The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Chapter 58: A Pitiful Prisoner

Thaddeus’ POV

Cody opened the door to his ranch house. It was painted white with a wrap around veranda in the front. The rooms were all bright, in whites and creams, with minimal furniture and ornaments. You could tell a guy lived here alone. A bachelor. Well, not anymore now that he’d come back for his “Lizzie.” We found Farris, Friday’s Dad, slumped over near the liquor cabinet in a pool of his own vomit. Theo and I glanced at each other. We looked at Fang, scrutinising his expression. He kept his facial expressions neutral. I knew he had to be hurting on some level. I clapped him on the back, squeezing his shoulder. He put his hand on the hand I’d laid on his shoulder. He sighed deeply. Theo rubbed his back.

“Hey, Fang, this situation…it’s complicated,” I said, not knowing what else to say to him.

Fang’s eyes were shimmery, glassy. He was trying to blink away the tears. A stray tear escaped down his cheek and he quickly wiped it away. Even Theo was feeling sorry for Fang, continuously rubbing his back comfortingly like they were bros. I had to think of my delicate little Friday. This was her Dad. Asshole or not. Attempted Murderer. Former Beta. He had served Marigold so that should not go unnoticed but he’d also betrayed his former alpha but his former alpha had in a sense betrayed him first with the affair with his Beta’s wife. It wouldn’t be my decision to make, it would be Maze’s but I was worried about that too. Cody had gone and gotten himself into this mess. Maze couldn’t let any harm come to Cody devastating his mom. Killing Farris would devastate his mate and not doing anything would alienate his father.

Cody helped Farris to his feet and started getting him cleaned up. Cody mopped up the vomit. I got some water from the fridge and encouraged Farris to sip it. He could not go to trial drunk as a fish. Farris slumped over on the couch in a new set of clean clothes. He moaned. His stomach hurt apparently. Well, obviously

We gave him some greasy fries to eat and he ate about half a portion and drank two cups of water before he started to perk up a little. He had his wits about him now. He glanced at me somewhat distastefully. I knew he had wanted his daughter with the Marigold Alpha Maze but I was not sure if recent discoveries had changed that.

“So you’re not even gonna try to plead your case?” I asked, trying as hard as I could to emotional.

“You know what upsets me?” said Farris.

“What?” I snarled, reaching my limit with him.

“You can forgive your w***e of a mother but you can’t even try to see it from my perspective,” said Farris, slurring his words and cackling madly near the end of the sentence.
