Mystery Mate 2

Chapter 32: Not again.

Luke probably felt the tingling feeling too because he retreated his hand and stared at me with shock.

"Luke babe. What happened?" That seemed to snap him out of his thoughts when Shane's high pitched voice came to our ears.

"Uh... nothing I was just... nevermind." He looked at me before reaching for the door knob again and completely vanished from my sight.

My wolf was muttering something I cannot comprehend, but the feeling that seemed foreign to me made me stay on my place.

What was that? I asked myself a question I cannot understand myself.

Eight eyes automatically snapped at my direction as I entered the pack house.

Nathan, Rachel, John, Jake, Marinelle, Luke and surprisingly Shane.

Nathan sat beside his mate Rachel, both of them was staring at me.

Marinelle's eyes widened before it was filled with unshed tears.

She tackled me in a hug. "I hate you! I was so scared when Jake told me that you left! And you didn't even bother telling me you're alright!" she held me on my shoulders and wept.

I laughed.

My best friend is crying... I'm laughing.

She looked at me confused, then she frowned. "I hate you too." I simply said.

"Babe, she's already beaten down. Don't break her already wounded bones." Jake looked at his mate with admiration and worry.

Marinelle glared at him before dragging me to the couch where she sat.

Eric, who is beside me, held my hand and kissed the top of my head.

Oh yeah... we were pretending to be mates.

Luke coughed awkwardly. Shane rubbed his back in a seductive way.

"You alright babe?"

"Yeah." he mumbled, avoiding my gaze.

"You seemed to remember plenty of us Luke." If I'm wrong,there seemed to be a bit of annoyance and like he was pointing out something unseen. Eric glared at Luke

Luke frowned before giving him a sad smile.

"So...Shane." Marinelle pointed out to Luke. She was wondering why Shane is clinging to Luke, who seemed to be used to everything about her.

Eric squeezed my hand and I squeezed it back.

My eyes never left Luke, I observed every move he makes. He turned to Marinelle, it took him 5 seconds to answer.

"My heart felt familiar." he said, looking at Shane then back at me.

My heart stopped a) because he looked at me b) because my heart broke.

He was familiar with Shane. Shouldn't he be asking who they are, the same reaction he gave when he saw me.

Why does it seem like I was the only one forgotten?

Then realization hit me.

He was never serious with me before. He did everything out of pity. And those thought never hurt me more than now.

My wolf whimpered. Don't worry. I said to her, remember my promise? I told her.

Yes. She said sadly.

Cheer up! I won't let anyone hurt us again... two is too much. As I told her the last words, I stole a glance at Nathan, who was obviously sad and speechless and Luke, who's gaze traveled the whole room.

The two guys who took a part of my heart despite of my complaint are in front of me, holding another girl.

It's painful.

And it's more painful realizing I fell for such simple actions and words... twice.

But...

I'll make sure that I won't fall for it again.
