Mates For Life

Everything looked so beautiful in the backyard. There were gorgeous wild plants near a path, which had small pebbles leading to the woods. It took my breath away, it reminded me of when Vincent proposed to me. There were beautiful flower bushes that gave off a lovely scent. Everything looked so pretty and perfect, I can't thank this pack enough for this. I walked with Vincent and looked at the tables. The tables had beautiful pink lotus flowers in the center with candles that were unlit. I gasped when I saw... my father. My heart began to panic, Vincent straightened himself up and walked us over to him. '' You are not from my pack sir, who are you and what are you doing on my property?'' Vincent asked. My father looked a bit sad but answered him, '' I have come to see my daughter, Sage'' he said. 

I angrily stared at him, I don't want to have anything to do with him! Vincent looked at me and sighed, ''In my office please. This way'' he said and started walking. I followed behind him, not ever looking at my father. Why did he have to come and ruin my wedding day?! Things were so perfect when he was gone. I sighed sadly and squeezed Vincent's hand, he gently rubbed my palm with his thumb. Soon we entered his office and sat down. I grabbed a chair and sat next to Vincent and away from my dad. My dad on the other hand, sat in front of us. I looked away and stared at pictures of Vincent. '' Like I mentioned before, what are you doing on my property?'' Vincent said, breaking the silence.

I peeked at my dad and then back to the wall, he stiffened and answered. '' I want my daughter back. She belongs with me.'' he said. I angrily looked at him and spoke through gritted teeth. ''Don't fucking come crying back to me when you kicked me out! You didn't want me anymore! I am happy and safe here!'' I said. He gave me a serious face, just like he would when I would curse at a young age. I glared at him back, he can't hurt me. '' Yes, you did indeed kick your own daughter out of your pack. I will not allow my wife to leave this pack.'' Vincent said. I can feel myself shaking, as if I want to shift in my wolf. 'Breathe' Vincent said through the mind link. I took a deep breathe and exhaled when my father spoke. 

'' I am sorry for that.'' he whispered, ''don't apologize to me'' Vincent said and looked back at me. '' I am sorry Sage, I am sorry for forcing you to leave our pack and-'' he said but I cut him off. ''Your pack, not ours!'' I said, raising my voice. I looked at Vincent and back at my dad, ''this is where I belong. I get all the love and care I need here. I am married to the man of my dreams and we have a baby on the way. I will not leave this pack.''. He slowly stood up and glared at Vincent, ''you got my daughter pregnant?!'' he yelled and shook violently. ''Quit acting foolish and sit down!'' Vincent yelled and stood. My dad slowly sat down, but never left Vincent's furious eyes. '' We wanted a baby so here it is. She is old enough to do what she wants'' he yelled. 

'' Sage, please come home. Just leave this maniac and be with me. You are my daughter and I need you, just please forgive me.'' My dad said and grabbed my arm, I bit his arm and yanked mine away. '' Get out before I kill you! Never return here'' I said furiously. Vincent was next to him and held his shoulders. ''Leave now, and never return'' he whispered and let my dad go. My father looked at me with tears that held remorse. Right there something snapped, my anger slowly faded. I blinked and then he was gone. Vincent stood at the same spot, glaring at him as he left. A tear wanted to burst, but I held it in. I would not cry back to my dad, no matter what.

Then I feel Vincent all over me, I closed my eyes and squeezed him lightly. He rubbed small circles on my back and spoke gentle words to me. ''Don't blame yourself Sage, he hurt you and you deserve better.'' he said and kissed my neck. I sighed sadly and nodded, I just want to go outside and mix in the fun. Vincent slowly let go and swept me in his arms, I laughed and held his neck. Before we left his office, he slowly placed his lips on mines and kissed me so softly. I smiled and pressed into the kiss, it feels peaceful when I am comforted by Vincent. I then let go and pecked his cheek as he started walking.
