Don't Run! My Adopted Mate

Chapter 8 You are very beautiful

" Remember, our agreement before we embark on the journey to your pack? So don't think I am not going to hold you responsible," She reminded him while looking him straight in the eyes.

" Our agreement does not state that I have to move out of this place, if you don't like it here, then go back to your father's pack, I didn't force you to come." He stated angrily to her, Cara stunned to hear him speak to her as he did.

" Are you saying I force myself on you when you were collecting the dowry, you seem to have forgotten that, you have become my belonging that bears my surname." She hit back at him, she was not going to allow him to ridicule her.

" I DO NOT belong to you despite carrying your family's name, you'd better..."

" Oh My prince, you are back, how was the trip?" At this point, Samantha showed up. Her appearance resolved the tense atmosphere between Cara and Kayden, causing them to stop arguing.

" Luna, the trip was good," Kayden responded.

" Who is this beauty you are with, is she your wife?" She asked, looking at Cara with a surprised look.

" She is Cara, the daughter of the Pirate, the one helping us with the war with my Uncle," Kayden introduces her to Samantha.

" I heard all you did for the pack, I am happy that you came at the right time into Kayden's life, you are certainly made to ease his worries, I am happy to meet you, thank you for helping the pack," She praised Cara for being capable and she was sure that Cara would be Kayden's good helper.

Cara was stunned by Samantha's beauty, and she completely forgot why she was angry. " You are very beautiful you know, and you remind me of my mother, it is good to be of help to the pack, and you have a kind heart too, I feel it."

" Thank you for the compliment, but you are also beautiful, and your aura shows you are a good person," Samantha blushed when she heard Cara complimenting her beauty.

" You are like a light that lightens a dark room, I can not be compared to you," Cara continues to compliment Samantha who continues to blush, she has never come across anyone so outspoken as Cara.

Cara and Samantha took a liking to themselves and they chatted for a few minutes while Kayden watch both of them.

Samantha offered to take Cara to see the pack's palace, " Why don't I take you around the pack so that you can get accustomed to the pack,"

" I would love that," Cara happily agreed. Kayden watch Cara and was shocked to see how she opens up to Samantha.

" By the way my name is Samantha," She introduces herself to Cara.

" I am happy there is someone with a sense of hospitality in this pack, all I have been hearing is rules and rules, unlike this man here whose only duty is to make me angry, that is what he knows how to do," She said while she snorted at Kayden.

" You are a drama queen who feels all attention should be solely for you, Samantha, she needs to rest a bit, we just got back from our trip and I am sure she is tired, I will take her around by tomorrow," Kayden retorted.

" Why don't you just keep quiet, and let her show me around since you refuse to fulfill your duties, you ignored me since we arrived and you want to prevent her from showing me around, stay away from my business," Cara said angrily before she left, she still lost her temper with Kayden.

When Samantha is showing Cara around the pack, Samantha took her to the pack house where she met some other people whom she introduced Cara to, they went to the pack's clinic where the injured warriors were receiving treatment, Cara sympathize with them as they went from ward to ward where the warriors were being treated, they went to the park where most pack members come to relax or have picnics with their family.

When they got there, they sat and chatted a bit before Samantha continue to take around the pack, Cara told Samantha that Kayden was her mate. " I discover Kayden was my mate when I went to confront him when he did not show up for the wedding,"

Samantha was very shocked. She couldn't believe that there would be a second mate, but she quickly covered up her shock, Cara did want to suspect anything because she was Kayden's, first mate.

" Is that so, you are sure a lucky lady," She said and she smile to prevent Cara from seeing her shocked face.

" I don't regard myself being lucky because Kayden does not want me as his mate, and he is a bad person who only wants money," Cara lamented.

" I have done everything to help him as his wife but he doesn't appreciate it. He is making me sad, imagine, I was happy that I finally got my wolf and mate but my mate refuse to acknowledge me,"

Samantha place her hand to lift Cara's chin when she saw that she was not happy, she tried to ease her sadness and she told Cara that Kayden is a good person and they will be very happy. " Kayden is not a bad person, he is a kind and caring person and you are both going to end up happy, just learn to be patient with him, he is only bothered about the war and once it is over, he will give you all his attention,"

" I don't think so, we started on the wrong footing and he is grudging me for that. I am not ready for any man to play with my emotion or control my emotion, I will gladly accept his rejection when he decides to reject me, I refuse to bow to anybody" Cara told her that she felt that Kayden didn't think so, but she would not let a man control her emotions, she would accept Kayden's rejection.

Samantha was stunned, she was taught to obey her husband since she was a child. " You can't do that, we were thought to obey our husband from childhood, you should obey him and then you get his respect,"

" Whatever, I was not thought that way, we are mates and we are one, not the other way, I can't become a slave because I am married to him," Cara expresses her opinion, she was brought up with care and love. Her father has paid a huge price as a dowry so she felt Kayden should submit to her instead.

She thought Cara was just joking.

" Your idea is very funny, I am sure you will soon get used to it. It is getting late let's head back to the palace,"

When they walked back Cara saw the bruises on Samantha's back, the scarf she used to cover her scar was blown away by the wind and revealed all the scars on her back and some part of her hand, Cara helped her get the scalf and saw the scars on her body. She was shocked at the scars on her body.

" What happened to you, who hurt, you?" She felt Samantha's pain and wanted to know who was responsible for the scar. She could not believe that Samantha can have such scars on her body.

Samantha felt embarrassed that Cara saw the scars, she could not bring herself to tell her what she has been suffering at the hands of her husband so she just wave it off. " It is nothing,"

" You call all these scars nothing, have you checked the mirror to see how ugly it looks," Cara could not believe Samantha didn't see it as being serious.

" Just forget it and please don't tell anyone about it to anyone," Samantha pleads to her. She was afraid that Davis will inflict more punishment on her if she tell anyone else and also it will upset Kayden to know his brother treats her as such. She doesn't was to be seen as someone complaining about her husband.

" As you wish, but not the right decision," Cara knew that this was Samantha's secret so she didn't push further but she was not happy about it.

They were close to the palace when Samantha received a mind linked by Davis from their spiritual link (only the mates can feel and hear each other because of their mate bond), " I am sorry, I have to leave you here, Davis asked me to come," Samantha said with fear and Cara knew she was afraid of her husband.

" Alright, then thank you for taking me around," Cara pulls her to herself and hug her. She stared at her as she goes into the palace.

" Ada, that woman is suffering in silence, how can she take such treatment and still remain faithful to her husband," Cara said to her wolf, she could not bring herself to imagine someone would treat her like they are doing to Samantha.

" And she refuses to speak out," Ada sympathizes with her.

" Kayden dares not do it to me, I will be the one to kill him," Cara said angrily.

" Our mate is not a bad person, he will not do so to us," Ada reassures her.

" Moreover, he knows whose daughter you are and dare not," Ada explains, she knows Kayden is more sensible.

Cara was going to talk to Kayden about the transportation of supplies.

" Let me go to that d**k head mate of ours, to discuss the transportation of the goods with him,"

She sets to go in search of Kayden and asked to know where she could find him, she could not mindlink him because they are yet to complete the mating bond, and their spiritual bond has not been opened.
