Chapter 2 Chapter 2
Anna's POV
I was watching Derek closely as he explained to Ellie the situation.
She glared at me before storming off. I did nothing but get blamed for their bullshit.
"Fuck," he fumed before storming up to me. He glared down at me, and I just looked away. It isn't my fault I didn't want him either; he ruined my idea of a perfect mate. My heart was broken, and I saw no way to heal.
"I'm sorry," I offered softly. He just huffed out while still glaring.
"You fucking should be. I just lost the only woman I will ever love. I don't want you. I never wanted you, and I will never love you," he said, watching me. Fuck, did this hurt more than him fucking her, knowing I could feel the pain?
"I know," I said, walking away as tears filled my eyes. I literally felt my heart crack even more. I didn't want a mate that would never want to love me. Sighing sadly, I walked home and hurried to my room before the tears I held in poured down my face. I could hear his words over and over. I lay down crying as his words just ran through my head on repeat.
I won't ever love you.
Tears fell as I lay on my bed, a mess thanks to my mate. I couldn't be bothered with food or wanting to do anything. I heard my mom enter my room.
"Baby girl," she said worriedly as I lay there with my back facing the door.
"Yes, Mama?" I answered, my head killing me and my wolf crying in my head.
"Are you okay?" She asked, probably knowing I'm not doing good at all. My breath hitched, and I burst into sobs.
"No, I'm not," I sobbed. "I'm never going to be okay." My mate hates me, and he said he will never love me. He said he will never want me, Mama." I cried, my breathing labored, as I lost it. I wanted out. I wanted to leave this pack.
I felt her gather me close as my tears kept falling. I felt so overwhelmed by everything. I'm going to die unloved by my mate, and he most likely would treat me like shit the whole time.
"Oh baby, I'm so sorry you're hurting," she offered her own voice, shaking and hurting for me. I know my parents love me, but mates are supposed to love you too.
"I just want to leave, Mama. I can't be here and have him constantly hurt me because of her. He won't ever be fully mine."I will never have what you and Daddy have," I cried in her arms. I hated being a wolf, and I really hated having a mate. I stayed home from school the next day, needing a day to compose myself. I wished I got a different mate, but that wouldn't be my luck. I finally fell asleep, but I cried myself to get there. Even in my sleep I was crying; it sucked.
The next day I headed to school and found my friends with their mates laughing and smiling. I would never have that. I watched Derek stalk up to me and grunt out "bitch" as hello. I just shrugged and went to class. I'm not going to acknowledge his hateful shit with hate back. I just stayed quiet because it was better than blowing up on him.
"So did you hear Ellie lost Derek to his mate?" I heard girls gossiping as I hid in the bathroom stall. I don't think everyone knows we are mates, but the news is spreading fast. Soon I would be attacked because everyone loved them as a couple. I was a nobody.
"Yeah, it's terrible; the moon goddess made a mistake. They are perfect together," was said back. I felt so much pain hit when I left. I couldn't stay here; I needed to breathe. I hurried home before a panic attack struck me. My breathing was ragged as I staggered in the door. My parents grabbed me as my breathing went labored. Black spots dancing in my vision.
I just knew they were fucking because of the pain and how severe it was. I couldn't breathe, so I began to black out.
"Anna, calm down, sweetie," my mom begged.
"M-mom," I gasped out.
"Hospital," my dad said, scooping me up and running out. We passed Alpha, and he quickly followed. He was so concerned, and from my mother's look, he knew what was going on.
"She can't take much more," my mom said to him. "Your son needs to grow up because he is slowly killing my baby," she fumed. I felt my body being laid down on a bed, and then darkness.
I could hear them talking, but I couldn't wake up. My mom was fussing, and I heard voices talking back to her.
"She has been out for two weeks now," she fumed. My mom was pissed and crying.
"I know, honey," my dad replied back.
"It's all that little fucker's fault; he wants the pack slut over our baby," she sobbed.
"Honey, calm down; Anna will be fine," my father tried to comfort her. I could hear, but waking up was difficult. Another person joined, and I heard Alpha speaking to my parents.
"I'm sorry my son is hurting her. I sent Ellie to a nearby pack, and I just heard she found her mate there. "She isn't coming back," he offered.
"That is a wonderful alpha, but that won't help our baby. "Your son told her he will never love her," my mom replied back.
"I know we argued about his lack of concern for her," he said about me.
"We need to go to the elders and the moon goddess to see if they can be released from each other," my dad stated.
"I tried to, but they refused to break their bond because they said their pups would be the most powerful wolves in the world," Alpha said back.
"He told her he would never love her. "What mate does that to their significant other?" my mom sobbed out. I felt her brush my hair back, and she kissed my head.
I needed to wake up, and I needed to avoid Derek at any cost.
Better yet, I needed to not wake up because death would be better than this sad existence. I would be free from pain and free from a loveless mate relationship.
