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. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"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
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.
