The Teased Mate (𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 #1)

Chapter Thirty-Nine

All of my stuff is all packed up in my car, so I can go. I have a doctor's appointment today and then, I am going to attempt to say goodbye to everyone.

I need to force myself to get over my mate. I can't wait for him to be there for me.
I can't push myself to believe in something that doesn't even seem real.

I need some comfort food, yeah, that is exactly what I need right now. I throw my sheets off me and sneak out of my bed trying not to wake my little brother along the way.

I quickly get dressed throwing on a hoodie that was too big, it now fits just right.

My heart aches just thinking about him, his smile. 'Stop it, you can't do this to yourself!' My wolf yells at me.

What am I supposed to do? I ask my wolf for guidance, she has been there the whole time, just letting me do all these things. I know it is not her fault, but it is because of her I am connected to him.

My wolf and I have had a rocky relationship, but she is there when I need her.

'Raise your child. That is what you need to do, love the baby, take care of our baby. It is your responsibility to keep, that life safe.'

I already know this, but honestly, I needed to hear those words. I love my baby with all my heart. This baby is mine and I am not letting the dickhead Alpha touch it.

He destroys good things, corrupts absolutely pure things without a solid reason. I can't let him do that to a defenseless baby. It is not going to be defenseless, not with me around.
I get into my mustang, I turn her on and hit reverse. I pull out of the driveway with only one thing on my mind; food.
I know this small Coney that has amazing breakfast specials, that literally gives me life!

Oh my gosh, my cravings are odd, I want scrambled eggs with feta, green pepper and cheese, and some sausage, wait- no some bacon. I am so indecisive about everything. Maybe, I should order both. Pulling into the drive-thru I can smell all the wonderful smells. One scent is someone I wish, I could never smell. The new Alpha, I can tell his father has just given him this role because, when we were together he was alpha in training. Wait, did he reject me just to get the Alpha position, I thought you had to be with your mate to have that opportunity. I pull in, I am not afraid to go in there and face him. I am just going to put on a happy face and just deal with it for now.

I park the car and then get out. I walk in and sit at the countertop on a rather large stool. My feet dangle, hovering over the blue-tiled floor. A waiter comes over with a smirk, he has a rather nice scent and is human. What he doesn't know is that he is working for and serving our kind.

Humans are easy, but unless they are our mates then we can't tell them of our own kind.

"Hello, welcome to Berts Coney island, we have everything from crispy toast to the most delicious pot roast." He hands me a large menu.
"What would you like to drink?"
"I would like a glass of ice tea, no ice." He writes it down and walks away in a hurry. I can sense someone's eyes on me and I know who it is.

Anthony.

I do not even turn around to look at him. I try to focus on the menu in front of me, but I am having one hell of a hard time doing so. Ugh, men are so annoying why is he even here, oh yeah he knows where I go when I need some alone time. Here.
So he is here for a reason, but why?
I pick everything that I want.
Some yogurt and granola and a side of sausage and bacon.

The waiter comes back over with my tea.
"So are you ready to order now?" I nod and say yes.
"Yogurt with granola a side of bacon and a side of sausage." I smile as I take a sip of the cool tea.

The waiter walks away and right there on the bench next to me is my ex-mate. Oh my lord, it is so weird saying that about him. I always thought forever meant something to him but that was a load of crap.
He doesn't say anything so there is just this awkward silence that just washes over us in one this ass cloud.

I start feeling uncomfortable and at this point, I am ready to take my order to go because I can't face him when he is not willing to talk. I am not even willing to converse with him. I grab out money to pay and I hear him grown and then slowly growl.

I jump a bit but ignore him.

"Don't." Is the only thing he says before I get my money out to pay.
Why in the Sam heck should I have to listen to him, he made me reject him? That is something I should regret, it is never something to be proud of. He gets up and wraps his arms around me.

"I had to let you go for a reason, take care of our daughter, please." Our what now? I push his hands off of me in a instant.

I turn around and then I see it, fear is set in his eyes. Pain dances where happiness once laid. I almost tear up at how broken he looks.

"You need to get away, they can't know I have ties to you, they will try to hurt you." What does he mean by they will hurt me?

"Who is they?" I am fearful of the answer. His eyes soften a little bit more and I try not to melt.

"My dad pissed off a few packs war is coming, rogues are coming." My eyes widen in panic, as I get my food.

Rouges are known for taking pregnant women for their children, so they can get bigger numbers. Pregnant makes me vulnerable to him, I can not shift or fight so I bring him more dangerous possibilities.

"I can get help. Ariana has a pack and I can get them to help." He frowns.
"No, you go and be safe." He kisses my temple and walks away before I can stop him.

My food sits, cold now. I pick at it realizing he made me reject him to protect the baby.

A girl?

How did he find out?
Maybe a pack elder told him.
