HIS INNOCENT MATE

IZZY’S POV Every time I looked at Michael, I felt a strong urge to rip his heart out of his chest. Who exactly does he think he is and how dare he show his disgusting face to me without any shame? After I found him between another wolf’s legs?? the audacity of this filthy son of a b***h!!! I’ve always known that he despised me, but I thought he would have some sanity to respect our bond. “We could have ripped out his heart when we had the chance” Bella said in my head “Not helping Bella” I said back as I rolled my eyes. “Plus, we can’t, you know why” I added “Because he is or was your sweet mate??” Bella assumed in a sarcastic tone “Yes that, and being demoted to an omega is enough, I don’t wish to be banished from the pack, at least not because of that jerk” I replied back. “ You know we’re strong enough to survive on our own, we can even go rogue HAAAA!!!” Bella said and laughed “Honestly shut up and f**k off Bella, you’re not helping in my situation” I said irritated. ‘ I don’t think you want me to shut up, you will die of boredom baby girl’ ‘I just ignored her and continued with my cooking in the park kitchen’ In my world, a mate is like the other part of someone’s soul, , a piece that completes a puzzle of someone’s life. But as for me, that was no longer the case, I couldn’t stand Michael again after what he did, and plan on rejecting him, I don’t care if I live as a mate less wolf but I can’t take disrespect from him. “Hey you” that's his voice. “ you look at me when am talking to you lowly thing”. And that was it, I was so done with his bullshit. “or else what?” I challenged back looking straight in his eyes. His eyes darkened with anger and it amused me as I watched his face turn ugly, I couldn’t help myself but smirk. I turned around to leave, but felt a strong burning sensation on my scalp, Michael was pulling me back by my hair, before I could fully process what was happening, I landed on my butt and I could feel my bones crack. Much as hate to admit, that was painful. I was collecting myself when I saw Michael aiming his kick directly to my face. And this is the moment I decided to let Bella take full control and the next thing I heard was a sound of cracking bones and a sharp ear-piercing sound in the whole kitchen. Yes!!! that was my wolf, she was right when she said we can survive on our own, she was satisfied with what she had just done. “You don’t get to interrupt my cooking time and you get away with it” I said with a wide grin plastered on my face. I don’t know if I looked scary or funny, but I loved the expression on his face. “You useless bitc………” I didn’t give him chance to finish his sentence and pinned him back on the floor using my foot. I stepped on his chest hard enough to earn an agonising sound. Oh my God I was enjoying this. “ENOUGH!!!!!” a strong commanding voice came from the doorway. I turned to look at my father and mother looking at the unfolding scene and some of the pack members had gathered around. I guess the commotion attracted their attention. I looked back at the man under my foot and pressed harder one more time before finally letting him go. “You will pay for this you witc…...!!!” Michael tried to say but I could let him finish and kicked his stupid ass sending him down again. That must have been painful according to his expression, he looked like his was fighting for his miserable life. “ENOUGH IZZY!!!!!” my mother now shouted. I was turning to rush out of the kitchen then I heard it, something I should have done long before, it was Michael’s voice “I MICHEAL WILLIAMS OF BLUE MOON PACK REJECT YOU ISABELLA QUINTON AS MY MATE” I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at him, he had a satisfied smile on his face. Poor thing must think I give a damn about this bond anymore, well I did but not after what he had done, I was thinking of doing the same anyway. “I ISABELLA QUINTON OF CRESENT MOON PARK ACCEPT YOUR REJECTION” I said in a firm voice. I could hear gasps of disbelief from the other pack members and Michael himself looked shocked from my response. At last am free from the shackles of this man. But surprisingly couldn’t feel the pain from the rejection, this was strange. Much as I resented him, rejecting our bond was supposed to make me feel some kind of way. “Was he even our mate??” my wolf and I whispered at the same time. “strange” Bella added and I nodded in agreement. This wasn’t right at all; something wasn’t adding up and I didn’t know what it was. Michael had announced his presence in my pack a year ago and told my parents that he was my mate. My parents had believed him but I didn’t, I was supposed to feel the bond between us the moment I lay my eyes on him but it was different, I didn’t feel anything. They insisted that maybe because it wasn’t a full moon or because I hadn’t come of age at the moment. But even when I came of age, I didn’t feel that strong bond with him, and his scent was always faint and disappeared with him once he left. One thing I noticed about him was a pendant he had around his neck each time he came into close distance with me. I had also observed that he didn’t carry it when he wasn’t with me, but I brushed it off, maybe he forgets sometimes. “Report to the Alpha’s chamber tonight” my father said before leaving the kitchen and my mother followed him. I took one last glance at Michael then stormed out of the kitchen. I hurt a little not because I was rejected but because I couldn’t find comfort in a person I believed to be my mate, he treated me like s**t and to him I was just a useless omega.
