Daniel’s POV
.
‘Maybe she will be busy training her students or clients.’, Roman reasoned out, but it didn’t help me with the insecurities that I was continuously handling since she left. ‘What’s wrong? Why are you so tensed? I can feel that whatever it is…it is not possessiveness that you don’t want men around our mate, but it is because you’re doubtful that our mate may cheat on us.’
‘It’s not that I don’t trust her but…but I can forget what I had seen that night.’

FLASHBACK

‘It’s Nora’s birthday, and we have to shoot her every cute little moment. But where is your video camera, by the way?’ Stephen asked. ‘We have to capture each and every moment of her birthday.’,
‘Mom took it yesterday from me when I was shooting for my new blog. That will be in her room. I will get it from her room.’
‘Yes! Please.’ he quickly signaled me to go.
When I went into mom and dad’s room, I looked for my video camera and found it right in front of the table. I picked it up to check it and realized that it was still ON. Mom didn’t close the video, which was shot earlier, when she took it from my hand. I checked that it had been shot, and my body froze when I saw the video.
‘You should leave now because getting caught by anyone is the last thing that I want.’, Mom said, pushing a stranger away from the room. ‘Leave, please! It’s Nora’s birthday. I don’t want any drama, so please.’
‘You are caring for the girl who is not even your daughter. Heck! Nor that Stephen is.’
‘Enough now!’
‘Both Nora and Stephen don’t know that Daniel is their stepbrother, do they?’
‘Leave before I kick you out.’
‘I know you won’t.’, Saying this, he grabbed mom’s waist, pulled her close, and slammed his lips on her. My hand tightened around the video camera, thinking that stranger was assaulting my mom, but I was so wrong when I saw mom kissing that man back. I threw that video camera, hitting it on the wall, deciding not to see what was in that video.
That was the last day when I talked with that woman and also with Stephen and Nora! Not that it affected me whether they were my real siblings or not, but because of the fact that they would have asked a ton of questions with me for behaving like that with THAT WOMEN. So, to solve that question, I stopped talking to every one of them.

FLASHBACK ENDS

‘Mate is here.’, Roman howled happily, sensing her scent. I checked the time and felt like she didn’t go to her workplace because there was no way she could come here this early, but why didn’t she go to work?
I left my cabin and walked toward my…I mean our room. I got a glimpse of her when she went inside the room, and I frowned seeing her in a different dress. It was different, not the one which he had worn a few hours before.
I increased the pace of my steps, and before she could have closed the door. I placed my hand between them and opened the door wide open.
“This is not your clothes,” I said, smelling the scent of the dress. “And why do I smell the scent of a man from it?” I growled.
“Dan! I can explain.”
“Trust me, Angel, you have a lot of things to explain.”, I snarled, looking at the dress she was wearing. “But before that, I need to tear this dress off from your body because I’m losing my mind seeing you in this.”
“Dan,” She exclaimed when I grabbed her dress; it’s the neck. And the next thing I knew, I tore it into two pieces. “God, are you mad?”, She said, pushing me away. She was busy huffing and cursing, but my eyes were on her lingeries.
Even if it was not hers.
“What the hell are you doing?”, She screamed at the top of her lungs when I tore that little piece of shit which was not her and was hiding her womanhood and her pretty ass under it. Thankfully all the rooms in the packhouse were soundproofed. Otherwise, everyone would have thought that I was sexually assaulting her. She raised her hand to slap me but not again. Not this time. I held her right wrist by mine tightly.
“With whom you were with?” I asked instead of accusing her of cheating on me.
“Can you please not behave like this?”
“Then how do you expect to behave when my mate showed up in my room in someone else clothes from which I can smell the scent of another man?” I hissed, tearing away her bra with my other hand.
She squealed and came closer to me to hide, lowering her head to the ground. I kept my index finger on her chin, making her look at me. “Yell at me or fight with me, but your silence…your silence is making me think otherwise. Things which I don’t want to bring out of my mouth.”
“But it is in your heart, isn’t it?”
“Wear something that is yours and come to my office. I think you have to explain something.”
“Well, I changed my mind. I don’t want to explain anything to you. NOW.”
“Angel”
“Do you trust me?”
“I…I…
“You don’t, do you?”, She asked.
“I…I do. But that doesn’t mean you will hide things from me.”
“Your expression says otherwise. And I’m not hiding anything. In fact, I can’t. I’m sure the news will be coming shortly. Anyways, I need to wear something, So leave the room. NOW.”, She said nonchalantly.
“What news?” I asked, getting confused, and immediately I heard Stephen’s voice in my mind.
‘Brother, three rouges are killed on the way from the city to the pack. You needed to get this mess cleaned.’
‘Three rouges?’
‘Yes. They are killed by a vampire. Because all the blood has been drained out of their veins.’
‘Okay!’ I mind linked my Delta to get this matter solved. And then looked at the woman in my arms.
