Alpha’s White Lie
Chapter 100
“You are not my father. You may have contributed to creating me,
but you are no one to me. I do not need you, and I will never need
you.”
Richard looked like a brick wall had hit him. He took a step back and
steadied himself.
“Well then, I’m sure your mother will have some words for you when
you get home. I’m sure she will not be impressed by your behavior
today. At least I have my daughter who has some respect for me” his
gaze landed on me.
“Respect? Oh, I have something for you, but it is definitely not
respect. You don’t have a daughter. I don’t want to have anything to
do with you. You are no one to me either. For 28 years, you both lied
to me. Ma lied about not knowing who,my father was, and you lied
about not knowing I existed. You never bothered to visit me or find
out how I was doing. So don’t even start with that bullshit now. Rocky
speaks for me too when he says, we don’t need you, and we never will
need you” I finally found my voice. The man abandoned me even
before I was born. He didn’t get to walk into my life one day and own
- it.
“Rosalie, he is your father. You will show him respect,” my mother

barked from the bed.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in, pulling Blake’s arms
away so I could turn to face my mother. Blake stayed close to me,
holding me up.
“I guess we’ve reached an impasse then, haven’t we, ma” I walked up
closer to her and looked her straight in the eye.
“I will show him no respect. He has not earned respect. So, ma, you
have to choose because this is where I draw the line. Him or me? I
suggest you decide very carefully because if I walk out these doors,
you’re on your own.”
Mum looked at me, completely stunned. Her eyes flickered between
Richard and me. Her lips moved to say something, but no words came
out. The indecision was written all over her face.
“Bethany, I’m here for you. Like I always have. Don’t let her scare
you. You are her mother. She can not just walk away from you. It’s
this boy I’m telling you. He’s filling her head with all these lies,”
Richard said, pointing towards Blake.
“Watch it, old man. You do not talk to him like that.” Rocky piped in.
“Don’t worry, Rockz. He can say whatever he wants. He’s

disrespecting someone that’s on the elder’s committee. That is a
bigger crime than having children outside of your bonding.”
Richard flared his nose and gawked at Blake.
“So, ma, what will it be?” I asked.
She looked very undecided. I could tell by the way she was fidgeting.
“Richard. I pick Richard. At least he doesn’t treat me the way you do.
He comes to visit, and he brings me what I need. You boss me around
like I’m a child.”
Ma’s words punched me straight in the heart. After everything I had
done for her, everything I had suffered because of her, she picked
him.
Tears slid down my cheeks as her words registered. She had finally
cut that last piece of string I held on to.
“Okay, ma,
if that’s what you want. Before I go, you should know that
Blake and I are getting married. I was initially debating whether or
not I wanted you to come, but today you’ve made my decision clear. I
love you. Please take care of yourself and don’t bother calling me
when you’re in trouble.” I turned away from her and let off the breath
I was holding.

“Take me home, please,” I whispered, knowing Blake could hear me.
His arms immediately wrapped around me and started towing me
out of the room.
“Wait, Rosy, don’t leave. I want us to get to know each other.”
Richard stepped in our way.
“I don’t think she wants to know you, old man. If I ever see you
anywhere near Rosy again, I will make sure it’s your last day on this
earth. Now move” Blake’s voice was laced with anger.
“You can’t make decisions for her. She’s my daughter! I will see and
talk to her whenever I like.” Richard took a step forward, his jaws
clenched and hands fisted.
Richard was suddenly pushed away, and in his spot was standing an
outraged Rocky.
“You do not talk to my Alpha and Luna with such disrespect! I don’t
fucking care who you are!” Rocky hissed.
Richard stumbled but caught the end of the bed before he fell.
“Come on. Let’s get out of here before I paint the walls with his
blood,” Blake exclaimed before he started to walk out the door.

Rocky and Taylor were right behind us. Taylor had been very quiet
the whole time, and I could tell she knew a lot more than I did. Her
face held more remorse than shock.
Blake guided me into the hallway, and we walked towards the
entrance. I saw the reception sign and slowed down.
“Wait, I need to do something,” I said and pulled myself out of his
embrace. I walked up to the counter.
“Hey, Miranda. Can I please ask you to close the account I created
for my mother’s treatment and stop the payments, please? She will be
paying for herself from this moment.”
The kind receptionist nodded and furiously typed on her computer.
Once she was done, she gave me a letter saying all the remaining
funds in the account had been transferred back, and the account was
now closed. I thanked her, and Blake guided me out of the hospital.
“You sure you wanna do this?” He asked.
“Yes, I’m sure. I’m cutting the cord. Ma’s on her own now” my voice
cracked a little, but I quickly cleared my throat and pushed the pain
to the back of my mind.
She had picked, and it gave me that chance to finally walk away from
