I woke up to an aching pain in my back. I groaned and sat up straight. My vision was fussy and my mind was spinning. I hate how everything feels when you first wake up. That’s when everything from yesterday came crashing into my mind. My mate. A smile came upon my face just by thinking of her. I stood up and locked my eyes to her bed. Nothing. She wasn’t there. I quickly went to her bed and patted the blankets to see if she was under them.
I started to panic how I could be so careless and not keep my eyes on my mate. I ran out her room desperately and found her perfectly dressed wearing jean shorts, a pink T-shirt with pink sandals and her up in a ponytail playing with an older guy. I quickly became alert and scoop her in my arms not likening another male touching her. I let out a low growl looking at the male that I don’t know.
“Is that how you intend to introduce yourself to her father?” He spoke getting up from the floor. That’s when I noticed this guy that my mate was with was her father. I quickly changed my expression from threating to soft and sympathy. “Oh sorry, I didn’t notice.”
I still had Lilly tightly in my arms. Even though he was her father, I still didn’t want her away from my arms. She gave me quite a scare just not too long ago. “No its okay. I was like that with Ana when I first met her. I didn’t want no one near here is still am till this day. We were teens so it was even more woser. Ana told me yesterday that you were her mate. At first I was shocked. The only thing that ran through my mind was how I am going to kill you for taking my little daughter away so young. But I know your feelings for her aren’t like that yet. And I also thought about me and my mate. I would never want to be away from her, so all I am saying is, welcome to the family Alpha Luciano.”
He held his hand out for me to shake. Since Lilly was in the arms I am supposed to use to shake his hand, I shifted her to my other arm and shock his hand firmly like I did back at my father home. “Like you said yourself yesterday there isn’t no need for formalities, I am techinoly your son in law so you could just call me Jacen for now on.”
He raised his eye brow and looked away from me. “Right, that’s going to take some getting used to, but all I am going to say, is you hurt my precious little buddle of joy, it will be your face plastered above my fire place.” He laughed. I laughed back but had more of a scared tone to it.
“Don’t worry, I would never hurt her.” He looked down at his daughter and held his arms out for her to go in his arms. At first I was hesitate to give her to him but I didn’t want to be rude so I let him hold her. “Remember what I told you, this man will always be here for you and love you like how me and your mother does if not even more.” He kissed her checks and looked at me.
I saw a tear forming in his eyes. I never seen a grown man cry before, he acts as if I am taking her way from him forever, I mean come on even her mother wasn’t like this. I expected that from her mother but not her father. “What’s wrong daddy?” My mate’s voice spoke sounding like music in my ears. He snatched his eyes away from mine to his daughters.
“Oh nothing sweetie, I am just happy for you.” She creased her hands on his face to wipe away his tears. “You sure daddy?” He chuckled at her comment and so did I. My mate was such a beauty. Her voice was so soft and innocent. “Yea, well I have to get to work now, daddy loves you don’t forget that Lillyana.” He gave her a big kiss on her cheek and handed her to me. “Do me one favor Jacen.” I knobbed my head. “Watch over her and don’t let anything happen.”
“Always will.” He gave his daughter one last look and left the room. I sat onto the couch and still had Lilly in my arms. I turned the 50 inch flat screen and turned to channel 676 to watch a movie that was playing. During about 5 minutes into the movie Lilly started to get out of my hold. I held her tighter. “What’s wrong?” She did her puppy face and smiled. “I want to go color.”
