My Mate's Love

chapter two

Sadness, guilt, powerless

These is what I felt. I couldn't do anything for him. He looked great in the tuxedo he is wearing, I could feel his gaze,on me the whole time.

From when he entered the room till now. I wore the dress he chose for me. My family knew I had a mate but I'll never tell them who he is even if it's the last thing I do.

Alpha Wexford Walter,my assumed mate. My father always loved him  more than he loved his family. Maybe that's why he choose him to be my forceful mate.

I hated him with every cell and tissue in my being. I never knew what my dad saw in him and for that I would always hate him.

Now I had to lie to him that I don't love him. I have to tell him that I have someone else pup inside me.

I don't know if I can take all the pain. It hurts and only he can soothe my pain. I have to live with it because if I reject him I lose our pup.

I need to talk to you

I waited anxiously for the reply.

Where

Garden

I'm waiting

"I'll be right back" I told my so called mate.

"I'm coming with you"

"You better sit that ass down before I do something no one will like" I said through gritted teeth.

"You better be back before the announcement" he spat bitterly.

"Stop treating me like I'm a fucking child because I'm not" I answered him fearlessly.

"Fine"

Walking to meet him felt right but my reason was wrong. The  garden he and I only knew of. The garden where everything felt right.

That's when I felt it. His arms wrapped around my torso. Inhaling his scent was all I needed to know that I had to do it or else they'd kill him.

"I need to tell you something" I managed to speak at last.

"What is it?"he asked clueless of everything going on.

" I.....I "I gulped internally

"What is it,tell me Rena. You're scaring me" he asked

"Well,you see Marcus I'm.... I'm pregnant"

"What are you scared your father will find out" he asked

"No,no,no,it's not that it's just that the baby isn't....."

"Rena the baby isn't what" his tone changing from caring to what I've come to realize is choose your words carefully

"The baby isn't yours Marcus" the tears that I've been holding in spilling across both cheeks silently.

Don't make me say it again please I can't take it anymore' I silently prayed

"What.... what are you saying Rena"he asked clearly broken

" I'm pregnant with alpha Wexford's child"

"How many months"

Okay, that's not the question I thought he'd ask but......

"Two weeks" I answered wiping the tears that I had shed.

Then he did the one thing I thought he wouldn't do.

"I  Marcus Alexander Mangrove, alpha of dark rain pack reject you_"

"Stop" I said barely passing as a whisper.

"Why" he asked vehemently

"Because if you reject me the pup dies"

"And why shouldn't I " he asked mockingly

"Because even though you hate me right now you still care and you wouldn't dare leave me hurt"

"Fine,but as soon as  this baby is born I reject you got it"

"Yes

With that said he left and that was the last time I saw him.
