My Fathers beta... is my mate?

5

"How do you know my name?" I was trying to make sense of this but nothing made sense. Who was this man, why was he in my house, how did he know me and why was I so attracted to him.

"I'm your mate" he said calmly looking me in the eyes as if that explained everything. Still stuck to my place by the door I shouted at him " what does that even mean, mate, what are we dogs" he stepped closer cupping my cheeks in his big hands as he laughed at this, it was deep and rough I loved his laugh but I wasn't going to let him know that. "Not far off" he told me with a wink. I glared at him, he dropped his hands from my face.

Although everything about made me feel calm and comfortable but at the same time horny and magnetised to him. The unknowingness of the situation became the forefront of my mind.

Anger was what raged through me. All I wanted to do was step closer to this man that stood in front of him but I needed answers. He acted like he knew me but I didn't know him.

"Why are you laughing at me?" He stepped closer this time, his laughter stopped and he became more serious " your dad didn't speak to you?" It was his turn for confusion. His eyes looking into mine like he was searching for something, anything. Some kind of recognition. With the confusion still written on my face he began talking.

"I thought you were here because your dad had spoken to you" I shook my head. He looked a little sad before continuing. I'm sorry I got angry earlier while I was at the window. Your dad didn't tell me you were coming home."

"And why on earth would he tell you" a flash of hurt crossed his face but he carried on talking.

"Isabel, you should really talk to your dad about it".

I was so confused but went to walk away to go to find my dad but before I could leave. He pressed up against me from behind hugging my small frame. "I've really missed you Bella" I froze I didn't know what to do. Sensing my uneasiness he let me go and stepped away. As I walked away he said in a sad voice "I'm Xander by the way".

I ran to my dads office. I knew where it was as I had passed it on the way as I was looking for his room. Xanders room. It was weird to say it, even if it was only in my head. It was strange. The name made me feel warm inside, somehow comforted in this confusion.
