LOVE ME AGAIN MATE By Katie Spheres
Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Giana.

What is happening?

I take a stumbling step back. My tight grip on the supposed gift grinds it into a ball of useless paper but it does nothing to console my tensed muscles.

I can’t watch this.

I slowly turn around and dash to my room. The only place my stupid mind leads me to. Everyone is occupied with the perfect view to notice the young girl in distress.

I don’t believe what I just saw.

Is he silently rejecting me? How will Jace get himself a girlfriend of all the people?

The pain I feel in my chest is unbearable.

My heart is aching so badly that I want to rip it out. I wanna cry but my tears refuse to oblige. This is shocking and I could have never imagined this would happen in my whole lifetime. Especially with Jace.

It can’t be.

Jace would never hurt me.

I lock the door and slide on it until my butt is touching the cold floor. The window on the right side of my room forcefully opens and my gaze immediately lands in that direction. I didn’t even smell him. I quickly stand up a bit nervous when I look into his black eyes.

They are as black as coal signifying his wolf is in full control. How could he allow our mate to take another she-wolf instead of us?

He is supposed to protect us.

“Mate” he whispers, hurriedly covering the distance between us. I don’t move. I just stare at the boy I have loved all my life in sheer wonder. He grew his hair. My Jace went ahead and pierced his ears, he is no longer the innocent boy I knew. f**k! He used to hate tattoos but this Jace has almost his whole b*dy covered in them. Was it out of peer pressure?

Maybe I don’t know him anymore.

The moment he touches my arms. It’s like a big pull forces me towards him and overwhelming emotions take over. At that moment of weakness, my wolf takes control and everything else becomes a blur.

“I’m sorry, it shouldn’t have happened” he regretfully whispers while putting on his clothes. How I ended up n*ked on my bloody bed, only my wolf can answer that.

From how shattered clothes are dispersed around the room and my aching b*dy, my wolf went far. I don’t blame her though, she’s three days old and I haven’t even shifted yet, she is still completely primal.

“Jace” I plead in a whisper to earn his attention.

“No one should know about this, you being my mate doesn’t change a thing, Ariana. I have a girlfriend now” he never said my full name from the beginning.

The moment I told them my name he had turned it to Ana and it stuck. Also, Jace never used that voice on me. The cold commanding and threatening tone.

“You are my mate” I mumble in defeat, finally replaceing the courage to cry. I slowly get out of the bed and fall into his arms. Jace does not hold me back and my heart aches more.

Is this really happening?

He looks down at me like I’m irritating him. “Please don’t leave me, Jace, we wanted this right? We waited for so long for this Jace. We’re finally mates” I desperately shake his arms like it’s gonna snap sense back into his head.

I must look pathetic right now. He never wanted to see my tears. Right now he is staring at them completely unaffected.

“I don’t need a mate, and this stays between us. My parents or anyone else can’t know Aria. Don’t you dare open your mouth? You wouldn’t wanna test me” he forces the words out through clenched teeth. The veins on his forehead are popping and his hands are in tight fists on his sides.

“Then why did you take my innocence?” I ask in exasperation not letting his b*dy go. My b*dy is bare and in pain but I don’t care right now.

“If you have a girlfriend, why take advantage of a mate you don’t want, only to threaten her?” Goddess, he is hurting me. Can’t he see that?

“Ask my wolf that” he rudely interjects, his voice the one I don’t

recognize. He regards me with no tenderness or guilt at all. Is this what he turned into? An inconsiderate son of a b*tch?

Jace does one thing that finally breaks me more. He violently pushes me and I stumble on the floor with a hiss.

Oh! Goddess! I must be having a terrible dream.

“Get the hell out” I grit, pulling the sheets to cover my already exposed b*dy. He is so shameless to stare at what he does not want.

With one emotionless glance. He walks away and It’s like he just took my heart with him. I carelessly lay still and wail harder than I have ever done. He can’t do this to me.

It was supposed to be beautiful. We were supposed to be special but he ruined it.

Jace took what he wanted and tossed me away like I didn’t matter. I was living in my fantasies all this time. I have waited for him for two years. Counting every second until the moment I saw his car.

You can’t do this to me, goddess. I have never hurt anyone.

I cry until I can’t anymore. My wolf keeps whining but there is nothing I can do to help her. I don’t know how I will get through this. It’s pure torment, especially when it comes to someone I trusted with everything in me.

It’s still noisy outside, probably the pack is having the meals by now. Celebrating the return of their alpha together with his fake mate.

I slowly stand up and after locking the door and all the windows, I set a warm bath for myself where I drain more of my misery away.

“Are you okay honey, you look pale” Luna asks, opening the windows and pulling away the curtains, causing immense light to take over the darkness in the room.

“Just tired” I sigh, tiredly sitting up. My mind and b*dy are completely

worn out.

I can’t believe he did that. And he had the guts to threaten me.

“I know it’s hard dear, that’s why I let you rest yesterday. Sometimes life doesn’t always give us what we want. You have an amazing mate out there sweetheart, just like Jace found his” She rubs her palm on my back in comfort, but I quickly jerk away from her touch like it just burned me.

17:10

I wish I could tell her his son is the one but I can’t. Instead, I silently walk to the bathroom. I need another shower. Anything to keep me in my

room.

I can’t sit and listen to her useless advice and unnecessary console.

“Come for breakfast after you are done, okay?” I block her voice away and instead listen to the sound of the splattering water on the bathroom floor.

I don’t know how but he is going to regret hurting me. I bitterly think to myself and my silent wolf forcefully jerks up.

My b*dy trembles in pain and thick black veins appear all over my skin. I gasp in horror looking at the bathroom glass wall and I’m perplexed to see my eyes completely black.

It’s painful, I want to scream but it’s like my voice is stuck in my throat. Then after a minute, a cooling sense washes all over my b*dy making everything disappear. The pain and the veins are no longer there, and I’m back to my human form.

My b*dy tiredly slumps on the floor and I feel so overwhelmed. I have never felt this way before even when I was shifting.

What is wrong with me?
