The Secret Mate

Chapter 8

I sat in my room the rest of the night, alone. After the small dinner my father had given me I came back to my room and silently cried as I ate. I felt unwanted. It seems that my father only wants me to do what he wants.

He doesn't understand what it's like to have a real mate. My mother and him never found that. Their relationship started like the one he wants me to have with Alpha Sean, the feelings have just formed through the years. Technically I'll be a Luna, that's what he wants me to be, but a secret one that he may never know about.

I've been laying in my bed for a couple of hours now, watching the sun come up ;It smiled at me through my windows. Today is the day Nolan is suppose to be retreating me, but with guards outside my door, the trip probably won't be smooth. During my spurts of sadness and anger I managed to pack my things that I could be taking with me so I could just leave as soon as he came to get me.

I smelt the food that was being made downstairs, but most likely my father was down there and I didn't want to face him. I think the move he pulled on me was a shitty one. Who doesn't allow their child to eat?

I decided I would some what try this morning so literally crawling out of bed I made my way to the shower. I looked at myself in my mirror after starting the shower, I looked like a dead corpse. Small drool stains were on the sides of my mouth along with dried tears and my hair in small knots.

After my long shower I mentally prepared myself for what would come downstairs, that's if my stupid security team would allow me to go downstairs. I just threw on a graphic tee with some sweat pants before attempting my father. As I opened the door I noticed no one was there. Dead silence. That was the oddest thing, especially for this pack. We weren't the crazy obnoxious pack but we weren't quiet either.

Being the nosy person I am, I walked down the stairs as quiet as a predator hunting its prey. I still smelt food in the kitchen, but it was like everyone had just disappeared. Stepping into the foyer I saw no one in the living room, which had the television still playing, and I saw no one in the kitchen or dining.

I started to walked around towards the back lawn to see if everyone went out there, but then in the dead silence my stomach had to growl. I was so caught up being nosy that I forgot the main reason why I came down stairs. Forgetting about the backyard I went to the kitchen finding very little food left over, but I didn't care it was food.

I sat in the dinning room chomping on my apple looking at my cuticles thinking of how much I really needed to get them done. I wanted to watch television so as I was walking towards the living room when the front door swung open. "Ahhh!" I instantly screamed, but soon ended up thrown over the man's shoulder as he ran out the door. "Let go of me you asshole!" I yelled at him, but that was no use. He kept running to the forest.

I had no clue to where I was going, but all I knew was that I was being kidnapped. The man was hot, but not as hot as Nolan. He kept running for what seemed like forever, but in reality was only five minutes. He started to slow down a bit, smells started to invade my nose and I knew something was going on, and it wasn't good. My kidnapper came to a full stop behind a barrier of men waiting for direction. "Bring her here." A demanding voice said, it was ranked of power, I didn't recognized it until his smell engulfed me.

"Mate!" My wolf basically shouted at me through our link. I instantly became excited to see Nolan. The man followed his orders and brought me to stand beside Nolan.

Nolan never took his eyes off my fathers but he did wrap his arm around me, bringing me closer to him. He was very tense and angry. Some shit went down on his way here. "I will be taking Katharine home with me, where she will become Beta-Female." Nolan said in a very harsh tone, a tone that only an Alpha has. "No, that is not good enough!" My father yelled back, his vein on his forehead popping out. "She is Luna material!"

"Katharine, you come back here this instant!" My father yelled at me. "No." I took Nolan by the hand and pulled him to the back of the group signaling it was time to leave. He got the hint and instantly followed.
