Chapter 2: Chapter One
I head downstairs, the pack bowing their heads as they do so. The past ten years have been hell. I was so close to dying, offing myself for the longing of my mate, but every time I would try, Jessie would be there, her blonde hair and blue eyes drawing me out and reminding me I have to help raise her, and today is the first step I can to help her. It's her 16th birthday which means I can help her find her mate; while he may not be born yet, I am sure she won't allow me not to help her; she's a daddy's girl, after all.
I wonder why she hasn't come downstairs yet; she's typically up by now, I think to myself when I smell the most incredible scent. In walks, Jessie looking more beautiful than ever before
'it can't be my wolf says in shock
'can't it?' I question
'that means we have a second chance, mate, with our daughter', he states. I just block him out
"When are we going to look for my mate, daddy dearest" she smiles, looking at the food that the chef made for her
"Already found him, and don't call me daddy unless it's in bed", I smirk out, Making her huff in annoyance
"Gross, and you can't decide him", she growls out, obviously angry; why isn't her wolf screaming, mate? How. Can't she smell the fantastic smell
"My Wolf is going crazy", she huffs out, and I immediately groan, knowing why she doesn't know; she has never liked her wolf and never listens, only blocks her out
"Look at me, and you'll know who your mate is" I smirk as she looks up, and her face contours into one of realisation; she bites her lip
"Wouldn't bite your lip unless you want me to bite it for you" I smirk at her again she growls at me
"Stop, this is weird; people know you as my dad; how is this possible" she starts ranting, moving around the kitchen, not caring for her food anymore
"You knew I was", I state. She snaps her head at me, confused
"When you showed up here when you were six, the day your mate marked another, and my mate died, you asked if I was your mate", I state. She looks at me, obviously fighting herself on what to do; she runs off and, by the sound of it, heads straight into her room.
I follow not far behind her, walking into her room and swiftly locking the door
"What took you so long?" she groans out, attacking my lips, I enjoy the taste of her lips and her body pressed against mine, but for some reason, my mind drifts to my long-dead mate who is buried in the backyard, sensing what's wrong she pulls away and starts apologising
"Hey, it's okay, it's just weird, that's all. I saw my mate before she died. You never met yours, so your wolf is longing for mine, mine is too, just I can't help but feel bad" I sigh out and look at her, and I see the tears in her eyes; I hope to god she doesn't think this is me rejecting her.
She walks to her bed and lays down, grabbing the picture of her mate from under the bed. She requested it not long after being here, and I gave it to her. I immediately understood the sadness; when She pulled away, she remembered about him just like I Remembered about her, and now she doesn't know what to do with herself
"This is fucked up, you know", she sighs out
"yes, I know, I raised you as my daughter, and now we are mates", I sigh out, running my hand through my hair. She gulps, watching me obviously lose a battle with her wolf.
"While I feel it's wrong because we had mates out there, I don't know what it is, but I need you", she cries out, trying to punch through her wall. I rush over to her and grab her hand
"no punching walls", I growl out. She smirks and bites her lips; of course, she was a challenging child to raise, and she knows all my buttons to press, and now I want her as mine.
"Are you sure we are mates?" she questions, I know she feels the pull, but just like me, she doesn't want to believe it
"yes, this is the same feeling I felt with my mate, except you haven't died", I muse out, realising my words; I sink to the floor.
"This isn't going to be easy on either of us, is it?" she questions. I shake my head and stand up
"you are being transferred from the high school to homeschool; I will use the excuse that you need more training as an alpha. You will study in my office or your room; we won't mark each other or tell anyone until we can work out what to do; you can sleep in my room when you want, but no one can watch you come in, and no dying" I say walking out of the room.
While I don't want to have to do this, I need her alive; I know I like her, and my connection to her is more vital than any other that I have felt before, but I really can't rush her; I don't care what people think of us they all know she isn't related to me, the paperwork was never signed as she asked. Hence, she technically isn't even my daughter, but I can't rush or Push her.
I walk into my office and see my beta Austin and smile at him
"Everything okay, alpha," he asks. I nod
"just an argument with Jessie, that's all" I smile, making him laugh
"alpha, no offence, but can I ask you something" I just nod at my beta telling him to go on with his question.
"While I know you would know by now since she is sixteen and don't get the wrong idea by this question, but is there any chance she is your mate? You can tell me, and I won't tell anyone! You were a ruthless alpha before she came along, and you lost your mate to boot; you should have either died or gone on a killing spree, but you didn't. She has always been able to calm you down; you have held off killing yourself for her; she is your weak spot," he chuckles my head making my head snap upwards to stare at him.
"you think my wolf knew after seeing her that she would become my mate? It's impossible," I cry out; my beta grabs my arm
"so I am right" he smiles at me before mind-linking someone. Soon after his eyes are back to normal, the door opens, and Jessie rushes to my side, grabbing my arm.
"How did you know" she questions him, and he goes over everything he just said to me, and she sighs
"no one can know; at the moment, we don't know what we want," she muses out; I smile down at her, she used to be so small, and now she is 5'9 and beautiful.
"I promise not to tell anyone, and I will gladly do anything to help", he smiles.
Between me, my beta, and his mate, we have all been a little family, all raising Jessie when one another was busy. I nod, motioning to the door for him to leave.
"Now, what are you doing here, missy" I smile at her; she is now lying on my couch looking quite at home.
"it's a school day, and apparently, I need to be homeschooled and do my work here" she smirks at me in a challenging way. I opened the mind link to her teachers and asked for her next week's worth of work to be delivered to my office immediately.
"Grab your stuff then; your work is being brought up" I smile at her. She looks at me, biting her lip before getting up and leaning over my desk to grab a pen; my eyes follow her every move, and I notice the shirt she is wearing is low cut and shows her breasts perfectly; what I would do to take her right here and feel them. I snap out of my daze when the door opens, and a young boy walks in with ten folders full of work
"here is Jessie's school work", he gulps, slipping them onto the mini couch in the corner of my office before rushing off, probably back to school.
"guess I better do my school work" she smiles at me before walking over to the couch and getting everything set up so she can get started.
It has been two hours, and literally, every third word out of her mouth has been a swear word.
"You swear this much in class," I question, no longer being able to concentrate on my paperwork, not that I was getting anywhere anyway.
"yes, I hate school", she growls out, throwing my pen across the room, making it smash into the wall shattering into a thousand pieces.
"that was my favourite pen", I growl out. She just chuckles
"not anymore" she smiles before getting up
"where are you going" I question her, confused
"to make sure there is no party happening and shopping with the girls", she smiles evilly
"Daddy, can I have the credit card" she smiles at me innocently
"you need to stop calling me daddy", I muse out, not liking that she still thinks of me as her dad because it just reminds me of how bad this is; I am meant to be her protector, not her sexual partner.
"I meant it sexually", she smiles, biting her lip; I jump up from my desk and rush over to her, slamming her against the door and kissing her roughly, all my thoughts on the beautiful girl in front of me.
"you will have a time to scream it soon enough, but first, we need to work out the little problem we have; here's the card; you can only spend two thousand dollars" I smile at her all she is nods and rushes out of the room making my wolf go crazy, he wanted no needed to hear her voice.
Money isn't a problem for my pack since we have millions, but I don't want her spending too much because when she does, she spends close to ten thousand a trip. We do need to fix this problem sooner rather than later, though; otherwise, my wolf will go crazy.
