Don't Leave Me, Mate (by AlisTae) novel Chapter 12

Third POV

Jan was out of the pack house the whole day after rejecting Ava. He was unhappy with his fate and kept grumping about the decision of the Moon Goddess.

Instead of going back to the pack house, he went to the club His intention was to have sex with some hot girl to shove this rejection away from his mind. But he ended up loading himself with alcohol. His friends did not leave his side and tried to make him understand that what he did was wrong. He argued with them and asked them to leave him alone, He stuck with his decision.

Nova, the current beta’s daughter, approached him in the club and tried to lure him. He was so drunk that he told her everything and then fucked up even more.

When he woke up in the morning, he found himself in his father’s beta’s house. Nova told him that last night she proposed to him, and he accepted her, but they did not have sex.

Ian rolled his eyes upon hearing that; he knew he did not accept her at all. Everything from last night was still fresh in his mind. He remembered how Nova expressed her feelings for him, but he rejected her. But he did not expose her.

Because he knew who Nova was. Her father was a beta, and she was a beta in rank. She was beautiful and hot- maybe the most beautiful girl in the university she never dated anyone but only reserved herself for him.

He thought for a moment and accepted her proposal in his mind.

He was now mateless

anyway.

Now he did not need to focus on the mate thing. Since he rejected his mate, he could make any girl his girlfriend.

He went back to the pack house early in the morning.

When his mother, Carolina, noticed him, she stopped him.

“Where were you the whole night?”

He stopped and turned to his mother. “Mom, good morning.”

Carolina was forty years old but fit and powerful. Moving toward him, she swept a lock of hair off his forehead.

“That’s not my answer, Ian.”

“Mom, I was at a party and fell asleep in my friend’s house,‘ he lied, averting his gaze from her.

“You know your dad. He doesn’t like you staying outside.”

“I’m not a girl that he needs to protect from hungry men.”

“But you’re a bad boy from whom we have to protect other girls,” she muttered while glaring at him.

He frowned at her. “Now, what have I done wrong?”

“The girl named Lara came here last night,” his father, Alpha Martin, said as he descended the stairs.

Ian shifted his gaze to his father. He let out a sigh when his father came to stop in front of him.

“Why?” he asked.

“To tell me how you used her and all,” his father replied.

“Really? That’s a trap. She’s a bitch! When did I use her? She herself came to me to spend ni-”

SLAP!

Ian shut his eyes tightly when his father slapped his left cheek.

“How many times do I have to tell you that you will soon become the Alpha of this pack? When are you going to listen to me? You are the only son I have. If you continue like this, how will I give you my pack to handle? I thought I would hand my pack to my son next year. But what exactly is he doing? Sleeping around with girls?”

Ian tightened his fists and stared at the floor without letting out a single word.

“Martin, calm down,” Carolina told her husband, gesturing for him to let her handle the situation.

She touched her son’s cheek to check, but he moved his face from her hand.

“Ian, your dad is not your enemy. He is concerned about your well–being. How will you feel if you keep working hard to protect your pack members but a few of them come to you and accuse your son of using girls?”

Ian looked at her with a pair of cold eyes. “She is not a kid but an adult girl. Did I force her? She seduced m-”

His father interrupted him again. “So what if girls seduce you? You will be the head Alpha. Will you turn this pack house into a brothel?”

“Dad, please. I have never taken a girl into your house.”

“Look at you. What have you done to yourself? Wear some casual clothes, hide these tattoos like a normal man, join me in my office, meet with other Alphas, and-”

This time, he cut off his father and smirked at him.

“You don’t have to worry about it, Alpha Martin. I will handle everything. When your pack members witness me on the battlefield, they will undoubtedly obey me. Before then, I don’t need to prove myself to anyone.”

After saying that, Ian went to his bedroom, leaving his parents stunned.

He took a shower in an annoying mood. He got ready and left his room.

When he walked past his parents in the living room, his father spoke out,

“You will turn twenty–two in a few months. You still haven’t found your mate.”

“I’m mateless,” he said while heading to the main door.

Both of his parents were shocked to hear that. Martin cleared his throat and muttered,

“Then you should choose a girl as your future Luna, or we will handle this matter.”

Ian did not turn around to face his father. He turned his head slightly and replied,

“I’ve made up my mind. Very soon, I’ll take her to meet you both.”

Ian left his parents speechless and walked out of the pack house.

Martin shook his head, and Carolina rubbed his arm to ease his stress.

Martin sat on the couch with a disappointed look and stared at his wife.

“No one can tempt him. Who will make this boy a better man?”

On the other hand,
