My Step-Dad Is My Mate

"I'm sorry but could you repeat that in my better ear?" I asked Ilene as I tilted my head to other side and leaned closer to her.

"What? I'm marrying Ka-"

"That's what I thought you said. Ilene," I backed away a little from her and tightly gripped my towel, "Please don't Make me catch a case.” llene stared at me with a lost expression while I was fucking fuming.

"I don't see why my wedding is making you so mad. I mean if you don't like the color of the invite, I can get it changed for you.” Ilene eyed the invite with narrowed eyes.

"Color of the invite? Color of the FUCKING INVITE?" I asked as I began to laugh uncontrollably.

llene raised a brow at me and wagged her finger in my face, "We might be besties Danica but watch how you talk to me. I am an Alpha.”

"Bitch we were never besties. This bullshit is only one and it sure as hell isn't on my side."

I noticed Ilene slightly turn a light shade of pink, "You are no longer invited to my wedding!" She said in a high pitched tone

"Fuck you and your imaginary wedding llene! He isn't marrying you and he never was. So whatever Cloud you are on, I suggest you come back down because it's got you fucked up... As well as me."

llene growled at me and I tightened my towel, preparing myself for anything she may throw at me. Goddess only know how I have the restraint to not jump her.

"You like him don't you?" She asked,"WELL YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM HE'S MINE!"

"Listen here Bitch, he is-" I was cut off by the sudden impact of a punch llene threw that nearly knocked me off my feet.

I glared at her and spit a small pool of blood that was gathering in my mouth in her face and she screamed loudly.

Goddess forgive me for this.

Kaden's POV

"Alpha, there was a young female here looking for you.” A pack member told me as I opened the door to the pack house.

I immediately knew it was Danica, due to the scent.

"Yes, thank you Ophelia. Where is she?" I asked the young girl who pointed up.

"I think she's in your office.”

"Thank you." I said and began to walk up to my office, anxious to see my mate.

"Oh! And Ilene was looking for you again!" Ophelia called out and I frowned to myself.

I had made it clear to Ilene that I was not marrying her. She acts like a deranged female, coming back rejection after rejection after rejection. It's insane! Well, Ilene is insane. I've been trying to get in contact with her father to tell him there never will be a wedding but I always get a "he’s busy" or "he's out of town" kind of response from his pack.

So I think it's pretty safe to say the bastard is avoiding me but no worries, I'm just waiting on the day I have no work to complete to go down to his pack personally and-

"WELL YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM HE'S MINE!"

I stopped dead in my tracks at the shrill irritating voice that could only belong to Ilene. This broad just give up.

I listened attentively to try to see if she spoke again so I'd know exactly where she is. llene's scent was scattered all over the place. Meaning she had been all over my pack house. Great. My guards do their job, trust me but Ilene has been coming here so much and so often, I think they've given up on driving her away.

Wait, Danica is here...and llene is here...

Oh shit.

Danica's POV

"GET OFF OF ME!" Ilene screamed as she flailed her arms wildly while I sat on her back, gripping her hair tightly in my hand.

"Then say there is no wedding." I said with a growl

"Get your disgusting fucking hands off me! My wedding and my fiancé are none of your business!"

"Wrong answer." I tightened my grip on the fist full of hair in my hands and pulled on it roughly.

"Hey what's all that-" Aaron's eyes widened at the sight before him. My grip on llene’s hair never faltered while I looked directly at him and the small group of wolves behind him.

Everyone's gaze was fixated on the screaming llene and the almost half naked me in the towel.

"Aaron. What's all that screami- Danica! Who's that?" Racheal asked as she made her way through the crowd to her husband's side.

"That's the crazy girl trying to marry Kaden.” Aaron semi-whispered which was a fail since we all heard him.

"Oh Irene?" She asked again and Aaron nodded.

"Luna, shouldn't we get the Alpha?" A little girl who looked about 1 0 asked Racheal but she shook her head.

"Oh No sweetie. This one needs her ass-I mean..She needs some sense knocked into her. I suggest we all clear the hallway and pretend we never saw anything or stay and watch. Anyone got a Snickers?"

"My Daddy will kill every one of you!!" llene screamed and I scoffed and let go of her hair suddenly, causing her to slam her face into the floor. "Someone's going to need a bandaid for that bruise.” Racheal said then coughed lightly.

"Everyone move."

The crowd of people scattered as his voice rose about 3 octaves and I knew I was screwed.

Kaden walked by the pack members as they had cleared a walkway for him.

"What's going on here?" He asked, his eyes piercing into mine and I clutched my towel.

"She attacked me Baby!" Ilene screamed and scrambled to her feet while holding her head which I knew must be killing her about now. Kaden looked to his left, then to his right and then finally looked behind him and then turned to back in Ilene and my direction.

"I know damn well I told you to never show your ass here again so you can't be talking to me."

"Place your bets.." I heard Racheal whisper to the people around her and Aaron was first to drop a $20 in her hand.

"Can you two stop for like 5 minutes?" Kaden said without turning around and Racheal rolled her eyes before nudging Aaron.

"I'm keeping that $20." She said with a smile then sent me a wink as I tried to hold in my laughter.

"Kaden but your we-" Ilene began but was cut off by a loud snort from someone in the small crowd of people.

Kaden sighed and brushed past her, making his way to stand right in front of me,” Are you okay?"

He asked me and I nodded.

He eyed me up and down for a few seconds then shut his eyes and sighed deeply.

"Someone get her some clothes. Quick!"

"Ew, don't talk to her Kaden. She tried to kill me!"

"Sweetheart, you're not relevant, why do you keep embarrassing yourself?" Racheal asked as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"I think it's about time you leave Ilene. You are not welcome on this land and I'll be sure to personally let your father know that."

Kaden took hold of my hand, dragging my attention away from the scene and opened his office door, "Come on. Too many eyes are on you."

A few wolf whistles were heard from and I blushed a bright pink.

"We'll see how Daddy feels about this." Ilene said softly to herself as she watched me with hate in her eyes as she pushed people to the side to get her exit.

"You guys are free to push her back, just so you know." Racheal said as she waved her fingers in the air as a way of saying “bye’ and pulled her husband with her as she left.

Kaden pulled me into his office and closed the door behind us. He leaned against the door with his hand over his mouth.

"I hope you didn't actually believe..me and her..."

"No. I didn't." I replied and looked down at my feet, still somewhat blushing from before.

He breathed a sigh of relief and shot me a smile. Goddess, he is breathtaking

"We need to get rid of that.” Kaden said.

"What?" I asked with wide eyes. He leaned off the door and made his way to me, moving my hair away from my neck, exposing Richard's mark.

"That."

"Oh." I had almost forgotten about that since it hasn't really burned or bothered me in a while.

"But we have enough time for that. Whenever you're ready, okay?" He spoke softly as he looked down at me.

"Hey. I just saw Ilene... Oh..bad time?" Aiden said as he opened the door and once receiving a glare from Kaden, he started to back away,"Okay okay. I can take a hint." He smirked then shut the door.

"Danica" Kaden cleared his throat,"Um..will you uh.. Go out with me tomorrow night?”
