Fated Mate From Hell

By the time the bottle of wine is gone, I already have Theodore’s number and a real date set for next week. Easy peasy. Theo looks a little scary, but so far he has been a real gentleman. I spend the rest of the week doing extensive research on him and his family, which isn’t that hard because everyone knows all about the Heiden family. Even I knew the basics because they have been running Greyhound since its inception, I just never imagined Theodore would grow up so... well. "I love this, Issy. Theodore is perfect for you, exactly the type of man you deserve,” my mom says when I tell her what’s been going on. She suddenly has the biggest smile ever, "Luna Lidia became my good friend when your father and Alpha Robert went into business together. She was a very humble woman, if it wasn’t for her obsession with jewelry you would never guess she was a billionaire. She didn't like to talk bad about anyone, she just had nice things to say. She was a very good Luna, but a boring friend."

I spend the rest of my Friday night as usual: with my dad, watching a romance movie because they’re his favorite and I don’t hate them as much as I pretend to.Once the movie is over, I go to bed and I try my hardest to shut my brain and get some rest but, of course, I don't sleep for shit. My insomnia is nothing new, but this time it's not the memories of the past that keep me awake but the possibilities of the future. My wolf is still thinking about Isabella, as if those five hours I gave him weren't enough.However, I have to admit I understand his excitement. We have a gorgeous mate, it’s almost unreal how blessed we are because we absolutely do not deserve it. Isabella is the most beautiful woman I've seen in my whole fucking life. I bet we'd make the most beautiful babies... in three years, I guess. It's extremely annoying that she thinks she can make me wait all she wants and have her say in my life, but after tossing and turning and thinking about the subject all night, I c

We wait until Liam, Rahul, Marco and their two unknown girls are given a high-top table before we start walking to them.The girls are somewhat attractive, but neither of them are near Liam, so I don’t pay them any mind. As soon as we’re close, Liam's gaze lifts directly to me as if he can feel me from afar. My heart explodes and my wolf gets overly excited when I find his pretty brown eyes, but I manage to stay cool and collected as we reach the table."Hey, boys! Long time no see,” Layla says, letting go of my arm to walk closer to Rahul, "You've already met my friend Isabella, right?""Hi, Lay," Rahul replies, receiving Layla's hug and then looking at me. Liam and the girls stay silent, "It's good to see you again, Isabella.""Theo will be jealous when he finds out we got to spend some time with you tonight," Marco comments with a playful tone as he greets me with a kiss on the cheek. Rahul does the same once he finishes hugging Layla. Liam stays still, "Are you girls here on you

I walk to my house with a silly smile on my face and more feelings than I've ever felt before. Liam might be an asshole, but he sure can fu—"Hi, baby," my father says as soon as I open the door, making me gasp in fear. He’s taking off his jacket and shoes, meaning he just got home too. “Hi…”"Where were you? And what are you wearing?" He scowls and crosses his arms as he looks me up and down. I immediately get smaller and I try to pull down my dress. I always feel like a little girl under his eyes, that's nothing new. My father has never been able to conceptualize that I matured past the age of, I don't know, twelve. "I went out with my friends, Daddy," I reply. Normally, I would greet him with a kiss on the cheek, but I definitely won't do that when I just had sex, "We went out to dinner and then we went dancing. I smell like sweat, so I'm going to go take a bath before bed.""Hmm, okay. And do me a favor… tomorrow, I want you to go shopping with your mom and buy yourself a whole

Isabella melts against my kiss and I immediately feel all the stress melting out of my body. This kiss feels like going through that crazy mix of emotions has been worth it.Her lips taste delicious, like red wine and something sweet. She’s just so…"Your phone," Isabella says, pulling away from my lips. I frown, not knowing what she's referring to, but then realize my cell phone is ringing.I let out a sound of annoyance and pull it out. It's my father. There's a 50-50 chance it's something extremely stupid to something extremely important and there's no in-between."I have to take it," I say to Isabella, she nods, "Hey, Dad... what's up?""I just walked into your room and you're not here, where did you go all of a sudden?" He asks, sounding concerned, "Everything okay?""Do you need me for anything?""No, I just want to know where are you. You know I worry about...""Don't, I'm fine. I don't know what time I'll be back, so don't bother me again unless it's a work emergency or if yo
