Semua Bab My True Mate: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I barely get a chance to say anything because a minute later, a few pack mates barge in, followed by a furious Hunter, as he roars, “What is going on here?!”He falls silent when he sees me and he whispers my name in a shocked voice, “Sarah?”I stare at him, shaken.When I don’t answer, he quickly steps towards me, “Why are you here? You're supposed to be at the lake!”I hear a sniffle and then turn my head to see Valerie crouched on the floor, holding her injured arm.”Me, Valerie, and Hunter grew up together, the best of friends, so the shock in his eyes at seeing Valerie’s state is not surprising.“Valerie?” He crouches down by her side. “Just what is going on here?” Out of all three of us, Valerie was always the weaker one, the one who needed protection. Both me and Hunter were fiercely protective of her. But now as I look at her, I can’t recognize the friend I had once cherished.Valerie leans into hunters chest, sobbing, “I didn’t know she would do this!

My body feels numb as I stare at him and for some reason, the more I look at him, Hunter’s disgusted face overlaps with Lucas’s.I wrap the thick blanket tighter around myself, this feeling of emptiness eating at me. Hunter, my betrothed didn’t want me. Lucas, my true mate, doesn’t want me.Then, who wants me?I open my mouth but nothing comes out. The grief inside me is so thick that I just sink deeper into myself.Finally, I say, softly, “I see.”Lucas just stares at me as a bitter laugh bubbles out of my throat, “Of course. Of course, you wouldn’t want me too. Why am I not surprised?”He frowns, “That’s not what I meant.”I shrug, forcing down my feelings, “Doesn’t matter. So what are you going to do to me now?”“What are you doing?” His lip curls in anger. “I can’t feel you anymore.”I just keep retreating into myself, noty wanting to deal with anything. It’s all so much for me – this constant rejection, being pushed out of my home, the silent bon

Lucas narrows his eyes, “Calm down.”But I am calm, the numb silence inside of me like a still lake, “You were with Hunter. Why? You didn’t bring him-?”“No!” He growls, darting forward till he’s in my face. “Of course not! I had to go and give him an update.”My mouth is dry, “What did you say to him? Did you tell him I was -?”“No,” Lucas narrows his eyes. “I asked him what you did and he said you tried to harm a packmate, his intended.”“His intended?” I feel dizzy at his words. “Who is – He has another mate?”Lucas studies me, “He’s announced an intended mate. She has yet to shift.”Valerie.The realization makes me want to throw up and when I reel, Lucas grabs me by the waist, steadying me, “What’s-?”“Hunter decided on an another mate?” The grief is suffocating.“Why do you care?” Lucas’s eyes turn to slits.I meet his gaze, “Because he was my betrothed. She poisoned me, Valerie.”“You were the Alpha pup’s intended?” Lucas looks taken aback.

I had already suspected something along these lines from what Lucas had told me but to have it confirmed by my own father makes something hard form in my chest.So many things are starting to make sense, including how Hunter had not even given me a chance to explain. I have never heard of a pack mate being banished without even a trial. On the spot banishments or for those who have committed terrible crimes.I stare at my father, my lips moving but nothing coming out. Finally, I manage to say, “But why? What did I do to deserve this?”The two people who I was closest to, my best friends, plotted together to get rid of me. They planned out my death.My father’s face flickers, “It’s – There’s something I never told you. I simply didn’t think that you needed to know. Hunter’s father wanted to join our two families. He wanted you to be one of the Alpha pairs. When both you and Hunter were young, he pushed for the betrothal and later on, he made it a condition for Hunter becomin

Hunter?My soul nearly leaves my body on hearing his name and I press my ear to the bedroom door, trying to listen to the conversation.“You should have some respect,” Hunter growls and it almost feels like I’m listening to a stranger talk.“Why?” Lucas says, mockingly.“Because I’m your Alpha.”“Barely so,” Lucas replies, lazily. “Now why are you here?”I don’t have to see Hunter’s face to know how angry Lucas’s response just have made him. One of Hunter’s biggest flaws is his ego. I remember even back then that he hated talking about Lucas whatsoever.I had never really thought much about it before but right now I can hear the intense dislike in Hunter’s voice. “I want to know if Tyron came to see you?” Hunter asks, his voice angry now.“Tyron?” Lucas pretends to be oblivious to my father’s name even as I flinch.“He’s one of the pack elders,” Hunter says. “Did he come to see you?”“Why would he come to see me?”“Because you executed his daughter.
