Not His Type Of Mate
Chapter 193

Alpha Leo's POV

I was surprised to see that she teleported away without giving me the chance to explain the whole situation to her, and I also felt frustrated. I looked around the garden and saw surprised faces, questioning looks, and disbelief in the eyes of all the onlookers, which only irritated me more. I felt like disappearing from the scene. I searched for Maddison, but he was nowhere to be found. I groaned before I rushed away and returned to my room.

Entering my room, I tried connecting with Ava through the mind link, but it wasn't working as she seemed to be blocking me off. I grunted as I paced around in my room, worried and feeling guilty for making Ava's happy day into a sad one again, when I had just resolved to always make her happy. I removed the suit button, removed the suit, and threw it on the bed, feeling suffocated already. Everything was choking me, and my clothes felt like a big burden on my body at the moment. So, I unbuttoned a few buttons from my shirt and opened it to let the air enter my body so I could calm down a little and think.

I was still pondering what to do when the door opened, revealing Nora and Maddison, who walked in with disturbed looks on their faces. "Did you hear about what happened?" I asked Maddison, knowing he wasn't there when the whole thing took place, so he might not understand what had gone wrong yet. He nodded his head, "Yes, Nora explained everything to me. It's a disaster. Have you tried reaching her?" He asked, and I nodded my head. "Yes, I did, but she blocked me off. She doesn't want to speak to me. I don't know what I'm supposed to do now," I replied, and we all took in a deep breath.

"Now, can you see what I was telling you? The plan was silly from the beginning, and I told you to stop when I realized it was getting too far, but you were too stubborn! You've always been stubborn in making rash decisions, and now you've created another trouble for us. Will you make us lose Ava now too? Will you not do something to bring her back before she runs away finally?" Ethan asked angrily, and I needed no one to tell me he was very angry with me. But was that what I needed at the moment? I had blamed myself enough to know that blaming myself or anyone blaming me wouldn't solve the matter. It would only make me sadder.

"If this were the right time to blame someone, it'd be great, but do you think I need you to blame me now? What I need at the moment is ideas on how to get to her, not you blaming me instead of thinking of one!" I yelled back at him and hissed. I was sad enough as it was, but he was only worsening the matter by making me feel more miserable. Was a mate that much more important than myself?

I was angry, sad, frustrated, and worried until Nora cleared her throat, and I looked at her. "I will try connecting with her to see if she will want to speak with me. Let's see," she said, and my eyes lit up. I hadn't seen them together much, but I knew they'd gotten close, and I felt like Ava might not want to ignore her like she did to me. "Go ahead, please," I said to her, and she nodded her head. She tried connecting with her, and soon, a smile appeared on her face before she gave Maddison and me a thumbs-up. She was silent for a while, but after a few minutes, she took in a deep breath and looked at me. "She told me she is fine and she just needs some time alone, but she refused to tell me where she is. I tried all the tricks I knew to make her tell me, but she knew I would tell you, and she told me she is okay by herself," she replied to me, and I frowned. "She wouldn't even tell Nora her whereabouts. This is going to be long," I mumbled to myself and groaned.

"Don't worry, I'm sure she will be back," Maddison comforted me, but that only made me chuckle bitterly. "You don't know Ava. When she sets her mind on something, she will do it for sure. She won't return to me, I know it," I replied, breaking my heart into a million pieces as I ran my fingers through my hair and grunted.

"I don't think that's so, Alpha Leo. Ava loves you so much, and I'm sure she won't be able to live without you. She is just angry at the moment, but she will be back when she can sort her feelings," Nora defended her, making me wish that she truly knew Ava more than I did and that what she said would happen for real. But I was the only one who knew how stubborn Ava could be. She hated me at the moment, and I doubted that would ever change for the rest of our lives. But I was done arguing with Nora and Maddison. In fact, my head was starting to ache, so I sighed and looked at the two of them. "I want to take some fresh air outside. Let's talk about this later," I said to them, and before they could say another word, I rushed out of the room, leaving them there. I returned to my main room, which I hadn't been to in days. I had missed the room so much, but it wasn't the time to think about the room. I sat on my bed and tried connecting with Ava again. I thought she would block me as she had been doing, but surprisingly, she replied to me. "Ava, please, don't cut me off and listen to me. Where are you? I can come and meet you there so we can talk. Where are you at the moment?" I asked her impatiently while hoping that she wouldn't end the conversation without telling me where she was. "Why do you want to know?" Her soft yet sad voice replied to me, and I sighed bitterly. "I'm sorry, Ava. I'm so sorry." I tried apologizing even though I knew it wouldn't move her a bit. "How could you? I trusted you. How could you do this to me? Were you unsure of my feelings toward you, or do you think I was deceiving you all this while?" She asked, and I hung my head. It was true; I didn't trust her or everything she said to me, and I was unsure of her feelings toward me. But I knew it wasn't the time to tell her that, as it would only make her sadder.

"I was only trying to be careful. I didn't want to get hurt or make a decision that I would regret later. I'm so sorry, Ava," I apologized, hoping she would forgive me. "I can't do it. I can't be with you anymore. You don't trust me, and it's obvious you don't want to be with me either. You hate me, Alpha Leo," she cried, and I shook my head. I wished she was in front of me so I could let her know how much she meant to me at the moment, but she wasn't, and it broke my heart.

"No, Ava. Can we see and talk? I can explain everything to you, please," I begged. But instead of replying to me, she ended the mind link, and I tried connecting back, but she blocked me off again. I tried it over and over, but it was the same result, and I had to give up after numerous tries. I was heartbroken and grieved. I thought my life was finally going to change for the best, only to encounter this trouble again. I felt devastated.

I went to the bar and picked up a bottle of whiskey, which I opened and started drinking. Soon, I heard a knock on the door, but I paid no attention to it. "I don't want to talk to anyone. Even if it is my mother, I won't talk to her!" I yelled at the door before sitting on the bed and continuing to drink. The person continued knocking for a while, but they soon left when they realized I wasn't going to reply to them. Soon, I fell asleep.

Waking up soon after, I yawned and rolled around a bit before I opened my eyes. I felt a familiar presence in the room, but I wasn't sure who it was, as I wasn't fully awake yet, and the scent I perceived resembled Ava's so much, which made me conclude that I was wrong because Ava would never be in my room when we just fought before I fell asleep. I yawned again and tried sitting up in bed; that was when I saw Ava sitting with her back turned to me in the bed, and my eyes widened. I wasn't sure if I was seeing well or if I was only hallucinating because I got drunk before I fell asleep, but she looked so real. "Ava? Is that... you?" I asked cautiously.

Even though it was a dream, I wanted to stay in that dream longer with her because I knew I would be heartbroken if I woke up to reality again. She turned her head to look at me and sighed, "It's me. I'm here," she replied, and my eyes widened.
