Final Decision

Fated But Not Destined

Chapter 5

*************Final Decision*************

Chloe’s POV

“Mom!!!!, at least have some respect for him!!, you can’t dissemble our union in his presence.” I fired at her.

“I am dissembling the union in his presence to sound as a warning to him because I don’t want to ever see him close to you or else it would be war between the werewolves and Lycans.

“I looked at my mate with tears on my face and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking because his face was emotionless.

“How about we talk this out mom!!!, we can definitely talk this out.”

“How about you follow me to somewhere private so we can talk it out?” I pleaded with her and she didn’t even bulge.

“Mom please!!!!!!!, you aren’t just hurting my feelings but also the feelings of my mate, you can continue hurting my feelings but I don’t want you to hurt his feelings so please be a good mother and follow me to the kitchen so we can talk it out.” I pleaded one more time and she followed me.

We arrived at the kitchen as I sat at the kitchen table, tears streaming down my face as I pleaded with my mother.

"Please, Mom, don't do this. I'm not ready to get mated to someone I know nothing about.”

“I want to get mated to the one I know about, I want to get mated to my Lycan mate,” I explained to her with tears falling off my eyes freely.

My mother's face was set in a stern expression as she replied, "You're being ridiculous.

“You're almost 21 years old, and it's time for you to start thinking about your future and stop thinking like a baby.”

“You can’t get mated to a Lycan because we are sworn enemies so this is a wonderful opportunity for you to get mated to the mate I got for you.

“He's a good man from a good family, and he'll take care of you. It's not about what you want, it's about what's best for you."

My heart felt like it was breaking. I couldn't believe that my own mother didn't understand my dreams and aspirations.

I begged, "But Mom, this isn't what I want. I want to make my own choices and live my own life. I don't want to be trapped in a loveless situationship just because it's convenient for you and your family." I cried out.

My mother's face softened slightly, and she reached out to touch my hand. "I understand that you're scared, but trust me, this is the right decision. You'll see that everything will work out in the end." She encouraged me.

I looked at face and all I could see was a mother who is taking a blind decision that they are all going to regret.

All I could see was a mother who doesn’t care about her daughter feelings and all she was asking from her daughter was for her selfish interest.

All I could see was a mother who can sacrifice her daughter happiness just to get what she wants.

“You’ll grow to fall in love with him, I can assure you that.” She said to me with a reassuring smile on her face.

But i knew that i wouldn't. I couldn't force myself to love someone i didn't know and give up my dreams.

I stood up from the table and said firmly, "I'm sorry, Mom, but I can't do it. I won't get mated to him."

I walked out the door and ran to my room, not looking back as I heard my mother calling my name.

I knew it will be hard, but i was determined to fight for my future and my happiness even knowing fully well that I won’t be able to fight my mom.

Immediately I got to my room, I sat on my bed, my head in my hands as i cried uncontrollably.

My room was a mess, with clothes and personal belongings scattered everywhere.

I couldn't believe what my mother had just told me, that she will be getting me mated to someone i have never met before.

I thought back to the conversation with my mother, the way I was told that it was time for me to settle down with someone I know nothing about, that it was the right thing to do, But i couldn't bring myself to accept it, it felt like my life was slipping away from my control.

I felt trapped, like i have no say in my own future.

I had always dreamed of finishing college, having a career, traveling the world and getting mated to the man of my dream but now it seemed like all of that was going to be taken away from me.

I cried for what felt like hours, letting out all the pain and hurt that i had been holding inside.

I felt like i was suffocating, like I couldn't breathe. I couldn't believe that my own mother could do this to me after all the promises she made to me about allowing me get mated to the man of my dream.

As i cried, i knew that I had to do something, i couldn't let this happen to her.

I knew it would be hard to stand up to my mother and her selfish interest but I was determined to fight for my future and my happiness.

I sat on the edge of my bed, my eyes red and puffy from crying.

I held a crumpled tissue in one hand, wiping off the tears that was still falling from my eyes.

My mind was racing with thoughts and regrets, replaying the events of what my mother said to me.

I felt so alone, and the weight of my sorrow was overwhelming.

Exhausted both emotionally and physically, I lay down on my bed, still fully dressed, and closed my eyes. I couldn't stop the tears from falling, but as i lay there, my breathing slowly became deeper and more regular.

Third Person POV

Her breathe indicated that she had fallen asleep. Despite her sadness, she was finally able to find a moment of peace and escape, even if it was just for a little while, in the solace of sleep.
