Chase Me Alpha (Daria and Caleb) novel Chapter 2

Chapter Two

THREE YEARS LATER

CALEB

It had been three years. 1095 fucking days.

I inhaled sharply as I threw back another glass of my whiskey.

The ice was long gone leaving its undiluted burn to sting my throat, but I couldn’t care less.

In the dark shades of my office, I fought back the familiar surge of anger that came with this day. this sick excuse of an anniversary I was supposed to care nothing about.

Today marked the third year since Daria had suddenly disappeared. The mate I didn’t want. The daughter of my enemy and the man I hated.

I had made sure to interrogate every single servant over the months after her disappearance, yet none knew anything. I’d sent troops and spies through multiple packs to search for her, but it was like she had left the face of the earth.

It had been three years since then and I was nowhere near finding her. I was only left with this hollow ache.

I wasn’t supposed to give a shit about her. hell, I couldn’t have cared less. If not for her father’s actions against my pack I wouldn’t have looked twice at the Red Vale pack.

But then they ambushed us, killing a number of innocents and injuring many of my soldiers. I was filled with nothing but rage at the audacity and sheer damage that they had caused.

When it was time, I was more than willing to get rid of them and make that damned Alpha Kingston pay for his arrogance and the harm he did to my pack. but as slimy as he was, he had managed to settle an arrangement with the Elders. In exchange for the blood he’d spilled he gave away his only precious daughter.

It was unfair in every way and I had complained to the elders, but their decision was set and I was pressured to follow through with the agreement.

That was where my hatred first started. The moment I saw her I didn’t know what to expect. Not violently red hair and doe eyes and I sure didn’t expect to feel a mate bond.

The Goddess most certainly had a sick sense of humor, but I was never one to care for fate.

Knowing her father it was easy for me to make assumptions with how well he had praised her. As the only daughter she was no doubt a spoiled and pampered princess who held as much arrogance as him. looking at that, all thoughts of her beauty left my mind and I was only filled with one thought.

Revenge.

Because of the peace agreement I couldn’t Ruin the pack as I wanted so I would ruin her instead. I set on ignoring her presence and humiliating her every chance I got.

And it worked until it didn’t. Now she was gone and I was left with a hollow ache and too many questions.

The door opened but I paid it no mind until I felt hands run up my shoulders.

“You’ve been distant over the past few days. I’ve missed you.” Felicia purred in my ears, but I paid it no mind.

“Come on, let’s have some fun .”

“I’m not in the mood Felicia,” I said, harsher than I expected before I felt her arms freeze. Over the years I couldn’t feel as excited to sleep with her or do much anymore. Not when the memory of a red haired doe eyed woman filled my senses.

I shouldn’t have cared, but it felt like I had lost something important.

Now all I could think of was the years when she had been good to me. Despite everything I believed she was nothing but kind.

How ironic that it was when she was gone that I started to see that.
