My Step-Dad Is My Mate novel Chapter 31

"Is he treating you good?"

"Of course. It's been a few days since we've had our little heart to heart and he's coming around slowly", I confided somewhat sadly to Richard.

We were sitting about half a mile away from pack borders, in my Haven. My Alpha said I could no longer bring him into pack territory so we meet up here to talk.

A part of me will always care about him, no matter how badly he fucked up. He was my mate after all, the bond between us might be broken but hey, I'm not completely heartless. It's nice to know that he's at least okay. Being a rogue is not easy, believe me.

"That's good..." He replied.

"Maybe we shouldn't talk about this..." I rubbed my arm oddly and he sucked his teeth.

"No no. It's fine and I'm fine. Trust me. You deserve this." Richard gave me a flash of a smile before he got up and cracked his neck," I’d better be going."

"Yeah..I better go too. Finally meeting Aiden's mate today." I said excitedly. He's been going on and on about Adrianna for a longest and begged me to come meet her today. Kaden would be there too, since he hasn't actually officially met her either.

"You'll let me know how that goes."

~•~

"Danica, right? It's nice to meet you." Adrianna said to me as she extended her hand for me to shake. Adrianna, Aiden and I were sitting in a small bistro. I nearly turned around and left when I entered because they two were showing enough PDA to blow up the USA.

"Likewise," I replied and gladly shook her hand," Aiden talks about you a lot."

She laughed and nudged Aiden with her shoulder," Blowing her mind huh hunny?"

Aiden chuckled shyly and looked down as a light blush came on his cheeks. Well, she seems nice.

"Is Kaden still coming?" I asked Aiden as I sipped my mocha latte.

He shrugged his shoulders and played with Adrianna's fingers, "He told me he had a few things to take care of before he came. Why don't we order some food to go and go back to the pack?"

"Aww but we just got here." Adrianna whined and a sudden stab or irritation hit me.

"No. It's okay. I'll go," I said as I picked up my drink cup and stood up,"You two stay here and enjoy yourselves."

"You sure Dani? It's no problem really." Aiden replied but before I could reply, Adrianna spoke.

"Oh!" She exclaimed and laughed loudly before pulling a short silk dress out of her side bag," I always keep it in case of emergencies. Here. You have it."

Slowly I took the dress and cringed. Today was the not the day I felt like wearing a dress.

"Thank you."

"No problem. What are besties for right?" She nudged my arm,"Oh! I have the wedding invite for you by the way. I was hoping I'd see you soon."

Ilene dug around in her purse while my eyes widened in shock.

Is she still...No, it can't be.

"Oh? Wedding? To who?" I asked, praying she didn't say his name.

"Oh uhh" She bit her upper lip while she searched then smiled as she pulled out a small light brown paper with a gold ribbon on top of it, "Kaden of course."

And it was in that moment... I snapped.
