Without regrets [redwood book 2]

Chapter forty three

Ryan

My mother?

Why did he need to do research on my mother, the last we heard about her, she was in jail waiting for her sentencing. I didn't know Enzo was doing anymore searches. I thought he knew everything that he needed to know so why? And why now?

"Why were you doing research on my mother?"again.

I was asking Enzo but I didn't care about which one decided to answer. I just wanted my questions answered.

"What's there to research? She went jail for robbery right? What's there left to know?"I continued with my questions since no one was answering them.

Makes sense right?

I looked between them waiting for any of them to speak but neither did. Cameron had his hands on his hips, his head thrown back and his eyes were on the ceiling. He looked frustrated.

Enzo was waiting for the green light from Cameron but damn him. This had nothing to do with Cameron and everything to do with me. This was about my birth mother. Shouldn't he be accessing my face to see whether I should hear about this or not. Why was he waiting for Cameron to respond or give them that stupid man look.

-Its a wolf thing. It is also a mate thing. no one knows you like your mate.-

News flash we haven't officially mated so he doesn't know how I feel or how I would feel.

-then its a man thing-

"Did you ask him to do research about my mother?"I asked Cameron sounding annoyed.

Cameron and I came a long way but we're still new. There were things we didn't know about each other and we are taking time to truly get to know each other. He knows some of my past. I will admit, not all. There are things you have to wait to tell your newly partner?

It wasn't like I was hiding anything about my mother, I didn't know anything about her. I just didn't want Cameron looking at my past. It was only so much you could find out by looking my files or whatever. I plan to fully open up to him, give him a part of me that I haven't ever given anyone and I mean that in every way but he needs to be patient and understanding. We spoke about this last night and I thought he understood.

His tilt his head back to normal and turned to me, his face changed from looking frustrated to looking like I offended him. He opened his mouth to speak but before he said anything, Enzo spoke.

"He didn't ask this time around. I did it because I wanted to"He asked hurriedly.

He could be just covering for his friend and his Alpha. I didn't know much about this werewolf life but I knew that title had some power. I looked at him suspiciously, unsure whether to believe him or not.

Why did he care? From how he was acting lately he didn't seem like he did.

"Why? What's the point? You don't even care about me"

I shut my eyes. Sometimes my mouth goes against what my brain orders and does its own thing like now. That was not what I have ever wanted to voiced. I had shown him this vulnerable side of me twice and it was getting ridiculous. I was supposed to act aloof like him giving me the cold shoulder didn't bother me but I couldn't hide it anymore.

I knew I had a problem with showing my vulnerable side because I didn't want people to think I was weak and take advantage of my feelings. I didn't want people to know I cared because it gave them the power to walk over me. It was a flaw and apparently it stayed with me during my transition.
