The Rejected Daughter Of An Alpha novel Chapter 4

"So let me make sure I got this right. You're reasons for coming here are too complicated for you to except me as your mate for the moment, but you will, publicly, once everything is solved." He says and stops for me to confirm, which I do, before continuing. "And you don't want to tell people because...?"

"I don't want them to think I'm rejecting you and, for the moment, none of them need to know my mothers business here. As far as your pack knows, we're visiting family and staying here because our alpha requested it." I say simply. My mother will explain more if she wants people to know.

"Can I know how much deeper it goes?" He asks. He's earned that right as my mate, the alpha lending us his home, and for being so excepting of our circumstances.

"I was the product of a one night stand between two mates. My father, the very next morning, rejected my mother. The reason we're staying here is because my father... is the alpha of the pack. We don't know how he'll react because my mom was scheduled to move shortly after the event anyways, so she just got permission from the previous alpha to move. She was studying medicine in our current pack when she found out. Her mother had always hated her and when she found out she had been rejected, her mother kicked her out of the house. Her mother and father recently got divorced, so we're coming to visit."

"Does anyone in her old pack know you exist?" He asks with a look of shock on his face.

"Nope. Mom didn't even know she was pregnant till she got out to Oregon and she didn't call anyone because she didn't really have any friends out here." I say with a shrug.

We sit around and talk for another couple of hours before becoming too tired to continue. We agree to meet here again tomorrow and get to know each other. I get up to head to my room, but stop and give him a quick kiss on the cheek before turning and sauntering upstairs. I seriously hope this wasn't just a dream.

Cassie's pov

Last night was one of the best nights of sleep I've had in a very long time, despite the fact that i only slept for about four hours. It seems it doesn't matter how little sleep I get the night before I'm still gonna wake up at 5 am Oregon time. Luckily for me that means it was 8 am in North Carolina and a pretty decent time for hem to get up here. That was actually the time they had breakfast.

"Good morning ladies! I hope you slept well!" Cassandra said.

"That makes sense. Will we get to meet him? We have a few things to discuss." My mother informs her.

"Yes, but for now, please join us for breakfast." She says and leads us to the dining room from last night. In it, there are three people, two boys and a girl, all sat in a row."These are three of my children. My oldest, Ryan, my only girl, Emily, and my youngest, Easton."

She sits down in the seat to the right of the head of the table, leaving the head of the table and the seat to her right open. The two seats across from her are also open, as well as the head of table on the opposite side and the seat the the left of it. Cassandra's sons are on one side and her daughter is on the other side, the side opposite of Cassandra. The Beta and Gamma are on the same side as Emily leaving the only seat open beside Ryan at that end. My mother walks to the head of the table on that end and I walk to the seat next to her and stand behind it. My training has lead me to never sit until the superiors have been seated.

We soon hear footsteps, not that that's hard they're essentially stomping into the room. The first of the stompers to appear is an older looking man that Cassandra rose for and when his eyes looked into hers, they started to shine with love. One can only assume that's her mate, Caspian. He's not worst looking creature and in fact, he's quite handsome, but I'll have to say that Axe looks way better.
