Chapter 43

Jace

1 grit my teeth when she answers out of nowhere.

My mate is worned. I can feel it from the mate bond. I know why.

I don’t consider Lily as a friend but as the future alpha, I had to be friendly to everyone.

I know her intentions towards me because she has seduced me more than once when were still home. When Ana Left. I even found her n*ked in my room and I had to kick her out.

I warned her multiple times until I threatened to banish her from my pack, that’s when she decided to cool down, or so I thought.

Chase told me about her rejection and when Ana told me the reason, I took it lightly because I knew I wouldn’t be seeing her again. My surprise when I walked on them in the kitchen.

I had to confront Chase and he promised he had everything under control. I had to pretend I was okay and even laughed at her dumb story.

But now I don’t know.

Ana is not comfortable. I Can’t blame her because I know I broke her once. She is scared of history repeating itself and I hate it.

This b*tch needs to understand that I am a family man now and there is no way I will choose her over anyone.

“No need, Ana and I can do it”

“Come on Alpha, there is not much to do here” She sweetly smiles taking a step forward but Chase appears behind her, and I sigh in relief.

“Come on Lily, we can do our own thing” Chase grabs her waist and she frowns before quickly covering it with a fake smile. Ana notices this and silently walks away.

Watch out for your mate chase‘ I link him walking to my son’s room. ‘Sorry bro, but I think she is acting weird’ he complains and I wonder why he can’t see through her. The mate bond can make you a slave but it’s always our choice to make anyway. Just like a certain woman did.

Dad will get over it. He is a strong wolf.

Liam’s room is just a normal room with a king–size bed. Apart from the

soys scattered on the floor, you wouldn’t know it belonged to a baby. So instead of moving stuff. I proceed to the next room which is empty but quite smaller compared to the previous one.

The bed i ordered is smaller so this will do just fine. The room is painted blue and it has large windows facing the pool with grey curtains. Like the rest of the house, it has high ceilings and I know it’s perfect.

1 hope my mate will like it. I should teach her to trust me again. I would never want to hurt Ana ever again. I put her through so much and I still feel guilty for taking her dream away. All Ana wanted was to have a big family. Thanks to me it will be only Liam.

Speaking of my mate, her scent becomes prominent and I take a deep breath. Light footsteps come to a stop at the doorway and I don’t turn back. My gaze is on the pool. I know she is mad at me. Maybe this. situation is reminding her of what I did when I came back.

A sigh is heard and footsteps proceed forward until I feel her behind me.

Slowly turning around, I harshly bite my l*p when I stare into her eyes. They hold so many emotions and she is allowing me to see her vulnerability.

1 grab her waist and pull her towards me. Ana buries her face in my chest. and holds me tight.

“I am scared Jace”

“I know baby. Please trust me, okay?” I whisper k*ssing her head.”I love you Ana, and just because I made a mistake once doesn’t mean I will repeat it” I wish she knew what she meant to me.

“I am sorry” She pulls back and I gently press my l*ps on hers.

“They are here, I will direct them inside” I whisper pulling away when Chase mind links me about the incoming delivery truck.

Descending the stairs, I smell her before I could run into her. Lily is standing in the hallway alone. She is only wearing a two–piece bikini and her attention is on her phone. Chase needs to put his dog on a leash. before it’s too late.

She just arrived today and she is already trying so hard. I don’t want to get on the wrong side with the King.

“Jace, I was wondering, can you please show me where the pool is” She asks faking innocence and I keep my eyes on her face.

“I am sure you have a mate for that. And this should be the last time your

talk to me I am about to go passed her when her hand stretches in my direction and I speedly move away. Her scent on me will only cause me Trouble,

“Am I that repellant? Her eyes start watering and it doesn’t take long before she starts crying. Unlike Ana, her tears don’t affect me. “I have loved you all my life and all you do is push me away, do you hate me this much?

Come on chase, your mate will cause me trouble. If this continues, I’m sorry but you’ll have to leave

“My decision will never change. I will never choose anyone who is not my mate

“You either do as I say, or I will scream” she dares getting in my way and I sigh in frustration, pulling my hair. I can’t do this, I will have Ana or someone else go for them.

However, when I turn around to leave, the b*tch falls to the ground with a scream while pointing at me.

“What is going on here?” Chase arrives and at the same time, I spot Ana watching from above the stairs. I hope she was there all along, so she wouldn’t misunderstand a thing.

“He wanted to touch me, and when I said no, he pushed me” Neither Chase nor Ana makes a move or shows any kind of reaction.

I can see why my mate was worried. This bicth is here to cause trouble.
