Chapter 15 I Want To Announce The Marriage

“No. Maeve and I are in agreement on this. There’s nothing for me at home. For whatever reason, the relationship between my father and I have broken down and I do not get along well with my stepfamily. My stepmother and her daughter are very much alike.” “What about your mother?”

Ann gripped her hands tightly on her seat belt and scowled. She tried her best to hide the hostility from her voice, but some irritation still seeped out.

“She’s dead. I’m not ready to talk about it with you yet if you don’t mind Alpha.”

Adam glanced sideways at her and nodded again, slowly. “And your friend at the cafe?” He questioned casually. “Oh, that’s Lexi. I’ve known her since school. She’s not affiliated with any packs.”

“A rogue? Lone wolf?” Adam questioned curiously. “No,” Ann answered simply.

She didn’t want to go into too much detail because she knew the reputation that Daemon hybrids had. The Pack’s hated them because of their ancient ties with sorcery and witchcraft. Although the contracts that used to be forged were long since broken, the bad feeling towards the race was still prevalent.

Ann would prefer for Lexi to be understood for the person she was, not influenced by an outdated grudge. Adam sighed lightly and shifted in his seat.

“I’m only asking so I know what to expect Ann. For this to work, we’re going to have to put on a united front. I can’t do that if I don’t know what’s going on.” He said calmly.
