A Werewolf's Mate

One Problem after Another

Having walked out for the second time, Jem stepped out of the house to try and block Ella's sobs from his ears. He felt so depressed, angry and sad for failing to make her stop crying.

"Why are you still here?" He asked when he found the Ella that fooled him, and the one responsible for Ella running away from him, standing outside the door. All he wanted then was to punch and maybe kill her but then, Ella would not want that and she still had Ella's appearance.

"I'm.. I'm so sorry Jem. I--" She was cut when Jem slammed her against a tree and had his grip on her neck.

"Don't you ever call my name. Who are you?" He growled, giving her a hint that one more lie and she's toast.

"Le-- *cough* Let me-- go!" she whispered and continuously tapped Jem's hand. Jem loosened his hold a bit but didn't let the impostor out of his grasps.

"Speak!" He commanded using his Alpha power. The woman jolted and bowed her head in submission with a slight whimper. This shocked Jem and wondered if she was a pack member for her to submit to him.

"I-I'm re-really sorry Je-- I mean Alpha. I... I just had to do this." she spoke and once again connected their lips as she forced herself on Jem.

However, it only infuriated and disgusted Jem more as he ripped the woman off of him and pushed her away too strong she fell to the ground.

"Why did you do that?!" Jem screamed and wiped his lips vigorously, hoping the feeling of her lips on his would go away.

"Why? It worked last time?" she whispered to herself and looked down. "This was not supposed to happen!! You were supposed to make love to me and forget HER completely! You were supposed to fall in love with me! You were supposed to be MINE!!" she screamed.

"Who are you? Tell me your name woman!! Show me your real self!!" I commanded her.

"No.. You are mine. From when I was still a child, I always wanted you. I watched you from afar because I was still a nobody.. but I changed! I changed for you!" She stated and clung unto Jem.

"But then.. She came into the picture. You drifted farther away from me and I hated her since then. But then I saw Brent! He took me to this man and he told me he was gonna help me make you see that you really belonged to me and not her! Please Jem! Please tell me that it is I whom you really love and not the outsider!" she desperately pleaded to Jem and cried.

"I do not know who you are but listen here. It is not my fault that you wasted your lifetime wishing there was an 'Us' but I'm sorry, blame it to the goddess of destiny because you so happened to be someone who is not my mate." Jem said and took the grip of the woman off of him as she slowly slid down to the ground while she sobbed.

"This was not supposed to happen.." she kept on murmuring. "For what reason did I have to abandon myself as Criselda?"

"Cri..selda? You are Criselda?" Jem spoke, utterly shocked, and watched her image as Ella slowly melt away. "Wha.. How..? Why..?"

"I met Brent, Alpha. He knew I was in love with you and so took me to a man he knew that was gonna help me get you. He told me that I needed to pose as the Luna to get closer and wait for you to make a move on me so I can be with you forever.

"He casted a spell on me and told me it was to activate on the day you have your own heat, when your desire for your mate skyrockets. One night, I suddenly changed into the Luna and I knew the spell was already active so I went to your place. When you opened the door and found me, you immediately encased me in your arms and you would not start to imagine how it made me happy. To finally blind you to the truth, I kissed you.
