Page 19 of Rejection and Redeemed
“Yeah, I know that,” Fran said. “But I can see how it might be frustrating for the dead Alpha’s family.” He paused for a moment. “How do you think Finn is getting on?”
“Hopefully he can talk some sense into Jacob,” Robbie said.
Before anyone could answer, the lodge door opened and Finn came stomping in, closing the door loudly behind him.
“It went well then?” Robbie asked him.
Finn dropped into a chair next to Robert. “I get that he’s hurting, but he’s also an arse.”
“And this is news to you?” Frank asked him, raising an eyebrow.
Finn shook his head. “Not really, but I had hopes that maybe when he met Fran he would fall over himself to mate with him.”
“I take it that he still wants nothing to do with me,” Fran said softly.
“I don’t think it’s you personally. I think it’s the whole Pullman name he’s having issues with. He’s blaming Berni for ruining his life and Cresswell for taking everything from him.” Finn sighed.
“So what do I do now?” Fran asked no one in particular.
Frank blew out a breath. “I wish I knew.”
“This is the part where I go and talk to him,” Robbie said, standing up.
Finn snorted. “Yeah, good luck with that.”
“Jacob is still injured from his fight with Cresswell. See if you can get him to shift, so he can heal,” Fran said.
Robbie nodded. “I’ll see what I can do.”
Jacob scowledas he looked at Robert Pullman. “Am I to get a visit from everyone?”
“Not everyone, no, only a few of us came to help Fran.”
“Go away,” Jacob said, going to close the door.
Robbie put his hand out and stopped him. “We will be talking, and we’ll talk now,” he asserted, pushing his way into the lodge.
He heard Jacob cursing him under his breath, but chose to ignore it.
Robbie could feel the pain Jacob was in, but what surprised him was that not all that pain was physical.
“I don’t know if you know, but I’m a doctor. How injured are you?”
Jacob didn’t bother to close the door and walked into the lounge. “I’ll be fine in a few days, I don’t need a doctor.”
Robbie rolled his eyes, walked to the lodge door and closed it, before joining Jacob in the lounge. He sat down opposite him.
“You know Fintan is lost to you, don’t you? He and I are true mates, which nothing, not even death, can break.”
Jacob scowled. “So it seems.”
“And the fates in their wisdom have granted you another mate, in my cousin, Fran.”
Jacob didn’t say anything.
“Is it the fact Fran has blue hair that is stopping you from being with him?”
Jacob felt a smile try and tug his lips as he remembered the tufts of blue hair on Fran’s wolf.
