　　While we were eating, we didn't say anything to each other. Alpha Darrel was so into his phone while I was pretending to also be busy with my phone.

　　"Did you call mom today?" I asked him and he turned to look at me surprised. I knew he would be because we don't get along very well.

　　"She called when I wasn't with my phone, then I called back when I saw her calls." He explained it to me. I never added an explanation so I was surprised he was explaining everything to me.

　　I raised my head to look at him after hearing his explanation. "Did she ask when we were returning to the pack?" I asked curiously because I could remember he gave her a reply that sort of relates to that.

　　"Yes, my reply was vague." I was surprised to hear what he said because why would he give her a vague reply when we are clearly returning tomorrow.

　　"You could have told her tomorrow." I said to him and paused eating. I know that she would think I'm taking her son away from her which is why I didn't like that he gave her a vague reply.

　　"Why should I tell her tomorrow when I don't think we will be able to leave tomorrow, have you seen the state of everyone here? Things are not as good as you think they are. Last night I met your dad in the car, he was drinking there all by himself." I opened my eyes wider than normal when I heard what he said because dad has been looking good and all of a sudden I'm hearing this.

　　"What if you just say? Dad?" I asked him again trying to be sure I heard correctly. I covered my face with my hand feeling like a bad daughter because I couldn't tell my dad was not doing great.

　　"Yes, not everyone that looks okay is totally fine, most times one's death can trigger a lot of other things, maybe it made him remember his wife's death." Alpha Darrel said to me. I placed my hand on my head as I remembered that it's not only his wife that he has lost.

　　"Cassie too," I said almost in a whisper, how did I not think of this?

　　I could no longer eat after hearing everything Alpha Darrel said to me. The thought of him drinking alone made me feel horrible already.

　　I stood up from where we were seated and headed towards the closet.

　　"You don't have to feel like a bad person, there's no way you could have known he was going through so much on his own. He told you he was fine." Alpha Darrel said to me trying to make me feel better.

　　I didn't know what I was doing In the closet, I turned back and sat on the bed struggling not to cry in front of Alpha Darrel. It hit me really hard again that my dad was going through a lot, if I was the one in his state he would do everything to make me feel better but here I am eating and feeling good while he was drowning himself with Alcohol last night.

　　"I feel like I'm a horrible daughter, he is going through so much and I never cared to check on him and see how he's doing." I said to Alpha Darrel.

　　"I know how you feel but I want you to know that none of this is your fault, you are also mourning." He said to me,

　　I stood up and headed to the toilet ahd as usual I turned on the tap and started crying. I know he's very aware of my movements now, he knows when I'm in the toilet, it means I want to let it out of my chest by crying.

　　When I was done I washed my face and walked out of the toilet. I realized crying was not the best thing to do. Instead it's better I go see him in his room or wherever he is ahd check on him.

　　Alpha Darrel was still seated in the room when I walked out of the toilet. I headed out of the room and went to my dad's room. I knocked on the door several times and tried opening it but it was locked.

　　I realized he must have stepped out. I was about to go back to the room when I sighted Grandma Sofia.

　　"Will you have a drink with me?" Grandma asked with a smile on her face. I nodded my head and we both headed to the bar. I picked a wine that won't be bad for her age and we both cheered before drinking.

　　"You know the very first day you arrived in the house I knew." I opened my eyes wider than normal when I heard what grandma Sofia said.

　　"Really? How? Because I remember you were not here," I said to her, still looking surprised.

　　"My sister was here, she was so excited. She said she finally found her granddaughter because you looked so much like Cassie." I remember clearly the first day she saw me and called me Cassie. I thought her age was messing with her and she thought I was her granddaughter, little did I know that she knew from the start that I wasn't her granddaughter.

　　"She knew I wasn't Cassie?" I asked again for clarity. Grandma Sofia nodded her head. "She just called you that because of how much she missed her granddaughter.

　　I could finally understand. "I was jealous, she would always call and speak so hug me, it felt like you stole her heart completely and she had no space to love another." Grandma Sofia chuckled after talking because she thought it was funny.

　　"That's how petty I can think most times." She added and took a sip of the alcohol in front of her.

　　Hearing her speak so highly about her sister made me know that they loved each other a lot and maybe she was really jealous because I would be too. I waited to hear more that she had to say.

　　I couldn't stop laughing while she was talking, I can't believe I misjudged her earlier because of the way she was talking to me.

　　"Did you two ever fight?" I asked her and she nodded her head before we both laughed. Talking to her was a breath of fresh air.
