My Cruel Mate
Unfortunately, Jamal was not around.
"Good morning," I tried to sound as normal as I could. They nodded. Marcos even gave me a tiny smile. As I took my seat, my gaze swayed towards my mate. He wasn't looking at me. Alpha Edward might not have said the words, but he was rejecting me as a mate with his attitude and it hurt more than I'd expected. I knew he wasn't a good man, but I expected some kindness, since we are mates. I slowly started to eat when Marcus said, "People are excited that they have a new Luna." He was teasing his elder brother, and with the way he reacted, he got what he wanted. Alpha Edward glared at me in annoyance and continued to eat his sausage.
