My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 25

"I don't hate him; I'm just scared of him, or more accurately, I'm scared of what he'll do and who he'll

hurt to keep me with him," I tried to explain, gaining more control over my body by the second.

"He's been searching for you his whole life, you know. Taylor and I found each other the moment we

shifted and were able to detect our mate. Elias, being an Alpha, was starting to lose hope that he even Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

had a mate, or that you were even alive. He's 27 years old. Normally, if one of us doesn't find their

mate by 25, especially an Alpha, they pick a stand-in mate. They choose someone to be with to keep

from going mad from loneliness," Minnie explain. That had me curious.

"Elias didn't choose a stand-in?" I asked a little hopefully. Minnie hesitated, which gave me my answer.

"He did, actually. Her name is Kendra. You've probably even seen her a few times. You have to

understand, as an Alpha; Elias had more pressure on him to have a mate. He needed a Luna. He

chose her. She's headstrong and beautiful, but then again, so are you. But at the end of the day, you're

his mate. He loves you," she tried to reassure me. I tried to push down the feeling of jealousy bubbling

up, but it was too strong. I felt angry. I saw dots swimming in my vision before everything went black.

I barely remember those two weeks. All I remember was the unbearable heat, ice baths, and Minnie

trying to force-feed me. I was probably permanently winkled from all the ice baths. Finally, it ended. The

heat was gone.

I woke feeling sore and groggy. All I could remember was the burn coursing through my veins.

"There you are. Feeling better?" Minnie asked me. I groaned and nodded as I held my head. I was

probably dehydrated. I had a pounding headache. Minnie must have been thinking the same thing

because she handed me a bottle of water. I gratefully chugged it.

"Where are we?" I asked confused. It occurred to me that I didn't actually know where we were.

"Far away from the house on the boarder of the pack's land," she answered. "If you're ready, the car is

packed up," she offered. I nodded and stood slowly. I noticed I was sore and exhausted. My whole

body felt like I’d just run a marathon. She helped me to the car before we drove away. My fuzzy brain

didn't remember it taking so long to get to the cabin, but it was a good two-hour drive back to the

house. I walked in feeling tired and drained. I knew I didn't owe him anything but I felt like I needed to

see Elias. At first, I ignored them, then my body acted on its own. I was confused myself. I pushed

open the door to his office without knocking and froze. Elias was kissing on some girl's neck. She

giggled in his lap. When I walked in, they both froze.
