Messed up

"What?! Are you serious?" Emily said, her eyes widening in shock.

"Yes, I am. And why would I joke about something like that?" Cassidy responded.

"I hope you rejected him," Emily said, raising her brows.

"No, I didn’t. I was so shocked to even process anything," Cassidy replied.

"Did you go back to look for him after you processed everything?" Emily asked.

"Yes, I did, but he was already gone when I came back to check for him," Cassidy answered.

"Does anyone else know, or is it just me?" Emily asked another question.

"Only you know about this," Cassidy replied.

"Damn," Emily breathed, still stunned by all of this.

"I don't know what to do. I'm so confused," Cassidy said.

"I think you should tell your father since you're confused. He could help you reach out to him as far as you can still remember his looks," Emily advised.

"Thanks for the idea. I didn't even think of that," Cassidy appreciated.

"You're welcome," Emily acknowledged. "Do you still remember what he looks like?" she asked.

"Yes, I remember. He looks like a model. He has raven hair and a few strands fall on his face. He has grey eyes, his skin is flawless, well, apart from a scar that goes from his eyebrow to his cheekbone making him look like a warrior. He has a sharp jawline and he's well built. And he's actually a pack warrior," Cassidy explained, almost every detail about him.

"Damn, you got yourself a gorgeous one as a mate. I was thinking he was some ugly ogre or something worse. Turns out he's not bad at all. But as you said he's a pack warrior so he's definitely not your ideal type since he's not in your league," Emily said, and it made Cassidy scoff.

"Yeah, I know he's not that bad, but he's not my type and he's not in my league. And even if he was, I still wouldn't accept him since I'm so into the Alphas," Cassidy explained.

"You mentioned he's a pack warrior, so I think it will be easier for your dad to find him or he might even know him since he knows everything about the pack warriors," Emily reasoned.

"Yeah, you're right. I think I should be on my way now so I can inform my dad," Cassidy announced.

"You're not going anywhere, girl, not until you tell me how the date went," Emily demanded in a playful dramatic tone.

"Okay then," Cassidy agreed.

"So how did the date go?" Emily asked.

"It went great. It was lovely. I thought the Alphas wouldn't initiate conversation with me but they did and I was stunned. It seemed like they weren't forced to the date because of their behavior and I have a feeling they are beginning to like me," Cassidy said with a bright smile.

"How did you know they are beginning to like you, and what kind of questions did they ask you?" Emily asked, curious.

"They seemed really curious to know things about me and they asked a lot of personal questions. They asked how I was coping and stuff like that and a few personal questions," Cassidy answered.

"What kind of personal questions?" Emily asked again.

"It's personal so I can't tell you," Cassidy said and then winked at Emily, who looked frustrated that she wasn't told.

"Ugh, it's not fair," Emily complained.

"Yeah, I know right," Cassidy smirked.

"Anyway, I think it's time I go and tell my dad about the bond," Cassidy announced, then stood up from the bed.

"Okay, bye," Emily said and waved.

"Bye," Cassidy replied and left, heading toward her dad's quarters.

When she arrived at the door to her dad's quarters, she knocked a few times before she heard her dad's voice from the other side.

"Who is there?" Beta Aldric asked.

"It's Cassidy," she replied, and then her father opened the door for her to enter.

"What brings you here?" Beta Aldric asked.

"I came to tell you something important," Cassidy said and approached a chair so she could sit.

"What?" Aldric asked and sat opposite her.

"Father, I found my mate," Cassidy answered, and her father was far from happy. He was caught off guard too.

"What?!" Aldric yelled angrily, and Cassidy got a bit scared because of his tone.

"I hope you rejected him and terminated the bond because I don't want any little problem that can easily be solved to ruin my plan. If you didn't terminate the bond I won't be happy with you and I'll be disappointed. Did you?" Aldric said, and Cassidy’s expression became bitter.

Should I tell him the truth or not? If I lie to him, I won't be able to terminate the bond with my so-called mate. I guess I'll have to tell him. Here goes nothing, Cassidy reasoned silently.

"No father, I didn't terminate the bond or reject him either," Cassidy confessed, because she needed her dad's help.

"What?!" Aldric yelled. "Do you know what he looks like?" he asked.

"Yes, father, I do," Cassidy replied.

"Good. Now you're going to describe how he looks so I can find him," Aldric demanded.

"He has raven hair and a few strands fall on his face and he has grey eyes. He looks like a model because of his flawless skin, but he also looks like a warrior because of the scar from his eyebrow to his cheekbone. He's also a pack warrior," Cassidy described.

"I know who you're talking about. His name is Kyle," Aldric informed, and Cassidy felt relieved he knew her mate.

"He joined the pack warriors and his skills are good, but he disobeys rules," Aldric added.

"Okay, father. It's amazing you knew him," Cassidy said.

"Let's go find him, but let's hope he listens, because if he doesn't, his life is over," Aldric stated, and Cassidy smiled menacingly because she knew her father meant it.

"What made you not reject the bond the moment you felt it?" Aldric asked curiously.

"I was too shocked and speechless," Cassidy said truthfully.

"That's bullshit," Aldric remarked, and Cassidy remained silent.
