Alpha Aiden And His Human Mate

Chapter 9

Melanie Pov

A noisy ringing of my phone wakes me up from my intense sleep.

I whine, silently cussing at whoever decided to annoy me this early. I needed that sleep so fucking much.

Grabbing the phone from my bedside table, I answer it without checking who the caller is, and to my dismay, it is someone I didn't want to contact me.

Way to tarnish my lovely morning.

"What?" Rude, I know

"Melanie, it's your father" I roll my eyes at his intro.

Of course, I knew that, I'm not silly. He's been blowing my phone like forever.

"How may I help you? 'Father' " I add sarcastically, dragging out 'Father'

"We need to talk, you have to hear me out" he pleads

"I'm all ears, talk" I don't mean to be rude.

I'm making an effort to be as polite as possible by talking to him.

"Can we maybe meet physically " Why the hell does he keep pleading? Of course, I'm not meeting him. I'm still extremely mad at him.

"I'm quite busy, I don't think it will be possible so this might be your only chance" I mutter dismissively.

"Okay, I understand," he says sadly with a sigh.

As much as I sound unaffected, this shit hurt.

I sigh tucking the detached strands of my hair behind my ears. The man abandoned me, and 18 years later he wants to talk?

Am I that disposable?

You can do this mel, you've always been a tough girl.

"How may I help you,?" I attempt to sound strong. I don't want my voice breaking at this moment.

"I'm sorry, I did what I did to keep you safe" he begins softly.

"Protecting me from what?" I ask with all the curiousness in me.

"There is a lot you don't know, and I wanted to keep it that way, but now I think you deserve to know" I remain quiet and he carries on.

"I met your mother when I was young. She was my human mate and everything to me ' She made me happy Mel" his voice quivers at the end and I almost feel bad for him.

"A year later after our meeting, she became pregnant with you. My parents had created enemies in their line of work and one night our pack was attacked. They killed my parents, my two brothers, and a few pack members"

"Your mother was only 8 months pregnant when it transpired and unfortunately, they got to her too. We were able to save you and I went crazy"

"It was too much for me and I couldn't take care of you, I'm sorry. Marie and I are the only ones from my family who lived and she took you with her to hiding" he sighs and remains silent for a while.

" Continue" I murmur, doing everything so as not to cry. It's so sad.

I don't know how to feel about this.

My poor mother didn't even meet her child.

"I went crazy, my world turned upside down. To werewolves, the loss of a mate is not something easy"

" I was lost for approximately a year, my pack was perishing because I was supposed to be their alpha. It took me a while to get back to my feet and when I did, I didn't know how to face you" he explains further and I scoff. He didn't know how to face me? God knows I have waited for this man all my life. I would have been excited if he had come to me.
