His Mate, His Girlfriend

Chapter 8

“| hope you and your lover will be happy now. My best friend made. the choice you couldn't,” her words were acidic. I'd never seen her this angry. Lilac was always cheerful.

“I'm sorry,” My voice was feeble. My vision was blurring.

“| messed up, | f ucking messed up with her,” | was ranting now, repeating the words over again. | could hear myself through my ears.

| left the apartment, determined to look for her.

Two hours later, | was on a plane heading to The Golden Stone Lycan Pack. My beta, Jace, insisted on going with me. They wouldn't be too hostile towards him because it was his birth pack.

He sat in front of me, eyeing and judging me. He told me to reject Charlotte the first night, but | didn’t. Our mate bond was too strong for me, and she somehow got me to sleep with him. | was confused when it happened.

We arrived at the Golden Stone Pack, but we were asked to go back. We weren’t welcome here. No alpha was at the time. That's all the guards said.

‘She was here, Love was here,’ Lias said.

“I'm not leaving until | see my girlfriend,” | told the guards. They knew of my relationship with Love, most in the pack did.

Jace was making calls to his parents and everyone he knew, but it was like they were under a command not to release any information about Love.

Bro, even my parents couldn't tell me,” Jace sighed in exasperation.

“I'm not leaving,” | said, determined.

We were standing by our car, just near the airport. Two huge Lycans emerged. They exuded confidence and an alpha aura, yet | could tell it

wasn’t Alpha Edward.

The two lycans shifted to humans, and | recognized them as Alpha Marcus and Garret. They wore their pants and glared at me as though | massacred their family.

“Look who we have here,” Marcus snickered. Jace glanced at me and stepped forward, extending his hand and trying to de- escalate whatever confrontation was about to happen.

“Get out of this pack, kid. You’re not welcome after what you did to our niece,” Garret growled.

| looked him in the eye and said, “I’m not leaving until | speak with her, “Il was firm. They couldn't intimidate me. | was an alpha, a powerful alpha to a great pack in my rite. Marcus was about to lunge at me, and | readied myself for the attack. However, a melodic voice stopped him.

Marcus, enough. Why must it be so violent when you're involved,” Marcus rolled his eyes.

I turned my attention to Luna Caliana. She smiled and hugged me gently.

I've known Caliana since | was a young boy. She stayed in my pack for a few months as she hid from her mate for many years, so we developed a special bond. My father cared deeply for her and was disappointed when she got back with her mate. Cali,” | exhaled.

She pulled back from me and caressed my face.

“You look terrible. When last did you sleep?” She asked in a motherly tone. | hadn’t been able to sleep in days.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Love, I- | want to speak with her. | didn’t mean to hurt her,” | stated. desperately. She looked back at the men behind her, and they fell

back. She sighed and took me to the closet cafe there was. We sat down after ordering our drinks, and she held my hand. Her gentle gaze caught me off guard, and my eyes filled up,

Ellis,” she called my name gently, and something wet connected to my cheeks.

“Love was hurt, and as she’s supposed to be. You hurt my baby. I’m not blaming you or anything, but please, give her time to heal as she wishes,”

| tried opening my mouth several times, but | was speechless.

Be understanding of her. |, for one, believe when you have cleared your head and know fully-”

| want her. There shouldn’t even have been a choice to begin with. She’s everything to me,” | interrupted her, choking on my words, barely recognizing the sound of my voice.

“Love left the pack and went away,” She informed me. Lias whimpered.

“Fate will bring you together, but if not, your love wasn’t meant to be,” she was gentle with me, rubbing her hand over mine. “I'll convince her to forgive me. I'll beg her to come back to me and do everything in my power. | can’t breathe if she’s not near me,”

“But forgiveness comes from the heart, my dear boy, and it’s not something she’s willing to give right now,”

| felt emotional, and my hands were shaking ever so slightly. | appreciated that | could be so vulnerable with Caliana. She stayed with me, and when | was ready to go back, she escorted me to the plane.

That's all | remembered. The rest of the days or weeks that followed were blank.

New York City

Love

The next day, | woke up early in the morning to jog, Luis told me we should go together so | met him outside my house.

‘Good morning,” he greeted with a smile.

Good morning,” | say, and we started jog. We jogged and only stopped when we reached the docks. It had become a routine every morning | came here with Luis to watch the sunrise, and every

evening, we came to see the sunset.

“Wow, it’s beautiful,” | gasped again at the beautiful sunrise. It never

seemed to amaze me even though | see it every day.

“Indeed,”

We started doing simple exercises when he asked,

“So, what's next?”

“I'm going to New York to intern at K- Corp. It’s a huge opportuni and I'll stay there a while,” | informed him. | had a choice to intern f my father’s corporation, but | didn’t want to stay here any longer-to many memorjes.

“Should | come with you?” he suddenly asked. | stood and faced him, scrutinizing his face to see if he was joking, but he was solemn,

“| have nothing keeping me here, and a change of scenery could do me good since my break up with Toby,” he shrugged. He came out of a toxic relationship with an older man, and he quit his work as he wanted to explore other interests, it was alright since he’s family was wealthy, so money wasn’t an issue for him.
