Chapter 18
-APOLLO-
I am pissed. Boiling with rage
Lana never wore things like that… Ever
Why did she suddenly decide that she liked such styles! Now that she walked around showing off her body like that I was losing the little bit of self- control I had around her. The one thing I hated more than anything else was the thought of another min looking at her beautiful body. I was always pleased that only I got to see her like that.
Now, that wasn’t the case. I fucking hated to see any man looking at my mate, Lalmost lost my mind at the beach house when another man tried talking to her in front of me.
It doesn’t help that she claims she plans on going out with this random asshole dressed in that stanner.
How would I react if I saw her openly flirting with someone on a fucking date!
Who the fuck did she meet at my party! I knew multiple men were looking at her, and a few even approached her before I realized she was there
But who could have arranged to meet up with her? Who would be crazy enough to go against my wishes! I made sure to announce to everyone that she was off–limats.
Who was she talking about
Damn it
Who was int
“Apollo” The woman in my bed whispers. “Aren’t you coming to bed with me?
Fuck
She was meant to be my distraction, but right now, nothing can distract me from the rage I feel inside.
I could not even consider kisting this random woman now that Land was possibly out meeting another man
My mind raced with the thought of his hands on my mate,
1 couldn: stay here. I would not be able to rest peacefully as long as she was out there and I was not around to keep an eye on her.
“I have something important to do,” I tell the woman before me. I couldn’t even remember her name at this point
I was only interested in getting to Lana’s side.
Told myself that I was only doing this for her protection when even I knew that was a bifucking lic.
Her eyes widen, “what do you mean the demands. “I was so looking forward to today! You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this day I’ve been practicing—
I didn’t care about her right now. I didn’t care about her at all. She was brought here so I could forget about my need to claim Lana. There was no use continuing this conversation
“I’m leaving,” Fell her. You can see yourself out.”
She looks shocked as she watches me leave.
I didn’t know where Law, but I would search the entire town until found her. She couldn’t have gotten far..
“Where are you going?” My father asks me as I’m about to exit the front door, I am sure he is worried that I will disappear again after not coming lome for the past few days
I did not have time for this, Autother man could be dining with my mate while we spoket
“For a drive,” I answer him. I was impatern. The longer I took, the harder it would be to find my mate
“Your inother called” He says suddenly before 1 lave a chance to
to sha
out the door.
Oh fuck. Not this
I was never a good thing when my mother called my father. It was usually to complain about me.

“What did she call for? Task him. I was running out of time, but anything considering my mother, couldn’t exactly wait. She always took things too
far
“Something about a dinner that she wants you to attend.” He answers me. “She went on and on about it for over an hour. You should go if it means. she will stop calling my phone
1 frown. The two of you spoke for over an hour?”
I was aware of their rocky history after the difficult divorce; their interactions often resembled a tense standoff rather than a friendly conversation. It was difficult even to imagine them speaking for over an hour without it ending in an argument.
He shrugs, “Well, it wasn’t really an hour, but it definitely felt like it. Long story short, you should do whatever she wants you to do if it means she will stop bothering us about it. If you don’t, I’ll never hear the end of it”
Mother hated in call my father for any favors. It mean she was desperate to get me back home to meet Jada.
1 knew damn well meeting Jada would only speed up everything that my mother had planned for my life. That was why I kept trying my hardest to postpone il
I sigh, “I’ll see what I can do
me.”
He frowns and takes a few seconds to study me. “Something has been going on with you these past few days. Your mother mentioned it to me, but I Teally never paid attention to your behavior until now. Is there something going on in your life that you want to talk to me about?”
Seriously? It was already difficult having my mother on my back about this, and now she has included my father as well.
I groan, “Not this again.”
He puts his hands up in the air in a defensive stance. “I don’t mean to pry into your personal life, I’m just concerned. You know that I’m nothing like your mother. I give you your space and let you do whatever you wish. The only thing I ever forced you to do was that river thing. Other than that, I have let you live your life.”
Inod. “I know, but I would rather you drop this topic!
He sighs, “What am I supposed to tell your mother?”
Weren’t they divorced now? He shouldn’t have to answer to her. However, I knew damn well if my father ignored her calls, things would get heated. I knew why he wasn’t dismissing her
“You can sell mom that everything is fine.” 1 assure him. Tve just been busy these few days. That’s all.
He nods. “I can tell you are impatient for this drive. You can go now, but please try to come home today. I worry about you also, even if I don’t show it enough.”
I don’t wait for him to change his mind as I rush out the door and head straight to my in
Hopefully. I can still find my mate. If it becomes difficult, I will have no choice but to use her scent to track her.
