Angelic

chapter 3

Ophelia looked up at Alexander and gave him a big smile.

" let's go meet momma. she's gonna be so happy now that i've found a friend!" she said excited.

Alexander, on the other hand, was not so thrilled. He knew how people reacted when they first saw him. He exudes power and dominance, something that makes most uncomfortable and shiver with fear. Not everyone is as pure as his angel. nevertheless, he smiles back at his mate and lets her drag her downstairs. this is gonna be interesting he thought.

"Hey momma! How was the bakery? Oh oh look i've made a friend" She tells her mother happily.

Cecelia froze in her place by the door, looking at the stranger in her home. How could her daughter think it was ok to invite a total stranger into their home. As she smells the room, she realizes just who this dominant man holding her daughter's hand is. The Lycan king. no it can't be she thought. Her daughter's mate cannot be him.

" sweetheart, where did you meet him? Come here honey please," she said fearfully, holding her hand out to her.

" Oh momma we met near the lake, we had a picnic together a-and i shared my sweets with him. His name is Alex!" she exclaimed, confused by her mother's attitude. Why did she look so afraid of her giant friend?

Alex noticed when he walked in that her mate's mother wasn't human. She was a hybrid. That's why she's afraid of him. she recognized his scent. Which also meant, she knew about his cruel reputation. she might try to take her away from him, but he's not going to let that happen.

" Hello Ms. Jackson, it's a pleasure to meet you ," he said smoothly, holding his hand out.

Cecelia gave him a hesitant look but shook his hand none the less. She knew this was a problem now. She hasn't told her daughter about mates. Ophelia had an overall knowledge of the supernatural world. many years ago, before Ophelia was born, when the war broke between humans and supernaturals, the supernatural won, declaring domination against the world. She knew about who they were, but other than their existence, she knew nothing about the outside world. Her mother made sure to keep her hidden from the dangers, sheltering her in their little cottage. The new system was oppressive towards pure humans, which was the reason for her mother's precautions. Cecelia didn't want her little girl to be bullied or mocked in any way for the way she was born.

" Momma i showed Alex the new teacups you bought! oh and also my room!" Ophelia said, breaking the awkward silence.

Her mother gave her a soft smile, hugging her and telling her that she's proud of her for being social. She knew that the mate bond has caused her daughter to be social to the lycan king, as she was always a shy and quite character around new people.

"sweetheart, it's your bedtime now, why don't you say goodbye to your friend and go upstairs hmm?" Her mother said, with the gentle voice she always uses for her precious girl.

"oh ok, but can i see him again please? he said he wants to take me out for breakfast momma i'm so excited i haven't eaten outside food in soooo long!" she said to her mother, pleading with her eyes.

Cecelia smiled and nodded. Ophelia squealed and ran up to Alex hugging him. He hugged her back, tightly and kissed her hair, basking in her scent for a little longer.

"i'll see you tomorrow Alex! goodnight," She said, yawning as she ran upstairs to her room.

Cecelia looked over to the lycan and motioned with her hand towards the living room. they both sat and Alex waited for her to talk.

"so I'm guessing you are her mate then? she's never this talkative with people she just met," she said, raising an eyebrow.

" Yes, I am, and i hope you don't plan on doing anything to keep us apart, because i will simply not allow it," he said, voice booming with slight anger and dominance.

"of course not, i know first hand the pain of not being with your other half, i wouldn't want my daughter to go through the pain i have," she said, remembering her late husband and mate. She lost him when Ophelia was 2 years old, to cancer. Because he was human, there was nothing they could do.

Alex sighed with relief, not wanting to fight with his mate's mother. He could see the pain in her eyes as she talked about her mate. He never wishes the loss of a mate on anyone. it was the most painful thing a wolf could go through. They say it feels like your would and body being ripped in half.

" i haven't told Ophelia much about mates, to be completely honest i didn't think she would have one. she's a human, after all and all she really knows about the supernatural are the basics and the fact that they govern our world. So you are going to have to explain to her what mates are i'm afraid" She said, looking into the eyes of the king. It was considered disrespect towards him if someone looked into his eyes without permission, but since she was someone her angel loved, he let it go.

"Don't worry mam, i will take care of my flower and spoil her however she wants. I've waited a decade for my mate, and i think i can explain the importance of the bond to her as she's already started to feel the effects of it," He said, assuring the woman in front of her.

"Well then, you should probably get going, it's getting late," she said, standing up.

Cecelia walked the lyacn king to the door and bud him farewell. Her mind occupied with the worry of her daughter's safety and the hope of seeing her happy with the intimidating man.
