Mate? What does that mean?
I stared at Jeff's mother with a trembling gaze. My whole mind went blank with the bomb she just dropped. Why would they know about mates? Do humans have mates, too?
Jeff's mother narrowed her eyes at me. "Who are you?" she asked again. "What are you doing inside my son's house?
My lips parted, unable to answer her question because my brain is not in its best state-not when I am suddenly confused about what's happening around me.
While waiting for me to answer, two men came from behind her.
They both looked so intense that the first thing I thought when they came in is that they are her bodyguards. One is wearing a brown shirt and a pair of jeans. I think.
He's tall a

My whole brain is in haywire. Roselyn was already five steps ahead. She's already planning for the wedding. I looked at Jeff for help but he's also preoccupied with Neil and Ryder, who seemed to be reporting something to him.I looked at Roselyn who sounded very delighted. I knew she cared for her son so much but she's jumping to conclusions without even trying to hear Jeff's side. She doesn't even know what Jeff has to say on this one. I am not his mate. I'm sure he doesn't want to be married to me!"You know what? The best venue for your wedding would be in the flower field," she said dreamily. "It's where his father and I got married and it's the most beautiful wedding everyone has ever seen." She took my hands in excitement.She looked at my body. "We need to plan this wedding right away!" she beamed as she stood up
Alpha Divorcee Mate 37
I was pacing back and forth in my room, biting my nails, as anxiety was taking over my whole system.I agreed to the marriage. I agreed to be his wife even though I am not his mate. I sighed in frustration and messed my hair. I groaned and stomped my feet like a child throwing a tantrum before throwing myself on the bed.I buried my face on the soft blanket as screamed in frustration. I should have lost my mind for a moment because Jeff was not the Jeff I have known for days. He sounded so dangerous and ruthless. Gone is Jeff who was sweet and caring. All I saw a while ago was a dominant alpha.I sat up abruptly and rubbed my face with my palms. " That's okay, Caitlynn," I mumbled to myself. "That's okay. He'll kill you if you don't agree." I nodded, affirming what I am telling myself. "You just agreed because you love y

"Are you ready?" Jeff asked me from the other side of the door. I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror. I am wearing a white flowy dress that Jeff asked his shopper to buy. We were supposed to buy it but Ambrose went to work and he didn't want me to go out with a stranger. Which, I don't understand.I touched the chiffon fabric and nodded in affirmation. The dress was simple but it looked so elegant when worn. And it fit me well. I wonder how the personal shopper knew my size. I don't even know if she had seen me.She also bought me a pearl white necklace that went perfectly with the dress. I have to commend the shopper's fashion sense.I wore a pair of crystal stilettoes and walked to the door to open it. Jeff was there, wearing his black three-piece suit and a silver necktie. He looked at me from head to foot before smirking. "Wow," he said in a satisfied tone. "You look… he

Sitting beside Dionessa while eating, I watched Jeff as he interacted with everyone in the room. He surely is the Alpha but he seemed friendly to everyone. He was even talking to Pyro even though he knew what Pyro's family wanted. And that's kicking him off the hierarchy. Looking at him from meters away, I can already see a glimpse of the Jeff I met in the woods, the Jeffwho took me in his house and the Ambrose who took care of me."How old are you?" Dionessa asked me out of the blue.I tore my gaze off of Jeff and turned to her. "I just turned twenty-one about two months ago," I replied. "And you?" I asked her back."I'm twenty-six, like Jeff," she replied.I nodded slowly. So, Jeff is twenty-six? I didn't know about it because I never really asked him. I wasn't planning on knowing more about him because I was only passing by. But I guess n

I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror. I am wearing an orange silk nightgown for the first time in my life because that's the only thing that I saw in the closet, aside from some branded dresses.I pouted as I walked out of the bathroom. Jeff was watching the television while sitting on the bedroom bench. He immediately turned to me and stared at me from head to foot.My cheeks immediately flushed, causing me to look down to my feet. "S-sorry. This is the only thing I saw in the closet." I started to explain."That's okay." I heard him say. "Dionessa didn't know what to buy so she just bought what she usually uses." I raised my gaze and looked at him. "You can go with her to shop tomorrow for the clothes you like."I nodded and walked towards the bed reluctantly.I stared at it and wondered if I'm sleeping in here. I stared at the couch and I

Rosemary was humming when we were inside the car. "Did you have anything in mind for your wedding dress?" she asked me."I shook my head when in reality, I have already thought about how my wedding would be like-simple and intimate. I only want a few people, the only people who mean so much to me and my groom, to come and witness it. We'll eat, celebrate and play at the reception. No elegant dresses. No expensive gifts. Just me, my groom, our family, and friends.I smiled weakly and wondered if Rosemary would consider my opinion.She smiled and held my hand, "I know this is all so quick to you and I'm sorry that I hadn't given you the room to breathe and process all of these in your system. But I'm sure that my son will treat you well," she told me. "He may look strong and authoritative but he's a sweet boy.I bit my lip and nodded. I know that Jeff is a sweet boy. I've seen him since the day he helped me. Something must have changed in the way I look at

"Mom is meeting us the same cafe you met with Samantha later," he said, changing the topic. "Do you want to stop over somewhere before we go there?"I shrugged. "I have nothing in mind," I replied as ! continued eating. "What about you?" I asked him."I want to check the house first," he said. "I have been absent from work for days, too. Maybe we should drop by the office first before heading over the cafe."I nodded. "Sure." There's nothing I can do to stop him anyway. And besides, there's nothing wrong with it. He's probably taken a leave at work and he needs to prepare for our wedding. Who knows what could be happening in their company? And that's what we did. After eating breakfast, we immediately drove to his mansion. I went to check on the flowers in the garden. It's been two days since I last came here so I decided to water them quickly. I worked so hard to keep them alive. They can't die on me now. I had fun talking to them sometimes.Jeff came do

Dior sighed. "Babe, you just drank two glasses. Don't tell me you're already drunk?" she asked in a disappointed tone. I shook my head. "I'm just dizzy." I replied as I felt my whole world spinning around. "Shit," she cussed. "Alpha's going to kill me." I heard her say before pulling me up to take me somewhere. I was struggling to walk properly because of my wavy vision. I just realized that we're inside the restroom when I heard the water running down the faucet with Dior trying to wipe my face with a wet handkerchief. I took the cloth from her and did it myself.. "I can't believe someone would get tipsy over two glasses of wine, Wine!" she exasperated. "I never thought I'd meet someone with a low alcohol tolerance rate as you." I groaned and gargled. "Are we going home?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes before dialing a number. "Hello, Jeff," she started and my eyes widened. I wanted to stop her but I am still dizzy and I still can't stand strai
