Alpha Bane's POV
As we walked down the streets, I stared at my father's face for a while as he walked beside me. I didn't know how to start saying what I wanted to say and how he was going to take it but I was quite certain that I needed to.
"You seem to be looking at me way more than normal, son. Is there a problem?" He asked with a smile on his face and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Not so, dad. It's just that there's something I'd love to talk to you about, if you don't mind," I chuckled.
He stared at me for a while, probably wondering what it was, but after a while, he took a deep breath and placed his hands on his waists. "Go on, my son. You can always talk to me about anything you want. I mean, that's what I'm here for, isn't it?"
"Thank you, father," I said, scratching my head and clearing my throat so that I could talk to him properly. "It's about Aurora. I need to tell you something about her."
"What happened to her?" He asked, looking a bit worried.
"No. No. Nothing happened to her. It's just that I plan to make her solely mine," I said to him but he seemed to not be getting my point. "I plan to get married to Aurora. I want to wed her as soon as possible."
He laughed aloud, much to my annoyance. He must have thought that I was trying to pull his legs or tell a joke but I wasn't. It was something that I had made up my mind to do. If not, there'd have been no need to even bring her with me back to the Pack.
"How do you even want to do that, Alex?" He asked, struggling to control his laughter as much as he could, all to no avail. "It doesn't seem like something you may want to do now."
I smiled, knowing that I came to him very prepared. I dipped my hands into my pocket and took out a huge, sparkling diamond ring. I turned to look at my father's face and saw how surprised he looked.
His eyes were so wise, probably because he never thought that I was so serious about it and he was also probably amazed at how costly the ring must have been. That's what I thought though. What I was so certain of was that he was shocked.
"Where did you get this?" He asked, still unable to close his mouth. That only made me even happier because my father wasn't an easy man to impress.
He wasn't a man who was moved by material things. Gifts and all seldom touched him. I'd only seen him get so happy about a gift and it was given to him by Dylan's mother. Apart from that, he never seemed impressed by anything or anyone too.
"I had Donald call the most expensive jeweller in the Pack and luckily for us, this was still available," I replied, raising my right brow. "We were even told that it was the last of it and if we had come about an hour or two later, we might not have been able to get it. I don't think I was fortunate, as they tried to imply though. I think it was fate."
Still in shock, he stretched forth his hand and I handed the ring over to him so he could have a clearer look. "This piece is beautiful," he muttered, still admiring the beauty. "I didn't know you were this serious, Alex. I'm super surprised, son. Wow."
"Well, I am."
