The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Kendrix

“I am not going to lie, I am curious but I didn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable by asking, I will rather you tell me when you are ready,”

I explained.

“Wow, you are very considerate, how did I not know you before? Maybe we would have been friends before I left O-when,”

She said, I had doubts, I didn’t even want to be associated with anyone when I first got here and eight years ago, I was in no position of being anyone’s friend, I hated everyone and isolated myself for more than a year.

“So? What happened? Don’t you have a family here? Why did you need to leave your best friend’s house if you guys did not fight?”

I asked, I assumed they were not fighting seeing that she was staying solely for her friend’s wedding.

“Yeah, we didn’t fight, and I do have a family here, in fact, the reason I had to leave Rose’s was because of my dad,”

She revealed and I looked at her in confusion.

“How so?’

I asked when she didn’t continue immediately, she let out a sad laugh.

“My dad is the definition of a devil, at least to me, he has been a bad person to me since the day I was born, he never loved me or cared for me, and now suddenly, he wants me to do things his way, I refused and his way of punishing me is isolate me, it is not the first time though, I have been isolated my whole life, if I didn’t leave, Rose family would suffer and I don’t want that to happen, that’s why I left”

She said and I could feel the pain in her voice as she said each word. I didn’t know who her father was but I really wanted to have a conversation with him and not in a good way, who fathers a child and not love them? Even my dad took care of me when I moved in, his wife did too even though I was the fruit of her mate’s cheating, she never took it out on me, so why would a father not love his child? And her mother too, why would she let that happen?

“What about your mom? Surely your mom can’t hate you right?”

I asked.

“Yeah, I think she would have loved me if she was here but I guess I will never know because I never got to meet her,”

She said in a sad voice, I felt bad for her, it must have been devastating to lose her mom at a young age, and maybe that’s why Raul bonded with her so easily, they kind of experienced similar things even though Raul experienced four times the pain.

“I am sorry for your loss, she must have been as beautiful as you are,”

I said and regretted the words immediately, this wasn’t the time to compliment her beauty. “I am sorry if that came out wrong,”

I apologized.

“No, it is fine, by the way, she was pretty from the photos I have seen of her but I didn’t get to meet her in person to know how pretty she was,”

She revealed and I finally realized what that meant, she never met her mom which means the woman must have died during her birth.

“Oh, my gosh, I am so sorry,”

I said. That was all I could say because I didn’t know what else to say to console her, she smiled wearily.

“I am good, just that I stole my dad’s mate for life and he hated me for it and never forgave me,”

She further revealed, as much as I understand her father’s pain of losing his mate, I mean I lost mine eight years ago and I still mourn her, but I would never have taken it out on our child if Veronica and I have had one, never, there was simply no excuse for making your child feel unloved.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“That’s not an excuse to not care for you and love you,”

I responded and I meant it, if Veronica and I had a child, I would have protected the child with my life, and I would have given all the love I couldn’t give to the mom to the child, there was no way I would have neglected the child I had with the woman I loved, a child that came as a result of our love, it just didn’t sit right with me no matter how I think about it, Arielyn’s father failed both his dead wife and their child, letting her feel this unloved and unaccepted was an unforgivable sin the way I see it.

“Oh, he cared alright, I got all material things but that’s all I got, I didn’t get my family, I don’t even know anything about my older brothers, growing up, they never spoke to me, and even after father sent me out of the country, not once did my brothers try to come to visit me,”

She revealed.

“That’s awful,”

“Right, they didn’t have to, I stole their mom and my dad’s mate, George Embry, and his sons never forgave me even though I was a victim too, in their eyes and their hearts, I took her away, therefore, I don’t deserve to be one of them.

She added and my jaw dropped at the name she mentioned.
