Lex walked into my dad’s office and put me down. He shut the door and started pacing around. He tangled his fingers into his hair and took a deep breath.

“Lex…,” I mumbled, but he stopped me immediately.

“No, Sophia,” he said, looking up at him. “You are not going anywhere near that man.”

My heart clenched painfully.

I understood why Lex and my dad didn’t want me near him, but he was my mate. I wanted to talk to him. I needed to talk to him.

“He is my mate,” I said quietly.

Lex growled and started pacing around the office again. I watched as he clenched his fists repeatedly.

“His father is an insane bastard,” Lex said angrily. “His son is probably the same. He can’t be trusted. We can’t allow this.”

Stella tensed up. I growled.

Lex looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t, Sophia,” he said. “You know that I am right.”

“We don’t know him,” I argued. “He could be different than his father.”

Lex approached me and placed his hands on my shoulders. He bent down to look into my eyes.

“His father tried to take our mom away,” Lex said, gritting his teeth. “His father tried to kill Aunt Daisy and Mason.”

My heart felt like it was being stabbed repeatedly.

My dad’s office door burst open. Mason and Mike ran inside.

“Is it true?” Mason growled loudly as he approached me and grabbed my arm.

“Yes,” Lex said as he looked at him. “You know the whole story?”

“What story?” Mike asked. “Who do we need to beat up?”

Mason nodded and pulled me into a hug. All of us ignored Mike.

“I am sorry, Soph,” he mumbled. “You deserve a better mate.”

I wrapped my arms around my cousin and let the tears fall down my cheeks.

They didn’t know him. I didn’t know him. They were talking about him like he was the one who tried to take my mom and kill my aunt. Would they even let me meet him? Would they even allow him to show us that he wasn’t his father?

Stella whined.

She knew the answer. We both did.

CHAPTER NINE – He Isn’t His Father

Emma’s POV

I was in complete shock.

Alpha Nathan’s son was my daughter’s mate?! Was the Goddess messing with us?

“Where is he taking her?!” Alpha Hunter screamed, trying to get out of Logan’s hold. “She is mine! Bring her back!”
