All Chapters of My Mate's Father Wants Me : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

VINCE “Bullseye!” The guard yelled, waving the flag. I picked another arrow, attached it to the bow, and pulled. All the simmering emotions from last night flooded into my head in a mad rush. It's the most hellish night I've had in the last two years. More hellish because I had Elena so close and yet, I was fighting every urge not to get any fucking close to her. I pulled. It hit the target. “Bullseye!” The guard waved the flag again. I picked another. This was a sick way of trying to distract my mind. To keep the thoughts in my head from driving me nuts. I aimed for the target again. But her face flashed in my eyes, forcing out a grunt from me. I lowered the bow, taking seconds to catch my breath. Escaping from my thoughts wasn't helping. Maybe embracing them would. So fuck it, what was I thinking about? Yeah, Elena. And how seeing her again came with a lot of taunting, overwhelming emotions. When I left the room, I was a huge mess. Anger, excitement, anxiety, fear, and most

ELENA Vince was avoiding me.Minutes ago, he'd opened the door. I curled up in excitement and anticipation. His overwhelming scent engulfed the room, sending waves to every inch of my body. But then he'd shut the door and left. Like he'd done last night. He didn't wanna talk to me. He was avoiding me. That thought echoed in my head, bringing me to tears. My sheets were getting soaked. My eyes were beginning to hurt, but I couldn't stop the tears. My heart ached so badly, and there was nothing I could do to ease the pain. The only remedy to this aching would be him walking into the room and holding me. But it's been an hour. He's not coming. That reality slapped me so hard, leaving me sobbing. I shoved the duvet over my face for the umpteenth time, determined to fall asleep. He's a mean bastard. I shouldn't waste any more tears on him. What did I do that's so unforgivable? It's not like the child wasn't mine, either. It's not like I didn't love it. I did, so much. But I was just

ELENA My frantic hands squeezed up my dress at the anxiety eating me up. Again, I stared out the window. It was oddly quiet down there, a big contrast to what I thought it would look like today, judging from Vince's cryptic words.I couldn't sleep all night. His words had gone into a loop in my head. And when I woke up this morning, I was an anxious mess. He didn't return to the room either. If he did, then maybe I would have gotten the chance to ask what he meant. When he said they knew he was gonna come for me. And that they knew we had a thing. How? Who could possibly tell them that? No one back home knew about it. Should have asked him when he said it. But I was more fixed on the fact that he said he was here for me and not business. So I never got to ask, and now, the unasked questions are creating chaos in my mind. I peeked out the window again. A few guards were on patrol. Aside from them, there was no one else down there. Where's Vince? The door bursts open. I turned and

DECLAN “How's he doing, Doc?” I asked after minutes of torturous silence. Father looks as ghostly as an actual corpse. The only tiny difference is that he's taking his little breaths. There's no oxygen to aid his breathing as we aren't very equipped medically. We still cater to the traditional ways. The physician has been here for half an hour now. Exactly 45 — nah, I just glanced at my watch again — 47 minutes now. He had his tools and had been piercing syringes into Father's body. So far, he hasn't said a word. Just mournful sighs and shaking his head. Those gestures, however small they seemed, were only making me more nervous and making my legs shaky. “Doc,” I called him sharply. He looked at me and the fear in his eyes skyrocketed my anxiety. “Tell me something.” My voice was a sorry blend of fear, anxiety, anger, and…despair. “He'll…he'll be fine.” Those didn't come out firmly. But they chilled my fear a bit. “However…”“What is it?” “His nerves got terribly weakened by th

RICHARD (Elena's father)The soothing air and bright weather meant the Heavens were in a great mood. The soft chattering from the pedestrians and the soothing aura from my Pack should calm me a great deal. As an Alpha, it was everything, knowing your people were happy and okay. But right now, I couldn't feel a shred of happiness. Seeing them strolling the streets so casually yanked at my grief. Heightened every bit of sadness howling in my heart. It felt like a blatant mock of my agony.Why do they get the chance to be so happy but my Elena has been held by the rogues for weeks? She's been through ugly hell in the hands of those…bastards! Why her? She's the prettiest thing that ever existed. She deserved to be out in these streets, jumping in excitement and eating every candy she got her hands on. Elena deserves every bit of happiness these commoners are enjoying. I hate to sound so bitter and arrogant, but I can't help it. I just…I miss my baby so much. Tears drenched my face ag
