chapter 217


    Amara POV


    One week Later.


    “This traffic is bullshit” I shrieked on my way to work. Dad wanted to retire and asked me to help


    Rnd run things at work and was showing me the ropes.


    “Calm down love,” Emery tells me. I have been on edge for thest week, no matter where we


    looked she was gone, we had no name nothing to go by and my visions were not helping because she


    is my mate and was immune to me. I let out a breath trying to calm myself and finally traffic started


    moving again. I honk my horn when it suddenly breaks again making use to a stop. It took us thirty


    minutes in traffic to get to the office. Pulling into the underground carpark I wait for the boomgate to lift


    when I am thrown forward in my seat before hearing the sound of metal on metal.


    “What the fuck” I scream annoyed that someone just rear ended me. I pull into the parking lot and


    park before getting out in my raging glory to kill the bastard that smashed into me.


    “I am so sorry, I hit the wrong pedal, I have insurance” Comes a frantic voice I never thought I


    would hear again. Emery climbs out of the car also irritated, the girl rummaging through her bag looking


    for her wallet.


    I look at the back of Mercedes, the boot all crumpled when I get a whiff of her blood. Looking her


    over I see a cut across her forehead. She hit us pretty hard considering we were standing still and my


    back end of my car was destroyed. I fight the urge rolling over me wanting to feed on her, ah she smelt


    devine enticing all my senses.


    “Ma’am?” I hear her voice snapping me back to my surroundings.


    “Um yes” I ask, trying to make sense of what is going on.


    “My ID, I should call a tow truck” She says looking at her watch before looking up at my fathers


    building doors.


    “Don’t worry about it, it''s just a scratch” Emery tells her and she looks at him like he just grew two


    heads before pointing to the back of the car.


    “That’s more than a scratch, I promise I have my insurance card here somewhere” She says


    rummaging through her wallet.


    I looked at my poor car, it was going to be a ride off, she definitely bent the chassis. She handed


    me her ID and I was excited to learn this woman’s name. “Seriously don’t worry about, Mia” I tell her


    with my eyes ncing at her ID. I smile at her and she nces at her watch on her wristpletely


    oblivious to me and Emery trying our hardest not to im her and drag her away with us.


    “You have somewhere to be?” I ask her and she nces at me nervously.


    “It''s fine I am alreadyte, we will get this sorted first and maybe they will be ok with me beingte


    once I exin I ruined your car, do you work here?” She asks, looking at the building doors leading into


    the foyer.

    “Kind of” I tell her not wanting to tell her my father owns it, she would probably freak the hell out.


    “I haven''t seen you here before though” I tell her and she shakes her head.


    “No, I am here for an interview which was supposed to start 15 minutes ago” She says with a sigh


    ncing at her watch.


    “Tech floor?” I ask her and she shakes her head.


    “No, secretarial position for” She rummaged through her bag before pulling out a card. “Mr Madden


    and Mr Kane” She says, looking at the card and squinting a bit.


    “Sorry, I should have brought my sses, apparently they are retiring and their secretary quit and


    new owners are taking over, the recruitment ce sent me over” She says with a sigh before she looks


    at me, she scrutinizes my face for a second before realisation dawns on her.


    “You’re thedy from the grocer, I am so sorry about my nephew, did you manage to get the


    chocte off them” She asks and I could practically see the cogs turning in that pretty head of hers.


    “Yes” I lied, I had to chuck them out, nothing was getting those stains out. Emery chuckles at my


    lie and her attention goes to him, her eyes roaming up and down him before she turns back to me.


    “Well the car can wait, let''s get you to your job interview” I tell her, draping my arm over her


    shoulder and tugging her toward the doors.


    “I highly doubt they will even look at my application now, I am 20 minuteste and counting” She


    mumbles. Emery grabs her handbag from her draping it over his shoulder before looping his arm


    through hers.


    “Stranger things have happened, besides Amara knows the boss pretty well” Emery tells her and I


    try to stop the devious smile threatening to upturn my lips. Dad wants to retire. I am suddenly all for it


    now, shit I will evene in on weekends just so I can be near her.


    “Are you sure?” She says looking nervously back at my ruined car. Emery pushes the door open


    before hitting the button on the elevator.


    “I am so sorry I hit you, and my nephew ruined your pants, what are the chances I ruin your day


    twice” She chuckles. Little did she know she just made mine and Emmery’s day, because we found her,


    we found our mate.


    “Nope my day just got even better” Emery chuckles. She looks at him like he is absurd.


    “I ruined your car” She says, her face heating with embarrassment.


    “Car can be reced” I tell her before grabbing a tissue and dabbing at the cut on her forehead.


    She hisses before touching it with her fingers and pulling her hand back.


    “Great, about to have an interview with a vampire and I am bleeding” She says, “Poor form” I hear


    her mutter as she looks at her shoulder before looking at Emery who had her bag. I don''t think she


    realised he had it when she suddenly stepped away from us looking at us and only just realising we


    both had our hands on her.


    “Can I have my bag please?” She says and I could hear her heart beating frantically in her chest.


    “Oh right sorry” He says handing it to her. She grabs a smallpact mirror out before cleaning up


    the cut and dabbing foundation on it.


    “We will show you where to go, I will speak to the bosses for you” I tell her and she nods anxiously


    before stepping away and I didn’t even realise I had stepped closer to her. She stands facing us next to


    the doors and I suddenly realise our closeness was creeping her out. She hops from one foot to the


    other and I could see Emery’s hands twitching, wanting to touch her just like mine were. The door bings


    and she jumps slightly.


    The elevator doors opened onto my fathers office floors. Rnd was looking at the foyer desk


    trying to find something. Thest secretary left everything in shambles.


    Rnd turns around when he hears the door.


    “You''rete” He says to me and I quickly step forward before she thinks he is talking to her.


    “Car ident” I tell him and he nods looking back at the desk before his head whips back to me.


    “Car ident?”


    “Yes, Theo in his office?” I ask him and he scrunches his face at my words before nodding.


    I grab her hand and she gasps, jerking her hand away looking at it oddly before I grab it again,


    loving the sparks rushing up my arm. I drag her to my fathers office and see both of them looking at


    paperwork on their desks.


    “Hey sweetie” My father saysing over to me and stopping when he sees me pull Mia in behind


    me.


    “Sweetie?” She questions. I ignored her question, she would find out any minute.


    “Found your new secretary” I tell them before pulling out the chair at the desk. I push her down in it


    and my father raises an eyebrow at me.


    Tobias POV


    “Where the hell is Amara?” I ask Theo, annoyed. She was alwayste.


    “She will be here, I am more concerned with this secretary situation. No one is even applying for


    the job not wanting to work under a tribrid and a werewolf” Theo tells me. I nod he was right, the city


    was scared since Thaddeus and we organised a recruitment office to hire someone but even this new


    person was a no show.


    “Don’t, Imogen won’t, why would we retire and her go back to work, forget about it” Theo tells me.


    We may not have a choice though, especially if Amara couldn’t pull herself together and actually start


    showing up. Rnd can’t run this ce on his own and Thaddeus was out of the question at the


    moment.


    “Stress less, we will figure it out” Theo tells me,ing over and resting his chin on my shoulder,


    his lips pressing to my cheek, I exhale trying to calm my nerves but I was tired, I needed a break and


    that wasn’t going to happen at this rate.


    Hearing the elevator bing, Theo stands up. “That would be Amara,” He says when the door


    suddenly opens.


    “Hey sweetie” He says going to give her a hug before she tugs some girl in with her. The poor


    thing looked petrified.


    “Sweetie?” The girl questions looking at Amara. Who seemed to be ecstatic about something as


    she pulled out a chair and shoved the girl in it.


    “Found your new secretary” She says and the girl looks up at her. Emeryes in sitting on the


    armchair in the corner of the room. I gave him a nod, at least he was getting Amara to show up, I will


    give him that.


    Theo was observing the girl who looked like a deer in headlights, his eyes flickering oddly before I


    picked up the faint scent of blood.


    “This is the girl from the recruitment” Amara says while we all just stare at her. She seems to snap


    out of whatever trance she was in, shaking her head and holding her hand out to me.


    “I’m sorry I amte, I identally hit” She stops and looks at Amara.


    “Sorry, what is your name again?” She asks.


    “Amara, and that is Emery” She says pointing to him. He gives her a wave. She shivers looking


    back at me.


    “This is Mia, and you are hiring her” Amara tells me and I fold my arms across my chest. Looking


    down at my daughter while the small blonde haired girl looks like she was hoping the floor would


    swallow her, her cheeks flushing red.


    “Have you got your resume?” I ask her, she seems to think for a second.


    “Ah yes sorry, it is um” She pulls it out before i could even grab it, Amara snatches it from her


    hand.


    “Yep good enough for me” Amara announces while the girl was trying to figure out what the hell


    was going on, so was I. Theo chuckles, shaking his head making me raise an eyebrow at him.


    “I’m sorry, I have been saying that a lot today but who are you?” The girl asks, looking at Amara


    clearly startled with the way Amara was just handing her the job that wasn’t hers to hand out.


    “We are her fathers” I tell this Mia before recognition hits her. Her lips parting in shock.


    “Wait, your?” She says trying to find the right words.


    “Tribrid, yes. My father Tobias, is a werewolf, my other father Theo vampire and Emery also a


    werewolf” She says staring down at the girls resume.


    “Is that a problem?” I ask her and she shakes her head.


    “No, not like you will eat me…. you don''t eat people right?” She chuckles nervously. Amara smiles


    at her and her heart skips a beat.


    “No we don’t eat people, I won''t bite” Theo tells her yet Amara looked like she would any second.


    “Resume?” I ask, holding my hand out to Amara wanting to see if the girl is actually qualified.


    “I noticed you didn’t list your sexual preference or species preference?” Amara asked and Theo


    had to hide his chuckle.


    “Sexual preference?” The girl asks, staring at me Amara, no she can’t be? I thought to myself


    finally putting the pieces together and Amara''s weird behaviour.


    “Yes, do you like men or women, or both?” Amara asks, we are so screwed we are going to be


    sued.


    “You don’t need to answer that?” I tell Mia ring at my daughter.


    “I would prefer if she did?” Amara res back at me. I pinch the bridge of my nose.


    “What about species?” Amara asks her, the girl looks at her rather flustered.


    “Amara?” Theo growls at her.


    “Nevermind my daughter” He tells the girl before plucking the resume from her fingers and


    ncing at it before handing it to me.


    “The recruitment office said you were both retiring?” Mia asks as I nce at her resume. Poor girl


    was only 22, Amara was going to be too much for her to handle.


    “Yes, Amara is taking over for us” I answer her and the girl looks at her.


    “Wait, you want to hire me even though I rid off your car?” She asks, confused.


    “She rode off your car?” Theo asks.


    “It was just a scratch,” Amara tells her when Mia shakes her head.


    “No, it is definitely more than a scratch,” She says.


    “Enough of that, so you are hiring her?” Amara asks, looking at me.


    “Please please please, daddy” Amara says, her voice booming in my head.


    “Daddy?” I ask her, she hasn’t called me daddy since she was a child.


    “Please, pretty please with a cherry on top” She says and I roll my eyes at her.


    “Yes, when can you start?” I ask Mia.


    “When would you like me too?”


    “Now” Amara blurts, making Theo chuckle, she doesn’t get a chance to answer when suddenly the


    door bursts open and Rnd steps into the room.


    “Gotta go, Evie is inbour” He gushes his eyes lighting up.


    “Right now?” Theo asks excitedly, wanting to go with him.


    “Go I will meet you there ” I tell my husband and he races out the door with Rnd. Amara looked


    at the door and I could tell she wanted to go but also didn’t want to leave her newly found mate. I could


    see it tearing her apart, choosing between meeting her nephew and this girl running away from her.


    “Go, I will show her around” I tell Amara, letting her know her mate won’t be escaping her.


    “Baby time” She gushes excitedly before grabbing Mia’s face and kissing the poor girl so quickly


    before darting out the door.


    Mia stares after her not able to hide her shock, yep Amara is definitely going to get me sued.


    “You''re not going?” I ask Emery and he shakes his head when Amaraes back.


    “Emery” She hisses at him.


    “I guess I am” He says getting up before pausing and looking at a stunned Mia.


    “Go she is fine with me” I tell him and he reluctantly chases after Amara.


    “I am terribly sorry about my daughter, she can be a handful” I tell her.


    “She is alright” She says touching her lips before looking at the door. I could see her confusion.


    “Did she?” She shakes her head trying to make sense of Amara''s actions.


    “Did she kiss you? Yes she did, you will get used to her” I tell her. She nods her head, one thing I


    missed about Imogen when she was human was watching her try to make sense of our actions.


    Looking at this girl in front of me I was suddenly curious if she was aware of what mates are, I couldn’t


    bear to see Amara’s heart broken.


    “You don’t seem to weirded out that she kissed you '''' I tell her sitting at my desk wanting to see if


    she would reply.


    “No, just stunned,” She admits. I nod.


    “My daughter is bisexual does that make you ufortable?” I tell her wanting to gauge her


    reaction.


    “No, she is very pretty” She says before realising what she said.


    “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that” She says looking horrified at what she said.


    “So your bisexual?” I ask, she didn’t seem fazed by my questioning might as well find out what I


    can since guaranteed Amara won''t let her escape the mate bond..


    “Huh?’ She asks.


    “You have never been with a woman?” I ask her. I was going to get myself sued, shut it Tobias. I


    mentally scold myself. Yet I was curious to find out if she would be epting of my daughter. Her face


    turns bright red.


    “I have never been with anybody” She says which shocked me. Her resume said she was 22 yet


    she had never been with anybody?


    “At all?” I ask her blurting out my shock like word vomit.


    “Nope, are these questions on the application, I don’t remember having to fill this out with the


    recruitment agency?” She says.


    “They must have left them out, just need to make sure yourfortable working with my daughter


    and her mate”


    “Mate? That’s like soulmate or something, I think I read about how supernaturals have mates” she


    says.


    “Yes, Emery is her mate”


    “But she kissed me, wouldn’t that have caused him pain. I read it hurts the other mate” I chuckle at


    her words this girl was pretty well informed and clearly knew what mates are.


    “Yes, it causes them pain unless the person is also their mate, I have two mates. Theo and my


    wife Imogen” I tell her letting the words sink in.


    “You have more than one?” She asks and I nod. I could practically see the wheels turning in her


    head.


    “So she hurt Emery by kissing me?” She mutters so low, I almost missed it.


    “No she didn’t hurt Emery, nor would it have hurt her if he kissed you” I tell her and she nods


    looking around nervously before it seems to click, her head whipping toward me.


    “Wait, Amara and Emery?” She doesn''t finish like she didn''t know how to ask.


    “Yes they are both your mates” I tell her.


    “But I am human” She says, her heart pounding in her chest.


    “So was my wife,” I tell her.


    “Was?” I nod, Shit maybe I shouldn’t have told her, I think to myself when she suddenly starts to


    hyperventte, her heart beating erratically. Her face falls ck and I jump up just in time before she


    falls out of her chair.


    “Guess I will take you to meet your new nephew, and future mother-inw” I mutter to myself


    before scooping her up. I walk to the elevator before pressing the button.


    “Wee to our crazy family Mia” I whisper before chuckling to myself, she was in for one hell of a


    ride being mated to my daughter.
