#Chapter155I whimpered as my dad laid me on my bed. My mom came rushing in and shooed my dad out. "Baby, how are you feeling?" She asked as she sat beside me."It hurts..." I whimpered. I pointed to my abdomen and scratched at myself. "Stop, you'll hurt yourself," She pried my hands away and sighed.My body itched, it felt like thousands of insects were crawling on me. My heart was beating so fast, I thought I was gonna die."What else hurts?" She asked.I dragged in a breath and screwed my eyes shut. "My chest... It hurts to breathe," I wheezed, "there's something wrong with my heart... it's... beating so fast... it feels-" I choked and sobbed."It's just your heat, baby." She comforted."Mom, it's never... Never like this," I choked.She gazed at me before shaking her head. "What? Do you know... what's happening?" I cried.She looked deep in thought, occasionally shaking her head. If she knew what was causing me this pain why wouldn't she say?"It's not possible... Unless
#Chapter156"Ayla, can I come in?" Owen knocked on my door.It's been four days since I felt that pain. My heat has come and gone so Owen has come home. Everyone has been trying to get me to talk but I have nothing to say. I won't leave my room and I have started locking my door so no one can get in."Ayla, please, unlock your door and let me in." He sighed.I ignored him and buried my head under the blanket. I feel like I've had the life sucked out of me. Yes, I wanted Ethan to be my mate but knowing my destined mate didn't think much of his, tugs at my heart more than I expected."You either unlock this door or I'm gonna kick it down." He warned. I groaned and tossed my blanket across the room.I went towards my door and unlocked it. I swung it open, "Owen, I just want to be alone," I sighed.He looked uncomfortable. He was shuffling on his feet and wouldn't look me in the eye. "What?" I shrugged."Ethan and Mateo have just arrived home." He answered. I paled and backed awa
#Chapter157My eyes felt heavy, and it was like my heart was physically hurting. I was in the comfort of my own bed and, I could feel Owen next to me."When will she wake up, mom?" Owen whispered, his voice laced with worry."The doctor said she's in shock," mom replied with a sigh, "she needs time to come to terms with it." She added.I opened my eyes slowly and glanced at them. "Oh, you're awake!" Mom blurted. "Are you ok?" She asked.I sighed and nodded my head. "Is there anything you need?" She asked as she sat next to me. I shook my head and closed my eyes again."We'll be downstairs if you need us." She consoled, placing her hand on my shoulder and squeezing gently.She gestured her head at Owen to follow her. He stood up, glanced at me with a sad expression then followed mom out of my room.I dragged a breath in. I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I never expected this to happen. I don't know how to deal with this. My head is a mess, and nothing makes sense. I d
#Chapter158I ran home, with tears streaming down my face. I needed to get home; I needed my parents. The bond was making me feel things I didn't know how to deal with. I wanted to rip her throat out when she called herself his mate. I've never been the violent or jealous type, but lately, that's all that is running through my mind.I ran around a corner and bumped into someone causing me to fall back. “Shit, Ayla, are you ok?” Mateo asked, rushing towards me. “Mila, she’s over here!” He yelled over his shoulder.“S- sorry,” I gasped.“No, don’t be sorry. It’s ok.” He comforted. He wrapped his arm around my waist and helped me up. “Oh, Ayla!” Mila blubbered, throwing her arms around me.As soon as my head rested on her shoulder, the tears spilt out. “Shush, it’s ok.” She cooed, stroking my hair.“I-I met h-her,” I stuttered, “she’s... stunning.” I choked.She pushed me back and shook her head, “Don’t do that. Don’t belittle yourself.” She scolded.“She called herself his mate
#Chapter159My eyes sprung open at my door flying across my room. I sat up and rubbed my eyes as my dad and brother came waltzing into my room."She had earphones in... That's why she didn't hear us," Owen groaned.I laid back down and curled up. "Are you getting out of bed today?" My dad asked as he came towards me. I shook my head."Ayla, you need to, baby." He sighed.I ignored them. What I needed to do was find the courage to go and reject Ethan. But I couldn't. No matter how many times I siked myself up, I always end up a blubbering mess.They both left the room, and I stayed where I was. I spent the full day in bed. I didn't eat or drink. I only got out for the toilet, which wasn't often.My parents and Owen keep coming in and out, but I don't acknowledge them. I know they only want to help, but I just want to be left alone.I was spiralling further into a depressive state, and I couldn't pull myself out. Everything seemed dark, I was sinking deeper into darkness. I'm afr
#Chapter160I braced myself against the wall as pain stuck in my chest. Ethan hunched over and gripped his chest."You... Know what you need to." I panted. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain from his rejection."I'm not doing it." He snarled.My eyes shot open, "why?" I choked.He's going to mark Jasmine, he needs to reject the mate bond with me. How can he mate with someone else when I'm still here? His wolf won't allow him to."But I will accept the rejection on one condition." He remarked.I held my breath, waiting for him to tell me what it's going to take for him to let me go. I'd do just about anything to get rid of this pain and heartache. I don't think I can cope much longer, it's destroying me."Spend the night with me." He stated, "We spend the night as mates than in the morning, I will accept your rejection." He added.20My eyes went wide and I choked on my breath. He wasn't serious, was he? That would only make it worse, the rejection could kill me.1"So w
#Chapter161Alpha Miles was looking at me with a strange expression. Does he know Ethan is my mate? I know he knew about Mateo but has Ethan informed him who I am to him?"Ayla, are you ok? You don't look well." He asked.Maybe he doesn't know... I won't be telling him. I could get out of here without Ethan knowing."I'm just not sleeping well," I mumbled.He nodded and smiled at me. "So, what can I do for you? You sounded pretty urgent through the mind link." He raised his brow as he asked my dad."Miles, we've been friends for years... I'm trusting you will help my daughter." You could hear the pleading in his voice as he replied. I glanced at him and shook my head."Ayla, he needs to know. He can help." He whispered. I sighed and nodded. I stared at his desk keeping my eyes focused on the pile of papers on his fax machine.I could see a brochure close to falling onto the floor. I leaned forward and grabbed it. KS Guidance. I held it in my hand and looked back at my Alpha.
#Chapter162I shove my clothes in my suitcase, not bothering to pack them neatly. I need to get out of here quick before he realises what I'm doing. I stop and wipe my face which is meaningless because the tears keep coming.How did my life turn out like this? I was so excited about finding my mate, granted the thought terrified me but I was overall excited. The one wolf that is supposed to be yours, is made for you and will love you through anything... It sounds too good to be true and before, I would have said it wasn't but now, it is.Just because they are supposed to love you, doesn't mean they won't destroy you.2I had everything planned, I was going to continue with the pup handling and work my way up to becoming a pack midwife. I was going to meet my mate, fall in love and have everything my parents have.But he had to ruin that...He broke my heart and then broke my soul."I wish I could take time off work and come with you," Owen grumbled.I sighed, wiping my eyes an
