The Teased Mate (𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 #1)

Chapter Thirty-Five

I pull up in the driveway to his work.

I can smell him, he has literally ignored me, for these past few weeks and I am sick of it!

I am very close to cutting off our mate bond and running away. If he does one more thing wrong, then I am taking my packed bags and going to another territory. Ariana might let me come to them, if not, then I am going to go into no one's territory and will live the best single mom life, I can. I am not going to be with someone who puts everything else before me. Goddammit and the baby! If he doesn't care then goodbye mate hello high mileage. I will be out quicker then you can say his name.

My car is even all packed up. I know this may sound extreme, but I honestly don't need anyone. I have said this since the beginning, but my dumb ass fell for him.

Not only did I fall for him, I actually am carrying our child. Like I have a whole ass human-werewolf inside me. Even though it wasn't planned, I am still doing all this work in our relationship. You know what, adulting really sucks!

I get out of the car and walk into our house.
The air is cold, I can feel the tension in the room. It's as thick as ice.

"So, you wanted to see me?" He asks. I almost didn't recognize him as I turn the corner and he speaks. A shiver runs down my spine as I muster up the courage to face him.

"Of course I want to see the man I love." I scoff walking towards him as he walks away from me a little. Is he running from me? He looks so tired and not himself. Who did this to him?

"Babe are you okay?" He winces a little as I ask him that. His eyes shut and open again and the coldness in the room hits me at full force.

"I'm. Fine." He says biting his lip, oh my lord I miss those lips.

"How's the baby?" He asks clearly not caring about my well-being, only the baby inside me. I can feel the tears rise as I try to keep them at bay.

"I don't know at the moment." He looks furious his eyes now almost coal black. I miss when his eyes were tender and loving.

"How can you not know?" He growls the growl is so deep it scares me. I begin to shake a little in fear. Fear of crying in front of him.

"T-the doctor's appointment is tomorrow." I stop myself from shaking my wolf is angry at her mate. I can't say I blame her, I am furious too.

"I heard you skipped a few." He says, almost a little calmer.

"Yes, I did. I was tired of sitting at the clinic waiting on you to show, or the girls there trying to relate to me because their child is fatherless." I can see he is hurting once I say that, but he hides it again.

"So, you put yourself before the baby?" I shake my head no, now crying. Why would he think I would do that? I couldn't do that, I would never.

"Says the guy who ignores me, avoids me and basically has abandoned me carrying his pup!" I yell, but my voice cracks due to me silently sobbing. He doesn't try to comfort me, he keeps his distance.

"I work, I have a pack to run. I don't have time to be by your side every second. I miss it when you weren't as clingy." Now the tears are really falling. My heart clenches at his words. So cold and lifeless. When did he become the monster?

"You should have thought of that before letting me fall for you. Before you got me pregnant. I knew it, you could never love little Dianna. You only tolerated me because we were assigned to one another. Why tell me you love me? Why act excited? And why the hell mark me?" I yell at him. I want to throw something at his dumb face.

"I am part human, I do make mistakes." He says that and then leaves me in the dust of his cruel words.

My baby is not a mistake, I am not a mistake. The biggest mistake, I have ever done was choosing to be with him. I should have followed my gut, not my heart. All my heart ever did was lead me to him; heartbreak.

Everything aches, my face burns from the tears. My nose is running and I feel like a shell.

I lay on the couch and continue to cry. I can't stop.
When it does stop, I begin to hiccup. I have to be strong, for my baby.
I get up off the couch and get into the shower. Flashes of things we have done in here play at the back of my mind until I cut them off.
I look at my small bump and say.

"You are not a mistake, I love you." I let the water run all over me, as I wash my hair and body.

I get out and grab my robe. I then begin packing my things. I grab one of his shirts I know he won't miss.
I grab my credit card and emergency cash. I pack them into my car and drive home.

The car is all I have left from my dad. I begin to talk to him.

"The moon goddess made a mistake. I thought it was going to turn into the best decisions of my life. First, the world takes you, now I lose my mate. He never loved me, he could never love me. But dad I am strong, I can do this on my own." I pull up to my mom's driveway. They are all most likely in their beds dreaming of a better life. Not expecting me to knock on their door. My heart breaks a little as I knock on the door.

I can hear footsteps, the door opens and I see my mom and cry the tears sting my eyes as I fall apart.

"Honey, what happened?" She asks pulling me into a hug.

How can I explain this to her? I don't even know what really happened...
