Mated to My Enemy novel Chapter 46

"Now, what's next uncle?" Kyle asked warily.

"Out! Zander, you are no longer needed," my father says, his red eyes piercing into me, making me do as he says.

I step out and slam the door behind me. I'm just about to leave when I hear something. I hear it again as I turn around.

"Zander?" I hear a very familiar voice say.

"Daphne?" I ask.

She rushes towards me and brings me into a hug.

"I'm so glad your okay, I haven't heard from you in a while and I was worried that something had happened to you so I decided to follow Kyle and then he went in and then I saw you come out and you were safe and-" she rambled.

"Daph calm down, I'm fine. What are you doing here?" I ask, cutting her off.

"I was training with Kyle. I thought you knew," she said, scrunching her face in confusion.

"Up until a couple minutes ago I was not aware. But that's not important, you musn't trust him. Atleast not yet," I say, trying not to give out any details.

"Why not?" she asks, looking behind me at the closed doors.

Oh yeah you know, my psycho father is trying to make you queen for reasons that I don't even know myself and will and has gone to great lengths in order to do so. He always ends up getting what he wants. Also, your trainer is on his side but I'm sure that not for long. He's already caused a gap apparently between you and Arron. And my father between me and Kat.

"Just trust me on this, I will tell you everything when the time is right," I say, trying to be as vague with my answer as I can.

She opens her mouth to argue but before she could, I ask, "So how are you? You know, after the letter?"

She seems to want to go back to what we were talking about but, lets out a sigh and then her face contorts into confusion.

"What letter?"

"The one my fath- I mean, th-the one that was left at Arron's pack," I say, catching myself.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she says shaking her head.

"Arron didn't show it to you? It was written to you," I say, scrunching my eyebrows together.

"No, he didn't. Oh god I just have a feeling that its nothing good," she gasps, her eyes widening.

Zander looks a little hesitant but, nods. I close the door and turn back to Arron. I'm surprised to see that he has tears running down his face. I close the distance and bring him into a tight hug.

"Hey hey, it's okay." I assure him.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry," he repeats over and over into my neck.

I can feel the wetness of his tears on my shoulder but it doesn't bother me.

"Hey it's all going to be okay, okay?" I say, caressing his hair.

"I just don't know anymore. It feels like everything has been going wrong lately. First is with the war and the pressure of being alpha and then our problems," he says, lifting his head and roughly wiping his tears.

He scuffs and says, "And now I'm crying. I'm the alpha and I'm crying. That just makes me look weak."

"Hey don't say that. It does not make you weak, it just shows you're human, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. It just makes you a stronger alpha, you have a heart, and the care you have for this pack is what makes it strong," I say, grabbing his face, making him look at me.

He stares in my eyes and I'm transfixed by his look. He looks so vulnerable, a side that I've never seen and thought I would never see. These sides that I've never seen from him, make me fall for him again. Dangerously fall in love for him every time. We close the distance slowly until his lips are brushing against mine. He collides our lips in a soft kiss. A kiss that was so delicate, like he was scared to kiss me too hard. I pulled away. I was still angry at him, but I had to concede that this was definitely a step closer to me forgiving him. He gives me a smile, he seems happier now. Then remember the reason I came here for.
