The Heir's Shadow

A CHEATING MATE

Chapter 2

Mireya’s POV

“Okay, that's enough. That is the heir to the Pack you are talking to, show some respect” Alec hissed at him, his big frame coming to stand beside me.

“I am talking to my mate, move before you contaminate her with whatever your freak of nature mate had given to you” Xander let out, his lips curled into a smirk.

“You son of a b***h!” Alec moved to punch him but other soldiers held him back. Begging him to not hit Xander. I breathe through my mouth, my anger mixing with hurt.

“Don't insult Alec’s mate just because of an issue between us, we will talk at home. Go” I ordered, using my Voice. My hands clenched into a fist beside me, my anger making my whole body quake.

“Don't you dare use your Voice on me, I don't take orders from a woman” everyone around sucked in a breath, the training ground silent. I bite back the snarl that almost left my lips, my wolf rearing out to fight.

“That's enough, come on” I pulled on his arm, leading him away from the training ground. “Why are you being so difficult?” I growled out. He always caused a scene when things doesn't go his way.

“I am being difficult? You are the one always nitpicking about everything” he retorts, a vein bulging in his neck. “But you didn't have the right to talk about me losing our pups like that” I refused to cry in front of him.

It appears our mate bond is broken beyond repair. A Fated mate shouldn't be able to use losing a child to insult one another. It was beyond a low blow, it was a wicked thing to do. He blinked fast, his eyes shining with tears.

“I just got really angry and you didn't allow me to touch you, I lost it. I am sorry Mimi” His shoulders slumped forward, his hands fisting his trousers. I let of a sigh, tired of saying and doing the same thing over and over again.

“Even if I didn't allow you to touch me, there are certain things that are just too painful to forgive. I am not coming home tonight, I would stay in the pack house” I explained turning to go back to the training ground.

“Please, Mimi. We lost our pups but we still have each other, don't do this to us” he begged, hand clutching at my waist. “You didn't think about that before you blurted it to the world” I flung his hand away, the tears I had been keeping at bay spilling down my cheeks.

I had gone to the healer each time I got pregnant, scared of losing the pup. Yet, time and time again I had a miscarriage. At a point I had been too hurt to try again, my heart could take no more scars.

I wiped at my cheeks before I entered into the training ground. “If you are standing doing nothing, you are wrong! If you are gossiping, you are wrong! Get to work people!” I hollered out, startling the soldiers.

Some regarded me with a smile, some with pitying looks and some showed no emotions on their faces.

I didn't need their pity, I detest it more than anything. The Alpha heir to the pack has to be strong, there is no room for weakness.

After a few grueling training we were done for the day. “Are you alright?” Alec asked, taking a sit on the grass beside me. I blew out a breath, my shoulders heavy. “I don't even know anymore” I rasped out.

I didn't know where things went wrong or if I did anything to make him become the way he was now.

Every little thing became a fight, every look, every touch. I can't even remember the last time we had s*x. Good s*x.

“It would be fine” Alec patted me on the back, remaining silent afterward. I wondered if it would be fine truly or I was fighting a losing battle.

“I decided to stay in the pack house this night, get fresh air and all” I rambled out, smiling faintly at him.

“You don't need to explain yourself, Mireya. Do what is best for you” He smiled sadly at me, tears clouding his vision.

That was the only push I needed to crumbling into his arms. I wailed, my throat aching from the agony pouring out of me.

“You would be fine, it's okay. It isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself” Alec whispered into my ear, his hand rubbing down my back soothingly.

I felt as if I was going to cry out my heart, my eyes swelling shut from the amount of tears that had come out of them. No one knew me better than Alec.

He knew of even my deepest darkest secret. “That asshole needs to be thought a lesson” “Please” The word had Alec clenching his fist, jaw ticking.

“He doesn't deserve you, one day he would regret ever treating you this way” he placed a hand on my shoulder, squeezing it reassuringly before he left.

I sat on the ground, absorbing the last shade of the sun before it set. When it was dark, I head to the pack house.

Murmuring broke out as some pack members sighted me as I entered into the pack house.

“Is everything okay, Mireya?” My father, Ronan Lockwood, Alpha of Blood shade pack asked. “Everything is fine Dad. I just wanted to spend the night here” he narrowed his eyes at me, smelling my bullshit.

“I would leave you to rest. For now, we would talk about this tomorrow” he squeezed me into a hug before leaving. I trudged upstairs to my ready made room in the pack house.

“Did you hear about what happened at the training ground today?” A feminine voice asked, stopping me in my track. They were going to talk about the scene Xander had created.

I stayed where I was. I wanted to hear what they had to say about it. “I did, poor Alpha Mireya. She got paired with a wrong mate” Another feminine voice replied, tone sympathetic.

I moved to reveal myself when they spoke up again “That reminds me, guess who I saw coming out nearly naked out of Sally Thorne’s house?” A feeling of forebrooding came before me, I had an inkling I wouldn't like the answer.

“It was Alpha Xander, he even kissed her before he entered into his car! I have never heard of a Fated mate cheating on their spouse before. He is such a d**k” Her ranting faded away.

My heart dropped to the bottom of my a

bdomen in despair. My mate was cheating on me. And everyone knew but me.
