Chapter 13
Waking up in the morning, I found myself in an unfamiliar place and my head was pounding as 1 sat up.
“Oh, fuck!” I groaned, rubbing my temples. Why did I even think of drinking like that?
Looking around, I realised I was not on the floor but bed.
Bringing my hand to my chest, I stroked it as I tried to get up. I was in a T–shirt and pants.
How the fuck did I get here!
Walking out the door, I realised I was in a different place than the cabin I stayed in. “Hey,” Mateo said, a smile curving up on his lips.
“Made you some coffee,” He said, handing me a cup of coffee, and smiling at myself. I took it.
“I hope you didn’t go through so much trouble because of me,” I said, walking to the counter while sipping from my coffee.
“No. I wanted to check on you.” he said as I nodded my head. I couldn’t remember what happened last night, but I’m sure he’s the one who brought me here.
“What am I doing here? Is this someone’s house?” I asked him as he shook has head, walking over to where I was standing.
“It’s a cottage just a few blocks away from the pack house. It’s yours now,”
1 nonchalantly nodded my head as I looked into his eyes.

“Listen, I know that I haven’t been exactly what you would expect from a mate, but I want you to understand that I will bringing his hand to mine.
If he wants to make it work. Ask him to reject that woman‘ Skye suggested, but I closed my eyes, blocking my link with both of my wolves.
I had a terrible headache and honestly, I couldn’t deal with these two right now. Their arguing was unbearable.
“It’s fine. It must not be easy for you,” I smiled sheepishly.
He inhales sharply as the room is filled with an awkward silence while I sip on the coffee he made for me. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
**I should probably get going. Umm..I have..” He stuttered, his gaze moving away from me.
“Sure. I know you have things to do,” I said to him as he nodded his head before placing a card on the table with his name on it.
“You can use the card whenever you need it. The pin is-
“Don’t need your money. I cut him short as he furrowed his eyebrows.
“I wasn’t.”
“Mateo, you have a wife. And a pack that loves you. Why would you want me to stay here?” I asked him as he tilted his head, looking at me.
“It’s difficult knowing that I have a mate who is married and, to make it worse,
the other one won’t reject me.”
“Let’s talk about it later,” He said, grabbing the phone for the table as I stood up, walked to the door and blocked his way
“Benn here for a week and every time you say that. Please, I need to know what you plan on doing” I pleaded with him as he sighed heavily, looking into my eyes.
“Just give me some time. I promise to sort this out,” He assured me as I scoffed.
“No one wants me in this pack. That’s clear enough. Why can’t you just reject me?” I asked, walking towards him as he looked away from me.
His heart was throbbing

“Kate needs you to help her with something in the pack house” He stepped aside, opening the door as he walked out of the room.
“Mateo!” I shouted, running after him I stopped on the patio as he got in the car. My eyes met with Micah’s who was walking towards the pack
house.
Icould swear I heard a low growl come from his lips as he gazed at Me, his eyes going from my head to my toes
“Shit” Leused, relaxing that I was just in a pair of pants and a T–shirt
“Matrol” I shouted as he revised out of the parking spot. Seeing Micah walking towards me, I turned on my heel, heading back into the house as 1 closed the door.
“Fuck!” I growled as my head pounded hard.
“What am I going to do?” I asked myself, letting out a sigh as I looked at the grey interior, the smell of fresh paint hitting my nostrils as I sighed heavily.

“Fuck!”

I brought you some juice. It’s good for a hangover” he beamed with a smile as 1 furrowed my eyebrows.
“How the hell did you know?” I asked him as he handed me the bottle.
“Hard not to hear you when you were shouting and screaming last night when I live just next door,” He beamed, exposing his perfect white teeth as I gave
him a nod.
“Thank you,” I said, taking the bottle as he stood there looking inside the house.
“Don’t be late. Kate hates being kept waiting” he turned on his heel, hands in his pockets
“Shit! Need to change,” I said before I made my way back into the house, closing the door
I went straight to the bathroom, I checked, and I didn’t have any shampoo or body wash

Getting into leggings and an oversized shirt, I put on my sneakers before making my way towards the pack house.
Making my way inside again. I looked around as everyone seemed to be busy working or moving from one place to the next
I sighed heavily as I walked towards the girl, who was busy checking the fresh flowers in the vase by the staircase.
“Good morning,” I said, but it came out more like a whisper as I cleared my throat

“I am here to see Kate,” I said, as she raised her eyebrows.
“The

I nonchalantly nod my head and she smiles, bringing the board to her chest as she looks at me from head to toe
“Come on. I will show you,” she said as I sighed heavily, following her behind as she led the way up the stairs, then down the hallway on the second
follow,
“I didn’t even get your name,” I started while following her behind. She seems like someone genuine, unlike those fake smiles I have been seeing on people’s faces.
“Rita Black,” she said as I nodded my head, thinking of the last name she just told me. I once went to school with a black, but their pack was raided a few years back and everyone died.
“We are here,” she announced.
She knocks on the door once as we wait for a response.
“Yes!” A soft–spoken voice came from behind the door as Rita opened the door, gesturing for me to go in first.
I sighed heavily, walking into the room as I looked at her busily writing down something. On the left was her desk made of oak wood with a steel frame, while on the other side was another desk.
*Zara!” She beamed with a smile as she looked up at me, getting up from the chair, her dirty blonde hair falling freely to her waist. She blark, smart pant and light blue shin, with stilettoes.

lips turned into a sanile as she approached where I was standing
“I don’t think we have officially met. Am Kate Lockwood” She extended her hand to greet me but something within me told me her politeness was fake.
“Why is she masking her scent? Skye surfaced, asking as I swallowed hard.
“Hi. I’m Zara Owens” I took her hand, and she shook my hand before taking her hand away fast.
“Am sorry I haven’t been able to come speak with you and receive you into the pack,” she apologised, going to sit on the couch. She gestured for me to sit adjacent to her.
I watched her closely as she crossed her legs, putting her hand on her knees. I sat down with my hands on my lap, just on the edge of the chair.
“So, do you like your new place?”
“Doesn’t look bad. Like it,” I said, faking a smile as she smiled at me, nodding her head.

Something didn’t seem right about all this. She was being too polite towards me.

“Yes. Ask Rita to give you something. You are already late, so you had better get going,” she said without glancing at me.
