Julian’s POV
Alice’s question filled me with the kind of joy and pride that made me puff out my chest a little. Of course Alice’s friends would think that her mother and I were a couple, we were still married after all. We also were Alice’s legitimate parents.
As for when we were going to get married… Well, we already were.
Alice clearly didn’t know that, and right here in this park did not seem like the time to tell her.
Amber had kept Alice in the dark on so many things, it seemed. That Amber and I were married, that I was Alice’s real father, that she could so easily be next in line to rule the Thorn pack.
I wasn’t pleased Amber had kept these secrets, but I could understand why she would. Out of fear of abandonment, I suspected. Why lift up Alice’s hopes just to watch them fall?
