Broken By My Mate Novels & Stories

“Alright. Get some rest and don’t forget to drink the tonic at lunch. I’ll drop your sister back home on the way.” They left hand in hand, and the house finally fell into silence. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. Today was April 21st. I had only six days left until my soul completely faded away.

Mia pov I stood watching mates find each other when I smell him and my heart stops. My mate is here but he is with his boyfriend. My heart feels broken as I watch his eyes widen as he takes me in. This can not be happening right now. I back away and run trying to get home so I can leave. He won't leave his boyfriend I know this but it still hurts. I waited my whole life for a mate only to find he is taken already. Tears blur my vision and I fall skinning my knees as I escape. I feel hands on me and freak out trying to fight them off. Tingles fill my skin and I know my mate chased me.

Bates grimaced. "You guys aren't doing too good?" He asked. "Some days are better than others. Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting a riptide. I take two steps in the right direction and then, next thing I know, I'm swept back out to the deep." His eyebrows furrowed. "I thought things were supposed to be easy for mates?" I scoffed. "They would be if our mate bond hadn't been broken when Luca couldn't keep it in his pants." I froze as soon as I'd said it.

“But your Beta told me what happened. How are you holding up?” I looked at her, dumbfounded, as she poured tea into the empty cup and slid it across the table toward me. What could I say? I was shattered. I had barely found my mate, and even though she had been adamant in her rejection of me, the breaking of our bond had nearly destroyed me. I wasn’t even sure how I had survived, that was unheard of among marked mates. I plopped into the empty chair, accepting the tea as I considered my next words.

I was a failure in every possible way, a traitor to the woman I loved and a traitor to my pack. The only thing that kept my heart beating at all was the smallest, flimsiest spark. An idea so faint and foolish that I couldn’t even let myself think it. But even in the numbed haze I stumbled through, as my pack and my life fell apart around me, it still burned with a quiet light. I knew what it felt like when a mate bond was broken by death. I’d felt it before, with Bria. Here and now, with Michaela gone, it felt…different.

I turned my back at him before I fully let myself break in front of him. Tears were streaming down my face but I wiped them off just like how I will wipe him off my system. Stupid Mate Bond! A groan escaped my mouth as I let my hand brush through my hair out of frustration. I never thought that finding my mate would turn out like this. I could not help but smile bitterly as I recalled what he had called me, a rejected mate. It stung, but at the same time, it gave me a newfound sense of strength and determination to move on and find someone who would accept and cherish me for who I am.

Without caring about anyone or anything, I rose shakily to my feet and stumbled out of the room, the laughter of my tormentors ringing in my ears. I left the club and broke down, crying so hard it felt like my eyes might burst from the tears. “What is this pain?” I whispered, struggling to understand the crushing ache in my chest. Was this what breaking a mate bond felt like? It was unbearable, like I was going to die. Going home wasn’t an option that night. Instead, I found a nearby alley and curled up there, letting the night pass with nothing but tears. When morning finally came, I forced myself to go home. But as soon as I walked through the door, a slap across my face greeted me. I met

Needed something to break. I stormed past the training yard. My fists were balled, my nails digging deep into my palms. I wanted to punch a wall. Drive my fist into it until something gave in…bone or brick, didn’t matter. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. Not here. Not with every heir out here watching like I was some goddamn hero. I gritted my teeth and looked up at the sky, breathing sharp. Mate. The word burned through my skull. Mate. To a boy.

I got up and walked to my room. My heart was breaking into a million tiny pieces. I didn’t think that I would ever be able to put it back together. And he hasn’t officially rejected me yet. I didn’t know how I would survive when he does. Mates can reject each other. It doesn’t break the bond, though. Nothing does. It is only words. But it lets you know that your mate doesn’t want you, and it is horrible. The bond is alive, but you can’t do anything about it.

I was looking confused but I could bet the alpha was looking more confused than I was. “It didn't break” He muttered in a cracked voice. “The mate bond didn't break”
