The Rejected Daughter Of An Alpha novel Chapter 27

"Yeah it's like we're strangers or something."I say with sarcasm dripping from my voice.

"Alright, there's no need for the sass." He rolls his eyes.

"But we really are strangers. The only thing we know about each other is what we recently learned and the fact that we share a daughter. I understand that you think that we would be head over heels in love and all that jazz, but that's not how that works."

"I know. How is she? Our daughter that is."

"She had training to teach or she would be here. I had to fight her for that one, but the mom card with a little bit of the reputation card will get her to listen. She tried to cancel her training is what I'm trying to say." I love her but honestly, she can be a pain.

"That makes sense. You've raised her to be amazing."

"I didn't do a lot. She was so independent that I tried to raise her and she basically raised herself. I worked a lot and I would get people to watch her, but she went about like they weren't there. She made herself food at the age of 3 if I wasn't home. If she wanted something, she would find a way to get it."

"She was making her own food at 3? As in 3 years old? Why would she do that if she had help?"

"She never wanted help. They tried to help and she would like dismiss them like they were flies. She tried to be polite about it though, so I give her that."

"So she was always independent?"

"Very. The Luna above gave me a wonderful baby. She hardly ever cried and she was super smart. I think the only issue was she talked to strangers, but that always turned out to be a good thing. I couldn't ask for a better child." I can't help but smile as I think about my Cassie.

I look into his eyes and see no trace of lie in them. I know that the bond isn't there to force us together and I thought about it a little more before declaring something that could never be taken back.

"If you are willing, so am I.'' His smile is blinding and I can't help but give him my own watery smile.

"If you are willing, so am I. I am more than willing." He says and for the first time in 18 years I kiss my soulmate.

Axe's POV

I'm excited to be able to hold my mate in public. Don't get me wrong, I love our private moments, but I would rather have her ion my arms at ALL times and not just stolen moments in my office. I'm ready to show the pack that they have a Luna and watch her take the role. She already walks the walk and I'm more than ready for her to talk the talk. I'm ready to start a family and build a life. I'm ready to hold her at night in our own bed and not have to worry about idiot teenagers hitting on her. I want to say the words that make her mine. I want to see her walking down the aisle, though I'm not sure she would actually wear a dress.
