Chapter 17 Dakota " Mom , " I called , once I sighted her at the front porch . She looked distressed . a " Dakota , " she rushed to me and hugged me . " Are you okay ? I was worried about you . Your brothers thought you were in your room , but couldn't find you ." 1 forced a smile on my face . " I went for a walk , mom . You don't have to be worried . I'm fine , besides you have been busy lately ." She nodded . " I'm so sorry , Dak . It's not enough reason to neglect you . " I searched her face . " You look pale and disturbed . " She sat on the bench and buried her face in her hands . " I almost got hit by a car today . It was a young lady who saved my life ." I crouched in front of her . " What ?! How did it happen ? " " I was walking on the pedestrian lane , then a car drove towards me . A lady rushed out from a shopping mall and pushed me out of the way . " " Why would someone drive so recklessly ? " I asked , bewildered . " I don't know . I got so scared ," my mom said , staring at me . " I caught a glimpse of the person driving the car . She looked familiar . " " Do you know who she is ? " She shook her head . " No , I'm not certain , " she paused , getting up to her feet . " We should probably forget about it . The driver must have been drunk ." I stared at her for a while , my mind recalling everything Mr. Isaac had told me . I also recalled my attacks today . Could it be that the Hybrids were also after my mother ? I blinked . " Yes . And the familiarity must have been due to paranoia ." Mom nodded . " I have a project that I need to work on , mom . I'll be going in , now , " I said , giving her a hug . " All I can say is be careful ." " Your father said the same thing- " " Which one ? " I arched an eyebrow . Mom looked like she was taken aback by my question . " Alpha Maddox .

I bet my biological dad would never have cared about your safety , " " He did care , " my mom said in a low - pitched voice . " How ? By leaving ? " I asked . My mom looked away , her pale face turning sad . " Mom , you said dad left us for another woman . Did he have any children with the woman ? " " Yes . A boy . That's why he left . He had always wanted a son . His mistress gave him one , " she said , looking at me . " Why did you ask ? " I smiled . " I was just curious . Excuse me ." I walked past her and into the house . Logan , Jasper and Conan were seated on different sofas in the sitting room . " You finally decided to return , " Jasper was the first to speak . " I thought you eloped with your lover ." " Hello , " I greeted and continued walking . " Where did you go ? " Logan questioned . " To the Pack hospital- " " Doctor Jackson informed us that you didn't go to the hospital ," Conan snapped . " I figured out that'd be the first lie you'd tell ." "Well , I left the house with the intention of going to the Pack hospital but ended up getting healed on my way to the hospital . I'd say that was really miraculous . So , I decided to go for a stroll . " Jasper got up . " We don't care whatever goes on between you and River- " " For everyone's info , he rejected me , " I said , forcing a smile , even though tears welled up in my eyes . " That bastard ! " Logan growled . " Oh , don't act like you are any better than him , " I wheezed . " You guys rejected me as your mate , too . " " Who rejected you ? " Mom asked from the doorway . I spun around in fear . " Mom ," I called out , my heart racing . " You have a mate ? " she asked , walking closer to me . " Why didn't you tell me ? Who's your mate ? " " I think those questions are too much for a scene , " Jasper said , walking closer to us . " Seems like our dearest 16:07 Fri , Sep 19 d Chapter 17 sister must have forgotten to inform you that we joined Drama class , " " Oh , " my mom exhaled . " I got worried for a hot minute . " " I forgot to mention it to you , mom ," I said . 220 59 vouotes " We were given a scene to act , " Logan began to say . " In that scene , Dakota has four mates . They go on to reject her . But , three out of those four mates want to protect her despite her stubbornness . " I frowned . " Sounds like a crazy scene . So , I believe the three of you are playing the roles of " " Protectors ," Conan chimed in . " And who's acting as the fourth mate ? " Mom inquired . " A Vampire , " Conan drawled . I held my breath . " A Vampire ? " Mom repeated in awe . " Just kidding , " Jasper said , flashing a smile . " It's an unimportant student ." " Everyone is important , Jasper , " mom said , smiling back at him . He rolled his eyes and turned around . " No , not to me . " " I need to freshen up . If y'all don't mind , excuse me , " I said hesitantly . I began walking away . I rushed into my room and shut the door . I rummaged in my backpack and brought out the book Mr. Isaac had given to me . On the book cover , it read : Special Diary of Henrietta . I sat on my bed and opened the book . DON'T TRUST EVERYONE . INCLUDING FAMILY . I gasped . A Silver Wolf didn't need to transform to their wolf's form before fighting anyone . I quickly remembered the moment I ran at a fast speed to save that woman . I didn't need to transition from my human form to my wolf form to be so fast . I needed to tell Mr. Isaac about this . But , I didn't have his phone number . Alpha Maddox might have it , I thought aloud . I stood and placed the book under my pillow . I left my room and headed to Alpha Maddox's room . I made sure to watch out for the maids and guards . I snuck into the room and quietly closed the door . I had once heard that he had a long book where he registered people's names , addresses and phone numbers . 16:07 Fri , Sep 19 d Chapter 17 I looked around the room . Where did he keep it ? 420 募 155 vauctver I had to search the entire room . It was big and spacious , I closed my eyes and accessed the room with my feral senses which I had also read was one of the abilities of a Silver Wolf . I felt it . It was nearby . " Are you snooping around my dad's room ? " Startled , I quickly opened my eyes . I caught sight of Logan leaning against the wall . AD Comment Send gift
