Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 163

Lauren's POV

Dejected eyes met mine.

My silent tears turned to painful cries. No one told me that it was my father who found my mom. Not even my grandmother Anna.

I tried very hard to calm myself despite the anguish I felt inside. Although, I wanted to cry my heart out or throw things so that I could release the hurt that squeeze my heart.

My mother, my poor mother was alone. I want to chastise myself for staying the weekend with my grandmother. Had I stay things would have end differently.

Bella was crying with me in my head. She, too, was hurt with what happened to my mother. My wolf understood that having a mate that would cheat on you was pain unimaginable.

"It was my father who found her?" I repeated.

Alpha Kean nodded.

"Why? I mean, he was supposed to be in a business trip that weekend. When Grandma Anna requested me for the weekend, my mom agreed because, she said she has a lot of things to do in the house. That it was very timely since dad and I were gone." I questioned. "It was not written in the newspaper that I read that dad found her."

"It was in the police report, Lauren. I had the previledge to read the report."

I sighed. He knew people from high places. Of course, he would have the advantage.

"Besides, they were mates. They have the bond, Lauren."

I breathed out.

Alpha Kean has a valid point but the knowledge did not sit well with me that my father was there.

I stood up. I had enough. Although, I want to know about my mother, what I heard about the last moment of my mother's life devastated me.

"Lauren..."

"Thank you for your time. I appreciate you telling me all these."

I heard the screeching sound of the wooden chair being pushed back. I did not look back even when Alpha Kean called for my name.

I ran to the door and closed it quickly at my exit.

I thread in the direction of the bedroom where I stayed. I saw Richard standing by its door. I nodded at him and did not say a word before entering the room.

Tears immediately fell on my face the moment I was in the privacy of the bedroom. My heart clenched at the pain I felt for my mother.

I miss my mom. I yearned for her embrace and smiles. Her warmth was the one I longed for whenever I felt sick and sad.

When she died, not only I lost a mother but also a father.

Manuel Blanco seemed to have forgotten that he has a daughter when his mate died. He did not make an effort to communication with his daughter who lost her mother. Instead, he gave the responsibility of raising his daughter to his mother-in-law. I was longing for my father's love when my mother died. Although my grandmother Anna showered me with love and affection, I am hungry for my father's love when my mother died.

I questioned myself why my father chose to leave me with Grandma Anna. Was I not pretty enough? I was I a bad kid? Does my performance in school not good enough for him to pay me a visit?

A lot of things ran in my young mind only to discover that he found another woman in place of my mother. Moreover, the woman also has a daughter that was only younger than me by a few months. The daughter also called my father 'dad. The affection that I craved from my father was easily given to his other daughter. Not only that, everyone seemed to like her more. And the child used that to her advantage for years just to make the others see me the evil and spoiled daughter. Despite the animosity I felt for my father and his new family, I did not use it as a reason to do something that would affect my studies. Instead, I focused on it and was accelerated a few times and got my medical degree at a very young age. Apparently, my mother and I offended by the same people. We both experienced pain from the very person that we love, by Alpha Manuel Blanco.

His extra-marital affair destroyed my mother that led to her demise. And now, the same woman and her daughter would have harm me in the same way. It was a good thing that I made better choices.

My mother has no one to turn to. I have friends and family that supported me. I have Victor. I will not make the same mistake that my mother did.

Yet, it still bothers me that my father was there on my mother's deathbed.

My musing was halted when I heard my mobile phone rings. I left it in the room since I did not bring a purse. The one that I have did not go along with the dress I am wearing at the moment.

I wiped the tears off my face as I sauntered near the bed.

The phone is still ringing. It was on top of the side table under the night lamp.

Sobbed came out of my mouth when I saw Victor's name on the school. I cleared my throat before I answered the phone.

"H-hello."

My voice was deeper than I intended.

"Lauren?"

I sniffled at the sound of his voice. I knew that he would be worry but I miss him so much. My feelings at the moment made me missed him more.

"Victor..."

"What's wrong?" Concern was laced on his words. "Are you hurt? Where's Richard?"

"I am not hurt. I mean, physically I am alright."

I heard him exhaled on the other line. "Tell me, my love. What's wrong?"

I cried before words form on my mouth. I wiped more tears from my face.

"Lauren, please give me an assurance that you are fine. Kent and I are seeing red at the moment. Knowing and feeling your heightened emotions did not help, my Luna." There was warning on his statement. It gave me an affirmation that Bella and I were not alone.

I cleared my throat again before I spoke.

"I talked to Alpha Kean about my mother."

"I see. What did he tell you?"

"My father found my mother first. I mean, it was him who found my mother's body when she took her life."

I slowly sat up on the bed but eventually laid down in the middle. My hand has a tight grip on the phone.

"Oh?"

"Y-yeah."

"I will look into it. I will order another investigation about your mother's death, my Luna. I will used all possible resources so that we'll know what really happened that day."

I nodded at his words. I knew that he did not see it but it made me feel better knowing that I am no longer alone in this world. That I am going to find out what happened those years ago. I will finally know the truth on my mother's death.

Even though it was Janice who planted the idea that my father was there when mom died, knowing that it was true did not settle well on my head. I have doubts on the presence of my father on the day my mother died. On why I have hesitations was still unclear and I refused to admit why I am skeptical.

"Are you feeling better, my love?"

"Yes. Thank you, Victor. I am lost without you nowadays. I responded with a smile.

"I am glad that I can help you. After all, I am your true mate."

"And I am happy knowing that. I would have been happier if you are here."

My smile widened when his laughter resonated in my ear.

I grabbed a pillow and hugged it closer to my chest. I am imagining that it was Victor. I am feeling better already.

"I will be there in a few, my Luna. I will not allow it knowing that you are unhappy without me."

"Really?"

"Yes, I am."

I sat up in the middle of the bed. My eyes were wide. My other hand has a tight grip on the soft pillow.

"Oh, my god." I whispered.

Victor is coming!
