Van pov
I awoke a little later then I guess I usually do, no one came to my room to throw water on me, I was happy about that, I didn't want to freeze like I did yesterday, I got up to get dressed, since I felt well rested, I went to find the kitchen so I could cook breakfast. But to my surprise someone else was in there, she was cooking and from the looks of it she was almost done. "I'm sorry I'm late, is there anything I can help with, would you like for me to start taking the trays to the dinning hall, the girl slightly jumped then turned around, "I'm sorry, she chuckled, the alpha wanted me to cook breakfast for now on, but If you would like to help, you could take the trays to the dinning hall." Van nodded, "no problem, I'll do it now by the way the name is Van what's yours, my name is Isabel, she nods as she took a few trays to the dinning hall, she did this a few times and was done. She walked toward the kitchen when she was near, Carter stopped her, Van, you're up, what are you doing? " I was helping Isabel in the kitchen, she told me she will be cooking for now on, is that true?" Yes it's true but she won't be the only one cooking, everyone will be sharing the cooking and the cleaning, I'm taking back my pack and getting things cleaned up in here, I know I lost my mate years ago, but it's time to man up, my daughter's needs me, "would you like to see her? You haven't been near her since Cindy was killed, Van thought about it for a few minutes, she really didn't know what his daughter looked like, this is all so damn confusing to her so she decided to answer. "Sure I would love to see her," he took her hand in his, he was trying to see if she could feel the bond, but in his mind he already knew she wouldn't, this sucks a monkey's butt, because he really wanted her to feel the sparks between them. They walked toward the library where she was studying, When we got to the table where she was,
"Hi sweetheart, I would like for you to see someone, you haven't seen her since you were five years old, '' Julie looked up from her book. She was only ten years old but she remembered her. They used to play outside in the gardens and plant flowers, she got up from her chair and ran over to Van, "where have you been Vanny, I thought you ran away so you wouldn't have to play with me anymore that's what Ellie told me, that you didn't love me anymore so you ran away from home," Van was a little surprised why would Ellie say that to a child, she pulled her to her and hugged her tightly. Julie honey, I would never run away from home or from you, I do love you sweetie, I don't know why she would say that, but I've been really busy, I'm sorry I haven't come to see you, I'm so very sorry. When Julie looked up she had tears in her eyes. Carter had seen this he walked over and took his daughter in his arms and held her tightly, "sweetheart, never believe what that woman tells you ok, I'm so sorry she had said that to you," it's ok daddy. She's gone now, she lowers her voice so only her father could hear, daddy she's back, you can have your second chance now. She's your mate daddy, he whispers back, "I know sweetie, but she doesn't know, she's a wolf but not like us, it takes time for her to feel it,"
"Okay daddy. But don't wait too long okay, she might leave again," but what they really didn't know was that Van could actually hear them, she tried to cover it up by pretending to look around at the many books, she was thinking, "mates? What the hell?
