Not Your Mate Anymore Novels & Stories

“It feels like everything is crumbling. I was searching for my dad again this morning… and then that message from her. She basically said she wishes she never kept me.” Mira’s expression softened. “Baby, I’m so sorry. But listen, you have me. You always have me. And yeah, this Ronan guy sounds intense as hell. Hot, dangerous, probably loaded with red flags… but if there’s really some kind of ‘mate’ thing going on, even though I don’t think it exists,” Mira teased, trying to cheer her up, “maybe it’s worth figuring out what it means. You can’t keep running from it while it’s messing with your head.”

That was it, wasn’t it? Maya stared at her mate and watched as he stepped back into the bar. Tears filled her eyes, and pain slashed right through her chest. She couldn’t think. This had to be the most mortifying feeling in the world. “What happens if mates don’t ever want to be together? If they can’t stand each other?”It was a question she had asked her parents over dinner a few years ago. Both of them had laughed.“Oh, honey, that kind of thing doesn’t happen. Once you find your mate, you don’t ever want to leave them. All you want is to be with them. There is no denying the pull of your mate. It just isn’t possible.”

"Joe, you've already done more than enough for me. Now that the healing center's up and running, I'll figure things out on my own. "I'll be fine without your protection… and if I'm not, so what? At worst, I might get a little hate. It's not a big deal. Anna's the one who really matters. You should go to her!" Joe started to step forward but stopped himself. "It's fine. Now that everything's out in the open, there's no switching mates for the ceremony tomorrow. I'll talk to Anna later. Once things cool down, we'll break the mate bond."

Damon's POV The fact that I had let the woman go weighed heavily on me. True, I might not want her as a mate, but I realized that now that she was gone, there was absolutely no way for me to break the mate bond anymore. Maybe it was a good thing she was gone too.

Magnus asks as I gulp down the water. “It’s called a bonding link,” the woman sitting on the ground says. She’s wearing a short skirt and a band of dark cloth covering her breasts. Looking up at me, she has the same white eyes that our seer has. “You experienced a moment with your mate.” “They’re mates?” Bryndis asked. “No,” the seer shakes her head as she tore a leaf and dropped it into the water in front of her. “They share a mate. They have met her yet have not found her. Meeting her only through a link that none of them can control.”

"From my pack." Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Your pack?" he repeated. "You mean there are more of you?" I nodded. "Yes. I was...I was their mate. But they rejected me." Lucas frowned. "Rejected you?" he said, his voice softening. "What do you mean?" I looked away, unable to meet his gaze. "They...they didn't want me. I wasn't good enough for them." Lucas didn't say anything for a long moment, but I could feel his eyes on me. "I'm sorry," he said finally. "That must have been hard."

saying the last word in a taunting manner which makes Damien more angry. Both of them are chest to chest, glaring at each other, "She doesn't need you" Damien says through clenched jaw. "Oh really?, let her decide for herself" Matthew replies and both of their heads turns towards her for an answer. She panics inside not knowing what to do. Although Damien might be her so called mate, Matthew had been there for her every time she needed someone by her side. Besides, Damien lost any claim he had on her when he rejected him. She avoids Damien's gaze knowing that he was staring at her through those piercing grey eyes of his. A few moments passes like that in the same position, finally she lifts

She asked as I became silent. "I don't know why you keep on pushing it, but isn't it obvious that I'm no longer interested in you, obviously I have moved on, we no longer share a bond, so you can't call my relationship a fornication." She said. "I really don't care if you're married or not, though we rejected each other, but that doesn't change the fact that we are still mates." I said. "Rejected mates." She corrected. "Mates who have rejected each other can still form a bond." I argued.

And oh my fake dad’s name is Nathan, I probably should stick to calling him fake dad or just dad. “Mate is the person or someone you’re destined to be with for the rest of your life, regardless of who or what they’re, you’re destined to love and cherish each other till eternity.” Dad explained further. “I have a boyfriend and he’s not my mate, and I also can’t have a man who tried to kill you and make me always wanna pee in my pant as my mate.” They sighed simultaneously frowning their face. “We really don’t wanna tell you this.” “But there’s a thing called rejection.”

I rushed. “What's wrong? You look flustered,” he replied, eyes wide. “OK, here it goes. I've absolutely loved spending time with you and I wish that this could last forever… but I've met my mate, and I unfortunately have to end our romantic relationship. I really want to keep being friends, though.” The words came out in a tumbled mess and he seemed a bit hurt initially - but finding your mate while you were with someone else was actually more common than you'd like to think…
