BETRAYED BY HER MATED

CHAPTER 3

Tricia's POV

"You ungrateful cunt!" Father yelled and hit me hard accross the face that I lost balance and fell to the ground.

"Come inside this instant! And prepare for your punishment. You have disgraced me enough! Useless and mateless child!" He yelled hurtful words to pull me down, I could feel the gazes of many on me and I knew instantly that father must've already told them that I hadn't slept home last night. My only prayer at that point was to be given a lighter punishment and that father had no idea of what truly happened last night; that would be the death of me.

"What have I done to the moon goddess to deserve such a trouble magnet like you" mom said with a teary voice.

I sighed helplessly before getting off the floor, I walked into the building with my head bowed and fixated on the ground five metres away from me. I closed the door behind me and walked to the living room mentally prepping myself for what is to come.

"Where were you last night?" Father asked in a rather calm tone

"I slept off at Carlotta's place" I murmured feeling uncomfortable about lying to them.

"Carlotta?" He said in a more questionable tone

"That girl that doesn't sleep at home?! Carlotta that sleeps at hotels with some humans?!" He thundered and I couldn't help but shiver due to fear.

" I always knew you would be exactly like your mother. You are both nothing but ungrateful w****s" I looked up to mum, waiting for her to respond even in the slightest way but as predicted; she did nothing but watch him abuse her like she was nothing

"Your mother-"

"Enough!" I yelled unable to take it anymore

"What?! You are talking back?!" He yelled

"Yes I am!" I yelled too. Who did he think he is, I would not let him pull me or my mother down any longer

"You have guts-"

"Yes I do have guts; You have no right to speak about my mother that way, she is your mate for goodness sake. And you know what? I'd rather remain mateless for the rest of my life than have a mate like you" I decided to express my feelings, I've had more than enough of feeling bad for myself just because I do not have a mate at 27.

"Dad, I've had more than enough of feeling bad for myself just because I do not have a mate at 27. I do not want to find my mate anymore, I will remain mateless for the rest of my life and I won't be bothered about it okay!" I said authoritatively. I looked back and forth between them, waiting for their reactions to the news.

"Then leave this house" father said after an awkward silence

"What" my mom and I replied simultaneously

"Belle, pack her things. She leaves this house right now" he said in a loud tone.

"Please rethink; she is still our dau-"

"She is 27 years old!" He yelled

"She-"

"Leaves" he completed her sentence. I looked at my mom in disbelief, even at this point she wasn't going to stand up for herself. She slowly looked towards me; defeat evident in her eyes and I knew exactly what she was about to say.

"Tricia" she began in a small tone

"Don't say it" I stopped her

"I'll leave" I said with finalty and walked out on them both, I heard dad yelling like a lost cause but didn't turn back to look at them even once. I literally ran upstairs to my room and shut the door behind me.

I packed up some clothes and left the rest for when I get an apartment. I got my suitcase and slowly walked down the stairs and met them at the bottom floor waiting for me. I could tell from the look in my father's eyes that he wanted me to come begging on my knees to stay and continue being his puppet but I was done with him, I've had enough.

I held my suitcase and walked out the door without looking back, thankfully I had a little sum of money and my phone. I stood by the road side and called Carlotta

"Hey babe, what's up. You okay?" She immediately began blabbing once I picked up the phone.

"Am on my way to your place. Are you home?" I asked not replying her earlier question

"Not an answer to my question but okay. Am home" she replied

"K" and with that, I cut off the call without waiting for a response. I knew that was rude of me but at this point; I didn't want to care about my rights or my wrongs.

After a long while walking, I finally got to Carlotta's house and walked in without knocking. I left my bag in the living room and walked into her bedroom. I met her laying on the bed with her phone, giggling at something.

"Hey you're finally here" she said in her usual loud tone. I sat at the edge of the bed and let out a huge surpressed sigh.

"What's wrong" she got up and asked

"I was kicked out" I said simply

"By your dad? What did your-"

"What could she say?" I cut her off

"Oh....." She dragged and fell back on the bed

"Let's go back" she suddenly said

"What?!" I asked in a high pitched tone

"We're getting your things. You live with me from now on. Infact, I'm going there alone, I'll get you're stuff and come back here. All you have to do is sit here tight, I'll be right back" she was about to stand up when I stopped her.

"My suitcase is in the living room " I said and looked confusedly at her shocked expression

"Did your mom throw you out?" She asked

"No....I got mad and stood up for myself...then I packed up my things and left " I said in a low tone

"Miss Tricia Katrina Houston!
