Chapter 21
KADEN’S POV
I was so
so annoyed at the fact that I had been called away from Amelia. It grated on my nerves because I
had spent all ofst night thinking of a way that I could spend more time with her without raising
suspicions and I had finally found one.
I don’t know the name of the woman who was interviewing Amelia but I made a mental note to give
her a bonus for putting up with my outrageous demands. She knows there is no physical test and I
have never gone into that office to check on their work before. The only reason I was there was
because of Amelia. The woman looked so confused and she looked like she had stepped out into
an alternate universe but she still yed along.
For a second I thought she wouldn’t understand and would sl*p up but she remained professional
throughout and Amelia will never know that all of that is just so I can spend time with her.
I got to my office and pushed open the door only to see that it was already upied. My mother
was seated on the couch so I didn’t notice her until I had entered the office. She was dressed up in
a fitted blue a line dress. Her hair was tied up at the base of her beck in a chignon and not a single
strand was out of ce. Her face was covered in light make up her l*ps were painted a dark red.
but
Her hands were crossed over her chest and she had an impatient look on her face as she waited
for me to cross the threshold. I tried to mp down on my frustration as I walked into the door and
shut the door behind me. I crossed the length of the room and she stood up from the couch to sit
down on the chair that was facing mine. I didn’t say a word as I took my own seat and I watched her
out of the corner of my eye.
“Are you avoiding me, Kaden?” she asked and I let out a sigh. “I haven’t seen you in three days and
I have tried to see you. Your guards won’t tell me where you are no matter how hard I try and you
wouldn’t even pick up my calls.”
“I’m not avoiding you,” I said simply. I couldn’t tell her that I had found my mate because I didn’t
know how she would react. “I am Alpha mother and I have been very busy.”
If I know my mother, it would probably not be a pleasant reaction considering that I am sure she has
a line as long as the pacific ocean of children of her friends that she will want

mate with. I will tell her about Amelia but when I am sure that she is in a good moon. Right now, her
mood seems very irritable and she looks one wrong word from away from blowing up.
My mother didn’t believe my excuse about not avoiding her- that much was obvious from the look
on her face. But she just hummed instead of dragging out the issue. She sighed. and I saw a bit of
the tension leave her shoulders but then she sat up straighter and I knew that I was going to hate
whatever she was going to say next.
“I have used thest three days to think about a few things,” she began. “And a friend of mine has a
really beautiful daughter. She is a bit younger than you and she is from a very prominent family. I
have arranged a date for the both of you at a five star restaurant. It is well within her standards and I
know that you will just love her.”
I couldn’t stop the annoyance from building up inside me. I hated how she just made ns for me
without asking me first and it was shocking how she still wasn’t asking my opinion but she was just
telling me about the ns she had made. It was getting very frustrating to hear her shove her ns
down my throat without giving me a choice in the matter.
I started to think of ways to avoid the date without actually telling her about Amelia. Maybe I can
make up some excuse about a meeting or about being busy. That should be enough to get out of
the date for now until I am ready to tell her about Amelia.
“Mother, I have-,”
“Don’t even start with your excuses,” she cut me off. “I knew you were going to try to get out of it. I
knew you were going to start with your excuses which is why I took the liberty of asking Caleb if you
had any meetings or things to do today and he said no. I know you arepletely free so you have
no reason to avoid this date.”
I made a mental note to kill Caleb when I saw him. He should have asked me before telling my
mother anything. He probably didn’t think this was what she wanted to use that information to do
which is why he gave it to her. I know if he was aware that this was what she had nned then he
would have never spoken to her. That knowledge wasn’t enough to mp down on my frustration. I
still wanted to bash his face in with my fists.
He should have spoken to me before speaking to her. I am the Alpha and that position shoulde
with respect. If I cannot get the two closest people I have to family to respect that position then I
cannot hope for anyone else to do so. If my own mother and best friend cannot respect the position
then what use is it? My anger was climbing and I had to

I risked a nce at my mother and when she saw the raw and undiluted anger in my gaze, she
swallowed thickly. She could clearly see that she had messed up.
“I didn’t do it for no reason, Kaden, you have to know that.” She began. “I have just been. worried
about you and that is why I am doing all of this. I am doing this for your benefit and you know it.”
I forced myself to breathe deeply through my nose to expel the anger from my b*dy. I rotated my
shoulders and flexed my fingers before speaking.
“I know you’ve been worried about me since father’s ident,” I began slowly. “But setting me up to
mate with random females is not the right answer. I’m not going to mate with someone I don’t know
just because you have a bond with her mother.”
“At least just meet up with her. She is very beautiful with wide hips that are good for childbearing.
Meet her first before you make any rash decisions.”
I let out a deep sigh of exhaustion and pinched the bridge of my nose with my thumb and pointer
finger. My first instinct was to just agree to get her off my back but Amelia was in the picture now
and I tried to imagine what I would do if I saw her going on a date with another guy and blinding
rage rushed through me.
I turned to my mother who was gazing at me curiously as if trying to figure out what had caused the
sudden rush of anger.
“Wouldn’t it be better if I waited for my mate?” I asked. “What if she happens to turn up? We are
destined to be mated so our paths will have to cross at some point. Father was your fated mate, do
you not want the best for me just like you had?”
My mother let out a deep sigh and I saw her shoulders dete a bit as a sad look crossed her eyes.
She always gets that look whenever I mention my father and I know it is because of how much she
loved him. I know there is no bond greater than that of fated mates and she got to experience it so
why is she against me experiencing it for myself?
“It has been years since you turned eighteen,” mother argued. “You are supposed to find. your fated
mate at eighteen and she has not turned up since.”

“What if she was yet to turn eighteen?” I asked. “It is possible that when I was eighteen she was still
too young and the moon goddess thought it would be best if we didn’t meet at the
time.”
“Kaden,” mother sighed and she opened her mouth to speak but closed it as if she was unsure
whether it would be the right thing.
A thick silence stretched across the room as she struggled to pick her words. I was curious. to know
what she would say in response to what I had said. Amelia just turned eighteen and if I had met her
when I was eighteen, she would have been too young for me.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
“I’m not sure if a fated mate would be the best choice in your case,” mother muttered under her
breath and my head snapped up to hers immediately.
“What do you mean by that?” I was unable to keep the hostilitypletely out of my voice.
as I stared at her.
What does she mean? Is she trying to say that I am not good enough for a fated mate? She
seemed to realize the error in her words as her eyes widened and she realized that I was truly
getting annoyed.
“Listen, Kaden, just get dressed for the dinner.” Her tone held no room for argument and she stood
to her feet. “It is set by six in the evening and I will text you the details and everything you need to
know.”
Without another word, she walked out of my office leaving me inplete silence. As soon. as she
walked out of the room, I found myself picking up my phone and dialing a number. It rang for a while
and just when I thought the person on the other end of the line wasn’t going to answer, the call
connected. Noise filtered in before I heard a door click shut and suddenly there was silence.
“Sorry, I was busy with some of the guards.” Caleb’s voice filtered through the speakers. “Is
something wrong?”
“The next time you give my mother information on me, you will be banned from the pack office as a
whole. I don’t give a shit that you’re the Beta. You would do well to remember that you answer to me
and not her.”
I heard his gasp of surprise and I knew he wanted to apologize but thest thing I wanted to

Yelling at him did little to calm my anger and I still felt like I was a second away from an explosion. I
grabbed the vase of flowers next to my window and I threw it against the door with a loud roar. It
shattered on impact but the sight did nothing to help me.
F***.
