The Unloved Mate Novels & Stories

he continues, not looking at me, "Look, this is such a gorgeous place and you haven't even admired it once. I already sent pictures to the whole family, they're excited for us. Most of them have never left Akino at all, this is like a big deal for us. And you just can't enjoy it. Just like you never enjoyed anything when we were kids. You're too focused on the future." "It's impossible not to be, you'd understand if you had my fucking brain. I'd exchange it for your stupid one any day of the week," I let out, shaking my head, but I sit down again and I force myself to look at the sea. It's cool, I guess, "There's always some shit, what's there to enjoy? At first I had a boring fucking wife I

They were on the couch, the pain in her shoulder had died down after a few hours, but the other was still there. She was regretting that she had thrown the meds away. They would have numbed more than just her arm. Her eyes were swollen and red. She had been crying for a while, regretting her decision, she wanted him back, whether or not he wanted to trust her, she didn’t care anymore, he loved her and she loved him, the rest could all go to hell. She opened her eyes and looked at Maria.

she frowns. "The mate bond is complicated. It's hard to let go," Doty responds. "Are you two mates?" Mya asks, and suddenly, both Doty and Davon freeze, going pale. “No, his mate died,” Doty says quietly after a long time. I bring my hand to my mouth, shocked to learn that Davon had a mate. I always assumed they were fated because they have been close since childhood. “I’m sorry,” Mya and I say at the same time. The vibe has completely changed, now filled with gloom. Mya looks guilty.

So, she politely excused herself. Alpha Dane set up interviews for the patrols that found the individual that died as well as family members for that afternoon. Canon’s mate didn’t show up. Nor any of the patrol from her pack. Dane didn’t find it weird; he spent a week questioning them. Luna Marquee said, he interrogated them, not question them. He was cruel, even to Canon’s mate. Marquee was surprised she came to the funeral. Dane growled at her, that Canon’s mate wasn’t marked, and it had been two weeks since they found each other. That in its self was reason to interrogate her!

“How could it not be? You even just admitted it when you said being your mate was what makes me worth fighting for. Not the person I am; after all, you just met me, and you can’t be in love with me already. Infatuated maybe, but not in love.” He took a breath, and then a moment of pause before he said, “First of all, a mate is not a mere trophy, a mate is far more valuable than that. And before you get worked up, what I mean by that is a mate can offer things that are priceless and intangible. Things like unconditional and powerful love, trust, peace, a home, even children and a family. and those things are invaluable.

This explains why they were able to live away from each other without complaints. My heart ached for Amanda, imagining what she must have gone through, having a mate who doesn’t love her and hasn’t touched her for years. It pained me to know that after leaving me, I thought she was going to be happy with Matthew, that he would show her love and make her happy. But it seems I was wrong; Matthew never loved Amanda. He was just drawn to her by the mate bond.

That this mateship and love doesn’t have to hurt. Love, well that’s a loaded word to use so soon, but that’s what mate bonds do. Most of the time mate bonds encourage love and falling in love. It didn’t work that way with Matteo and his first mate. To be honest Matteo got screwed with his first mate. Cheryl was in love with someone else and was never going to love Matteo. I do feel bad for him in that aspect. I used to think I was cursed for being a second chance mate, but maybe I’m not.

"My mate is not going to be dumb." "Details, shmetails," shrugged Carter. He leaned back on the wall opposite to her, with a smirk on his lips. "You might believe that your mate will be a knight in shining armor, Darling. But I need to warn you that sometimes mates are not exactly the same as in your dreams, they can be quite cruel and ruthless. Greedy and selfish for the sake of protecting their peace. Maybe they will let go of you, abandon you, leaving you alone forever. While you wait for them to give a bit of their sympathy to you, they could ignore you and go out to play. Their essence might be engraved in your bones, but the same isn't necessarily true for them."

What he was proposing, on the other hand, was a business deal. It brought to go horribly wrong.. Could I honestly enter into such a mating after I had been burned? Then, I was shoved aside once my usefulness had ended.. The familiar pain that has a grip on my heart emerges. I stamp it down. Refusing to give it reign. It only serves as a reminder of how broken I am..

Or maybe he downright despised her, so he couldn’t love her despite them being fated mates. "How long are you gonna take this, Emily?" Scarlett shot her a pitying look, like she was a lost cause: a sorry excuse for a wife and Luna, unloved and unwanted. "You heard him loud and clear. He's never gonna love you, no matter what you do." Emily gritted her teeth and clenched her fist. "So what?" She refused to back down. "That doesn't change the fact that we're still mates, and I'm his Luna."
