The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Kendrix

I stood there not knowing how best to ask her for what I needed from her, I honestly didn’t want to do this but as it stands, I had no choice, it was either I ask her now or Jordan will beat me to it and he had an upper hand here seeing as they were once mates, I thought that won’t help going by how he treated her but I was wrong.

I spent the last couple of day trying to set a meeting with her father and when he had finally agreed to meet with me, I found out he was also meeting with Jordan, we met at her father’s mansion and he had listened attentively to what each of us had to say, he then told us to give him time to think, which was four days ago, and today, we got called to his house and he had a job for us, according to him, he has been trying to get his daughter, who was living at my house to come see him, not that he knew she lived with me though, anyway, according him, she was mad at him for something he did and all he wanted was what was best for her but she was stubbornly refusing to listen to him, I had strong urge to defend Arielyn, her father was so wrong for how controlling he was trying to be, I didn’t say anything only because I needed his help, back to why I was currently standing in front of the woman and almost losing my mind, her dad wants us to convince her to come see him and he even gave her contact to us, said that whoever is able to get her to come see him would get a solo meeting with him, I really wanted the meeting but I didn’t know how Arielyn would react to it.

“Hello? Ken? Where did you go off to?”

Arielyn asked bringing me out of my head, she was looking at me expectantly, I already knew what her response would be, at least I have an idea, I gave in yesterday and did a few pieces of research on her and her family and realized their relationship was even worse than she let on, not like I totally believe what I read on the internet, but going by how she was completely unknown she was to the public, in fact, the last photo of her that was on the internet was of when she had turned eighteen, during when Jordan had rejected her, there was no recent photo of her and any article that talked about her wrote about her family wiping her existence off. if only they knew the lady they are talking about was currently staring at me like I was out of my mind, she kind of looked scared too, I wondered why, or maybe she thought she was in trouble.

“Hey, don’t look so scared, I am not going to do anything that will harm you in all way,”

I said scratching my head, my board of directors and workers would never believe it if anyone told them that someone got me this nervous, I honestly didn’t want her to hate me or anything, we didn’t have anything going on but I want to remain on her good side, if only there was another way to get her dad to speak to me personally without getting her involved but her old wolf was as sly as mine and they were both making me go against my will, something I never normally do.

“You know, if you are going to keep standing there and looking at me without saying anything, I am going to assume the worse and I am really good at making scenarios up in my head, what do I get called for that? Yeah, an overthinker, so please put me out of my misery and tell me what is going on,”

She said, I let out a sign and just decided to go for it.

“Could you please go and meet with your dad?”

I asked and she stared at me for a moment before the words I said registered and I watched in real-time as her facial expression changed, she didn’t look the least bit pleased by what I said.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“I am sorry what? You don’t mean what you just said, right?”

She asked, obviously waiting for me to tell her it wasn’t what she heard, I wish I could.

“You told me when I need your help I can always ask, I need your help with this, please meet up with your dad,”

I said again as she shook her head.

“I don’t know what your deal with my dad is, I can’t go see him, I thought you would understand, if he found out I live here and that’s why he is threatening you to do this, I will leave, you don’t have to become his messenger, just tell me to leave,”

She let out. I wish it was that easy, he would never have been able to threaten me to tell her to leave my house, never, but this was not easy and I needed to make her understand but the question is how? She already looked so offended.

“Arielyn, that’s not what it is, your dad doesn’t even know you live with me, I just, it just,”

I said and went silent.

“Come on, just tell her everything,”

my wolf chipped in and I turned him off pretty fast.

“What is it? Why are you asking me to go see him if he doesn’t know I live here? Why would you ask me of such when you know how my relationship with my dad is? I told you everything and why I ended up living with you even though we are strangers to each other, why? There has to be a reason, right? Even though whatever the reason is, I have no intention of going to see my dad, I have done so twice since I got here and both times it was a complete waste of time,”

She let out.

“Arielyn, can’t you just do this for me? You don’t have to do anything he asks of you, just go see him for my sake.”

I tried but she didn’t look the least bit moved.

“NO, I won’t go see him, the last time we met he was talking nonsense and I told you about it, I won’t go see him,”

She let out.

“You said I can ask anything of you anytime,”

“I know I did, but not this, I refuse, you know what, I will just leave this house instead, thank you for housing me for the past week and a half, I am truly grateful but I am not going to let you make me do things I never want to do,”

She said going over to where she had her luggage, she dragged it out and opened it before going over to the wardrobe and pulling out all the clothes she had in there, I knew I should stop her and say something but nothing seem to make it way to my head, it was blank, I watched he stuff her things into her luggage.

“Stop,”

I let out when I finally was able to say something but that didn’t make her stop, she just kept on stuffing her luggage, I walked up to her and pulled her up, and when she turned to face me, she had tears in her eye.

“Arielyn, I am sorry, please don’t leave,”

I pleaded.

“Let me go, Ken, I don’t blame you for any of this, you have done enough anyway, it’s just that I can’t give you what you are asking for, my dad won’t stop at wanting to see me, if he finds out you can make me do things for you, he would go through any length to get you to make me do things his way and I don’t want that, do you understand me?”

she cried, I should never have asked her to do something like this for me, it may seem like a mild request right now but I understood what she meant.

“Arielyn forget what I said before, I am sorry about that, just don’t leave, okay, it is late already too, I can’t let you do that,”

I said and drew her into my arm, at first, she struggled but she relaxed into my arms crying, I felt bad for being the reason she cried, maybe I should give up getting help from her dad and just pick one of the other names my father sent instead but even as the thought came, I knew it would be much more easier and fruitful to work with the old sly rich man.

“You know what? Tell me the reason why you want me to see my dad,”

She said when we broke the hug.

“There is no reason for you to know, just forget I asked you anything like that,”

I said but she shook her head.

“I want to know, yeah, tell me about it, why did my dad make you tell me to go and see you? If he doesn’t know I live here as you said, then why would he ask something like that of you, don’t even try to say he didn’t ask you to because I know he did and I want to know why, what kind of relationship do you have with my dad?”
