Alpha Nicholas’s Little Mate 

Chapter 36 

Lottie… If only the girl knew that I’m already thinking everything she just said to me but I’ve trained myself to think one way for so long that the thought of even considering changing my mind terrifies me. Yes, I’m a big ass oft3 Alpha who’s terrified of the idea of having a Sit something mate bat ire 

just how it is and I don’t care. 

“I know the idea 

res you, Dad and I get it, but I’ve always hated the idea of you being alone. I’ve always secretly wished that you would find your mate and the bond would be too strong for you to reject her.” 

It’s not easy, baby girl I assure you. She nods and I can see her trying to understand and I appreciate it. Please, just think about it, Dad. What Mom did… not every woman will be like her, not every woman will do what she did.” 

“I know but it’s not just that, Lottie, She’s 18 years old. I’m 10 years older than her. She’s 2 years older than my daughter. Can you imagine having a 

stepmom who’s only 2 years older than you?”

“That doesn’t matter, Dad. Age is just a number and as far as I’m concerned if she makes you happy then who cares about how old she is? She’s of legal mating age and that’s all that matters. Shane is 8 years older than Lily and you don’t see it affecting them. I love you, Dad but you need to stop making excuses and only thinking of the negatives and start focusing on what could be, on what you could have.” 

“When did you become so grown up and put together?” She smiles as she stands up then leans down and places a kiss on my cheek. “I was brought up by one incredible man.” She leans in and hugs me before heading for the door. 

“There’s also the little fact that you have refused to leave this room since she came in here. Why is that, Dad?” This girl doesn’t miss a thing. 

“Just think about what I said, please? I love you.” I nod and smile never tired of hearing her tell me she loves me. “I will. I love you too, sweetheart.” I watch as she leaves and I spend a few minutes just staring at the door that she just left through but then a strange sensation has me turning my attention back to my mate only I nearly fall off my chair when I’m met with her big brown eyes as she stares at me. Alpha Nicholas?” 

Bonnie 

I’m not sure what’s going on but I’m scared. The last I can remember is Lexi taking over control and heading for the woods then everything turned black and I have no clue why but Lexi either isn’t talking to me for some reason or she can’t so I can’t even ask her to explain this to me. It feels like I’ve been in darkness for days maybe I’m just dreaming at this point, I honestly haven’t got a clue. A few times I thought I could hear a beeping sound and people talking but then the darkness would come back and I’d once again be surrounded by nothing. 

I try my best to listen for any kind of sound, just some kind of sign that can explain what’s going on when that beeping noise comes back, only this time it’s louder than before. “Come on, come on!” I constantly repeat to myself. I want something else to happen anything when I suddenly want to cry when I hear voices, They are faint but they are there. I try to focus on them as much as I can but it is hard. I can feel the darkness trying to pull me back down but I don’t want that to happen, not again. 

‘Come on, Bonnie. You can do this!” 

Again, I keep repeating those words to myself doing anything I can to stop myself from falling into the darkness once again. I focus on the voices but it sounds like their underwater. Who is that? Where am I?” It feels like forever but finally, the voice starts to get clearer and louder. 

‘Just think about what I said, please? I love you.” 

“I will. I love you too, sweetheart.” 

I know that voice and even if I doubt what my brain is telling me, the the reaction that my body is having to his voice only confirms it. My heart picks up pace and I swear I feel tingles running through my entire body. That’s my mate but why is he here? I don’t understand what’s going on. I feel my heart

Chapter 36 

crack a little when I replay the words that I just heard him say “I love you too, sweetheart.” 

I wonder if that’s the girl that he was with at all the ball? Heating him saying those words to her tears at my heart but maybe that’s the reason why her been running from me, maybe I was right about them both from the start, 

I start to wince when I realize that the darkness is fading and the brightness that’s slowly greeting me is painful for my eyes. None the less I don’t want to fade into the darkness anymore so I use all the energy that I have left and push through, and finally after several seconds of blinking and adjusting my eyes open and I’m met with the sight of my mate, my mate who doesn’t want me. What the hell is going on? “Alpha Nicholas?” 

Maybe he hates Lottie’s mother because she molested him at 11 or 12 years old, and now he has a 16 year old daughter with that pedo.
