"Doctor Frank, how did you feel when you met your second chance mate? Did your wolf get awaken?"
If there was anyone I can never lie to, then it would be to Zane, a friend who is more like a brother to me.
I exhaled sharply before I began to explain how I felt, "the moment I saw her, I felt a strong connection between us, it was an unbreakable bond. Suddenly my wolf went wild as I perceived her sweet scent, and that was how we ended up in bed. I did not slept with her-"
"No need to explain further. You have lived your life like sex was your daily dose, so this won't be any different," with that said, Zane drove off with the thought that I was reassured.
It took us a while before we arrived at the mansion. I alighted from the car, and headed inside only to meet my father obviously awaiting my presence.
"Good day," I greeted. About to head into the room, but my father's question made me halt.
"Frank, what is good about the day when you still haven't gotten married?" With a fierce gaze, my father asked. "I am going on two weeks trip, make sure you don't fight with your brothers. Sean is also part of this family, so don't make him feel inferior."
"When I come back from my trip, your wedding will commence, no objections," he finalised his statement before he headed out of the mansion with his secretary who assisted him with his suitcase.
I don't know what my dad is planning, but there is no way I am going to get married to that bitch!
"Frankie, what is up with pop?" My younger brother, Jason, who just walked in, inquired curiously.
I gave him a death glare before I headed to my room.
Immediately, I took another cool bath to enable me to calm down. I just can't think straight. Mate, father, fiancee, and my brothers, they are all frustrating!
Just when I was about to relax, a call came in. I took my phone, and picked up the call even though I did not want to talk to anyone.
"Zane, why are you calling at this time? Didn't I tell you that all my schedule at the hospital should be cancelled, same as that of the office?" I asked with my voice raised, giving him no chance to talk.
When I finally did, I was amused by what he informed me about.
"Doctor Frank, you are also Amelia's second chance mate, and there is a high chance she is mated to a powerful person to keep her wolf alive. The moon goddess is-"
"Not another lecture, man. I don't care who she is mated to. Make sure she remains in that suite, I will be there in a moment," I hung up.
I did not bother to change the light clothes I put on. I headed to the car lots before I drove off.
It took me a while before I arrived since I was a bad driver.
"Is she still... Here?" I questioned curiously with my voice sounding like I was worried about her.
I had never felt this way, no, I did not know why I am feeling this way. Is it because she is my mate? Or I am afraid that she is mated to another person when I am not going to claim her?
"Sir, she just woke up," my secretary replied, and without sparing a second, I walked inside.
I met her dressing up, but I did not feel bothered by her nakedness.
The moment she confirmed my presence, she almost brought down the roof of the building with her voice. "What are you doing here? Why are you staring at my body!"
"What is there to stare when I already touched every part of your body last night?" My brow raised, I replied with a question, not sounding naughty or shameful, but cold as usual.
Even though I did not want to be cold to anyone, this annoying mate of mine isn't an exception.
"Why are you here, mister... Oh, Frank?" She inquired, pretending not to listen to my response.
I walked closer to her, this time, I placed my hands on her shoulder before I began talking, "Mate, let's go home."
Her eyes blinked at my sudden kind reaction like I was up to something bad...and deadly.
"What home did me and you have?"
Hearing those words of hers made me burst into loud laughter. I like her type, the weak–pretending–strong type.
A dark smirk playing on the corner of my lips, I walked to the couch before I sat down, "do you think you have a home? Your father's debtor already took your house away from you after they confirmed your mother is dead. They are ready to kill a fish like you if you dare stand up to fight them."
From her facial expression, I know my words could have triggered her.
"Fuck! How the hell did you know me? Fine, if I go to your house, what sense will it make when I am not going to be your mate?" she asked with a frustrating look.
I chuckled at her words before I replied, "Who said you are going to stay in my house for free? You have to earn your keep?"
This time, I know she is desperate, and will do anything to have a roof over her head, but what can she possibly do?
