What the freaking hell!She must be kidding!What is wrong with my mother? Why the hell would she think that I need a father at this age? I’m almost twenty for crying out loud.What do I need a father for? To spoon feed me? Or to read me a bedtime story?Like hell!When will my mother see that I’m a fully grown woman and I don’t need a father? Not at this age.Besides, the guy looks nothing like dad material. I mean, he’s too handsome to be.I ran up to my room, leaving my mother and her boyfriend or should I say my new dad or…. Mate. I don’t even know how to address him.Urgh… can things get any worse for me?Wasn’t Jake’s betrayal enough pain for one night? Why did the goddess have to add this?With my back to the door, I sat on the floor and hugged my knees as I tried to recall all that happened.All I saw was his smiling face and his tightly knitted abs.What the hell, Zel!What am I thinking?I tapped my cheek to take a reality check. This is totally wrong.I mean, could it be an error from above? Like a mismatch or something.I find it hard to believe that I spent two years waiting for my mate and now that my wolf finally cried mate, it had to be my mom’s boyfriend. My supposed would-be dad.It sounds gross.Well, not so gross though. It would have been gross if he was an old man with a bald head and a pot belly. But this is the outright opposite.The guy is a handsome stud, with badass abs and tight biceps. I just can't get over the sight.“Zelda. Baby, open the door,” Mom knocked fervently.She was worried. I knew she would with the way I took to my heels at the sight of her boyfriend.“I’m fine mom. I just need to rest,” I managed to say.I do not want to be the reason why my mom worries. She deserves all the happiness in the world after all she’s been through.“But you didn’t even say hi to Drake. Don’t you like him?”Like him? Really?“Mom, I….” My words got stuck on my tongue as he spoke.“Let her be, Hon, she will be fine.”Oh my.Was that a human? He speaks like a god.His baritone is divine.I’ve never heard anything like it.I mean, how is it even possible to be so complete?“Yes mom. I’ll be fine,” I agreed.“Alright baby, I’ll call you when it’s time for dinner.”I exhaled sharply.Mom won’t let me off unless I agree to that at least. “Alright Mom,” I concurred.I waited until I heard mom’s receding steps before I went to bed. I buried myself behind the sheets and shut my eyes in an attempt to think of all that had happened, but there was only his image reappearing.Even though I still felt bitter in some parts of my heart from Jake’s betrayal, my mind still brings me back to the hot stud in my house.*********I woke up to the loud singing of the goldfinch right outside my window. With my hand emplaced on my forehead, I hissed as I was greeted by a headache.Slowly, I sat up and caught a glimpse of the time on my bedside clock. I jumped as I saw the time.Oh my freaking goodness!I was out of bed and on my feet running straight to the bathroom.I slept in. I fucking slept in!It’s past 8am and I’m still in bed. I can’t believe that I slept past my resumption time. Now Randolph is going to bite my ears off.I work as a waitress in a concession store a few miles away from my house.My boss, Randolph Smith, is a pro at whining. He never stops. Especially when he has a good reason to, and right now, I just presented the perfect excuse to chew my brains out.I geared myself up in a white retro shirt and blue jeans, paired with white sneakers. I picked up my backpack and dashed off.The house was extremely quiet as I ran down the stairs. As usual, mom had breakfast packed for me. I picked up my food and sent it straight to my backpack and dashed off to the garage.However, for the first time ever, I found my truck missing in the garage.Mom doesn’t drive. Who could have taken my car?Damnit! My supposed dad probably did.As soon as he came up, I was immediately reminded of what happened yesterday.Who the f*ck is this guy and why did my wolf call him mate?‘Because he’s our mate, dummy.’I looked behind me in search of the one who had just spoken. Even though I had an inkling who it was, I just couldn’t believe it.After the night I first shifted, my wolf never spoke to me afterwards. I thought she was disappointed or displeased over the body she had to reside in. Apparently she was hiding because we hadn’t found our mate.She spent two years sulking.‘I wasn’t sulking,’ Snow yelled in my head.I ignored her and chose to focus on getting to work. I could shift and run in my wolf form, but I'd have to take a detour through the woods and that would take longer.Walking was no fun either, so I chose to run.I had only run for a few seconds when my gray Peugeot truck suddenly parked in front of me. The window rolled down and his auburn air came into view.Oh shit!Why did it have to be him? And why now?As if I wasn’t haunted enough by his unearthly beauty, he had to burden me with his genial smile as he said, “You do not mind a lift, do you?”Related chapters
My Father My Mate New Boss
Zelda“Thank you,” I muttered as I stepped out of the truck.“Pleasure is all mine munchkin.” He smiled. Munchkin? Seriously? He’s gone into daddy mode. Already?I scoffed inwardly and shook my head as I turned to leave. Taking another look at my wristwatch, I sighed in exasperation as I stepped inside the store. I was thirty minutes late. I just hope that Randolph leaves some crumbs from my brain after chewing on it. I could survive on that. “If it isn’t princess Zelda.”Randolph was right at the door as I stepped in. He seemed to be waiting there for me. “I had a fever,” I lied. Without waiting for him to speak further, I went into the changing room to change into my work suit. It was a yellow polo shirt with the store’s logo written boldly on it. “Oh really?” Randolph was right behind me, manning the door. “I’m so lucky to have you here right now,” he gasped dramatically. I rolled my eyes and smacked my lips. The man is one hell of a drama king. “I’m fine now,” I said as

My Father My Mate Snatch Her Happiness
Zelda"You called for me." I mumbled as I arrived in his cabin. "Come in."I stepped inside to find him sitting elegantly. His back turned to me as he swivelled the chair. "Yes sir," I tried to sound formal. It took a lot of effort for me to stay focused. His scent was all over. His auburn hair shone like the setting sun. I was tempted to touch and ruffle his hair, but I managed to stay within my limit. I stood there for goddess knows how long, yet he didn't say a word. He seemed determined to torture me.

My Father My Mate Keep Enemies Closer
Drake“I, Zelda Grayson, reject you as my mate.”I watched and listened in awe. I couldn’t close my mouth. At first, I thought my ears were playing tricks on me. I mean, how could she reject me? Did I do something wrong?Last I checked, I did nothing wrong at all. So why? Why on earth did she reject me?I am the most sought bachelor in the land and this tiny little thing dares to reject me? I find it so unbelievable. I mean, I find it so hard to believe that she just rejected me. I must have heard wrong.I ignored the pain in my chest and tried to hold her once again but, she moved away before I could. Her beautiful ocean-blue eyes held no emotion at all. She stood straight and firm on her decision.“Now, we share no bond. You can be with my mom.”Seriously? She isn’t just a young kitten. She is naive too.I mean, how much does she understand the bond? Does she think that everything ends with just her rejection?I scoffed in disbelief and stared at the cute little kitten before me.Sh
My Father My Mate Angel Drake
ZeldaDid I do the right thing by rejecting him? I have asked myself that question several times but I got no answer. All I know is that I'm willing to go to any length to give my mother the joy she deserves. If rejecting my long-awaited mate can give her that then it's fine. I went straight to the restroom after leaving Drake's cabin. Tears flowed freely on my face as I sat in the water closet. I could do nothing to stop it. I don't know if the tears were from my aching heart or my distraught memory. It's hardly been two days since Jake's betrayal, and now this. I clutched my chest as the pain hit me hard. I wonder why I am suddenly feeling so much pain in my heart since I broke my bond with Drake. I sat in the closet and buried my head between my Lap, letting the tears rain down. I was in pain. My heart was in shambles. I don't know why the tears won't stop when It was my own decision to reject my mate. I stood up abruptly after several minutes of crying. I couldn't even
My Father My Mate What They Deserve
Zelda"Why don't you shove it down your bitchy throat!" I wanted to scream as the smoothie splattered across my face and attacked my eyes. I bit my lips and chose to keep my pain in. I wouldn't want to give Cindy the joy of seeing me cry. "What did you do!" Gina screamed and immediately took my hand to lead me to the bathroom but I stopped her and shook my head. It's improper and unethical if we both leave the counter. There'd be no one to attend to the customers and that would seem unprofessional and I'm sure that Randolph wouldn't like that and neither would Drake. I wouldn't want to overstep after what I did back there. "But ..." Gina protested. I brushed my hand through my face so that I could open my eyes and see her. I smiled and winked, assuring her that I am okay. "Stay back and attend to the customers."Gina knew that I was right so she didn't argue. She returned to the counter and I proceeded to leave. I took one last look at Jake and my heart shattered at the apathe
My Father My Mate Shit Face
Drake"It's been two years," Randolph replied.Hm. Two years, huh?"So, Zelda has been hanging around that...." I paused as I realized that I was about to speak a cuss word. ".....Jake for two years.""Yes, Your Majesty.""Alright. I want you to keep an eye on them."Randolph frowned and raised his head to look at me. "As you know, Zelda is my stepdaughter. So it's only right if I watch over her."Randolph nods in understanding. "Yes sir.""Good. You may leave."I placed an envelope on the table before closing my eyes. I heard the closing sound of the door and knew at once that he was gone. With my head on the headrest. Eyes closed. Hand safely tucked by my side, I swivelled the chair around and thought about all that just happened. I know that I shouldn't be so affected or bothered by what Zelda did, but I don't know why I feel aggrieved. At first, I thought it was because of the pain of rejection but soon it became clear to me that something in me was wounded. Zelda wounded my
My Father My Mate Little Miss Froggy
Drake"Well, here at Dolph Store, if you make a mess, you clean it up."The look on Froggy's face was worth the drama. I mean, she looked like she would scream out her lungs and tear me apart but she had to keep all that anger to herself as she noticed that I wasn't going to change my mind. She looked at her Fiancé instead. "You're joking, right?" Jake's brow raised defiantly. He looked like he would start a war. "You don't want to find out." I handed the bucket to him and stepped farther away, motioning for them to begin. Miss Froggy picked the mop with her nose twisted funnily. "Are you just going to stand by and let us get insulted?" Her voice was full of hope and somewhat authoritative. She was expecting Jake to put up a fight or a protest and honestly, so was I.I wanted to see how daring my cousin is, and how he fights to defend his honour. I usually do not get involved in such silly fights but this young man standing before me was born to a man I'd do anything to kill.

My Father My Mate Epilogue
DrakeThree years later.I stood at the grave, my hands clutching the flowers I had brought. My kids stood beside me, their eyes fixed on the stone before them. I took a deep breath, clearing my throat. “Owen looks exactly like you,” I said, my voice quivering. “I know you're not here, but occasionally I believe you are.” I paused, my eyes hard as I looked at my kids. “He's as strong as you are. He's selfless, just like you. You would have loved him.” The words hung in the air, heavy with emotion.“Sometimes it's difficult to believe that you're not here with us, that I won't ever hear your voice again or feel your touch. Sometimes I think it's all a nightmare, that I'll wake up and everything will be like it was before. But I never do. The truth is, life without you is hard. I find it hard to trust anyone, to open up to anyone. “My kids ran off, giggling as they chased each other through the grass. I got up to follow them, making sure they didn't go too far. As I walked over to whe
My Father My Mate Getting Better
ZeldaNine Months Later.I looked in the mirror, my eyes drawn to the slight bulge in my belly. I placed my hand on my stomach, feeling the life within. It was a strange sensation, one that filled me with both joy and fear. I was growing, my body changing, my life changing. But I was still me, still whole. And that was all that mattered to me. I traced my fingers over my cheeks, feeling the slight swelling of my nose. Drake said I looked beautiful, but I couldn't see it. All I saw was a monster. But he loved me anyway.He still wasn't happy that I was keeping the pregnancy, but I knew in my heart that this was the right decision. I wanted to have this child, to give Drake the heir he deserved. He might not have needed it, but the pack did. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the challenge ahead. I could do this. I could be strong for both myself and my child. I placed my hand on my stomach again, feeling the flutter of new life within. And I smiled.The door to my room burst o
My Father My Mate Some Space
ZeldaI couldn't tell how long I'd been unconscious, but when I opened my eyes, my head was pounding. I struggled to sit up, but someone helped me, supporting my weight. I looked up, and my heart sank. It was Drake. His expression was unreadable, and I was unable to remember the last time he had smiled. “Where's my family?” I asked, my voice breaking. I was afraid of the answer. “The doctor had asked that we give you some space,” he said. I nodded, my mind racing. He was staring at me with a strange look in his eyes, and I knew something was wrong. “What is it?” I asked, my heart in my throat. “Nothing,” he said, his voice monotone. I knew he was lying. We'd known each other for too long. He knew I could see right through him. I waited, the silence weighing on me like a heavy blanket. “Just tell me,” I said, my voice shaking. He let out a long sigh. “You're pregnant,” he said, his voice low and serious. My jaw dropped, and I looked down at my stomach. “I thought about what the
My Father My Mate Be Strong
ZeldaI heard footsteps approaching, and my heart leapt into my throat. A guard appeared, a limp body slung over his shoulder. He dropped the body on the floor, and I held my breath, dreading what I would see. The guard stood back, his face pale. “He's dead,” he said, his voice flat. I forced myself to take a step forward, my knees shaking. I knelt beside the body, my hands trembling as I reached out to touch it. I pulled back the blood-stained cloak, revealing the face of Jake.“Jake, the Fierce,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “Don't do this. You can't leave like this.” I reached out to touch his cold cheek, my hands shaking. I looked down at him, my heartbreaking as I took in his broken body. “Please… please don't go.” I cradled his body in my arms, my tears falling like rain.My mother rushed to my side, her arms wrapping around me. “Shh, my dear. Be strong,” she murmured. Drake stood in front of me, his eyes hard and unyielding. His arms were crossed behind his back, hi
My Father My Mate Burn Her
ZeldaI felt Jake's hand slip from my grasp, and I heard a sickening thud as he hit the rocks below. I wanted to believe he was still alive, but I knew it was a futile hope. I sank to my knees, my eyes fixated on the jagged cliff that loomed before me. “Jake! Jake! Jake!” I heard Drake’s voice as he called out, but the only response was the echo of his own voice. Desperately, Drake yelled again, his voice hoarse and cracking. But there was no reply, only a heavy silence. I turned to Drake, his expression unreadable. “Let's go,” he said quietly, his voice heavy with grief. “No!” I cried, shaking my head. “We have to find him! We have to save him!” I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I couldn't accept that he was gone. Drake took my face in his hands, his eyes filled with sadness. “He's dead, Zelda,” he said softly, his voice cracking. “I'm so sorry.” I shook my head, refusing to accept that Jake was gone, and then I freed myself from hi
My Father My Mate Took Poison
Zelda“Help!” I screamed, my voice hoarse with fear. My claws were digging into the wall, my muscles straining as I fought to stay in place. But I could feel myself slipping, and I knew I couldn't hold on much longer. My eyes darted to the ground below, my heart racing as I thought of the fate that awaited me if I fell. I heard the guards. Drake and Jake were shouting, but I was unable to make out what they were saying. I closed my eyes, my mind spinning as I tried to find a way out of this.I howled in desperation, the sound tearing from my throat. “Zelda!” I heard Drake call, his voice echoing through the cavernous space. I opened my eyes, straining to see him through the darkness. He was standing on the edge of the cliff, his arms outstretched toward me. But it was no use. I was too far away, the space between us was too great. “I can't reach you, Drake,” I cried, my voice cracking. He took a step closer, his eyes pleading. “Just try, Zelda,” he said, his voice shaking.I strugg
My Father My Mate Dare To Betray
ZeldaDesperate, I reached out with my mind, trying to connect with Drake. To my relief, I felt him there, his mind close and receptive. I tried to send him to our location, hoping he could understand my message. Suddenly, I felt his presence grow stronger. He was coming, and he was coming fast. I sent him another message, pleading with him to hurry. He responded, his mind filled with a sense of urgency and determination.Cindy's wolf was impossibly fast, making it difficult for me to shift into my wolf form. I heard a loud growl in the distance, and my heart leapt. I knew that growl, that deep, angry sound. It was Drake, coming to save me. I just had to hold on until he got here. But I could feel my strength waning, and I knew I wouldn't last much longer. I had to find a way to keep myself safe, and quickly.Suddenly, Cindy's wolf stopped, her ears perked up and her body tensed. I could tell she had heard Drake, too. She turned to face him, her tail low and her eyes blazing with hat
My Father My Mate Convinced To Lie
ZeldaThe cold water stung my face, jolting me into consciousness. I squinted against the bright light, my eyes taking a moment to adjust. I could feel my wrists and ankles bound, my body aching with the strain of being tied up. My head pounded, a dull ache spreading from the base of my skull. As I took stock of my surroundings, I noticed that I was in a small stone room, the only light coming from a small window high above my head. The room was bare, save for a single wooden chair in the corner.The last thing I remembered was a sudden, blinding pain as something hit me on the head. Now, here I was, tied up and at the mercy of Cindy, a woman who had always been a pest in my life.“Why are you doing this?” I asked, my voice cracking with fear. Cindy's smirk only widened, her dark eyes glittering with malice. “Oh, you know what you did,” she said, her voice dripping with venom. I tried to think of what I could have done to make her so angry, but my mind was blank.“We were friends, C
My Father My Mate Nothing But Darkness
Zelda“My lady,” a voice called from behind me, making me jump. I turned around to see a maid standing there, her gaze fixed firmly on the floor. “Your room is ready,” she said, her tone deferential. “How many miles is it from here to Cindy's grandmother's house?” I asked, my voice betraying my anxiety. The maid hesitated, then said, “I do not know, my lady.” I felt a wave of frustration, but I bit my tongue. “Thank you,” I said, my tone cool.I pulled the curtains closed, blocking out the moonlight. With a weary sigh, I let my shoulders slump. “My lady,” the maid said, “I hope you find the room to your liking.” I nodded my thanks, too tired to speak. She left me alone, and I entered the room, closing the door behind me. I sank onto the bed, its softness enveloping me. The silence was broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall. I felt a wave of exhaustion wash over me, and I closed my eyes, my thoughts swirling.I felt my blood boil as I thought of what that woman had d
