His Mate, His Girlfriend

Chapter 7. Hostility

Ellis

I was losing my mind. I felt like I couldn't breathe. I was in Love's room, and all her clothes were gone. When she wasn't answering my phone, I thought she was avoiding me, so I gave her space. I didn't know she had left my pack. She left me without as much as a note. I collapsed against the floor as reality hit me. The love of my life was gone.

I picked myself up and called the airline. She didn't use one of our planes to leave.

I went downstairs. Lilac was there sitting alone next to Love's piano.

" Why didn't you say she left?" I snarled at her. I could have stopped her. She didn't even look up to me.

" Did she say where she was going?" I asked urgently. She lifted her gaze to me and glared at me coldly. She ignored me, and I growled, making her whimper in fear. I was her alpha, and I could command her to talk.

" Talk now," I used my alpha tone on her, something I don't normally do, but I didn't have patience. She looked conflicted about answering me but she did.

" S- She left because of you. You hurt her," she cried.

" Lilac, I know what I fucking did. Where did she say she was going?" My voice was hostile. I was releasing my alpha aura carelessly.

" She didn't tell me. Love was afraid you'd alpha command me, Alpha," she spat the words, getting off the floor. She moved past me but stopped in her tracks.

" I hope you and your lover will be happy now. My best friend made the choice you couldn't," her words were acidic. I'd never seen her this angry. Lilac was always cheerful.

" I'm sorry," My voice was feeble. My vision was blurring.

" I messed up, I fucking messed up with her," I was ranting now, repeating the words over again. I could hear myself through my ears.

I left the apartment, determined to look for her.

Two hours later, I was on a plane heading to The Golden Stone Lycan Pack. My beta, Jace, insisted on going with me. They wouldn't be too hostile towards him because it was his birth pack.

He sat in front of me, eyeing and judging me. He told me to reject Charlotte the first night, but I didn't. Our mate bond was too strong for me, and she somehow got me to sleep with him. I was confused when it happened.

We arrived at the Golden Stone Pack, but we were asked to go back. We weren't welcome here. No alpha was at the time. That's all the guards said.

' She was here, Love was here,' Lias said.

" I'm not leaving until I see my girlfriend," I told the guards. They knew of my relationship with Love, most in the pack did.

Jace was making calls to his parents and everyone he knew, but it was like they were under a command not to release any information about Love.

" Bro, even my parents couldn't tell me," Jace sighed in exasperation.

" I'm not leaving," I said, determined.

We were standing by our car, just near the airport. Two huge Lycans emerged. They exuded confidence and an alpha aura, yet I could tell it wasn't Alpha Edward.

The two lycans shifted to humans, and I recognized them as Alpha Marcus and Garret. They wore their pants and glared at me as though I had massacred their family.

" Look who we have here," Marcus snickered. Jace glanced at me and stepped forward, extending his hand and trying to de-escalate whatever confrontation was about to happen.

" Get out of this pack, kid. You're not welcome after what you did to our niece," Garret growled.

I looked him in the eye and said, " I'm not leaving until I speak with her," I was firm. They couldn't intimidate me. I was an alpha, a powerful alpha to a great pack in my rite. Marcus was about to lunge at me, and I readied myself for the attack. However, a melodic voice stopped him.

" Marcus, enough. Why must it be so violent when you're involved," Marcus rolled his eyes.

I turned my attention to Luna Caliana. She smiled and hugged me gently.

I've known Caliana since I was a young boy. She stayed in my pack for a few months as she hid from her mate for many years, so we developed a special bond. My father cared deeply for her and was disappointed when she got back with her mate.

" Cali," I exhaled.

She pulled back from me and caressed my face.

" You look terrible. When last did you sleep?" She asked in a motherly tone. I hadn't been able to sleep in days.

" Love, I- I want to speak with her. I didn't mean to hurt her," I stated desperately. She looked back at the men behind her, and they fell back. She sighed and took me to the closest café there was. We sat down after ordering our drinks, and she held my hand. Her gentle gaze caught me off guard, and my eyes filled up,

" Ellis," she called my name gently, and something wet connected to my cheeks.

" Love was hurt, and as she's supposed to be. You hurt my baby. I'm not blaming you or anything, but please, give her time to heal as she wishes,"

I tried opening my mouth several times, but I was speechless.

" Be understanding of her. I, for one, believe when you have cleared your head and know fully-"

" I want her. There shouldn't even have been a choice to begin with. She's everything to me," I interrupted her, choking on my words, barely recognizing the sound of my voice.

" Love left the pack and went away," She informed me. Lias whimpered.

" Fate will bring you together, but if not, your love wasn't meant to be," she was gentle with me, rubbing her hand over mine.

" I'll convince her to forgive me. I'll beg her to return to me and do everything I can. I can't breathe if she's not near me."

" But forgiveness comes from the heart, my dear boy, and it's not something she's willing to give right now."

I felt emotional, and my hands were shaking ever so slightly. I appreciated that I could be so vulnerable with Caliana. She stayed with me, and she escorted me to the plane when I was ready to go back.

That's all I remember. The rest of the days or weeks that followed were blank.
