Jake

"Why didn't you do anything. You just let us get humiliated. He humiliated us so badly and you couldn't do anything. Instead, you brought us more humiliation by trying to fight him." Cindy yelled. "Why did you do that?"

I listened to her nagging and chose to remain quiet, taking the time to think about what happened.

Who was that man?

Why did he take that so personal?

He was daring enough to accept my challenge and..... No. He didn't defeat me. I fell because I slipped.

The floor was slippery thanks to the smoothie so I fell because of that.

"You could have let me speak to him and we would have been spared but you spoke and got us insulted." Cindy complained in a not so low voice.

Is that so?

So now it's my fault.

I sighed and chose to remain quiet yet again. I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as I drove back home.

Who was that guy?

"Now I won't hear the end of this. Everyone will mock me," Cindy's voice again pulled me out of my thoughts.

She won't stop nagging.

    Jake"Whoever he was, he will be punished!"Shit! Looks like Zelda has told him all that happened in the Dolph Store. Why can't she just keep her mouth shut."Jake," the door opened and my father stepped in looking extremely pissed. His eyes were like a lava as he stepped in."Do you know his name?" I got to my feet as soon as he came inside. My father's anger is something I never want to experience ever again. His fury is like a volcano eruption. Hot and dangerous. "I don't know his name," I replied immediately.I couldn't look in his eyes. I know that he was disappointed but he wanted to set an example with this stranger so that everyone in Silvertail would know that they shouldn't disrespect anyone from Lucas Wayne's family. Apart from being the Alpha of Silvertail, my father was known as one of the strongest men in our part of the world. Tales of his bravery and Valor was known all around the pack and beyond. Which is why everyone feared him. "His name is Drake. Drake Orio

    Zelda "I just can't stand brats."I almost laughed out loud at the comment. I mean he just called Jake a brat. I would love to see the look on Jake's face when he hears that. "So, you punished him?" I pressed. I just wanted to know what he did to Jake. I don't know why but my mind was anxious to find out. I wanted to know what he did.Talking to Drake somehow took my mind off my pain and his humor brought a smile to my face. "I didn't punish him per se," he shrugged. "I just did what a boss should."Hmm. What a boss should do. I wonder what that is and I wonder why he doesn't want to tell me. "Then, how did....." "Tell me about you," he interjected before I could complete the statement. "About me?"Even though I knew that he had purposely evaded my question, I chose to ignore it as I wondered what he wanted to know about me. What is there to know about me? I asked myself. I am nothing but a boring lass with no friends. There is nothing to be proud of about my life and I bet

    Jake"Stay here," I ordered as I arrived at Zelda's house with Joshua and Arnold. They both didn't look like they would take the order as Joshua's face was already squeezed upward in an annoying way. I wish I could slap him to return his face to normal. He looked ugly before and just worsened it by frowning so much."The Alpha has asked us not to leave your side." Arnold was the first to speak. "So, you're disobeying me?" I snarled."No, I'm just doing as the Alpha asked." If these two weren't my father's guards, I would have snapped their necks, starting from this annoying Arnold.I don't blame them though, they are only following my father's orders and who better than me knows what the consequences of not following my father's orders are?I stepped out of the car and knocked on the door but there was no response. Out of habit, I raised the foot rug and found the keys right there. "Zelda."I shook my head and smiled at myself. I have told her several times to stop keeping the ke

    JakeI watched Zelda walk in with a smile on her face. She smiled so brightly like she wasn’t affected by the problems of the world. She didn’t look like someone that had been insulted earlier today. Her clothes were different from what she was wearing earlier.Did she change her clothes? How?Zelda never takes extra clothes to the store. She doesn’t like to do that. So, how did she get new clothes?Was that why she arrived so late? Did she go shopping for new clothes? But why is she with this arrogant man? Didn’t he say that he is her boss? Why is she here in their house?“Zelda,” I called her, just so she’d notice my presence.“Hi Jake,” She replied with a smile.Seeing her right now, she didn’t look like she had any grudge against me. She was unfazed by my presence. She wasn’t affected at all. If Zelda doesn’t mind my action, why did Cindy say she did? Why did Cindy say that Zelda refused to take her orders because she pissed that I dumped her?Did Cindy lie to me? Or is Zelda putt

    ZeldaIt felt like my heart was tearing apart as I saw my mom kissing Drake, I gulped down the jealousy and looked away immediately. I sighed and turned my attention to Jake. "We should go," I said and Jake gave me a skeptical look, I noticed he had his eyes on me and must have noticed. The way I looked at Drake and my mother kissing didn’t go unnoticed. We started walking out of the house and I saw how worried my mother was, she followed us out of the house and stood by the car “Are you sure you don’t want me to follow you?” she asked worriedly “Don’t bother Maddy, we will be fine” Drake said, and my mother nodded even though she didn’t buy his words. We went inside the car, the guards sitting at each edge of the back seat while Drake, and I was in the middle, Jake was sitting in the front and I could see him glancing at me through the rear mirror. I looked away, resting my head in the car seat, I squeezed my eyes shut, and I couldn’t wait to be done with this and go back to my h

    DrakeLucas Wayne! My dearest fucking uncle sat on the shamble he calls a throne, his eyes darted around, and they settled on Zelda, his looks were demeaning, and I fisted my hand angrily, barely holding myself from throwing a punch at him. “An urgent matter was reported to me, regarding you and your boss," he said, and I arched my brows at him. Our gaze met, and I wondered if he could see through my facade, but the way he looked at me proved he hadn’t suspected anything, which was good. “My son was harassed and Cindy was forced to mop the floor when you are fully at fault for not attending to her properly, instead of your boss apologizing, he went ahead and picked a fight with the future alpha of this pack who is meant to be respected!” Lucas said and hit his hand angrily at his throne. “Al…alpha” Zelda stuttered and I stepped forward. “Zelda and I are not meant to be blamed for what happened,” I said quickly, and all eyes fell on me. “What do you mean by that?

Why did the alpha summon both of you?” My mother asked, and my gaze fell on Drake who was now quiet.“We shouldn’t talk about this right now Mom,” I said, and she snorted moving closer to me, her eyes darted between me and Drake, before settling her gaze on me again. “We are going to talk about this right now, I need to know what’s going on. So tell me, why did the alpha summon both of you?” She insisted and Drake stepped closer. “Maddy…” my mother cut him short by raising her hand. “I don’t want to listen to any excuses, I want to know what’s going on,” my mothe

    Zelda"Who could it be at this hour?"I wondered and chose to lay down, hoping Drake or my Mother would get the door but they didn't. The doorbell rang continuously. I was irritated. I hissed loudly and lazily got out of bed to open the door. To my surprise, I found Joshua and Arnold at the door. The door was wide open and they were standing with their attention set on someone standing before them. I was about to ask what they wanted when I saw Alpha Lucas. He was standing with his back turned to me but it became clear that Joshua and Arnold were here with him. What is he doing here?Did he come here to punish us? He already decided to let things be, so why would he come here at this hour?I went closer, making sure I was walking on tiptoe as I approached them. Drake was standing in front of the Alpha confidently. He passed an envelope to the Alpha who looked stupefied as he opened the envelope. "How did you....."The Alpha was about to speak when he noticed me. He paused and s

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
