The Lycan’s Contract Mate

“You are right, your dad gave other conditions, don’t worry though, I told him no, I will find another way, you don’t have to think or concern yourself about it I ha***”

“The heck I will not,”

She let out cutting me off, I really wasn’t in the mood to have this conversation with her, I refuse to drag her into this any more than she is already in, once she leaves O-when which will happen as soon as the wedding is done then her dad will change his mind about helping me, hopefully, because he seem to like Jordan more why else would he have met him even though I was the one that got Arielyn to go meet up with him, he clearly wanted Jordan to get back with Arielyn and even though she said she hated him, there was no erasing the fact that they were once fated to be together forever, that’s not something that can easily be forgotten not to mention her dad being on Jordan side, it will only take a little stress to get them both together again, not like I am jealous of what they have but I wish Arielyn didn’t have any connections with my brother.

“Hello? Will you talk to me,”

she asked, waving her hand to get my attention.

“Arielyn, just focus on your best friend’s wedding preparations and don’t bother about what your dad wants, I am not letting him use me to get to you,”

I said, trying to change her mind.

“I am focused and I also want to help you as much as I can, that’s the least I can do, you gave me a place to stay when you didn’t even know much about me, it is only right that I help in return,”

She said and I shook my head, there was no way she would do it for me.

“Do you know what your dad told me when I went to see him? What he want me to help him tell you?”

I asked hoping that she would just let the matter go but the stubborn woman wasn’t having any of that.

“Yeah, I want to know,”

She let out in a determined voice folding her hands over her chest and drawing my attention to her boobs which were kind of popping out of the crop top she had on, her eyes followed mine and she unfolded her arms and glared at me.

“I didn’t say to stare at my boobs young man,”

She cautioned.

“Sorry, what were we saying again?”

I asked even though I knew what it was, I was still hoping she would give it up already.

“You were about to tell me what my dad told you, even though I might already have an idea,”

She said and she didn’t look pleased.

“Right, as you probably may already know, your dad wants me to get you to agree to stay back here and run that hospital he built for you,”

I revealed. She didn’t look surprised, just nonchalant about it.

“I knew it, that sly old wolf,”

she said.

“So? You still want to help?”

I asked even though I already knew her answer.

“Yeah, I still want to,”

she responded, shocking me, I never expected her to say yes.

“Really? You will stay back in O-when and do as your dad said?”

I asked just to be sure.

“No, I told you I won’t do that,”

She said and the small hope that I had disappeared just as fast as it appeared, did I really think she would change her mind for me?

“Yeah, I must have heard you wrong,”

I said and made to walk away but stopped.

“If I may ask, what’s wrong with running a hospital here? What if your dad is trying to make up for all that time, he wasn’t good to you? What if he is trying to bond with you?”

I asked and knew I made a mistake when I felt a shift in the atmosphere, she was beyond pissed.

“What do you know? How did I ever think you would understand me? What part of ‘I don’t want to live under my father’s shadow’ don’t you understand?”

she yelled at me.

“I am just asking a question, you don’t have to be angry at me for that, your dad seems to want you to remain here in O-when,”

I responded. Thinking about it now, it was clear that’s what George wanted but he was going about it the wrong way, trying to force something on her, if only I could find a way of keeping her here and also by that gaining her Father’s full support without losing her, a thought came to my head but it was not something that would happen, Arielyn would never agree to something like that.

“You think I don’t want to stay back here? You think I like being away from my place of birth? I am leaving because my dad made it so, do you think people that think I am cursed will welcome me to the pack, or will allow me to live among them? I am going back to Dilgem because at least there no one knows me as a cursed child that brings bad luck,”

She cried out, wiping angry tears from her eyes, I felt bad for making her sad but if she wanted to stay so bad, I don’t see what stopping her, the only wants that thinks she is cursed are the pack members which are scattered all over O-when who might not even recognize her now, also if she is so scared of being hated, she can always just choose to deal with humans, more than half of those who work for me are humans.

“Arielyn, you are making things hard for yourself, if you don’t want to live in your dad’s shadow, you can always find a job here, you can live with me too,”

I told her but that did nothing to light up her mood.

“Yeah, you think I will get a job? Do you know who my dad is? Do you know why I ended up living with you in the first place? Because he fucking threatened Rose’s family, what do you think he will do when he finds out I live with you? I want to help you not cause you more trouble,”

she yelled out each word.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Okay fine, if you really want to help then be mine,”

I let out and we both froze…
