Semua Bab Choosing My Own Mate After Rebirth: Bab 91 - Bab 100

MAYAI walked down the stairs, as I had to meet Tristan but just as I was about to leave the house, I heard my father call."Come here, Maya," Looking over his shoulder, he called from the dining table.I was almost on the verge of ignoring him and walking away, but then mother called, "come have dinner with us dear,"I forced a tight smile on my face, dragged my feet towards them and took a seat. I noticed mother's not so subtle glare at me. My mother, Madeline knew how much I disliked father because she did too but we promised to play along so we'd convince him we did indeed love him. But in reality, we were after his wealth and the foolish old man was so gullible.As I took a seat, Father smiled, "oh my dear Maya, you're the only child of mine who truly cares about me." He began, "your sister, Hailey has abandoned me because of Alpha Carter. She chose a man over blood, over family."If Tristan hadn't told me that this man had sold Hailey off in exchange for power, I'd have pitied

XAVIER I listened to Temmy as she told me about her fight with Hailey and how Carter was in support of it, and I couldn't help but feel conflicted.How could Carter and Hailey suddenly be against Temmy? I thought they loved and accepted her. I needed to call him and ask about it. He should have a reasonable explanation for what happened. "I'll call him," I said and picked up my phone but before I could dial his number, Temmy rushed towards me and dragged the phone.I looked up at her in confusion and she chuckled and rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly."You can't!" She said."Why?" I furrowed my brows at her, "I need to know why he and Hailey did what they did. Perhaps, there's a misunderstanding.""No, don't do it," Temmy argued."And why is that?" I questioned."Because...." She drawled, looking up as though she was trying to think of a response."Because what?" I urged."Because I don't want you to," She finally said and when she noticed the further confusion on my face, she

TEMMY The second I walked out the door, the sad expression on my face was replaced with a wide smile. Nothing was more exciting than hearing Carter and Xavier argue all because of me. It gladdened me.It had been quite a while since I saw father and I was sure as hell that he would be extremely happy with me. I looked from my left to my right and when I noticed that the coast was clear, I muttered a spell of teleportation. Almost immediately, I appeared in my father's living room and surprisingly, he wasn't alone. And no, it wasn't just Alpha Damian who was with him. The living room was occupied by father, Alpha Damian, Tristan, Malachi and Maya. What were they all doing here? "What's going on?" I asked in confusion. Had I perhaps made a mistake of appearing now? "Sit!" Father instructed sternly. But instead of listening,I skipped excitedly towards him, "I have news for you, Father!" I said, unable to stop the wide smile that had made its way to my face. Unlike I had expected,

TEMMYXavier and I sat on the couch watching a movie and while his attention was glued to the screen, my mind drifted.I had made Xavier to hold a grudge against Carter and now it was time to eliminate him. And I needed to act fast before he'd figure out that I had been deceiving him. I knew Xavier trusted me and I was going to use it to my advantage. Father would be so proud of me by the time I was done with Xavier.I jerked in shock when I felt him touch me and turned to yell at him but I decided not to. It'll ruin my plan if I let my anger take over me."Are you okay?" Xavier asked, his face portraying how worried he was."Yeah, I'm fine." I brushed him off and turned back to face the big screen."I called severally but you didn't seem to hear me until I touched you" He stated, "what is occupying your thoughts?""Nothing. I said I'm good," I answered, hoping he'd leave me alone. His attention towards me annoyed the shit out of me."Is it about what happened between Carter and I?"

CARTERMy attention was centered on my laptop when an email popped in.'Be home by 7pm for dinner' The message from mother was brief and simple. Mother wasn't one to send an email, infact, I didn't think she had ever communicated with me through media. The only time she ever spoke to me was whenever we met physically.So for her to send a brief email, it meant something was wrong. Though I didn't have a good relationship with mother, it didn't mean I didn't care about her. She was my mother after all.The day went by quickly and I clocked out with Hailey, earlier than usual so as to get ready for dinner with mother."Why do you think she wants to see you?" Hailey asked as we drove to the family mansion."I don't know. I can't think of anything," I replied sincerely.I honestly didn't know why mother wanted to see me and though I didn't want to admit, I felt a bit nervous as I thought about it.Perhaps she was ill? Ever since father passed away, she hadn't been herself. And it wasn't
