TO THE MEAN MATE

"Amy you are zoning out" Emma poked my nose. I pouted at her. 

"You were angry at me" I stated as I sipped water from the bottle. 

"I was not angry. I was just annoyed that you were being so dumb and I wasn't here to put something on your skull"

She laughed at me. 

I gulped the water as some drops went from my lips to my throat. 

"I see. I thought walking away was supposed to be angry" I teased her. 

"How can you do multitasking? "

What? When did I multi-task? Did she lose some nuts when she was out? 

"What are you talking about? " I don't know what's she talking about as I'm being clueless about her question. 

"You are seducing him and also talking to me at the same time"

I wiped the water from my throat as I looked at the way she was pointed out. It was Alex he was looking at me straight in the eye. He realized that I caught him off guard. He looked in another direction and walked away. Maybe he is looking at Emma. 

"He must be looking at you? " I teased her with little stinging pain in my heart. 

"Are you kidding me? " Emma looked at me like I grow two heads. 

"I saw him looking at you? " She rolled her eyes at me. 

"For God sake, he is like my brother Amy. "

"But he was looking at you all the time. I saw that. " She grinned and suddenly started laughing so hard. 

"He is just looking after me. He is a bit worried. "

"Why is he worried? " I asked her curiously. 

"I will tell you two things first one is why were you looking at him that's why you saw him looking at me." Then she comes closer to me and whispered in my ear. 

"And the second thing they are coming to take me. " Then she walked away. 

What is she meant by them? She is talking about the attack right? Why would anyone want her? Is this some kind of revenge game? I am completely clueless about the current situation but everyone around me already knows everything. And where the hell is Aaron when the pack is in danger. He is the bata he should stay with us and help us in this war. 

I need to talk to Alex. I have to clear this misunderstanding or whatever happening between us. I walked towards Alex's office. I am a little nervous, I don't know how he would react. He said he doesn't want to talk to me. I opened the door but the room was empty. Where did he go? 

"What are you doing here? " I heard the husky voice which I am longing to hear. 

"Ahm... I just want to talk to you. " Why even I am stuttering. My hand is sweating, I am so nervous. 

"Please whatever the hell you want to speak tell me fastly because unlike you I have some work to do. " He arrogantly dodged my words. 

"You knew this attack is about Emma? " I asked him carefully. 

"Of course I know and I will do everything in my hands to protect Emma. " He shuffled his curls. He must be tensed. 

"Do you like her? " I asked him.

"Of course I like her she's my sister" he replied with a smile on his face.

"Like in a different way? I meant romantically?"

This is the question I am most afraid of I don't know what would he answer but it's getting under my skin. 

He didn't answer for a moment so I looked at his face. He is smirking at me. 

"I am not like you. I don't fall in love with multiple people at the same time or I can't move on like you. I only loved one person in my whole life. It takes some time to heal the pain and move on and also to find someone who would spend eternity with me. I loved you, Amy. But in the end,you chose someone over me. It would take ages to trust in love again. "

His words hit liken an arrow in the heart. I didn't know I hurt him this much. Why moon Goddes? Why did you make our fate like this, can we overcome these heartbreaking moments? 

"I am sorry Alex. " I apologized to him even when I know it is not enough to forgive me and forget our situation. 

"Sorry isn't enough Amy. You chose him on your own" His face masked his emotion as I can't recognize he's sad Or angry. 

"We ain't meant together, Alex. Aaron. He's my mate. " My words failing miserably as tears started to overtook my glance. 

"We were Amy until you chose to trust him over me" No I did trust him too but he's cursed. Why he can't understand my situation. 

"But you are cursed Alex" He's blaming me. The circumstances weren't in my hand. 

"You know what Amy, his father was meant to be killed by my hands. I didn't kill an innocent. So the curse won't work because as I'm not the person. Do you even know what was the curse? " He comes closer to me and hold my face in his hands and wiped my tears with his thumb. 

Elder Stephen he did explain to me everything. I don't need to know anything more. Even though why his words keep telling me there's something more. 

"I know enough. Elder Stephen he said everything about the curse and cure. " I explained to him. But he looks unsurprised. 

"Ahha elder Stephen you are trusting that person over me? " He mocked me and I hated it. 

"He's elder. Alex. He won't lie" I tried to defend Elder Stephen. Alex doesn't have any right to disrespect an elder. 

"For God sake Amy he's the reason your best friend was in a coma for months. He's the person who announced the attack with us well of course along with your so-called mate Aaron"

I couldn't form any sentence. He's lying. Aaron won't lie to me. No this is not true. 

"You are lying. How can you make up such stories? You are disgusting. " I yelled at him. Did he think I would fall in his cooked up stories? 

"Yes, this is exactly why I didn't tell you earlier. And this is exactly why our relationship didn't work because you don't fucking trust me. " He screamed at me. He is losing control as I can see his wolf is trying to take over his body. 

"You know what's the curse? My mate would fall into a cursed mate bond with someone else if she found trust and love in another person. You fall in with Aaron when you were with me that's why yours and Aaron cursed mate bond created. It's created because you couldn't trust your mate. And of course, the curse was to break the cursed one. I had the cure. I had the white wolf, but I chose not to break it as I saw feelings of happiness of you for him. Give me mercy and leave me alone Amy. And forgive me if I happens to kill him today or tomorrow. Because I would do anything to protect my pack and my sister. " After he walked out the room while leaving me with the truth that can't seem to understand. All of it was my fault. I fall in with our enemy. I trusted him. I made him live with us, in this pack. He knows everything about the pack now, 'How they attack and Where's the safe house'. Why did I fall in with such a person? 

"Hey. Amy. Alex asked me to come here"

I heard Emma's voice as she backhugged me. I break down in her arms. I lost everything. I lost the person who loves me the most, who would do anything to protect me and my family. 

"It's not your fault Amy. He fooled you. You were just a pawn in his game to get me"

That hurt me so much. I truly loved him. I trusted him. He was the person where I found comfort whenever I feel low. 

"But how? I-- I never in million times thought that he would betray me" I sat down the floor crying over someone who just used me. 

"Amy I never trusted Aaron. Even when you introduced him to me first. Because your friendship with him even was just strange. He put notes in your room when he wasn't even the part of the pack. He's from the rogue pack. He got your number and started texting you. You never gave him your number. Never you met him first. It was always his first move and you fall for everything. I can't blame you as he acted very well. I almost believed him at Alex home when we had a sleepover. I had some suspicion, But I got to know everything after you told me he brought you to elder Stephen. "

I wiped my tears but it's doesn't seem to stop. Why am I crying over someone who shattered my heart into million pieces? 

He destroyed my relationship with Alex. Do the love and care of each other everything was fake? How can someone act so much? Every second we spent together was preplanned by him. 

"What's this? " Emma read some paper it looks like a letter or note. 

"Look, I guess it was for you" She called out to me. I took the letter from her hands. 

And read the lines it's very familiar. 

When I let you go one step further, my eyes overflow with tears

When you walk for more falling

As you move away to a place where I can't reach you, even if I reach out my hand

I can't catch you, I can only cry

What should I do? What should I do? You're leaving

What should I do? What should I do? You're leaving me

I love you, I love you, I cry out to you

But you can't hear me, because I am only shouting in my heart

All-day long I try to forget you, but I think of you again

All-day long I try to say goodbye, but I think of you

Although you went to a place where I can't hold you, even if my hand reaches out for you

I can't find you, I can only cry

What should I do? What should I do? I can only see you

What should I do? What should I do? I love you only

I am sorry, I am sorry, can you hear me?

Please come back to me, if it's not you, I can't

go on. 

Oh my god, it's the song we heard while watching a drama. We were together holding our hands and cuddled each other. That day he did ask me, Would you leave me for someone else? 

But I said I would never leave him and forever and always will choose him. He told me he can't ever leave me. I broke my promise. He knew the moment I found trust in someone I would trap in the cursed mate bond. He always knew. But he believed in me that I would never leave him. He had trust in me and I broke it. 

The sky went dark as my heart filled with betrayal. I heard my phone go on and off. 

Who would text me at this time? 

It's him. What the hell he wants now. Does anyone think I don't know anything by now? 

I opened the text I got little hope after reading the message but everything went down as I read the last few lines. 

AARON: I believe you already know everything by now. But trust me I love you. I truly loved you. My feelings for you wasn't fake. Everything will be okay after we take Emma back to Elder Stephen. I'll also kill your pathetic excuse of ex-mate. He's the one who's standing between us. Then we will live as we planned. Forever and ever. 

What the fuck. He's sick. I would never allow him to take Emma or killing innocent people and Alex. I'll destroy him with his own game. Alex, I'm sorry I fall into the trap and let someone destroy our beautiful bond. And I let you go. But I promise I'll make everything like before. We will live together. I'll never leave you. I'll apologize to you every single day for the rest of eternity. I hope you take me back. 

'Scarlette' I called out her. She must be so shocked. She's the one who falls in love with Aaron first. She trusted him and always defended him over Alex.

'i'm sorry Amy'

Why is she apologizing to me? It's not her fault. Please don't tell me she thinks this whole shit happened because of her. 

'Why are you being sorry? it's not your fault'

I comforted her. 

'i knew something was off. I saw the blood of innocent people from Aaron. He killed them, Amy. But I didn't know what was happening. It was too late. '

Oh, that's why she doesn't want to talk to Aaron whenever he asked me. She always blocked me these days. So I couldn't understand her situation.

it's okay. We trust the wrong person. Now it's our time to fix the mistakes we did

I encouraged her. I need to seek revenge from Aaron. He used me like a freaking doll. 

'The damage is already done. We can't fix those things which are beyond repair. We can't fix our relationship with him. We can't help him to gain trust again. We can't make him love again. We lost him because we choose someone else other than our precious mate. '

It's true. We lost him. Even after few weeks or in few years Alex had forgiven me. In his heart, it will always be that he's not the perfect one. He's not the one for me or I would leave him again if I find someone else again. I can never erase the heartbreaking memories. We can be together but we can never be like before everything happened. The damage is done and we can't fix it. The realization made me more upset than before. He helped that person to kidnap Emma and they tortured her. And I slept with him when his hands had her blood.. He acted as he cares for her. Maybe that's why he never came to visit Emma when she was out? Why would they want her? Is there something else they are hiding from me?
