Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 7

Dolf started coughing as his sister Lupe rushed to his side with tears in her eyes and said, "If you promise to not hurt big brother, I'll tell you a secret that Luna made me promise not to tell anyone." Connor immediately got his attention, and so he kneeled down in front of the little girl and nicely asked her to tell him all she knows about his mate.

"Now little girl, what secret do you want to tell me?" He nicely touches her hair.

Lupe looks at him and Dolf, and looks again at Connor.

"I know where Luna is... she lives into the woods." Lupe said slowly.

"Where?" Connor asked her again.

"The place where some guys want to hurt me." Said Lupe.

When Connor hears that, he gets excited and happy and immediately hugs the little girl.

"Thank you Lupe." He said softly.

Lupe just nodded at him.

ལ

For that instant he got some hope that maybe just maybe, we will replace her and bring her back home.

It's been a whole two weeks since Louve left her supposed mate but the pain is still as painful as ever. The mate bond is not yet fully broken; it's just weaker.

Usually, when one mate officially rejects another, they both experience a great deal of pain. The heartbreak doesn't last as long if the other mate accepts the rejection but in her case, she doesn't think he will ever accept the rejection not because he wants but because of his ego. She was sure he's probably more angry at the fact that he's not the one that rejected her first.

Mates rejecting one another rarely happens but from what she has heard the mate bond never completely breaks and the void never disappears. Hopefully it stops soon, she is tired of it.

Today, she decided to leave the tree house as Louve and not as Harou. That way she doesn't draw attention to herself as she goes for a walk.

Tears leave her eyes as she thinks of his mesmerising gloomy, sparkling greyish blue eyes, as he looks at her when he thinks she is not looking, his so sexy deep voice...

Her thought was cut off as she smelt a sweet scent of fresh pine and pure male masculinity... mate.

She stops on her tracks and looks at her surroundings and sees him.

He was standing a few metres away from her with his greyish blue eyes, a shade darker and his perfect sharp jawline was clenched along with his hands which were made into fists by his side. "Go to mate!" Harou said in her mind.

"No, I can't go back to him. What if he wants to kill me for rejecting him?" She said to her wolf.

As soon as she thought of that she looked back at him only to replace that he was walking towards her and so she took a step back. Only to freeze in her spot when an earth shattering growl was heard from her mate.

As she looked at him, now noticing that he's getting closer, she stepped back and almost ran. She wanna run away.

"L-Louve!" Connor calls her.

She heard her mate's voice and that's when she remembered all the things he had done to her. She couldn't even look at him as more tears left in her eyes. As she looked at her feet as if they were the most interesting thing on earth. Louve run so fast and he chase her, and finally he grabbed her arm, and she struggle.

He holds her both arms to stop her struggling.

"Sweetheart, please look at me." He softly said to her.

She couldn't bring herself to look at him.

"My Queen, please look at me, I want to look into your eyes and admire your beauty." He tried to persuade her but she just shook her head and continued to look down.

She saw him raise his hand to her face and immediately she flinched away and covered her face with her hands. She waited for the pain but she never felt it.

A second later Connor removed her hands from her face and lifted her face up as he wiped away her tears. A wave of shame went through her as she saw how hurt he was by her flinching away.

"I would never hit you... I'm sorry, I made you scared of me, let's go back to the pack house and we can maybe talk some more, okay?"

Louve shook her head, "No, I don't wanna go back there."

She saw pain, heartbreak, regret and something else in his eyes maybe love but that's highly unlikely. He caressed her cheek and her traitorous body leaned into his touch.

"I promise I won't hurt you. I just want to talk to you, my Queen."

His Queen? Is he for real right now or am I imagining this?

Connor started walking as he gently pulled her along with him. She could see the pack warriors around them as they walked towards his territory which means that they were all looking for her which made her feel all fuzzy and warm on the inside. What if they are angry at me for rejecting their Alpha? What if he is angry at me? What if he punishes me for rejecting him?

What if he puts me back in the silver cell? What if he's just being nice so that he can lure me back to his territory? What about his bimbo Luna?

It was as if she broke off a trance as she saw the pack house in the distance and so she pushed him away from her and ran the opposite direction with her heart beating in her chest. She could feel a panic attack threatening to take over my form. She was soon painfully tackled to the ground by an angry looking wolf who she quickly recognised as Clell my mates wolf and that was the last thing she saw as she let the darkness consume her hoping that she wouldn't wake up in the silver cell. Louve slowly open her eyes only to be welcomed by darkness and a burning pain in her whole body. She gives a double take at her surroundings and quickly recognises the rotten flesh surrounding it and the bloody metallic smell. I can't believe he did this to me.

"Aaahhhh." She screams in pain. "Connor! I can't believe you did this to me!"

She screamed and screamed as the silver walls of the cell were closing in on her.

"Aaaahhhh. You, kill me... Ahhh."

"Louve, Louve! Wake up! My Queen, wake up!"

Louve felt someone shaking her and so she opened her eyes only to be met with her mates flaming gold eyes.

"Aaaahhh." She screamed as she jumped off the bed pushing Connor away from her.

Connor's eyes immediately turn back into their beautiful greyish blue colour and she realised that he has tears in his eyes and his expression showing nothing but pain and regret.

He takes a step towards her and Louve takes a step back.

"Louve it was only a nightmare. I didn't do anything this time, I promise." He takes another step towards her but this time she lets him get closer to her and when he is right in front of her. He looks at her and opens his arms and asks, "Can I hold you?"

Louve didn't answer his question; she just attacked him with a big bear hug which resulted in him falling down with her. On top of him, she was crying on his chest as he ran his fingers in her hair and whispered soothing words to her. Minutes passed as she cried on him, next thing she knew he was carrying her to bed and tucking her in. After she fell asleep listening to his heartbeat as he caressed her as if she was the most fragile piece of art in the whole world. It's too bad that she is still mad at him. She knows she was being moody and irrational. She is scared of him yet she also seeks comfort from him. It's crazy but it's better than a panic attack and feeling lonely.

Louve opened her eyes and this time she felt at peace as she looked at the beautiful room. She was decorated in classy lace and silk with navy blue and white colours everywhere around the room.

She recognised the room as her mate's room. She saw three doors; one must be the bathroom, the other must be the walk-in closet while the other was the exit.

She placed one foot on the floor only to hear a grumpy yelp coming from the floor and so she looked down only to see her mate covered in a navy blue comforter as he opened his eyes and looked at her. "Morning sweetheart." He said with a sexy morning voice.

Her eyes went from his broad shoulders to his biceps and triceps to his gorgeous eight packs to the sexy deep v-line and the impression visible "tent" in his boxers it just got hot in here. "Louve... Louve..."

"Yes?" She answers as he snaps her out of her trance.

"I've been calling you for a while now, what are you thinking about?" Connor asked her with a smirk on his face. Meaning that he knows what he is doing to me so she just threw a pillow to him which he easily catches and laughs. "Louve please stay here, I'm going to get an obvious needed cold shower, hopefully you will still be here by the time I finish and you would have changed your clothes." Connor says as he goes to what she presume is the bathroom.

As he closes the bathroom door, she looks down at herself and blush as she sees that she in a short light pink see through nightdress. She feels a little proud for being responsible for his need to take a cold shower. But deep down she feels guilty for betraying herself and joking around with him.

He caused her great pain and that pain can never recover from.

As he went into the bathroom, she went out to her room that was her when she stayed here and took a very quick shower. She tied her hair into a ponytail and then wore black jeans and a black jersey that she may or may not have stolen from the Alpha. She went back to his room so that he doesn't go all crazy when he doesn't see me there since he told her not to leave. She went to sit on the bed and blushed as she thought of how long he had been taking a cold shower because of her.

The door to the bathroom opened and Connor came out with water drops everywhere in his chest and a white towel tied dangerously loose on his waist. He was busy drying his hair with a towel as she watched a drop of water move from his hair down his chest to the ridges of his eight pack and then to his deep v-line.

The things she wanted him to do to her, the images that came to her head thanks to Harou did nothing to cool her down as she clenched her tights together.

Connor suddenly froze in his spot, dropped the towel he used to dry his hair and then slowly turned around and looked at her with his eyes changing from blue to gold and from gold to black and then back to gold. "Get out!" Connor shouted in his Alpha voice as clenched his jaw.

Louve stood there like an idiot wondering what she did to make him angry.

"I said get out!!!" The way he was shouting at her with his Alpha voice made him sound so hot that it made her clench her thighs even harder together as she imagined him being dominant in other ways.

Connor looked beyond frustrated as his eyes twinkled as if he was mind linking someone. She could see that he was losing the last shred of his control, which confused her as she didn't see why he was getting this way. "I didn't do anything." She answered and was confused.

Maybe he has gone back to his old ways. She can't believe she let her guard down around him.

His eyes turned black as he took a step towards her but before he could get too close May rushed into the room and quickly pulled Louve out. And she was still confused as to what was going on. May then apologised to her for harshly pulling her out of Connor's room as she then took her to the kitchen and made her breakfast which she was very thankful for.

She could tell they were more than she wanted to say to her but she let her be. And honestly, she wasn't in the mood to deal with anything else.

After breakfast, Louve went to her room where she saw Lupe who looked very guilty as she hugged her and told her that she was the one that told Connor where she lived and that he would replace her in her territory and said she was a friend of Harou.

She was glad she didn't tell him that she was Harou but even now that he thinks she is a close friend of Harou she probably gets a lot of questions about her. She was surprised he hadn't asked her how she even became a rogue.

Just as Lupe was telling me about her brother's condition there was a knock on her door and Connor entered looking as handsome as ever.

Lupe left the room as soon as Connor sat down on her bed with his slightly wet hair, which is odd since he came out of the shower a long time ago.
