The Brutal Alpha's Tender Daughter novel Chapter 52

He sighed and after several beats of silence, Oliver nodded his head and quietly said, "Alright!".

Sia squealed and threw herself into the arms of her brother who did not think twice about crushing her to himself.

"But if there's any trouble you're going to call me!"

Sia laughed and nodded her head, before she drew back and pulled me into a tight embrace.

"Thank you Luna!"

My eyes widened at her sentence and a small smile made its way on my lips when I realized that I had indeed spoken my mind like a Luna would have done. Lunas wanted to make sure that there pack members were happy and I knew letting Sia stay with Daria was the right choice.

I got teary eyed again when it was time so say goodbye, not only to Daria but also to Sia. I hugged Sia tightly and told her how thankful I was to her and that I knew that she was going to make us all proud. I also made her promise to stay in contact with me to which Sia gladly agreed.

When it was time to say goodbye to Daria I embraced her as well.

"Thanks to you my child the future's going to be better.", Daria whispered into my ear and I could not help but smile at her words.

"I've got something for you my dear. Consider it a thank you.", she then told me and showed me a beautiful golden necklace with a tree pendant.

"It's the tree of live and I want you to have it."

I shook my head and said, "Daria I can't accept that. The eyeball was rightfully yours, I just brought it back."

Daria smiled gently at me and said, "Just for being this humble I want you to have it, I insist."

Smilingly I nodded my head and accepted her present.

I had never felt content with my life, because it had always felt like something very important was missing. Each time I thought I had my life figured out, a part inside of me demanded that it still could get better. But for the life of me I could not find out how.

I had a great childhood, my parents had made sure that I had everything I needed and even though I knew that they had adopted me they never made me feel like I was not their own.

I had great friends, but more often than not I prefered to be alone, although my wolf yearned for company.

At first I thought my dissatisfication was connected to my career therefore I had switched jobs more often than other people. After high school I had joined the army, because as stupid as it sounded now, I had needed some action in my life. However, being bossed around by others had not sat well with my wolf and before he had done something I had certainly regretted later, like brutally ripping out the throat of the piece of shit commander, I had quit.

After that I had tried joining the police, because hunting down the bad guys and making sure that the people in my town were safe had been something I enjoyed. However, the system did not always make sure that the bad guys were locked up, which had enraged me more times than I had wanted to admit. So I had quit again.

Now I was working for my brother in law's construction company and even though I had always enjoyed working with my hands and he was one of the few people who knew about me being a shifter and therefore made sure nobody bossed me around too much as it would just enrage my wolf, I was still not content with my life. Sure it gave me a purpose to get up each morning, but there was still something missing, I just knew there was more for me out there.

My sister, Naja, thought I needed a woman in my life. Just the thought made me shudder. I was definitely not a monk, but each time I tried dating it went horrible wrong. I instantly found something that annoyed me and this always made me incredible rude. Even just sleeping with a woman would leave me with a bitter taste. My wolf would growl in my mind each time I would accompany a woman home and would not speak to me for days after. It did not help that I felt even more hollow after I had slept with a woman and I also felt guilty, what for I had never found out. Due to all this negative emotions I felt after a one night stand I stopped having them. And I had to admit I was better but not great.
