Forced Mating

Two

I woke up around seven, like normal, and grabbed some food from the kitchen before sitting on the patio rocking chair.

It was one of my favourite places, probably because grandpa and I used to rock in it for hours as he told me stories.

I slowly ate my fruit and took my hair down so the wind could blow through it and closed my eyes after I finished off my bowl.

Before I knew it I had fallen asleep.

I woke up at ten and remembered I was supposed to show Caden around in an hour.

That's not happening, I thought and slipped my runners on and my bathing suit under my clothes.

"Where are you going Blake?" I turned around to see Dana standing there.

"For a ride. Want to come?"

She shook her head and I noticed she just got up from bed, "I'm going to grab a bite to eat and I'm meeting friends in town."

"Have fun."

"Ditto."

I climbed on my bike and started riding to the path.

An hour and a half later I laid my clothes on the seat of my bike and parked it against a couple trees.

I took my elastic out and dove into the lake. I swam down the length of it, staying on our packs territory, and looped back until I reached the other end of our territory before doing it four more times.

Most of it I did underwater and when I reached where I had started, about the middle, I poked my head up.

Wrong move, should've stayed underwater, I thought as I heard my father scream my name at the top of his lungs through the pack link, "You're three hours late! I told you eleven o'clock sharp."

"And I went to the woods at ten thirty, thought I would show up early," I replied. I could shut the link off but decided he would only get more mad, which wouldn't help when I returned.

"So you're in the woods without Caden?"

I sighed and decided to keep swimming. I did two more laps, staying on our territory and slowly climbed out of the water. I picked up the towel I always hid in the bush beside my bike and dried off.

The air blew by and I wrapped it around myself, "What are you doing here?" I asked Caden as he walked up.

"Finding the water and trees, like some alphas can do." I held back my smile as he said the words I said to my father last night.

I didn't reply as I turned around. I felt naked in only my bathing suit and a towel.

"Well, you found them, hard huh?" I said, my last couple words dripping sarcasm.

He seemed awkward standing there in his jeans and navy shirt, is that all this guy wears? Although it looked sexy as hell on him.

I wanted to put my clothes back on but didn't want to move my towel. I realized my hair was down and pushed one side back behind my ear. It started becoming an awkward silence as neither of us said anything.

"Did Caden find you?" My father asked in my head and I rolled my eyes, crossing my legs at the ankle to keep some of my decency intact.

He looked at me questioningly, "Not you." I said to Caden before replying to my dad in my head, "Yeah. And guess what, he found trees and water on his own." I blocked the link before he could reply. I sighed and put my head back against the tree.

"Your dad?"

I clenched my jaw, he's never been my 'dad', "No, my alpha."

"Isn't he your dad?"
