Finding out more about this mate.

I wake up early in the morning to the sounds of boards creaking, I can tell they are getting closer to my bedroom door. I keep listening and the steps get closer until someone opens my door, I can smell that it’s  Raya. It's hard to miss her expensive, over-bearing smell of perfume. She keeps creeping closer until I speak out. 

“What the fuck are you doing in my room Raya.” 

“Holy shit! You scared me Lily! I just came to check on you, I didn’t mean to wake you up, I just didn’t get a chance to talk to you last night, you stormed out pretty quickly and I tried giving you space but I can’t anymore.” She speaks out. 

Hm do I want to talk to her? Not really. Should I talk to her? Probably. 

“What do you want?” I say simply, not really caring. 

She sighs before beginning

“Lily I’m sorry, trust me I am. We’ve been best friends since we were both little girls and I don’t want something like this to come in between us! I trust you and love you. I don’t want to lose you Lily.. you need to know that i always wanted to tell you, your mom wouldn’t allow it tho and said to my mom if I was going to try and tell you she’d move you away, never to see us again. I had to keep my mouth shut I swear!” She pleads. I honestly don’t know why but I don’t even really care. 

“Raya this feels like betrayal. I am not ready to forgive you and want to be left alone. Bye” I simply say to her. She looks shocked but nods her head slowly and walks out. I sigh but get up because I guess I’m awake now. I grab some clothes for the day and head for the shower, when I’m in there I do my business and wash my hair. After I am done I grab a towel and dry off leaving my hair to dry on its own, I find my stuff and get dressed applying light makeup. I grab my phone and see like 5 messages from Alexander. Fuck I shouldn’t have agreed to this.

Alexander: Hey Chloe! Can’t wait to see you today. What time are you coming here? I have a meeting and something else after that I need to do, hopefully around 3 you could come? I’m at the blue moon pack.

“Chloe” : Hey Alex. Yes I can come at 3 for an hour or so. 

Just a quick reply. I'll be there for an hour and that’s it. It’s already 7 so I go downstairs and see Raya is still here talking to my mom. 

“What the fuck are you doing here still, I said I don’t forgive you and don’t want you here. “ I all but shouted at her. She jumps out of her chair scrambling for her stuff and says a quick I’m sorry before running out the door with tears in her eyes. I glare at my mother before walking away and I can hear her crying, right now tho isn’t about her, or feeling bad for her. I have to have a shower and get ready to go out, I should’ve never agreed to go see that “mate” of mine, I should’ve told him I was busy and would try and make time for him soon. Instead I’m fucked and have to go talk to him. I make quick work of grabbing everything I need, making sure it’s only a bag full of stuff, I pull my clothes on making sure they are stretchy and easy to run with, I am not a very good runner but I will train and get stronger for Sapphire, right now tho I need to listen to her and figure out how to deal with this mate problem. 

‘Just trust me Lily, I am older than you think.’ Sapphire says vaguely. 

We leave the house without even a word to our mom, or a glance. Me and Sapphire just go over the basics about how mates are sacred, cherished bonds between two soulmates. I messaged Alexander letting him know I was almost there but still haven’t even received a message back yet. I arrive at his pack's gates and let the guards know I am here to see the alpha, my mate and without question they let me in. I’m showed the pack house and go inside the front door, an omega leads me towards his office, as we get closer I can hear something happening inside, within a minute me and the omega both can hear it, also a lot more clearly which is obviously someone fucking in there. Me and Sapphire laugh and think this is honestly for the best, the easiest way to reject him. Without hesitation I push the door with a harsh shove startling whoever is inside. 

“What the actual fuck!” Alexander starts yelling before he notices who I am and his whole face goes pale. 

“C-Chloe!” Alexander stutters. For more than a moment I forgot that my hair was red and I had a totally different identity right now. 

“Alexander” I say back simply. He’s panicking now looking at the chick- wait. That’s Raya. And she looks pissed, glaring at me with a smirk on her face, like she just won Lmao. 

Alexander goes to say something but I cut him off. 

“No need Alexander. I, Chloe reject you, Alexander, as my mate. “ me and Sapphire say, she told me it would work using our fake name and feeling the bond snap I feel very relieved. 

“Goodbye Alexander and his whore!” I say in a song song voice. Raya looks like she’s gonna lunge at me but Alexander stops her and shakes his head while holding his chest. He looks broken and defeated but this is his problem not mine.
