The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Arielyn

Kendrix dropped me off in front of Rose’s house before he and Raul left. I knocked on the gate and was let into the house.

“Is Rose in her room?”

I asked the help I saw when I walked into the main house and she nodded, I thanked her and continued to her room. I knocked and opened the door. Rose was talking to another of the help and she was so focused that she didn’t even notice me.

“Baby? I am here,”

I announced my presence and got her attention.

“Barrie, just a moment please,”

She said and continued talking to the maid, I waited patiently, the gist I had for her circling in my head.

“You won’t believe what happened last night,”

I said to Win-rose as soon as we were alone, we hugged each other, and she pulled me along with her to the sitting area in her room. As expected she was all ears and ready for the full gist and I told her the full details of what happened last night starting from when he asked me to be his to when he sealed our agreement with a soul-scattering kiss, I didn’t forget to mention the kiss we shared before Raul came in.

“Oh my God, that’s a lot that happened in less than twenty-four hours, you guys are moving fast,”

Win said when I was done giving her the full details of what went down, in a gleeful voice that can only be associated with her.

“For real, I didn’t even expect him to kiss me but he did,”

I said, holding my face.

“Girl, your love story is so entertaining mine pales in comparison, why did I have to find love the boring way?”

Rose said in a dramatic voice and we both started laughing. It was really interesting how things were moving with Ken. I know we were faking it but it didn’t feel like it for me, I genuinely liked him and he seemed to like me too.

“So? Are you guys going to make a formal announcement or something? Would you be telling your dad or waiting for him to find out for himself, will he really let you stay here and do what you want?”

Rose asked.

“Yes, I am going to see my dad and I am going to tell him that Kendrix is my second chance mate, and I only answer to what my mate wants, I made sure to let Ken know I had no plan of doing what my dad wants so it is his job to convince him to let me do my thing, if that is successful, then I don’t have to leave O-when anymore,”

I explained to her and Win looked so excited as I already knew she would be, the best part of the contract I signed with Kendrix, aside from getting laid, is being able to stay here in O-when, I never knew how much I wanted to stay back here until I signed that contract, hoping my dad listens to me and Ken.

“This is great news, I am so happy right now, I have been counting the days until you have to leave and I didn’t like it at all, I want you to be close to me always and if Ken can make that happen, I am going to be grateful to him forever.”

Win-rose let out an excited voice that made me laugh.

“Me too Rose, I act like I don’t care but no matter how this place has cost me pain, I still want to be here and I want to be able to do so freely,”

I responded.

“So? If he does win this fight against your ex-mate, would you guys go as far as getting married?”

Rose asked. I haven’t thought about that yet and it wasn’t stated in our contract but I would assume that will be the case, I already like Ken so much and would not mind being married to him, in fact, the thought of it made my heart sing with joy, I knew that was Ae doing her thing.

“I hope so,”

I told her sincerely. I never thought of marriage before but with Kendrix, yes, I will definitely love being married to him, it would be amazing.

“Wow, you really fell for him, didn’t you? ”

Win asked knowingly.

“I did, I mean what’s there not to like, he is hot, rich, kind, and a perfect gentleman, it is not every day that you find such traits in an alpha,”

I told her. Yes, in my heart, Ken was already the alpha,

“What’s that? Alpha? Already, but you were denying feeling anything for him just a day or two ago, what changed?”

Rose asked and I smiled shyly.

“Well, he told me to be his, and even though I signed a clause for it, he didn’t make me feel like it was just a contract, plus he kissed me,”

I said covering my face.

“Oh my! I don’t know what that did to you but I like it, my ship sailed, I am so happy for you, you deserve to be happy and you deserve to get laid, you better not keep the details away when that happens, I want to know everything,”

Rose said and I rolled my eyes, she was pushing it.

“No one said we are going to sleep together, Rose. Did you miss the part where I said it was just a contract? I promise you that I am the only one excited and giggly about this whole thing, for Ken it is just a way to get what he wants,”

I said in all seriousness even though Ken had specifically said we will do everything every other couple does, I should lower my expectations but I couldn’t.

“You believe that? Or you are just saying this so that I won’t ask? I can see through you woman,”

Rose warned.

“Right, I forgot for a moment, really Rose, I don’t even feel like I signed a contract for this, I am so happy right now and I don’t know what to make out of it, I feel like I have won something,”

I told her sincerely.

“I think you guys are meant for each other, I am telling you that he might really be your mate, I don’t know why you don’t see it that way,”

she said but I shook my head, yes, I like him a lot and my wolf does too but he wasn’t the one, when it happened with Jordan, I knew as soon as we met and he did too, it was different with Ken, if he was my mate, I would know once or he would, both of us would have felt something, some kind of instant connection. We do have a connection but not the kind I felt the first time I met Jordan eight years ago.

“Never say never Arielyn Barrie Embry, it might be different this time because you both had someone else before, maybe that’s why, you never can tell,”

Rose said.

“Why did you have to mention my full government name for that? Whatever it is, I don’t care right now, I like him and I would pick him over that ingrate that thinks he still has a hold over me, if only he knew,”

I said shaking my head, Jordan was out of his mind if he thinks I would come back to him after what he did, he can be close to my dad all he wants but he will never get me, I already know why he is trying anyway, not because he likes me or thinks of me as his mate but because of what he would gain, up until he found out my dad could help him, he called me names and even told Ken and I that we are meant for each other, funny how he changed so fast.

“Wow, you, my lady, are in love,”

Rose

“I am not, I like him, a lot but it is not the same as falling in love with him, I mean, that can happen too but I don’t think it happened just yet,”

I replied.

“Yeah, keep lying to yourself ma’am, I am telling you that we will be planning your wedding in a couple of months and you will be an excited and so in love bride to be like me,”

Rose gabbled excitedly.

She was so sure about us getting married but I didn’t want to think too hard about that just yet, one step at a time, but bet you if he asks me today to marry him? I might say yes, but I mean not like I can say no to him.

Rose and I spent the whole day together, we had to look for a new hairstylist and makeup artist as the one she had wanted to use had to take a leave to tend to her mom who got into a car crash, it was hard to find a new one but we finally did, by the time I left Rose’s house it was already evening.

I knew it was late but I wanted to meet with my dad today to tell him so instead of going home, yup, Ken’s house is my new home, I told the driver to take me to my father’s house.

“Is my father home?”

I asked the housekeeper I met when I entered the main house even though I was sure he would be home, he was always home, he was no longer the CEO of the company, and that would be the reason he was always at home, my oldest brother took over from him, I tapped on his door before opening it, he wasn’t inside, maybe because it was evening already, I was about to turn around and leave when the inner door opened and he walked out.

“Barrie? You came back?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

He asked. He looked shocked and kind of excited to see me, well, he was smiling.
