"She laid on him like she owned him. They weren't mates. We were mates. But still, here she was claiming to the world that she possessed what was mine."
Amelia Lovecraft, she meets her mate for the first time after longing for many years. What happe...
The bedroom door, slammed shut as soon as Lincoln walked in. I took in a deep breath, just then I heard the door being locked.
"There's no fucking way you're leaving Mia." He sneered walking so close to me as I removed my phone from the nightstand. "Sorry to say that I am Lincoln."
"I can't, even if that meant locking you up in my room or even taking you somewhere, where no one can find us." He spoke roughly.
"That's only gonna make me hate you more. Unlock the door now!" I walked away from him to pick my handbag.
"Hate me more? You just kissed the man you hate?" Lincoln scoffed at me. "Stop fighting the feelings Mia."
"All this mess is only because of the mate bond, can't you see?"
"What's the mess? You regret everything we did yesterday now?" He turned to him, looking into my eyes for answers.
I sighed. "Yes, I shouldn't have. Being beside you makes me weak. And I don't like that." I knew my words were hurting him, but it hurt me more. "You and I are a big mistake." I lied. Being with him made me feel whole. Everything felt just right.
"You are my mate, there's no mistake there. The pack needs their Luna. Just like how I need you. You and I are destined for each other." He pressed.
I shook my head, my eyes brimming with tears. "No. If we were, you wouldn't have loved another. You wouldn't have had her in this very room." I sobbed. "You wouldn't have slept with her. While I waited for you all this time."
I hated how the tears just ran down my face, but I couldn't stop myself. "I tried moving on when I knew you didn't accept me, but some way or another everything led my way to you."
"Mia? Baby don't cry... I know the pain I have caused you. Just give me a chance to fix it. Please." He begged, holding my face, wiping the tears away.
"Lincoln, open the door!" We heard a new voice from the other side of the door. It was his mother. "Linc, open the door now, before you regret doing something." This time it was his dad's in a threatening voice.
"Everyone's here. Let me go Lincoln." I pushed his hands away. "I don't think I can..." I hesitated.
"Give us a fucking moment!" He barked as they pounded on the door. "You don't think you can what?" He asked me looking wretched.
I wanted to tell him that he could never love me as much as he loved Sarah. "This attraction we have towards each other has to stop."
"It never will."
"It will when the bond breaks." It felt like my heart had been ripped out of my body. I could just collapse now.
"I loved you the day I laid my eyes on you. I know I fucked up!" His eyes were turning red, showing his anger laced with sorrow.
I wanted to believe what his eyes had expressed, but I couldn't be a fool anymore.
"Someone has to reject the other." I picked my handbag ready to leave.
Before I could walk to the door, Lincoln pulled me back and took my lips in his. He kissed me like I was all that he needed. It's was rough, passionate and with so much craving.
"Mm Lincoln stop." I pushed him away, I needed to get out of here before my mind gets clouded again.
"Mia please!" He begged again, his shoulders slumped as he watched me walk to the door. The ache inside me kept building with every step I took. I wasn't going to be in his arms anymore. I had to bring an end to this bond.
Before unlocking the door I glanced at him to see him looking completely lost. He swallowed as he looked at me with more pain than myself. The once powerfully built man, stood there resembling a broken soul. An absolutely heart breaking sight. A sob left my lips as I wanted to run back to him and hold him to take away the pain I've caused.
"I love you Amelia. I will love you till my last breath, mate or not."
I covered my mouth muffling my cries. Unlocking the door I stepped out to meet his parents alert watching me with concerned looks.
"Oh sweetheart!" Luna Catherine walked up to me with glistening eyes. She pulled me in for a hug to comfort me, worried about my state.
"I'm so sorry. Tell him that I'm sorry." I shook my head, crying out. "I don't think I can do this." I sobbed with every word. My throat began to hurt and my chest felt heavier by the time.
"It's alright dear. Just so you know, we'll support you with any decision you'll make. We're with you." Alpha Elijah spoke sincerely, earning a sorrowful nod from his mate. "He has to accept the rejection." He mumbled to Luna Catherine.She squeezed my hand before I let go.
A deafening growl erupted from Lincoln's bedroom before we heard a glass shatter. "Lincoln!" I snapped my head to his room.
"Mia, leave now. We got this. Go!" Alpha Elijah spoke cautiously gesturing me to walk down the stairs. Which I obeyed as Lincoln's parents walked to his room.
Praying to the goddess for him, I walked down the stairs and directly to my car. Mum and dad followed quietly without a word being said.

The warm water ran down my spine as I stood under the shower for what seemed like hours. The water washing away the tears that kept coming. Once I felt like I had enough, I closed the tap and wrapped myself in a white towel. Looking into the mirror, I saw a weak girl with red eyes, that held no life in them at all. The lips that he kissed, looked pale and numb.
With hot tears trailing down my cheeks, I walked straight into my closet. And before I got to contemplate my own actions, I wailed into Lincoln's blazer. His scent was very faint on it, but still I needed it for comfort. I hugged the material as though it was Lincoln himself.
"Mia stop torturing yourself. Please!" My mom cried as she walked into my room. "If you love him so much, go back. I can't watch you suffer."
"Love? This isn't love mama, it's just the filthy mate bond." I repeated the same words the maid said to me.
"I spoke to the elders. They shall see you and Lincoln tomorrow, that way they will end the mate bond." Dad spoke as he walked into my room.
"David!" My mother gasped.
"It's less painful this way." He sighed. "It's the only way if Lincoln isn't gonna accept the rejection."
