Torn

Chapter Thirty-One

This is a Memory!! Just so you know.

“I see my future in your eyes. When I get my mate, I'll dump her right away for you because I'll know that while she's the mate fate chose for me, you will be the one that I chose. The one that I want to love. Give yourself to me. You're the only one I want. My one and only...” I whispered to the blonde knockout in front of me. I'd been working on her for a whole week. Being beautiful made her wary of guys like me and I made sure to put on my best performance.

The bonfire made her hair glow and her blue eyes sparkle. She sat, entranced by my finishing words. I knew she was ready to give in.

We were on a meet and greet that our pack hosted to get to know other packs. It was a huge event that lasted days and this chick would be leaving late tomorrow. It suited me just fine. There was only one girl for me and this blond didn't hold a candle to her. Still, I was teenage guy. Frustrated and getting nowhere with the girl I loved. What do you expect?

The blonde stood up, pulling me gently to the hotel where she was staying. I grinned on the inside. Success.

“Mason?! Is that you? You bastard! You got me pregnant! You never called! Why didn't you call?! You promised me everything! You promised me eternity!” Lottie's voice came from down the block. I was worried the shrieking would alert everyone that we were leaving without the Alpha's permission. That was the least of my problems though.

The blonde narrowed her eyes and shot me a glare that could kill just as Lottie came into view. I groaned.

Lottie had gone all out. She stuffed a pillow up her shirt and was waddling about as if she were actually pregnant.

“Lottie what are you doing? You're ruining everything!” I whispered harshly to her. I had grabbed her and kept her by my side but she was shooting daggers at the blonde and I knew she was about to undo a week's worth of work.

“Do you know who this guy is? He's a serial shagger! He promised to reject his mate for me and I slept with him. Look what happened! When I came to him, he denied my baby! My baby that was supposed to have a warm childhood with two parents!” she pointed at me “I met him at the annual bonfire and I looked for him at the next one. I saw him with another woman and lookie here. He's got yet another victim! My true mate rejected me because of this!” she grabbed the blonde's hands “Don't make the same mistake. Run away before he can ruin your life too” the blonde thanked her and walked away after shooting more looks that should've, by all laws and right, put me six feet under.

As soon as she was out of hearing range, Lottie burst out laughing.

“That's not funny! I worked really hard to get her and I almost had her! I ought to get that pillow from under your shirt and beat you with it” I said darkly. She kept laughing

“Oh Mason, did you see those looks she was throwing at you? Classic!” she said, wiping a tear of mirth from her eye. That's it. I took the pillow from under her shirt, completely refusing to look at the wonderful view it had to offer inside and beat her with it. She ran, still laughing, which made her slow. I caught up with her pretty quick. I tackled her and beat her more with the pillow. She was grinning up at me, taking her punishment without a blink.

“You ruined a sure thing” I told her, panting from the run.

“Yup. Too bad”

“You suck” I pouted a little. She laughed.

“Because I didn't let you have yet another one night stand with an innocent girl? Boo hoo. Poor Mason didn't get laid” she was reduced to giggles.
