Mated To Alpha Kessler

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning; I was unnecessarily grumpy, and the cause of my mood eluded me. Despite this, I knew I had to go see my mother.

Walking out of the bathroom with my towel in hand, I caught sight of the news on the big television screen in my room.

Alpha Baynes of Crescent Pack has severe ties with Moonpeak Pack due to a breach in the contract from Lycan King Kessler.

“Crescent Pack and Moonpeak Pack have been partners over the years, but the reason for the breach of contract is yet to be known. However, rumor has it…”

I turned off the TV. I didn’t want to hear any of the damn rumors they had gathered. “What the hell, Baynes?” I muttered, gripping my hair in annoyance.

My mind raced with questions as I paced back and forth in my room. Why would Alpha Baynes jeopardize our alliance? What could be behind this sudden rift in our partnership?

Then my phone ringing brought me out of my thoughts. I moved closer to it, picked it up, and placed it against my ear.

“Hello, Dad,” I answered, my voice strained and simmering with anger.

“What is it that I’m hearing in the news? Why did he have to sever ties with us?” My dad’s voice was filled with concern, his care for me evident in his tone. He had always had a soft spot for me, unlike my mother who would have blown up over the phone.

“I wish I knew, Dad,” I replied, trying to keep my emotions in check. “But I’ll try to reach out to him to find out the reason.”

“Okay, son, please do. Whatever it is, let me know, and if you need my help, don’t hesitate to reach out. By the way, your mother is expecting you over.”

“Okay, Dad, I’ll be there in a jiffy.”

“Bye, son.”

“Bye, Dad.”

After I hung up the call, I couldn’t fathom the reason for Alpha Baynes’s sudden behavior. Does Mom know about it, is that the reason she called last night? I needed to hurry up and find out.

My driver was on standby, knowing my routine for each day, so I didn’t need to call him whenever I was going out.

“Good morning, Alpha King,” my driver greeted me as I stepped out.

I nodded my head, acknowledging his greeting, my mind already consumed with thoughts about the looming situation with Crescent Pack.

I mind-linked Zach to let him know that I was off to my parent’s place. He sounded like he had just gotten out of bed.

Ever since Zach found his mate, I hardly saw him around. He was like a lost puppy, always craving to be around Cara. I didn’t blame him; he had been through a lot.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Shaking my head to clear the numerous thoughts, I stepped into my Porsche car. My mind drifted to Lyra, pondering what the future held for us.

Firstly, her uncle’s agenda made me hesitant to proceed with the completion of the mating bond, despite me marking her against her will. Just when I thought to give us a shot, Annie happened.

“Don’t you think Annie’s pregnancy has something to do with this?” Dolph whined in my head, echoing the doubt that had been gnawing at me ever since the news broke.

“Shit,” I muttered, hitting my right fist into my other hand.

“Are you okay, Alpha?” Owen, my driver, asked me with concern.

“I’m fine, Owen,” I replied, trying to push aside the thoughts racing through my mind.

How could I not have thought about this? It meant there was no going back now as regards taking Annie as my mate. The consequences of my actions weighed heavily on me as I contemplated the tangled web I found myself in.

I couldn’t bear the thought of seeing the hurt in Lyra’s eyes when it eventually happened. I had messed up big time.

“We are here, Alpha,” Owen’s voice brought me out of my thoughts.

Stepping out of the car, I noticed the servants at the gate, their heads bowed in respect. I nodded in acknowledgment as I made my way to the front porch, my heart heavy.

The butler, Jake, was on the ground to welcome me.

“Thanks, Jake,” I said, giving him a pat on his back. He offered to serve me breakfast, but I opted for a coffee; he knew how I liked it.

I settled down, waiting for my mother to come down. In the process of waiting, Jake brought me my coffee.

“Thanks, Jake,” I nodded in appreciation as I took the cup from him.

My mother walked in, her beauty undiminished, but her look was anything but friendly, sending a dagger-like glare my way. Ignoring the tension, I approached her and gave her kisses on both sides of her cheek.

Pretending like all was well, I asked, “Mom, why did you call me with such urgency yesterday? Is something wrong?”

I looked around, taking in the tension that hung in the air. My mother’s words cut deep, her disappointment palpable.

“Why are you bent on crumbling down everything Dad and I have built over the years?” she questioned, her voice tinged with frustration. “I know you’re doing well as an Alpha, but you need a Luna that will complete you.”

I touched the bridge of my nose, feeling the anger simmering beneath the surface. “Mom, I’ve found my mate,” I stated firmly, determined to stand my ground. “And I will complete the mating rite.”

“Oh, Lyra, uh, you are still bent on mating with Lyra?” she asks, looking at me expectantly for an answer.

I don’t know what to say, and I don’t want to infuriate her any further.

“So, how do you intend to mend the severed ties with Alpha Baynes now that you have impregnated Annie and refuse to complete the mating right?” she presses, her tone laced with concern and frustration.

I looked at her stunned, my mouth agape at what she just said. I felt a surge of anger rise within me, directed not only at my mother but also at Annie for informing her when I explicitly told her I would handle our conversation from yesterday.

“Oh, you think it’s a secret?” She retorted, my voice tinged with frustration. “Why do you think Alpha Baynes had to sever ties with our pack? It’s because of you, Kessler Joshua Frodd,” she accused, pointing her finger at my chest.

I was lost for words as I gradually sat down, feeling the weight of my mother’s accusations. But she continued, her tone firm and unwavering.

“I know your so-called mate, and I see that you have marked her,” she stated, her words cutting through the air. “You will go back and reject her this minute.”

As her words sank in, I wondered who was feeding her information about the pack’s affairs. It didn’t surprise me; everyone seemed to want to be in her favor, willing to spill information without being asked.

Then she continues, “Do the necessary things with Annie, especially now that she is pregnant with my grandchild. I won’t have my grandchild raised outside this pack, and if you refuse,” her tone becomes dangerous. “Kiss your Alpha position goodbye.”
