My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 26

"N-Nova, what are you doing here?" Elias stammered, pushing the girl off his lap gently much to her This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

dismay. She wasn't even ugly. She had long, shiny brown hair and sun-kissed skin. Her eyes were a

very green hazel. She was tall and skinny and beautiful with legs to die for...

And then there was me.

I felt hurt and betrayed.

"I'm learning what mates are like. Isn't it just fascinating," I said sarcastically before turning on my

heels.

"Nova, wait!" he said. Against myself, I stopped. I felt the tears welling up, but I held them back.

"Kendra please," Elias muttered to the girl. That felt like twisting the knife. He chose her, not me.

"No, allow me. I wouldn't want to interrupt anything. My apologies Alpha, I'll remember to knock next

time," I said bitterly. I ran out of the office and outside. I don't know where I was going but I needed to

get away. I'd had enough of this. I was sore and tired. It literally felt like I'd just been dragged through

hell, only to come back to this. I pushed myself to run faster as I let my tears go. I cried as I pushed

myself further away from the house.

"Nova," Elias said as he grabbed my arm. I looked at him as my tears fell.

"What more do you want from me?! Just leave me alone," I cried. It was quiet for a moment. I used the

opportunity to pull my arm out of his grip.

"I can't leave you alone; you're my mate," he said as if it were just that simple. I huffed a breath with a

sarcastic smile before I rolled my eyes.

"Is that what we are? I couldn't tell from all the lying, threats, and cheating. So why don't you just let me

go then since I'm clearly not needed or wanted here," I said quietly. I had hoped that maybe I was

jumping to conclusion. I sighed and calmed down briefly. "What did you do when I was gone?" I asked

softly. Elias didn't answer right away which was as good as him telling me. I held up a hand,

immediately stopping him. "And spare me the lies," I added.

"You went into heat, which essentially puts me into something similar. In order to keep from hunting you

down and finishing the mating process, I... I had Kendra keep me... preoccupied," he tried to explain

delicately, but I got the picture. He had sex with her pretty much the entire two weeks I was gone. That

hurt worse than seeing her in his lap. I squeezed my eyes shut as the tears started falling on their own

accord. Elias grabbed my hand again. I quickly yanked my hand away.

"Just stop! Get the fuck away from me! Or better yet, just reject me. That'll probably be less painful than

what you've already done. I don't want to see you. While I was practically burning alive, you were

having sex with Kendra! Now, I may not know much about werewolves or mates, but even I know that

you betrayed me," I said bitterly.

"I'm not rejecting you," he said sternly. I grunted and threw my hands in the air in frustration.
