His Cursed Mate ✔️

Chapter 5: Fates

Ashley:

"D...daddy." I stuttered standing up quickly.

I tried not to look as guilty as I felt. My cheeks were flaming with embarrassment.

"Daddy?" The guy behind me whispered with a curse.

Dads jaw was set hard as he looked past me at the mystery guy, his blue eyes blank.

"Inside now Ashley!" He said calmly, too calm for my liking.

"Yes daddy." I muttered quickly shuffling past him.

I had never really seen my dad angry.

He was such a loving dotting father and husband.

He was just naturally happy all the time.

Well not tonight.

"Now you Mister..." I ran upstairs as quickly as I could droning out the long lecture, dad was sure to give the jerk downstairs.

As I laid in bed I couldn't help thinking about what would have happened had dad not opened the door.

Those luscious lips of the mystery guy would have touched mine.

My lips tingled at the mere thought.

What was wrong with me?

Why was I having these absurd thoughts?

Sure he was hot, but not irresistible!

And somewhere out there was my Mate.

I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate me practically throwing myself at a guy I didn't even know.

I didn't even know his name for goshsakes!

My ears focused in on the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs.

I knew who it was before there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I sat up in bed wrapping my arms around my knees and laying my head there.

Dad walked in and sat down on my bed, making it dip with his weight.

I stared at him, every fiber in me tensed up.

Finally he let out a long breath.

His blue eyes found mine as he ran a hand through his mussled brown hair.

He looked tired.

I guess being Alpha to a pack did take its toll on you.

"Ashley ..."

"Dad before you say anything it is not like it seems..."

"Well what do you want me to think when there is a half naked boy on my door step with my daughter just oh so close to him?" Chris, closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. Finally after a few minutes he opened his eyes "Look I know your 18 now, and you know what your doing. But no Ashley, please don't get involved with this boy. He'll just bring you heartache and trouble. "

I felt my heart drop to the pit of my stomach as my father stared at me pleading.

I would never hurt my dad.

I knew this meant so much to him.

"Alright daddy I promise I won't. " I said.

He smiled at me before giving me a hug.

"Love you Ashley. " He whispered.

"Love you too daddy."

"Now get some sleep sweetheart. " Dad kissed the top of my head before standing up.
