Chapter 21

Mariah's POV

I could feel something within me that was wanting come out and burst. Watching the sick bastard-pardon my language, touch my pup. She will never be his. He was just a sperm donor nothing more. I watched him turn sad once she fell into Taren's arms letting Adam go, I smirked at her intelligence.

But then his eyes met mine. They eyes that made me melt. But i held my ground fuming with anger. How dare he touch my daughter? How dare he act like he cares?

I didn't know what happened next but I stood in front of Adam launching a punch in his face. The pain that he has caused me all my life was finally shown in one punch. The punch that had made him stumble and fall. The ache and rage consuming within me wanted justice, from this ignorant alpha. The disgraceful, sadistic thought's he made me think about. He rejected me and raped me, now all of a sudden he automatically cares. I hate him! Everything that had been bubbling up inside me all these years finally got let free.

I felt relived and slightly guilty. I always knew how to control my anger but not now.

Then my eyes caught Alina gaping at me, eyes tearing up to cry. I hadn't realised she was standing there. I instantly extended my arms. "Alina sweetie." she trotted over to me. She wrapped her tiny little arms around my legs. I quickly scooped her up and held her in my arms protectively. She hid her face in the crook of my neck. I wrapped both my arms around her securely and protectively. I could hear her sniffle which made me giggle. I stroked her hair, kissing the side of her head.

Adam had finally recovered from my punch. He looked angry but the anger turned into pain, not from the punch, but by my actions. He knew how I was always so mature and respectful, and it's shocking to see me turn like this. I don't really care. He has angered my wolf, knows she's just turning impatient in life. Like she says life is always to short.

I felt so superior and strong. Finally i had faced him. Faced my nightmare that I just wanted to face and finally defeat. I have never felt such range and hatred towards anyone in my life.

Even my siblings or mother. They may have beat me and humiliated me. But what my mate has done is sick and unforgivable. Part of me was so forgiving which is my human side, but my wolf had dignity that no mate of hers shall ever walk over her. But the fact that he humiliated her and rejected her made her furious, her persona changed when he had done such a thing, but her respect had never gone. Then what irritated her more was that he feels the right to communicate what is ours. She is a stubborn but sweet wolf. I fear her but I hold so much respect for her decisions and attitudes towards life.

Then I realised the love and affection shown in his eyes. He smiled staring from me then to Alina. I let out a warning snarl.

"She's my daughter" he growled. I covered Alina's ears, as I felt her head shot up. I kept it covered tightly, even though her attempts of getting them off her ears. I giggled at how nosey my little pup is.

"No you were nothing but a sperm donor. You don't even know what a father is, and you never will be. She already has a father in her life and you're not it" My voice trembled slightly but I held it together showing my anger, but every time I raised me voice it softened, I had never felt such anger and confronting the person who had hurt me the most so it was hard to speak in such manner. That is the reason i had no idea how to hold my tone. He frowned when i had mentioned about her already having a father. Alina had a father and it is James. Even though they may not be biologically but through trust and love they are. He treats her like his own and she trusts him with all her life.

Taren came and stood next to me, I hesitated before giving Alina to him. I didn't want her to watch her mum get angry and unleash her wolf. I'm not going to let my child witness it all. I knew how much I wanted to protect her now that Adam knows about it but I also knew it wasn't safe.

As i let her go she screeched and cried. I hated seeing her like this but i just didn't want her to witness all of this. Adam shuffled and darted his eyes at Taren, his hands itching just to grab her while she cried. She raised her arms to me, I would fall to the ground for her, but I just needed to sort this out with Adam.

"Take her to James. And do not mention this to him" my voice held authority, which made Adam look at me with shock.

I smirked at him. Maybe i was weak and pathetic back in the day but now I'm strong and fearless. To be completely honest with you, that had been their opinion not mines, I was never weak or pathetic. I was just too respectful to be so spiteful.

"Whose James?" Adam snapped. I ignored him and went back to Taren. "Who is he?" Adam growled. This was Taren's cue to leave, which he did. Alina still cried franticly, which made me tear up seeing the sadness and worry in her eyes at such a young age, but I pulled myself together, wiping away my unseen tear's.

Adam stepped forward trying to attack Taren. I knew that he wanted to protect her, but I couldn't let him near her. He didn't deserve to be called her father.

A pup is everything to their parents and even if the parents slightly feel like they are at risk their initial reaction is to get protective and kill. And I know how it feels but for Adam it is all new to him. I knew he's feeling the urge to protect something with his life. So I couldn't blame him. His natural instincts were kicking in now.

But looking back at him, the forest green eyes and the beautiful muscular body, I couldn't let myself accept all that. He maybe handsome but he's not a prince charming, that's for sure.

As I looked back at him I could tell he was unleashing his wolf and I did the only thing I could do. I put my hands over his shoulder, which calmed him down. I felt disgusting touching him but it had to be done. I wouldn't want Alina to see him go all wolf.

The feeling of mate was starting to take its toll. The sparks were vibrating along my fingertips and my heart. His touch was something I have been begging for. The body that has always been mine, was now the body I get to finally touch.

I shook all the thoughts out of my head like a disease. I shouldn't be thinking about stuff like that, matter of fact I will not.

I quickly pulled my hands back as the sparks were taking over. I saw the hurt in his eyes when I looked up at him with such disgust, the disgust he once looked at me with. Now the tables had turned "Mariah who is this James guy" he spoke softly, his gaze deepening into mines.

It shocked me the way he spoke with so much love, something I would have love to hear in the past but not anymore. James voice will always make my wolf howl in excitement and liven up my soul. It was too late for Adam now.

I finally got myself out of the spell. Blinking roughly and tightly, diverting my eyes to the ground

"He is my alpha" I replied quietly. I shouldn't really be giving him any answers. He doesn't deserve any.

"You are dating him?" I could hear the jealousy in his voice.

I thought about the question. Were we actually a couple? Did James and my kiss mean something was sparking up or was it nothing? I really wish it is something.

"No. But I do love him Adam." I whispered the last bit to myself. Then Adams head snapped my way, I forget he had good hearing. I shut my mouth quickly did I just say that aloud? I wish I could just wake up and be in my bed. Wishing this all to be a dream.

The pain and anger in his eyes made me heart clench with sadness. I hated seeing his facial expression it pained me. But I wasn't going to lie and say I don't love James. Because I do.

"What do you mean you love him?" he growled as his emotions filled his every word, jealousy, rage and antagonism.

"I don't know Adam. I just love him, I may not feel any sparks but I feel something for him. Its love" I replied this time but with more confidence.

Then something flashed in his eyes pain. Something I always wanted him to feel. The time he always made me feels like this. Now he felt it to. Even though I am meant to be excited I couldn't help but feel upset.

"Please don't. I love you. Don't do this to me, don't fall in love." Adam begged. I was taken a back slightly he seems so needy and weak. I felt sorry for him but what he had done to me is unforgivable and taunting.

Just the guilt was riding through my every vein. How much I wanted to tell him everything was okay and wanting to forgive him. But I couldn't. I just wish everything that happened in the past wasn't real, the fact that he reject me, exiled me and raped me. We have a child together, I thought.

But then the scene from Paris hit me, the pain and anger came back again. Why should I feel sorry for him when he willingly got my sister pregnant? "No Adam!" my voice trembled but still held bravery.

Inside I was turning weak but my wolf gave me assurance. She told me to hold my ground and make him prepare for sweet revenge.

"You have done everything to me. Everything an alpha should never do. You are not worthy to being called an alpha. You are reckless and disgusting. One thing that made me respect you was the decisions of exiling me. I wouldn't have this life. I know that for a fact. You would constantly harass me, giving me weird signals of our love. You would never feel any shame nor any regret without feeling any pain first. Now that you felt your pain, and regret, it is my time to show you how I felt. I will torture you with my love that will never be yours Adam." I gulped, hard. Needless to say I was scared, I was terrified. This is the moment I give him pain. I felt pang of guilt occurring any moment, but this had to be done, again. Adam had to realise I wasn't the same old Mariah. I am a mother. I will not be a hypocrite and turn back to my mate. I will show him what life was like for me. Let him feel the pain and emotions. I want him to ride these emotions like I had.

My wolf knows this is the right step and I agree with her. "I reject you again Adam Teel"

BAM!! so what do you think of their meeting, expected or not. And who thinks Adam should be given a chance?
