Rose Bailey: My Mate, My Flower Chapter 201

Ebony's POV

"Hey, My Love," Keith said as he walked into our room. He walked over to me, wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me to him. 

"So what happened?" I asked 

"King Jacob came to because he heard about you almost being kidnapped. He also said he wanted to apologize to you personally for the way she talked to you back at the palace," Keith said

"How did he find out about me almost being kidnapped?' I asked

"He had some of his warriors come here to keep an eye on you. He said he was worried that you could be in danger for being his daughter and also because of when that man tried to shoot you back at the palace," Keith said. I was shocked that he would do that. I thought he didn't care about me or want me around. 

'Do you think I should talk to him?" I asked

"I don't want to tell you what to do, My Love. I want you to make your own decision," Keith said 

"What would you do if you were in my shoes?" I asked

"Honestly, I might hear him out," Keith said 

'I don't know what I should do, Keith. I want to talk to him, but I am afraid I am not going to like what he says," I said

"The only way to find out is to hear what he has to say. I am worried that if you don't, you will regret it later," Keith replied

One Day Later

"Thank you for meeting with me, Ebony," Jacob said. I decided to listen to Nancy and Keith and meet with Jacob. He came to the Packhouse, and we talked in the backyard. Keith made sure that none of the Pack Members would be present while I talked to him.

"Keith told me you wanted to talk to me," I said

"Yes, I wanted to apologize to you, Ebony. I am sorry for saying those things to you. I hope you can forgive me, and we can start over," Jacob said

"Why do you want to start over? So that I can take my place as Queen," I asked

"No. I want to start over because you are my daughter Ebony. Not because of some position," Jacob said 

"Well, I don't know how we can start over. Whenever I am around, your Mate is talking about my mom. I don't have time to put up with that," I said

"I know that, Ebony. But, like I already told you, I am sorry for how Alice and I treated you. I also want to say that you still shouldn't have left the way you did," Jaco scolded.

"I wasn't going to sit around and keep being disrespected. That is why I left," I said

"Yeah, but you didn't have to destroy everything on your floor and hit Alice," Jacob said 

"What are you talking about? I didn't destroy the room or hit Alice," I said, confused.

"You don't have to deny it, Ebony. Alice told me everything about how you were upset and destroyed your room. Then, when she tried to apologize and convince you to stay, you hit her in the face," 

"That is not true. I didn't mess up the room or hit Alice in the face. Keith and I didn't even see Alice after the two of you left the dining room that night. We went straight to the room and packed all our stuff before leaving," I said, and he looked at me for a moment.

"I think you, me, and Alice need to sit down and talk. Get to the bottom of everything," Jacob said 

"I don't think that is a good idea. I can tell she doesn't like me that much," I said 

"Well, will you and Keith at least have dinner with Alice, Alissa, and me," Jacob asked

"I will talk to Keith about it, but I am sure that will be fine. But I really don't want to argue with anyone," I said 

"I promise there will be no arguing. Thank you for meeting with me," Jacob said. Jacob left, and I went up to Keith and my floor. I couldn't help thinking about Alice and how she lied to Jacob. I was going to tell Keith everything that Jacob said Alice told him. I knew I needed to figure out why she would do that.
