My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 26

"N-Nova, what are you doing here?" Elias stammered, pushing the girl off his lap gently much to her

dismay. She wasn't even ugly. She had long, shiny brown hair and sun-kissed skin. Her eyes were a

very green hazel. She was tall and skinny and beautiful with legs to die for...

And then there was me.

I felt hurt and betrayed.

"I'm learning what mates are like. Isn't it just fascinating," I said sarcastically before turning on my

heels.

"Nova, wait!" he said. Against myself, I stopped. I felt the tears welling up, but I held them back.

"Kendra please," Elias muttered to the girl. That felt like twisting the knife. He chose her, not me.

"No, allow me. I wouldn't want to interrupt anything. My apologies Alpha, I'll remember to knock next

time," I said bitterly. I ran out of the office and outside. I don't know where I was going but I needed to

get away. I'd had enough of this. I was sore and tired. It literally felt like I'd just been dragged through

hell, only to come back to this. I pushed myself to run faster as I let my tears go. I cried as I pushed

myself further away from the house.

"Nova," Elias said as he grabbed my arm. I looked at him as my tears fell.

"What more do you want from me?! Just leave me alone," I cried. It was quiet for a moment. I used the

opportunity to pull my arm out of his grip.

"I can't leave you alone; you're my mate," he said as if it were just that simple. I huffed a breath with a

sarcastic smile before I rolled my eyes.

"Is that what we are? I couldn't tell from all the lying, threats, and cheating. So why don't you just let me

go then since I'm clearly not needed or wanted here," I said quietly. I had hoped that maybe I was

jumping to conclusion. I sighed and calmed down briefly. "What did you do when I was gone?" I asked

softly. Elias didn't answer right away which was as good as him telling me. I held up a hand,

immediately stopping him. "And spare me the lies," I added.

"You went into heat, which essentially puts me into something similar. In order to keep from hunting you

down and finishing the mating process, I... I had Kendra keep me... preoccupied," he tried to explain

delicately, but I got the picture. He had sex with her pretty much the entire two weeks I was gone. That

hurt worse than seeing her in his lap. I squeezed my eyes shut as the tears started falling on their own

accord. Elias grabbed my hand again. I quickly yanked my hand away.

"Just stop! Get the fuck away from me! Or better yet, just reject me. That'll probably be less painful than Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

what you've already done. I don't want to see you. While I was practically burning alive, you were

having sex with Kendra! Now, I may not know much about werewolves or mates, but even I know that

you betrayed me," I said bitterly.

"I'm not rejecting you," he said sternly. I grunted and threw my hands in the air in frustration.
