His dark hair fell just above his eyes, and the way he looked at me made me look away. It was my step father-in-law, Damian Blackwell. “I… I—” I stammered and straightened my back, trying to appear stronger than I felt. “I don’t need a babysitter.” “You’re out here in the cold,” he said, taking a few steps closer. “You’re going to hurt yourself.”

Miller, sitting beside his wife, nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with paternal pride. Susan paused for a moment, her expression thoughtful. "Well, Mom and Dad, after breaking up with Mateo, I did try dating other guys. But none of them could compare to Mateo. He set the bar so high in terms of compatibility and connection," she confessed, her voice tinged with longing and vulnerability.

my father snapped, his face drained of color and my blood ran cold. “Why?”he demanded, his firsts curling into balls and I straightened. “Because he is my mate “I answered lowering my head. “ Mate ?” How can you be mated to someone like him “ my father spat his eyes darkening. The words hit me like a physical blow. “ Father, he is my mate and I want no one but him, “ I declared. His eyes widened in disbelief as he swallowed hard,my words tasting like metal on his tongue.

"Is there going to be trouble in the future? Matteo, I would like to know before I get blindsided." Faced with Amelia’s determined expression, Matteo could only sigh and reluctantly tell her. "My father just came to inform me about a family dinner happening two weeks from now. The both of us need to be in attendance, while my―" Here, Matteo’s lips pinched as though he had just sucked on a lemon, "―stepmother judges your worth as my wife. I have tried to refuse, but he is adamant that we have to show up."

’ Nadzieja asked hopefully. ‘Of course not! He is my second cousin. I don’t care if relations between second cousins and distant relatives are legal. It’s just gross.

I sighed, shoulders sinking as I looked away from my frail mother to my father.

Chapter Thirty-One Mateo's POV This has got to be one of the most awkward lunches I have ever had in my life. I don't know what Father was thinking inviting Mia over. I couldn't possibly tell her to leave— that would be rude and stupid. She was going to be my wife; and father already had the perfect mental picture that our engagement was going smoothly.

******************** It's finally the day of the mate ceremony, I've gone back and forth about attending but both my father and Alpha Kelly insisted that I attend and I can't say no to them, but I'm not sure I can watch Heather as she mates with Jeho. As I put on my ceremonial wear, I think back on the call I had with my father last night, he didn't sound too good, but he played it off as stress and for the first time he insisted I attend a mate ceremony, saying who knows my mate might be there, that it's high time I had a woman in my life.

I have found my mate already." My father's expression changed from one of mild interest to shock. "Your mate?" he repeated, incredulously. "What are you talking about?"

My step mother asked out of concern, being the caring and sensitive person she was, while my father was looking at me with many questions in his eyes, as if he wanted to ask me whether that was all I was here to talk about. Getting his signal, I replied, “Yes mother, she is okay now, but there is one thing that I want to tell you two.” I glanced up briefly to find two pairs of eyes staring at me with curiosity, and I mustered my strength to speak. “She…she is actually not just Andy’s friend, but…she is my mate!” “Your mate?!” Both of them exclaimed in unison, before my step mother added her question after a few seconds of consideration. “If she is your mate, why didn't you tell me this the l
