My Step-Dad Is My Mate novel Chapter 16

Danica's POV

Two Weeks Later

"Be careful Dani!" My mom yelled to me I ran out of the house to school.

"Yeah I know." I replied through our link, not bothering to strain my voice on yelling.

I've been doing make up work to catch up on the school work I've been missing. Today marked about a week or two since I've been back and I didn't want to go but I needed to graduate. I just hope they don't make me double up another year because of my absence.

Recently I haven't heard anything about Richard and I honestly just hoped he would stay gone.

Although, I need to still reject him but I assumed if maybe we just stayed away from one another and maybe if I found someone else in the future, the bond would break on it's own, but then again that was just my assumption.

I hoped it was right. My mind has been on him lately and I kinda missed him. Damn mark. It still hurt to touch it because I refuse to accept it but when it itches and I can't scratch it, oh man that's hell.

As I walked along the sidewalk, a beeping of a car was heard behind me so I turned around and it was a black BMW. I eyes it suspiciously as it pulled it up next to me.

Relief flooded me as the window rolled down and I saw Aiden.

"God you scared me!" I exclaimed and he laughed.

"Get in,we seem to be going the same way." He said with a shrug and I gladly got in and secured on my seatbelt.

"It's been a while since I've seen you, how are you?" Aiden asked me and I smiled at the sincerity in his voice.

Since I left Aiden's pack, we haven't seen much of each other since he's back to his usual busyness of pack duties and I'm focusing on school so there hasn't been much time for us to spend together.

But despite that we've been good friends above it all.

"I'm good Aiden." I replied and raised his brow while staring intently at the road.

"You sure?" He asked and I nodded, reassuring him.
