To the girls with a mean inner voice, tell that bitch to stfu.
I’m back on my skates when Alexi palms the back of my helmet with his gloved hand. “Knew you were going to be a good boy, Connery.” He taps my helmet one more time before giving me a massive grin and skating off.
All I know is I feel like I’m floating into the abyss and I need to be centered. I’m not sure why Owen seems to be that person, but I’m so sick of floundering alone. I’m scared, but more than anything, I’m lonely.
it feels like none of it is enough. That I’m not enough. That these good things just happen to me and I don’t deserve them. When will anything I do feel like enough? Will I ever feel deserving of what I have or who I surround myself with?
I don’t know, Mom. It’s all too much. I don’t know what to do. Mom: You let these Alphas take care of you. Stop being such a fucking dumbass. I love you. Call me later.
Alexi holds me tight against his chest as a purr rumbles out of him. His scent wraps around me like a cocoon, and his touch gives me purchase.
I think that caring for my patients makes me a better doctor. I’m sorry that I’m not detached from human emotion.” That one hits him deep as he glares at me. “Always such a disappointment, Piper.”
“That’s enough. Your daughter is talented, intelligent, and compassionate. What else could you ask for?” “I expect excellence,” my dad says calmly, staring at me.
“Pack up your things. I’m going to be renting this unit to someone else,” he says calmly, standing up and directing Tess to do the same. “What?” I say blinking. “I said you’re no longer welcome here. You want to throw away everything I gave you? Then fine, I’ll give you nothing in return.
He’s asked everything of me, and I’ve done everything I could. I’m a child of a narcissist, and the wounds cut deep—far deeper than I ever realized.
I just want to feel worthy, but I’m just not sure of what.
The way Alexi sees me is the way I wish I could see myself.
What in the Omega fuckery is happening to me?
Motherfucking cunt ass stove,” she mumbles. I’m proud to say that I held strong and don’t react, but Owen isn’t and uses my leg to hide his laughter.
“My dad doesn’t believe in packs. He doesn’t trust Omegas, and he’s just in general a possessive asshole. I was born via a closed surrogate birthing process.” I blink at her. “That man chose to have a child on purpose?” “Even picked an embryo that had signs of being an Alpha. I will say, he’s never been disappointed in my being female. Just disappointed in general.”
I’ve never had someone believe in me the way you do. I not only love you, but you made me love myself again, and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to thank you enough for that.”
“Well, my two sons who don’t speak to each other are both going to the fucking Stanley Cup Finals, so you tell me.”
“Yeah, you need to air this fucker out. I’m going to take a nap. Come on, Piper.”
