My True Mate

My father wraps me in his arms when I throw myself at him, sobbing, “Dad!”


His familiar scent wraps around me and my knees turn weak. But my strong, dependable father holds up my weight, “Baby. Sarah, are you hurt? Are you okay?”


Then I find myself being yanked back, out of his hold, before I can respond and Lucas shoves me behind him, snarling fiercely.


“Lucas?” At first my father sounds confused and then his voice holds traces of anger. “Let my daughter go! She didn’t do anything wrong!”


“No, Dad. Lucas, let me talk to him!”


But Lucas doesn’t seem to be listening to me and I feel his aggression within me, our bond turning hot with anger and possessiveness. 


“It’s my father!” I scream when I realize that he’s going to attack my dad. “You can’t!”


I push him and when he turns to me with a snarl, his teeth bared in warning, I feel a hint of fear and my wolf suddenly whimpers in confusion and terror.
