Mine - The Alpha's Possession

CHAPTER 10

I stayed in bed for ages just lying there thinking about the dream when I finally decided to get up and I could see the sun was starting to go down.So, I must have had a few hours' sleep that day.I dragged myself out of bed and I walked downstairs and mom was home from work and was in the kitchen making dinner.

"Hi.I was going to wake you for dinner but I thought you needed the rest."

She says watching me head for the coffee pot.

"No.I got a couple hours sleep.Any more than that and I probably won't sleep tonight." I say.

"That's a good point."She says.

"Do you need a hand?"I asked looking around at everything that she had scattered on the bench.

"Nope.It's almost done."She says.

"Where's Isaac?"I asked.

"Oh.It's just us tonight.Isaac is on patrol duty tonight."She says.

"Oh yeah.I see you two are still getting along better than before I left."I say.

"I know that we're not fated mates and we chose each other as mates.But I couldn't have chosen a better man than Isaac.I can't wait until you find your mate."Mom says.

"Yeah.I haven't really thought about it."I say sitting at the table.

"You'll be 18 soon.You should start thinking about it."She says.

"I doubt that my mate is in this pack.And if he is, I really hope it's not a complete dickhead because this place is crawling with them." I say rolling my eyes and looking out the window.I was glad that our house wasn't too close to any neighbours.

We had privacy here.I enjoyed that about this place.It was quiet.

"you won't think he's a dickhead when he's your mate." She assures me.

" I know.But that's how I feel now.I don't know why."I say.

"Don't worry.Everything will be fine when you meet him.You should be excited about finding him."She says.

"Thanks.Like I said, I haven't really thought about it.I know that you and dad weren't fated mates and you just had a kid together.What did happen there?"I asked.

"We were dating and I got pregnant.That's pretty much all there was to it.He then found his fated mate with Victoria and I never found my fated mate.But I started dating Isaac and everything seemed to go great."She says.

"Did you ever love dad?"I asked.

"Yeah.For a brief moment in time.But I'm glad that it has worked out like this.I'd prefer it this way."She says.

Mom dished up dinner and we sat at the table talking together and catching up on everything that's happened over the last year.

There were some things that were good and some things that weren't.

And mom looked really uncomfortable as we were sitting there eating dinner.
