The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Kendrix

I still couldn’t believe my mom came to O-when without letting me know, imagine my shock when the call came in that she was at the airport and I needed to come to pick her up, I had been having a serious conversation with Arielyn but I couldn’t keep my mom waiting, she would get in trouble, the woman is too nosy to be left on her own.

“Why do you look so anxious?”

My mom asked, if only she knew the kind of conversation I left hanging when I rushed to go pick her up, the woman I love thinks I want someone else and I had myself to blame, why did I ever think it was a good idea to bring Veronica to the house last night, to be honest, I wasn’t thinking at all, I acted stupidly when I could have just taken her to a hotel, now I have a lot of explaining to do, I can only hope she listen to me and forgive me for what happened in Dilgem.

“Darling, you caught me off guard, do you know how shocked I was when I got the call? How could you think of coming without informing me?”

I questioned, even without looking at her, I knew she was rolling her eyes.

“Do I have to make an appointment to see my son? Plus, I told you to take your time, you were the one that came running,”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She scolded.

“We both know if I didn’t come, you would get on a cab and who knows what kind of adventures you would get into? I can’t risk it, last time I had to go and bail you from the police station because you bit someone and almost removed their hand,”

I reminded her. my mom was a crazy psycho when she wanted to be and I couldn’t risk her getting in trouble again in O-when.

“He had it coming, he was trying to steal from me,”

She responded unrepented. It was my turn to roll my eyes, my mind went back to Arielyn, the fact that I still haven’t been able to settle our previous issue and then we had another one before I left earlier, she was trying to leave me, she thinks I want Veronica. She couldn’t have been further from the truth, I love her and want to be with her, maybe I should have told her that the first night we fought but I wasted time, thinking about it now, I should have told her everything that happened in Dilgem as soon as I arrived, maybe by now, it would have been behind us and we would have been a happy couple.

I already told Veronica that last night was the last time that I would try to help her, I made sure she got to the airport safely, and now it was time to build my home with the woman I love, I still couldn’t figure out how I am going to explain everything to Arielyn and make her understand that I made a mistake with the kiss and the hug she saw last night was just me comforting a distressed Veronica after her near-death experience, I knew Jordan was the one that told her where to find me which proves Veronica had been telling the truth when she told me that Jordan was after her life after they fell off. I had plans to make Jordan pay for everything he did, I couldn’t just let him go free after all the crazy stunts he has been playing recently.

“You look like you have a lot on your mind, is everything okay with you?”

My mom asked.

“Yeah, I have a lot going on, darling but I will get myself back in line, you don’t have to worry about me,”

I told her and focused on driving, I canceled work for today, I needed to resolve everything with Arielyn today so that I could introduce her to my mom, I am sure that they will get along.

“Oh how I missed your house, I should come around more often,”

Mom said when my car drove into my house, I forced a smile and got out of the car, I helped my mom out and called for her bags to be brought inside. We both walked into my house, I was hoping to at least see Raul downstairs but the living room was empty.

“I need a cold drink,”

My mom said and walked to the kitchen, I ran upstairs to talk to Arielyn, I knocked on her door and opened it when she didn’t respond, she wasn’t inside her room.

“Oh hell,”

I let out when I saw the bags she had packed were not in the room, I closed the door and ran to Raul’s room, I knocked before walking in too but he wasn’t in his room, I stared in confusion, trying not to jump to conclusion. I went back to Arielyn’s room and checked, none of her stuff was in the room.

“Please no, I told you to wait for me, Ari,”

I let out as I ran downstairs. I checked all the places they both usually spent time together but they were all empty, I came back to the living room, all effort to remain calm flying out of the window, and all I could think about was that she left me. She left me and took Raul with her.

“What’s going on son? Did something happen?”

Mom asked, taking a sip of the drink in her hand. I paused for a moment wondering if I could tell her, I sighed, she is my mom, if I don’t talk to her who else would I talk to?

“Mom, I made a mistake, she left, and they both left,”

I hadn’t felt this way in so long, I couldn’t blame anyone, it was all my fault, I messed everything up.

“She? Who? Who left? Make me understand Kendrix, who left and why does it make you want to cry, I haven’t seen you look like this since you were young,”

She asked with concern.

“Arielyn, Raul, they were both here when I went to get you but they left, they are not in the house anymore, I, I drove her away, I told her to wait for me but she left,”

I let out, my emotions all over the place, I should have made sure she wouldn’t leave the house before I left to pick up my mom, I should have told her I love her, I wanted to tell her but I wanted to clear the air first before I do, I didn’t know she would leave, I covered my face with both hands trying to get my thoughts together, I couldn’t.

“Ken, calm down and explain to me, do we need to call the police?”

My mom asked, worried, I shook my head.

“No, no need for police, they left, I am a fool, Mom, I sent the woman I love away and it is all my fault,”

I let out.

“You were seeing someone? I wasn’t aware,”

I haven’t been able to tell my mom about Arielyn or Raul.

“Yes, and we live together, I got into a bit shits and she found out, we were talking about it when you called and I told her to wait but she left, with Raul,”

I explained.

“Who is Raul?”

“A teenager I adopted,”

I informed her as I brought out my phone and dialed Arielyn’s line, but it didn’t go through, I tried Raul’s line too, it rang but he didn’t pick up.

“You adopted a son? Do I even know my own son?”

Mom asked, I paused for a moment and explained everything to her, from Raul to Arielyn.

“You really messed up son, that’s all I have to say, you have to fix it,”

My mom said after I was done explaining.

“I don’t know what to do. How do I fix this?”

I asked, I hadn’t done it before, it was all so new and foreign to me.

“You made it all worse by bringing the said woman home, you could have lounged her at a hotel or something; wait, the name you mentioned is familiar, I thought she passed away or were you dating someone with the same name?”

My mom asked.

“No, it’s Veronica, I found out about a week or two ago that she didn’t die, she only left O-when because her life was in danger,”

I explained to my mom and she could only look at me in disbelief.

“You let such a person come back to your house? What have I told you about blinding believing and trusting people?”

My mom questioned, I already know now that I shouldn’t have brought her home, I didn’t think it through properly, and it gave all the wrong idea to an already pissed Arielyn. Fuck.
