C2 I know you're my real mate

When Ezra’s mate came, I wanted to make her miserable. I wanted to hurt her any way that I could, but the Moon Goddess was too soft and would not let me do anything to her.

She had told me to go live my life, find my own mate. So I was now leaving this pack to go live in another. It didn’t make me happy though.

As I walked to the car, I felt Ezra’s gaze on me.

“Thank you for being here for me. For being my mate all this time.” He said slowly, his golden eyes staring at me with something akin to love.

I bit my lip, shaking my head.

“You deserve someone like your mate.” I whispered, ignoring the pang of jealousy in my chest. “Someone that loves you for who you are.”

I looked away from him, stepping back. “I have to go. Goodbye.”

I didn’t look back at him as I walked to my car, getting in and starting the engine. As I drove away from this pack, I had a feeling I would never be back.

I heard my wolf growl as I looked back at the pack in the rearview mirror. I felt sadness, her grief over the fact that we weren’t going to see the alpha anymore.

He was her mate, her partner, and she loved him. She had loved him for a very long time, but she knew that his heart wasn’t meant for us.

I couldn’t blame her though because she had been right about my mate being a wicked devil. I should have listened to her and left sooner. But, I couldn’t change that. All I could do now was drive away.

I wasn’t sure where I was going, but I was sure that I would find my mate.

I knew that I had one, and if I could just find him then I would be able to heal the pain my heart was feeling. I hoped that one day he would come back to me, but until then I had to move on. My wolf needed to move on.

I sniffled, letting her take the wheel as I let my tears fall.

I paced in front of the alpha's hut, feeling anxious and nervous. This was the first time I had been to this pack since my mate had been claimed by that nasty bitch.

She was a wretched creature, one that didn't deserve his love and devotion. He should have let her die, but instead he had taken care of her. He had loved her.

The thought of his hands on her body made me feel sick to my stomach. I wasn't sure how I was going to get over this.

"Ezra?"

I whirled around, growling as he strode towards me. "What are you doing here?" I snarled. "I didn't invite you to come near me."

"I have never let you push me away before." He said, crossing his arms as he looked at me with a hard gaze. "And I won't let you now."

"You never pushed me away?" I gasped. "Are you kidding me? You've pushed me away your whole life and now you're going to act like you care?" I laughed, shaking my head. "You're not fooling me."

He snarled and stalked towards me, grabbing me and pulling me close. I struggled in his arms, but his grip on me was iron tight.

He stared down at me with a smoldering look, his gold eyes narrowing as he leaned down. His mouth met mine with a growl, his tongue parting my lips.

I shoved him away from me, taking a step back. "Stop." I said, my voice cold.

"You still want me." He whispered, turning his head to the side as he looked at me.

I smiled, rolling my eyes. "No. I hate you. You ruined my life."

He frowned, and then turned his head back. "What?"

"Because of you I have no one. I have nothing." I whispered, my eyes tearing up.

He growled at my words, his eyes beginning to flash as he grabbed my arm.

"You're going to pay for saying that."

"No." I yelped, pulling away. "I don't want to be near you, Ezra. I don't ever want to see you again."

He narrowed his eyes at me, but then let out a snarl. He turned and ran, disappearing into the forest. I felt pain in my chest as I stared at the place he had been.

I loved him, but he didn't love me. So now all I could do was get over him.

I turned and walked back to my hut, shutting the door behind me and crawling into bed. I pulled the blankets over my head, letting my tears fall as I buried my face into the pillow.

It had been two weeks since my mate and I had bonded. I had given him an ultimatum that day, telling him that he could either be with me or go back to his ex-fiancee.

He had chosen me though, and I was happy about that. I knew he was my true partner, but now he had to prove it to me.

He still had feelings for her though. She was still in our pack, and she didn't seem to want to move on with her life.

She still had feelings for Ezra, but now she was trying to be with other men. I saw her with them every day, and I knew she was trying to get back at me.

It had worked too because my heart still hurt every time I saw her, every time I looked at her with Ezra. She still loved him. I knew that now, and it wasn't fair that he was my partner now when she had always been in his life.

"Ezra!" I heard her shout. "Come see this!"

I heard his footsteps, and then looked up to see him striding down the hall and into our bedroom.

"What?" He snarled. "Can't you see I'm busy? I don't have time for you."

He added, glancing at me.
