Hagen, Lynn - Oliver's Heart [Brac Pack 6] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove) (12 page)

Oliver rolled over, and all Micah could do was collapse onto the bed. His mate curled up next to him contently.

Micah pulled Oliver close. He had been debating how to approach the subject to his mate. Taking a deep breath, he said, “I was looking into something at the rec center while you were getting creamed.” Levity should help.

“What’s that?” Oliver sleepily asked.

“They offer counseling there. I mean, only if you want it. Just thought I’d throw that out there. You don’t have to decide now.” When his mate didn’t answer, Micah cursed. There was nothing in this world he wouldn’t do for Olivernothingbut he knew his mate’s problems were beyond his scope of expertise. He wouldn’t force his mate to go but hoped he’d at least consider it.

“Because of my dad?” Oliver asked in a childlike voice that tore at Micah’s heart.

“Yeah.”

“Will you go with me?”

“If you want me to, but I think Blair would be a better choice.” Micah pulled his mate closer, running his hands up and down his back. “You know you can’t mention anything about us being shifters.”

“Duh.”

Micah gently swatted his bottom. “So, you’ll go?”

“I’ll try it. I have a lot of anger still in me. I’ll ask Blair. I’m not sure if he’s ready. I’m not sure if I am, but I’ll try.”

“That’s all I can ask.” Micah rested his chin on Oliver’s head as he held him close. What their father had done to them was abhorrent. Kota may have let the man live, but Micah was seriously considering revoking that pass. How anyone could abuse their own child that way was beyond him.

Hopefully, the counseling would help heal his mate. Micah wanted to replace the betrayal and pain with love and acceptance in Oliver’s heart.
