DEAR EX- MATE, WHY DON'T YOU CALL ME MOTHER?

CHAPTER 3

CASPAIN.

I could feel excitement growing in me as I watched my son reject my mate who surprisingly also turned out to be his mate. Today was supposed to be heartbreaking for me, but surprisingly it turned out to be just a good day.I was annoyed at him, though, for it was obvious he broke her heart but she sure tried proving strong as always and that nothing could break her, but I could sense pain from her words and could also witness them in her bright, piercing blue irises.Especially when she was bundled out of the hall, om Alexander's orders. I waited for a few moments, fighting the urge to get up and smash those who made fun of her in the face before going after her.My guards were trailing behind me. I pretended to stop at the fountain in the palace, lost in thoughts, but meanwhile, from the corner of my eyes, I was looking at her as she rested on the wall nearby.I watched as she stomped her feet angrily on the floor, gritting her teeth in frustration while clenching her fists. All these actions of hers brought a smile to my face as I felt she was being adorable.Not long after, her sister and her minions came out to mock her, but her b***h of a sister stopped, sighting me by the fountain, and acted out a little drama like she was truly remorse and had no intention of stealing her sister's man like the little w***e she was.I felt a wave of irritation run through me and tried to make my expression as neutral as possible and not show how disgusted I was, with her pathetic performance."Well she did us a favor, didn't she?" My wolf, Dante, reprimanded me, and I calmed myself down a little.I ignored her totally and just pretended to be passing by. Even when she stopped to greet me, I showed her no acknowledgment. She deserved none.But when I passed by her, the one woman who managed to make my heart flutter again after Leslie's death, my body went tense, my skin tingling with anticipation as my heart pounded a little bit faster.I breathed in her alluring scent of rose petals and felt alive for the first time in years. I just wanted to move closer to her and bury my head in her neck, bit and suck on her skin. Just imagining all these was making me uncomfortable in my pants already, but I fought for self-control and hurriedly left.I dismissed my guards, stood by a corner, and watched her sister reveal her true colors and start to bully her. Veins bulged out of my hands and forehead, and I thought I might have to interfere, but my little mate proved she could do just fine and didn't need me.A flash of displeasure went through me at that thought and I pondered why."Well, we will always want to protect our mate, won't we?" Dante reminded me. I just watched quietly as my mate put that cunning, little, bitchy, foster sister of hers in her place.Her backups tried fighting for her but they held no candle to Lisa. I chuckled at their pale faces. They planned on making fun of her but got mocked instead. Ariel left afterward, and with the way she was going absentmindedly, her face twisted into a puzzle like she was battling millions of thoughts in her head; I knew she had no idea where she was heading.She stopped at some point and I did too, hiding silently in the shadows and just watching her every movement."Isn't this stalking?" Dante questioned me but I ignored him. Stalking or not, I just wanted to be near my mate. I have been away for far too long. Ariel kept playing with her fingers as she also battled with thoughts in her head.There were times she talked to herself and I had to wonder if she was running crazy till I figured she was probably conversing with her wolf. I knew it was wrong of me and invasion of privacy but I leaned in closer and caught on a word from her lips.

"The only way I could get my revenge". The thin lines of my brows jumped up in surprise.' Revenge? Great heavens, I hope she wasn't planning to take revenge on Alexander?'. " Would you blame her if she was?" Dante inquired from me, and I went dead silent, thinking. I knew I couldn't interfere and might even support her motive, getting revenge against my son.Well, it was not entirely his fault that he rejected her, but at the same time, he was stupid enough to listen to me and let such a precious jewel-like her go. 3 years back, on the full moon festival, I discovered I had been granted a second chance mate by the moon goddess. I never expected it would be her and when I was about to make a move, I discovered the moon goddess had played a trick on me.But why? The reason was still unknown to me till now. My son and I got fated to the same girl so I did exactly what every competitor would do to win the game. Eliminate the opponent. It was selfish of me, I know, but I just couldn't resist.She went home and I followed her like I do every night and hid up in a tree, watching as she cried her eyes out, dropping her guard. I felt my heart shattering into pieces knowing my mate was hurt and there was nothing I could do to console her at the moment.Killing Alexander crossed my mind but I shut it down. Days passed and I noticed something weird and strange. She has been trying to get my attention but often made a fool of herself.I decided if she wanted to see me, then she would get to and make an appearance to me, that almost made her soul come out of her body.
