Chapter 42

Alan and Christine returned home later that day. Christine could tell how confused her mate was about the whole situation, as she could feel his guilt and discomfort. She knew he was feeling guilty because both men in question were his nephews and they both deserve a chance at love and being the person he is, Christine was certain that he had promised to help Hugh bring his mate to him, thinking it was Hailey. Now that he realizes that it isn t her, he has no idea what to do. Taking a deep breath, she joins her mate on the couch where he was quietly sitting since they got back from Roy s place. She placed her hand on his, entwining their fingers. "I understand how you feel." She quietly said. "It s not as easy as I thought. They re all affected by this, especially Kimberly. She has no idea what this is all about and now the worse part is, she isn t even ready to believe us… Christine, if she doesn t make a decision soon, I m afraid things will get ugly." Al
