The Broken Mate

Chapter 2

Someone switched of the music, and I was now the center of attention. The first thing they offered me was laughter, as they pointed at the bunch of flowers I had in my hand.

"Hey, don't call Torian your boyfriend not to talk of mate! He finally got to fvck you. There was nothing else he needed from you. Don't think he has loved you all this while? Even if you are his mate, he will reject you." Someone jeered from behind me, and everyone burst into a scornful laugh, except Jace.

"He has dumped you for the Beta's daughter." Another voice chipped in, and my heart sank into my belly as fear engulfed me.

My legs melted under me, with tears stinging my eyes. I was so embarrassed and pained to look up at them.

It can't be true, right? They must be lying.

First was Torian's sudden birthday party which I knew nothing about. The second was the strange expression on Jace's face, all because I called Torian my mate, as if he were surprised and sorry for my ignorance.

I don't just get it!

"You should tell her the truth and stop hiding it when she will still find out. I really can't believe the young girl got high hopes for Torian, gosh! " I heard another voice scoff at me.

"He is in his room!...Off you go, wish him a happy birthday, but keep that flower aside, or he will throw it in your face! " A lady said from behind with a mockery laugh and smack on my head.

I never cared to check on who it was or why she hit my head. I can't bear seeing those mockery looks again. I can't bear the berating worde and how they treat me like a fool.

"Lola, don't mind..." Jace made to hold me back, but I quickly push him off me and sped away.

With a crazy run, I dashed off, climbing the stairs, heading straight to Torian's room. I had to find him and hear the truth from him. Those taunting comments from his sick and annoying friends can't be true, as much as it were still resounding in my head, and doing damn well in leaving me broken.

The fact that Torian was having a birthday party without telling me was making their words sound true to me.

Could it be that-

Oh, no! Lola, it can't be!!

I sniffed back my tears, praying it was all a lie. I can't bear to have all that as the truth which would shatter my heart into tiny shreds. I could feel my wolf tremble in fear too.

Oh, God.

I finally got to the door of his room and, seriously, I found it hard to push it open as I had always done. I rarely knock. I can't remember the last time I knocked before entering his room. But now, I've got no power to open the door.

My gaze lowered to the flower in my hand, making me recall what those friends of Torian had said about it. Oh, shit... It was so hurtful that tears cascaded down my cheeks.

I started to tap on the door, but paused the moment I heard some strange voice. I couldn't wait any longer and pushed the door wide open.

My eyes popped out in shock as I stared at the scene happening right in front of me.

I froze. My heart stopped right in my chest as my breath hitched in my throat. My mouth gaped.

His hands were wrapped around her slender waist and hers went around his neck with one of her hands tugging at his hair as their mouths worked on each other in a passionate kiss.

Not even an inch of space was left between them, and that made tears stream down my cheeks with their moans and groans piercing my heart like a million stabs of knives, shattering it into countless pieces.
