Unloved Mate

Chapter 25

Ash

"....Yes Jacob he's toying with her dreams.....is there a witch you know that can completely block her dreams from only him?.......Ok, call me when you have anything, thank you bye." I hung up the phone in my office and sat in one of the chairs. I rubbed my face and looked at the night sky. Maybe Cassies awake. I got up and went to our room, opening the door.

She was sitting on the bed and when I walked in she smiled at me. She looked adorable. Her hair was messy from sleep, the little clothes she were wearing is wrinkled, and She had a tired smile on her face. I walked over to her and scooped her up into my arms and sat her on my lap holding her close, Her heartbeat was fast then calmed down the longer we stayed together.

"Ash can we go out for a run?" I looked down at her now wide awake face and smiled. I didn't think it was a good idea but how could I resist my mate? "Yes but stay close." she jumped up and nodded understanding my rules. "ok then let's go!" we ran downstairs to the front door and stepped out changing to our wolves.

She stretched her legs enjoying the night breeze. Jordan playfully jumped on Dust which was real adorable. Dust licked her face and bowed his head for her to calm down. She obeyed then started run. "I told you to stay close Cassie!" I mind connected her. She didn't reply so I went into her thoughts to hear her talking to Jordan.

"Jordan where are you going Ash said stay close." Cassie said worried. "Someone's in trouble they're hurt and we gotta help!" Jordan replied determined and not a hint of fear in her voice. "Ash'll be mad." Cassie said being quiet now letting Jordan run. "CASSIE WHAT IS JORDAN DOING?!" I yelled into her mind. Jordan whimpered but kept going. Cassie kept quiet.

"Why are you yelling at her it's not her fault Jordan's going haywire." Dust said to me obviously upset that I made Cassie Afraid and sadder than she already was. "She could get hurt!" I yelled back at him. "Be gentler and she'll reply." Dust urged me. I sighed and tried again. "Cassie?" someone called get but it wasn't me. She shifted back into human form and lost balance. Jordan's doing.

I shifted and helped her up and watched her pale. I looked at the person in front of us. It was a older man about mid 40's. He had hair like Cassies they kind of looked alike, but they didn't have the same eyes. "Dad?" She ran out of my grasp and went up to him and I ran behind her keeping close. I thought her family died how could this be her father? "Hello sweetie come here give me a hug." I looked at Cassie who stood rock like still.

"You're not my father." At first I didn't understand then I smelled him. He smelled of a vampire, he was a vampire. "Of course I am sweetie I'm just a vampire not really different. Are you not gonna hug your father?" He chuckled the last part. She took a tiny step back bumping me and I held her close. "How are you my father? My father died when I was younger, I saw it happen you can't be him." Rust. I sniffed the air it smelled of rust, no dried blood.

I let go of Cassie and peeped around the guy.

Cassie

Ash let go of Me and carefully peeped around my "dad". I did the same and saw a little girl lying there. I smelled the air and smelled dried but still new blood, then I finally took a look at the man that proclaimed to be my father. He looked exactly like him, he had blood all over himself except for his face, something was definitely wrong here. He smiled down at me and I stepped closer to him, he had his hands at his sides.

"If you are my dad why didn't you help me?" He looked confused and furrowed his brows. "What are you talking about, sweetheart?" I glared at him. "Why didnt you help me when I was being abused by the pack? Everyday since you "died"." I put quotes up when I said died. He clenched his jaw knowing he was caught.
