Chapter 24:Shocked

Mabel

It has been days now since I have been sending letters to Jerome. I was now worried about him, hoping and praying that nothing would happen to him. I pray for him to be safe and sound. I was praying on a daily basis, but what I always got was the bird returning without the letter. I thought that he must have seen my messages and might not be in a place to reply, but then I remembered how hot-tempered his friend was.

I knew that if anything is wrong then it has to be the handiwork of his mate. I knew that his roommate hated him, and I wish I could do something about it, but I couldn't. I have always been scared my whole life, but Jerome coming into my life has made things change. I knew for a fact that no matter what happened, he would always be mine, but nowadays I was starting to doubt that he would be mine someday. I thought that having a fiancé and being engaged should have helped calm my mind, but it didn't.

I feel the need to see him, but I knew that there was no way that would happen. The last time I wrote to him about him being thrown into the cold room, his reply was that he didn't want me to get worried about him. I feel emotional knowing that he still cares about me, even though we are far from each other. I had the confidence that our love would make him survive. He told me that he had been treated by his friend, who had saved him from the cold room.

I was confused because I didn't know what she was up to. I had thought that she would reject him just like she had promised, but what I wasn't expecting was that he would be taken to her pack forcefully by her mate.

I was sitting on my bed, awake in my thoughts, with fear etched on my face. I was praying that he would survive wherever he was. I knew that his having survived the cold room was a miracle and that he was strong. I knew he was strong enough to withstand anything that was thrown at him by his mate. I had faith in our love, and I knew that our love would conquer those who wanted to destroy us. I was still lost in thoughts when I heard the door of my room open with such force. I turned to look in the direction of the person, and it turned out to be Sandra, my best friend.

"Mabel, you are still here?" I heard Sandra's voice jolt me out of my thoughts.

I stared at her confusedly, not knowing what to do or say. I stared at her with confusion written in my eyes. She rolled her eyes, and she clicked her tongue impatiently.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked, and she sighed heavily while shaking her head with disgust. I couldn't understand who she had directed the disgusting face at, and with that, I looked around with a worried expression on my face. I knew whatever had made her like this would do more to me. I knew that whatever I was about to hear would be like a huge bomb to me.

"I told you that you shouldn't trust Jerome; he is nothing but a liar." she was saying, but I used my hand to grab her mouth immediately with anger in my eyes.

"How do you say a thing like that, hun?" "Jerome isn't like other men outside," I said, and she rolled her eyes before removing my hands from her mouth.

"Haven't you heard about the rumours going around that your fiance had fallen in love with his mate and not only that they were planning on marking and mating themselves soon?" she asked, and I felt my head become foggy all of a sudden.

I knew that there was no way he would fall for his mate after all she had done to him. I have faith in him that he can never cheat on me.

"Stop saying such things; they are just mere rumours about them." There is no way he would want to accept her. He can't love someone who has hurt him. He won't ever allow something like this to happen. "He is faithful and would always be; he can't fall in love with her because she is nothing but a real devil," I said hastily, finding it hard to believe what she had just said.

I knew that whatever she was saying might be right because his mate didn't reject him and their mate bond might have made that possible, but I'm not ready to admit that. I'm not ready to admit that my fiance might have fallen in love with him. My mind was in a disarray, and all I could think of was the both of them together, and as I kept on thinking about it, an image of the both of them together holding hands popped up in my head. I knew that if I didn't stop thinking about it, I might break down.

"I can't believe that you are saying this. Don't you know what he will become if he gets mated to her? He will be an alpha, of course, and why would he want to lose that golden opportunity because of you? I knew that if you were in his shoes, you wouldn't hesitate to accept him. "This is power we are talking about; you think love can conquer his test of greed? That can happen because he is long gone," Sandra said with a dramatic pause while placing her hand on her waist dramatically.

The atmosphere in the room isn't something to write home about, and that's because all my emotions were channeled into my auras. I knew that what he had just said was right, and that made things hard for me. There is a chance he would see something like that and reject it. I knew that if it happened to be me, I would accept her.

I knew that there was nothing people could do about greed. I knew that what Sandra was saying was right, and I'm ready to do something about it, but first I need to know if it's true. I knew that he would tell the truth about this situation because he wouldn't want to be in the middle of both of us.

"I would advise you to move on with your life," Sandra concluded after staring at me with a sad smile on her face.

You don't have to worry about that. "I need to confirm if this is true from him, and then I'll know what to do next," I said, and she rolled her eyes.

"I pray something bad won't happen to you after hearing it from him yourself," Sandra said, and I looked at her with a glare on my face, which made her avert her eyes. I knew that all she wanted for me was the best, but she couldn't control my life like it was her own.

I took out the ink and a blank sheet of paper. I wrote to him: "Jerome, are all the rumours true?" If it's true, how can you do this to me? You have promised me a lot of things, but you went ahead and broke them. I have always been faithful to you, but what do you do? You backstab me. How can you fall in love with someone who you have always hated—someone who took you away from me forcefully? You fell in love with someone who doesn't care about you; you fell in love with the person who had you thrown in the cold room. The person who doesn't care if you live or die I knew that this was your reason for not replying to my letters. You should reply to this one before I come to the pack and get myself killed by your mate.

Tears were dripping down my face as I wrote the letter. I knew he had fallen in love with Erica, and that was because every rumour that I have been hearing from Erica's pack is always true. The last time I heard a rumour, it was about him being tortured in the cold room, and when I heard that, I asked him, and he told me the truth. He doesn't want me to be aware of that, and I knew this must also be the case now. I knew that he didn't want me to know about it. He had forgotten about all this.

I knew that I would be a laughingstock in the pack because everyone would want to show their concern about me. I knew I would be the leader of the pack. I won't be able to move freely for a while in the pack. I knew that I would have restricted movement, and I don't want that. I knew that all the pack members were already aware of this. I knew that there was no way I could avoid this.

I sent the letter to him through the bird, and I sat on the bed waiting patiently for his reply. I knew that he would reply soon because of my last statement. I saw the bird fly in through the window, and I walked up to it. I removed the letter from its leg, and as I read through the letter, I felt my legs become weak. I couldn't help but let the tears I have been holding in me since morning fall. I feel my head pounding heavily. First it was my mate who rejected me, and now my fiance, whom I had thought we would grow old together, has left me for his mate.
