Saving The Broken Soul

DIFFERENT THOUGHTS

Abigail's POV:-

When Mia and I make our way towards the backyard where the party is being held. Upon seeing us, Ryker rushes near us before picking up Mia in his arms as if he hasn't seen her for a long time. I look away when I realize that they are going to eat each other's faces. Although the real reason is completely different but there is nothing I can do to stop the pain I have brought upon myself. I have decided to select my father over my destined mate so I don't have any right to complain about it.

I let the two hog each other and go mingle with others who are very eager to talk to me. Dad may not love me, but the pack members have always been very good to me. They never mistreat me, neither say anything bad about me which is appreciable. I also love them very much because, for me, every one of them is like my family.

"You know, I have heard that your fiance is very powerful. Actually, he is said to be the most powerful werewolf till now." One of the pack female members comments.

"Umm, that's good," I reply awkwardly because it feels odd to talk about someone whom I haven't met yet he is being called my fiance.

"But the sad thing about him is that he has lost his destined mate a few hours ago but the reason for her death is unknown." Another one remarks which catch my attention.

"Do you know Alpha Leonard's late mate's name?" I ask out of curiosity.

"Nope, but I have heard that she was very pretty and also very kind towards the members of the pack. Everyone used to adore her a lot. About Alpha Leonard, he said to be the best mate any shewolf could find because of his loving nature towards his mate. However, things are not the same before." I gulp in anticipation not knowing what to reply. Because this is the first time I am hearing about my soon-to-be husband's late mate.

I have heard that his mate died a few years ago and the reason is unknown. But hearing about his love towards his mate making me question my decision of marrying him. It's correct that I am only marrying him for the sake of my father. But I have to spend my whole life with him and if he is still in love with his destined mate then it will make me feel like a third-wheeler between them.

"Abi! Come here and let's dance." Mia calls out to me from the makeshift dance floor where many of the pack members are already dancing.

I excuse myself and join my best friend who is giggling to herself. Look like someone is already drunk out of her mind. Usually, we werewolves don't get drunk so easily but if we drink heavy cocktails then again, we are pretty much doomed to get wasted.

I hold Mia's hand when I notice that she is going to fall. Upon seeing me, the crazy girl starts clapping her hands like a toddler while dancing around me making me laugh as well. Ryker also joins us in the fun along with some other pack members who can not resist themselves to dance.

After a lot of dancing and talking, we decide to have dinner because from tomorrow onwards the preparations for the wedding will be start. I will have to go to the boutique to purchase my wedding dress as well as other necessary things.

"Abigail, Alpha Thomas is asking for you." Uncle Alex informs me.

"Umm, okay where is he?" I ask nervously.

"He is in his office." I thank him and get up from my place before hurrying inside the house to go to my Dad's office as soon as possible.

When I reach in front of his office, I knock on the door and get permission to go inside. I open the door to find a beautiful woman who is probably in her late thirties, sitting across from Dad. I cautiously walk inside and stand at the side of the desk not wanting to anger Dad.

"Abigail, this is Eloise William and soon-to-be luna of this pack." I feel like my Dad has dropped a bomb on my head after hearing his words.

"W..h..at?" I stutter not believing if I am hearing correctly or everything is just my imagination.

"Yes, I am going to marry her. This pack needs a luna and I believe no one will be better than her." He replies looking lovingly at the woman who smiles brightly in response. I know I should feel happy for dad. Because, after my mother's death, I have never seen him with any other woman. But still, I can't fathom the dislike of seeing another woman with him.

"Congratulations to you both." I reply with a tight-lipped smile.

"Thank you so much, sweetheart. I have heard a lot about you from Thomas and now that I have met you, you are more beautiful than the pictures he has shown me. I am truly blessed to be a part of your family." Eloise says gently. Although I don't like her being with my dad, but I can't find any bad vibes from her yet.

"You are welcome." I reply softly.

"It's quite late, why don't you go to your room and sleep? You have to go shopping tomorrow for your wedding." Dad says trying to sound caring but I know he is just faking it.

"Umm, yes. Good night both of you." I reply and take my leave from there.

Leonard's POV:-

"Mom, please I don't have time to meet that shewolf." I reply for the hundreth times.

"That shewolf has a name and it's Abigail. I don't understand why you don't want to meet her. You are a person from a new generation and you have the right to meet the woman you'll be marrying." Mom lets with a huff while folding her hands in front of her chest.

"Okay fine, Abigail is your choice not mine so I don't see the point in meeting her. Also, she is just going to be my wife in the eyes of the world and I think that's enough for me to know about her." I reply nonchalantly.

"She is also going to be Sarah's moth-" I slam my hands on the desk not letting her complete the sentence.

"I am Sarah's father as well as her mother. So, don't you dare to think that I will let any unknown shewolf to become my daughter's mother." I lets out in rage.

"But my granddaughter needs a mother figure in her life, son. There are many things a girl can only share with her mother. Also, Alpha Thomas has assured me that his daughter is very much in love with children and she is eager to meet Sarah. I am sure, she is going to be a good mother to my granddaughter." I sigh in annoyance but don't say anything in return. Because I know it's futile to make her understand when she has already made up her mind.

Suddenly, there is a knock on the door making relief knowing that I don't have to argue with my mother anymore. I tell the person to come inside and Samuel walks inside holding a file in his hands. I smirk internally knowing well what's in the file.

"Mom, I have to talk to Samuel about a new project. Can you come back later?" I ask politely.

"Okay, no problem. By the way, I am taking Sarah to the amusement park tomorrow along with other pups." Mon informs before going out of the office.

"Alpha, I have the information you wanted to know about that bastard," Samuel says to me handing the file to me.

"That's great Samuel. So tell me if there is something that we can use against that fucker." I reply leaning against my chair.

"You will be happy to know that he doesn't only have a mistress but also a daughter with that woman. His wife Mrs.Johnson who is the sole owner of Johnson Enterprise doesn't have any clue about her husband's doing. He constantly transfers money to a specific account and the account holder is none other than his mistress Brianna Smith." He answers.

"The fucker got some nerve to mess with me without thinking about the consequences. Let see what he will do now when I will dump the secret in front of him." I let out with a triumph smile.

"By the way, I am wondering if you are going to choose your wedding suit or that is also going to be your mother's choice?" I narrow my eyes at his remarks because he is clearly mocking me.

"You were listening to our conversation?" I accuse in which he surrenders his hands.

"I wasn't planning on listening to anything. However, you guys were being so loud that it's not exactly my fault that I got to hear you both argue." He replies making me groan.

"I don't understand why mom is being so persistent to make me meet the shewolf when she knows well that I have only agreed to get married because of the pack." I let out frustratingly.

"I will not say that I understand how you are feeling because I haven't found my mate yet. But still, I will advise you to clear your intention with your soon-to-be wife. Look, you may be marrying her for the sake of the pack. But you can't forget about Sarah and how much she needs a mother figure in her life. Although every shewolf in our pack loves her a lot, but she still doesn't have her own mother. That's why I am asking you to think about her perspective too." He explains and I hate to admit that I can't disagree with him.

"But I am still not meeting her before the wedding." I reply making him shake his head at me.
