Fated To Them

Chapter Six

Zachary's POV

Upon getting back to the pack house after hiding in the woods for two nights only to notice Alpha Oris getting into his vehicle. I gave him a subtle nod as I passed by him.

"Alpha?" I stopped and turned back to him.

"Make sure you tell that w***e in there that I'm going to the courts for custody of my grandson." He snapped.

"Excuse me?"

"Just make sure Cassandra knows"

My wolf growled loudly in my head. "Kill the beast, Zach. I won't let anyone talk about my mate that way. And I'll kill him myself if he tries to take her pup from her." Zane growled, his hatred flaring to life in my head.

"Alpha Otis, may I be blunt?"

"By all means"

I stepped closer and leaned down so I was leaning in the opened door. "If you try to take that boy from her, I'll break every bone in your body, starting with your pinky toe." I warned him. My wolf may be menacing, but I've been known to be a bit sadistic when it came to the people I love. And there was no doubt my wolf, Zane, was already very much in love with both Cassandra and Silas.

He was extremely pissed at me for rejecting her, but the mate bond was still there so I don't get why he was still so mad. She didn't even accept it.

I backed away from his vehicle, he started the engine and reversed out of the driveway. I smirked when he sped off, clearly angry. Stupid man. He was lucky to have a daughter who loved him. I growled and turned, making my way inside.

"He mama" I smiled at her when I saw her standing in the kitchen with my dad. Dad gave me a nod, taking a bite of his gumbo soup that the cooks made for lunch.

"Hey baby, how was your your shift on patrol?"

"It was a bit boring." I grumbled, eyeing the pot of food.

My belly grumbled at the sight and scent of it. I'd not eaten a proper meal in nearly two days. "Mary, can I get a bowl please?" I gave the older woman a smile, she was around my mom's age, and was like a second mom to me.

"Wash your hands" she ordered. I chuckled, an omega ordering an Alpha around was funny. But I loved making her smile so I walked over to the sink and thoroughly washed my dirty hands. I even made sure I got all the dirt and grime from both hands and upper arms then went over and sat by my father.

Mary placed a steaming bowl of her delicious gumbo down in front of me. My mouth watered as I grabbed the spoon and went to take my first bite when I smelt her.

"Can I go play in the backyard?" That adorable little man that had her stormy grey eyes begged. I heard her whispering something to him. He squealed in joy, then I heard him run through the kitchen and out the backdoor. I shook my head at the boy's energetic personality.

"umm, can I enter the kitchen?" I heard Cassandra ask quietly.

I set my spoon down and turned in my seat. "You don't need to ask, sweetie." my mom told her kindly. "Come on, you must be starving." my mother went to guide her into the room, but she backed away.

My other dad walked up, but kept his distance when he saw how timid Cassandra was. Instinctively Zane purred, loud enough for her to hear. "Cassandra, can I ask you a personal question?" my dad Noah asked her.

"No sir, I don't mind." Cassandra whispered.

"Why did you ask for permission to enter the kitchen?" I could hear her heartbeat pick up in speed.

She mumbled something none of us heard. I wanted to get up and comfort her, but I didn't want to get too close the way I did to my previous mate. I loved that woman, but ended up hating her and killed her with hate in my cold heart. That coldness never warmed up again, not until I scented Cassandra.

"What was that, sweet girl? Can you repeat that again please?" My father Wyatt asked her.

Cassandra sighed and lifted her head. "The man I lived with for the past eleven years, refused to allow me entry. I wasn't allowed in the kitchen back home. Nor was I allowed to eat, not unless he fed me the scraps when he was finished with his own food."

I growled. "That fucker" I pounded my fist on the countertop and the marble cracked down the middle.

"Zachary" Mary scolded.

"I'm sorry, Mary." I muttered, still very much upset with the new revelation into her past. I shook my head and stood up, "Come here" I pointed to my side as I stared at Cassandra.

Instinctively she took a step back, my dad however placed his hand on her lower back and eased her into the kitchen. She began shaking when she crossed the threshold into the room, clearly not comfortable in the large room.

My dad stopped when she was in front of me. I placed my hand on her cheek, the sparks that flowed from my hand touching her cheek made my wolf purr again, and louder, slowly she stopped shaking due to his purr and I relaxed noticing it.

"Sit" I told her softly, Cassandra finally looked up at me. Those grey eyes held so much emotion that it made my heart crack.

Cassandra glanced at the food, her belly grumbled when she did. I nudged her towards it. "Don't make me force feed you. Please sit and eat." I said softly. Hesitantly she moved and sat down in the seat I was previously in.

Picking up the spoon she took a small bite. I smiled to myself and moved over to where my mom was. "I want to speak to you and Levi later." I groaned, I knew she was gonna get onto her and I because we got into a physical altercation.

"Yes ma'am." I turned and went to go shower. My brothers walked in and Levi glared at me so I growled at him. I jogged up the stairs and made my way to my room. I kicked out the omegas as they were in the middle of cleaning.

Before the sexy blonde made her way out I grabbed her around the waist and brought her with me to the bathroom. "Come on Lexi, I want to have some fun." she blushed, but didn't fight me. She's acting like we haven't done this before, how cute.
