Desired By My Mate novel Chapter 1

~Avery~

I looked at my reflection in the mirror to make sure that my clothes covered each and every one of my bruises, if I could do my own makeup, I would have used foundation to hide them, I did not know why I bothered so much, it was not as if anyone actually cared to notice, I was basically invisible at school and I liked it, it was my escape from this hell that I call a pack, if I had the guts to get into trouble so I would be stuck in detention, I would do it but Liam would make sure to whip me because of the time I wasted at school.

I walked to my bed and grabbed my bag pack when Emily got into my room without knocking, as usual, she had a frown on her face.

‘’Good Morning, Emily.’’ I greeted her.

‘’What exactly is good about the morning, huh? The Alpha wants to see you, I don’t know what kind of trouble that you have gotten yourself into but it better not cost me my job or else, you would be a dead meat and nobody would notice.’’ She threatened me with a straight face.

I did not know whom to be scared of, my father hardly requested for me except it was something bad as Emily claimed but I have not done anything, I went straight to my room after what happened last night except Liam has poisoned his mind against me again.

‘’Why are you still standing there like you have seen a ghost? Move, you always have to be slow, gosh.’’ She said in an irritated tone.

I nodded and left my room with her trailing behind me, fear enveloped me as I descended the stairs, I had to calm myself down when I did not see Liam pacing up and down in the living room like he used to whenever he wanted to punish me.

He had the same confused look like Emily.

‘’Good Morning, Father.’’ I greeted him.

My greeting made Liam to shoot a deadly glare at me, ‘’How many times will I tell you to address him as Alpha, not father.’’

I was quick to apologize with a shaky voice, ‘’I am sorry.’’

‘’Let her be, it does not matter, I am still her father, I never disowned her.’’ He finally spoke.

I was beyond surprised at his reply, what could have happened to him, this morning?

He seemed to have woken up at the right side of the bed or my mother must have warned him in his dream to start treating me better.

‘’But she has to still accord respect before she forgets her place in this pack.’’ He argued.

My dad squinted his eyes at his son as a warning, ‘’I said, drop it.’’

He knew better to shut it.

‘’Drop your bag, you will not be going there today.’’ He ordered.

If I was bold enough, I would have protested.

Just when I thought that he was about to be a responsible nice father, he chose to disappoint me, he really wanted me to ditch school so I could work all day, I am sure that Emily and Liam would be happy, the fact that I was given the privilege to go to school.

I gently dropped my bag on the chair beside me.

‘’Emily.’’ He called her name.

‘’Yes, sir.’’

‘’Go upstairs with some other servants and pack her bags.’’ He ordered them.

Uncontrollable tears instantly escaped my eyes and rolled down my cheeks.

Even though, my vision was nearly blinded by my tears, I could see the evil smirk on Liam’s face.

I heard him mutter under his breath, ‘’Finally, he is kicking her out.’’

I fell to my knees and chose to beg him, I had no where to go if he was going to kick me out, I would barely survive a day out there without food or shelter, I did not even have a mate to save me from this trouble.

If only my mother’s spirit could disturb him so he could stop this madness, how could he treat his daughter like this.

I have never enjoyed a father-daughter relationship, not once as I grew up.
