It was amazing to watch the two, even after all these years they still had admiration and love clear for all to see in their eyes. My father still looked at my mother like she was the most beautiful person in the world and my mother still looked at him like he was her hero. I envied them sometimes, I wished for what they had. I wished a man would look at me the way my father looked at my mother.
“Is there a problem love? We were just rounding up.” He said.
“Yes, I can see that, with this pile of paper work in front of you.” My mother responded with a light laugh and I rolled my eyes when my father invited her to take a seat on his leg.
They had no respect for other people around them sometimes.
“I’ll just come back tomorrow and we can finish up.” Uncle smith said and I quickly shook my head.
“No uncle, you can stay too. It concerns all of us.” I said knowing that I would also need him while trying to convince my father who would definitely say no to this.
Once I settled in the only other chair available, I cleared my throat, avoiding all sorts of eye contact with the people that were now focused on me.
“So umm lately, I’ve been feeling really unhappy.” I began
“What’s making you unhappy babe? Is anyone giving you troubles again? Do you need help with anything? Are yo-”
“Let her finish honey.” My mom lightly scolded my father and I sent her a grateful smile, wiping my sweaty hands against my pants.
“It’s just that I still hear the whispers whenever I’m on the street, I’m still pointed at and sneered and there are snickers everywhere I go. I don’t think I can handle it anymore. I’m not happy here, I feel like I’m not living my life as I should and it’s very frustrating for me. I appreciate all that you do for me as my parents, keeping me protected, safe, trying to make me happy, but it’s not working anymore for me, none of that is enough anymore and as the days go by, it just gets worse and worse.” I explained, my voice breaking up when tears began falling from my eyes.
“Oh baby, I’m so sorry about that. I’m sure there’s something that could be done.” My mother said carefully, walking towards me and wrapping me in another hug.
“I need to leave.” I said once I settled again.
“What?” I heard from the other three people in the room.
“I need to go away from here for a while. Find a new purpose for me somewhere else, try to find myself in the world again. I appreciate all that you do for me but I think it’s time for to try and find my feet somewhere else, by myself.”
“No, never. I understand how you feel, but we’re going to work together to help you feel better. Everything can be fixed and I’ll make sure that it’s fixed. You’re not leaving this pack.” My father said, just as I had expected but a surge of anger went through my frame at his words.
“One of the major reasons I’m leaving is because of you. I appreciate all that you do to protect myself and my brothers but it can be too much sometimes. I want to be free, I want to be known as Jessy and not the Alpha King’s daughter. The majority of the people in this pack and beyond don’t even know my name! I’m twenty one dad, I’m old enough to have a life of my own, outside of this family, I’m old enough to make my own decisions and this is what I want.” I said and the entire office remained silent.

It went on for so long that I was worried nobody was going to say anything and my heart skipped in my chest.
