Chapter 124James POVI remained there on the floor, confused and utterly devastated, a tear slid down my eyes and I quickly wiped it off.I sniffed back the lump of tears that was threatening to fall. I stared at the route that Cassie had passed through."I really hope that I have not lost her Kim." I said to my wolf side."James." I heard Samantha's voice and I quickly got up from the floor.She was standing with Alpha Kayden beside her, they were both holding hands."Good morning Alpha Kayden and his honorable mate." I greeted quickly."Anything wrong?" Samantha asked and I shook my head to tell her her that I was perfectly fine and there was nothing wrong.I kept my gaze to the floor."Then why were you on the floor?" She asked me and I pressed my lips into a thin line.I saw her remove her hands from Alpha Kayden's arm and walk towards me, she patted my shoulder."Did anything to wrong?" She asked, softly urging me to tell her what had happened.I raised my head up to look into h
Chapter 125Lauren's POVWe both stood stiff in the middle of the bar,it seemed like everything else had stopped for the moment. He was the one I had rejected, James. But he did not seen to be so sad at the rejection, it seemed more like he was anticipating what I had told him abd he was glad about it but today, I could see immense sadness and I had the same in my eyes. For some reason, I felt drawn to him somehow.I took off the eye contact and looked away from him back to my drink. I stared at it before carrying the cup, raising it to my lips and gulping down the entire content of the cup."You should do what you were supposed to do right from the start now." My wolf side said to me but I shook my head, remaining as adamant as I had always been.It would always be Kayden for me and no one else, I had to think of something else other than my mate who I could scent was coming closer and closer to me and with each approaching steps, I could feel my wolf side's excitement."Hello, give
Chapter 126Cassie's POVI sobbed loudly in my room, cuddling myself under the thick sheets.A knock came on my door but I did not give a response, it might be James and I so much do not want to talk to him at this moment.I so much hate him right now! For him to have lied to me, he definitely does not consider my interest in any way! He freaking lied to me that he was human and most probably he was intending to keep the secret to himself forever.The door opened anyways but I did not look up to take a look at who just came in."If it's you James, just let me be. I really do not want to ever talk to you." I said with my cracking voice but instead of James voice to give a response, it was a soft voice that replied me, Samantha."Sa... Samantha." I called, getting out of the sheets with tears streaming down my cheeks."Cassie." she called and rushed towards me.She sat on the bed beside me and I buried myself in her arms and cried in her arms."I....I..." I sniffed back tears not being
Chapter 127Samantha's POVAs soon as Cassie left the room, I stood up and approached Kayden."What did you just do? How could you have spoken so harshly to her?" I asked him."I was not speaking harshly, I was only waking up the feelings in her, you think she would love to see me kill James when she can stabilize his mood? Of course she would not, and then she would go back to James." he replied."So smart." Cara complimented."You are really smart but then even if she goes back to James, do you think that would be the end of this issue?" I asked him."That would not be the immediate end but that would be the eventual end, once she starts to stay with James again, she would eventually have to let him into his heart, James is not so much of a fool, he would find a way to warm his way into her heart.""Would you use the same technique if you annoy me?" I asked and he chuckled."And how I can annoy you so much? Tell me, can you do without seeing my addictive face in a day?" He asked and
Chapter 128Cassie's POVI stood dumbfounded, I was struck by her words. So they were mates, James already had his mate and it was this witchy lady.Was....was James attracted to her? Would he have no option than to go to her? Was he kissing her because she is mate and he felt attracted to her or because he was drunk and thought I was the one? I could not answer my questions neither could I find any answers for them either. James was just standing beside me drunkenly while I and Miss Lauren stood, looking at each other."You.... Are.... His.... Mate?" I asked slowly."You heard me right, I am his mate." she replied me and I felt my eyes water yet again with tears.Was this witch going to back down on my James? And what was going to be James stance on this? I was very scared as I could smell the heartbreak I was going to get."You...you might be his mate but he does not love you, he loves only me" I said to her with the little courage that I had left in me and walked away, pulling Jam
Chapter 129Samantha's POVI watched, staring into the blank space for a moment. Lauren was James mate?! That was even more shocking that anything else?! Lauren for all I know was not someone so easy? I just hope things go well."Okay, now things are getting really tough, do you thank that Lauren would back off easily?" Cara asked me."We both know the answer to that Cara." I replied her."Yeah, the answer is a big no.""Do not worry about it, it does not matter. What matters is that you are the one James love, you are the one who is with his heart and not Lauren." I said to her, in an attempt to console her."Samantha, how.... How strong is the bind between mates?" She asked and I sighed softly."The bond can be very strong but... But it's still not strong enough to the point that it can't be broken. There are several wolves out there living with someone other than their mates, the attraction and bond might be there but without love between the mates, it is just much more better to r
Chapter 130Kayden's POVI watched Samantha in a bit of surprise, I was not too surprised, anyone could be anyone's mate."You are not surprised?" Samantha asked me."Of course I am a tiny bit." I replied her."That was probably why she was in the picture.""Do you think she would be a huge hinderance to Cassie and James?" She asked me and I simply pulled her close."Before I and Lauren completely broke off our friendship, she already told me that she rejected her mate, she has rejected James since a long time, there should be no issue about her.""Are you sure?" Samantha asked, worriedly.She really cared a lot about Cassie and James."I am very sure, C'mon Lauren is very much obsessed with me, it would be hard for her to accept anyone else, it is actually more of a relief that she is James mate." I replied."Oh I see, you are very happy, right? You are so happy that Lauren loves you so much, it must feel so good that someone is obsessed with you." she replied and I pulled her cheeks
Chapter 131James POVI groaned as I woke up on a soft material, it was my bed. I held my head in my hands for a moment before raising my head up.Memories of the previous day flooded my brain and I groaned at the memories. Cassie had found out about me, she was in rage and I had gone to the bar where the worse had happened, that demon called Lauren kissed me and that was not just the end, Cassie even had to see the both of us kissing.I ran my hands through my hair, frustrated."Kim, do you think that Cassie would ever forgive me now?" I asked Kim."You did so under the influence of alcohol, I am very sure she would forget about it soon and let you both come together." Kim replied me but I could tell that he was only trying to make me feel better because the reality was no girl would after seeing such a scene, come running into the arms of that man that had hurt her so much."No Kim, I can't just sit down here and await her to come to me,I have to make moves,I gave to let her see and
