My Alpha Mate

Werewolf

The werewolf men and women are all
dark-haired and tan. Most of them have dark
eyes, deep brown, and some have green in
them, like me. But none of them look like lan-
light tanned with blue eyes and light brown
hair.
"Where did you find this lady?" he finally
speaks.
"Dad!" I shout, shocked at his words. My
brothers are dying out of laughter on the other
side.
"Oh, chill out, Lily. I'm only messing with you.
Come on in!"
"I'm so sorry," I mouth to lan as our dad
gestures us into the house.

We spent the entire day talking, laughing, and
eating. My brothers seem to like lan a lot. They
think he's very fun. I do, too.
My dad, on the other hand, barely spoke a few
words to him. I will pin it to him missing me
very much, so he is paving me his full attention. Even though deep down I know he is
hoping I would find somebody else. From the
pack, preferably
I suddenly feel like it's time to do what I came
for.
"Dad, there's something I want to tell you," I spill
it out without delay. The sooner I do it the
better.
I now have the attention of my brothers as well.
"lan and ..." I nod, "well, we're getting married."
My dad drops his fork and they all stare at me.
lan takes my hand into his and smiles. "We
would very much like to have your blessing."
My dad still stares at me, and I notice his eyes
are welling up. I can't tell the reason behind it,
though, but my psychology skills tell me it isn't
pure happiness.
"Well," he looks at his plate and picks his fork
up, "you have it." Then he continues eating.
The awkward silence entails the table, so my
brothers hurry to stuff their mouths as well Jamie is the only one smiling.
"Congratulations, Lily!" He stands up and goes
around the table to squeeze me into a tight
hug.
"Thank you, Jamie," I kiss his cheek.
