into Father’s shoes. This is what I’ve been trained to do my entire life. Everything will be fine once we finalize the wedding. You need to trust me to handle this." He says with a proud tilt of his head.
"Yes." Lucia nods. She has to agree with her son because if she doesn’t, who ever will?
"I don’t envy you," Jericho says with a wry grin on his face.
Sasha shifts slightly and then turns his attention to me. "We can go see Father now if you’re done eating."
"He isn’t done yet, let him eat, he needs to build some muscle," Lucia says, glancing at my half-full plate. If only Sasha knew how nerve-wracking the thought of meeting his father is, he wouldn’t have brought it up. Especially now. He wouldn’t have given me time to settle in, perhaps then, I’d know what I’m walking into.
"N...no, really. I’m fine." I lie, rising up and straightening my t-shirt to make sure it doesn’t cup my belly. I doubt if they know I’m pregnant. I wonder if they will approve of the wedding if they find out. If only they knew their crazy son wouldn’t leave me for other better omegas. I have to remember to ask Sasha if they know about my pregnancy when we are alone.
"It was nice to finally meet you, Tyler." Lucia smiles at me.
