Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 183: Video Evidence

Moana

I went to work the next morning with my meeting with Olivia still plaguing my mind. Between all of the evidence I had gathered so far, what Olivia said, and how Edrick reacted when he discovered that I hadn’t taken the driver, I was seriously beginning to doubt my own safety at home.

That morning, I sneakily dumped my morning coffee again. By the time I got to work, my wolf’s energy was back to normal and she was able to offer me some insight on the situation.

“I am almost entirely certain that Edrick is indeed our mate,” Mina said during my lunch break, while I paced back and forth in my empty classroom and chewed nervously on my fingernails.

“But that doesn’t mean that his intentions are entirely pure, does it?” I asked.

Mina was silent for a few moments before responding. “No. It doesn’t.”

I cursed under my breath, thinking hard. I didn’t know much about the inner world of werewolves, but I had always been under the impression that fated mates would never want to betray each other. Then again, however, I couldn’t help but think back to the story of how Ethan was born. Michael and Verona were supposed to be fated mates, but Michael cheated on her anyway and betrayed her trust. It sounded as though there was more emotional abuse going on as well, but I didn’t know for sure. Either way, Michael had betrayed Verona despite the fact that they were mates. Was it possible that something ran in that family that made the men untrustworthy? I hated to believe it, especially after how kind Edrick had been…

But then again, he had just told me that he would never marry me. And although he seemed to have tried to make up for it the next day by spending the day with me, he had still not apologized, which made me think now that his nasty side was his true nature. Not only that, but the way that he had locked me in the car and told me that he wouldn’t let me out of his sight anymore made me nervous, as though I was his prisoner in some way.
