My Exotic Mate

Unfated Soulmates

Kai

I’ve closed myself off from everyone. I didn’t want anyone but Mari. I meant it when I told her that it wasn’t her fault. She wasn’t in control, but I have to find a way to bring her back. Malik and Rafe have been holding down the pack house for me. A few Omega wolves came and took care of my wounds. I always appreciated them before, but now, they are even more respected. Rafe poked his head in the door before coming in for the fifth time today to check on me.

“Hey bro, sitting here in bed isn’t going to help you solve anything.”

He was right, but I didn’t care to hear it. I was only focused on getting rid of Risa. When I didn’t respond to him, he sat on the bed next to me. “Kai, we need to figure out a plan.”

“You’re right, we do. We need a plan that isn’t going to hurt Mari,” I explained.

“I understand, but maybe we have to do that in order to get her back.”

I frowned at my brother, my anger only increasing. Lennie growled in my head and he never growled at my brother before. “Why would I want to hurt the love of my life? Why would you even consider hurting Mari?”

“It’s what she wanted, Kai! Why aren’t you thinking clearly?” Rafe shouted. Immediately, I hemmed Rafe against the wall with my hand around his throat. Lennie was taking over and Rafe knew it when he saw my eyes change.

“Your brother may not want to hurt you, but I will, Rafe! She is our mate and I will not let anyone, including you, hurt her!”

Rafe was struggling to talk and I told Lennie to loosen up so he could speak. “I-i know t-that, Alpha,” he coughed. Lennie let him go and I transformed back. Rafe held his neck as he was panting. “I’m not saying I want to hurt her. I care about Mari too! But we have nothing and who knows what they’re up to.”

I took a deep breath to allow myself to calm down. I shouldn’t be taking my anger out on Rafe.

Several hours passed as my brothers, Miren, and I worked together on trying to come up with ideas that could help Mari. Miren was experienced in magic and was practicing, but nothing was coming together.

“Okay, let’s take a break from this,” Malik suggested.

As bad as I wanted to keep going, I needed to relax and revive in order to think clearly. “Yeah,” I puffed out a breath. “I need a drink.”

“I think we all do. Let’s go.” We gathered our things and left out the door. We all entered the Players Club and it reminded me when Mari first burst through our doors. She was adamant on finding her sister. She was brave enough to crash into the pack bar and make demands. That’s what really intrigued me. The fact that she’s my mate was icing on the cake. Now she’s making another sacrifice for the people she loves.

“Hey Alpha, what can I get you?” Tay, a member of my pack asked.

“Double shot of Louis XIII.”

He nodded, “Yes, sir.”

I sat there lost in my own thoughts. I thought drinking would’ve helped, but it doesn’t.

“I’m sorry about the Alpharess,” he said.

“Thank you, man.” I rubbed my face. I needed to get my s**t together. I’m a damn Alpha for goodness sake. I can’t be sitting mad at the world.

“Damn right you can’t,” Lennie chimed in.

“Oh shut up. Don’t act like you weren't sad.” I rolled my eyes.

“I was, but now I’m determined to get her back. She's our queen and every king needs their queen.”

I quickly stood on my feet and pulled out my phone and dialed Mesai’s number.

“Kai?” She answered confusingly.

“Hey, can we meet up?”

“Yeah, come by the castle. How’s Miren?”

“She’s good. She’s drinking with Malik.”

“Okay, let her be. I want to make sure this works before I tell her. I’ll send you the address and let Roman know that you’re coming by,” she informed.

“Okay, thank you.”

“No, thank you for loving my sister.”

I managed to smile. “Of course.” I closed my phone and I went to Rafe.

“Hey, so Mesai thinks she may have something and I need to go meet up with her.”

“Do you want me to go with you?”

I shook my head, “No, but I’ll call you as soon as I know something. Don’t tell Miren or Malik for that matter.”

“Alright,” he leaned in and hugged me. “Be careful.”

“I will.” I ran to my car and scurried onto the road. I hope whatever Mesai found works.

Malik

Miren left to go to the bathroom while me, Rafe, and a couple of our friends sat in a booth and ordered drinks. As I'm taking my first shot I get a whiff of coconut and shea butter mix. I turned my head to see where the smell was coming from and I spotted a brunette woman in the corner. At that moment I knew I found my mate. She must’ve noticed that we were mates because she walked over and smiled at me. She wore an all black dress with biker boots. Unexpectedly, she planted herself on my lap and the funny part was I didn't feel the mate bond as strong as I would've thought. If anything has the opposite effect on me, I felt the urge to push her off my lap and walk away.

“Hi mate,” she smiled. “I’m Phoebe.” I swear her voice made my ears bleed a little. Nothing against her because she’s a very beautiful woman but both my wolf and I long for Miren.

“Malik, now I get that we are mates, but you need to get off of me.”

“Come on, don’t be like that. We are destined to be together so we have a whole lifetime to get to know each other,” she ran her nail down my chest.

As I was getting ready to push her off my lap Miren returned from the bathroom and saw her on my lap. The moment our eyes locked I could see her trying to hold back the tears of hurt and betrayal. f**k! Miren wiped her face and ran past me out the club. I pushed the girl off my lap and ran after Miren and before I knew it she drove off back to the pack house.

"Dammit!" I yelled.

Rafe came out to see what happened and I told him that Phoebe was my mate and Miren just saw her on my lap.

"Well, what are you going to do?”

“I don’t know, should I go after Miren or should I go back with my mate?”

Rafe shrugged. “Who do you want?"

"I want Miren," I responded.

"Then go get her dummy. Why are you still standing here talking to me?” He playfully yelled. I shifted into my wolf and used my speed to get back home quicker.

I ran as fast as I could, my wolf pushing past our limits because if we waste any more time, it would be too late and I realized that I can't lose her. f**k being friends I want her to mine and mine alone. She may not be my fated mate, but she’s definitely my soulmate and I wasn’t about to lose her.

Miren

I drove off as fast as I could back to the pack house to pack my s**t and leave. I figured I’ll stay at Roman’s with Mesai until I figure out what I wanted to do. After seeing Malik with his mate, I just couldn't handle it and rushed out of there before the knife in my heart dug deeper into my soul.

As I reached the pack house, I ran to my room and started packing all of my things. I could hear a loud howl and I knew Malik was just outside. I moved faster hoping to avoid him, but the door was kicked open and there he was.

"Why did you leave?" He asked. His confused expression only made me more frustrated. He looked at the bed seeing my suitcase filled and his eyes shifted showing me that his wolf was trying to surface.

"Where are you going Miren?"

"Why? It doesn't matter.” I answered.

“Of course it matters,” he walked closer.

I scoffed as tears ran down my face. “I knew that this was going to happen. We both did.”

"Knew what was going to happen?"

"Ugh, you found your mate. I knew that if I-“ I said before stopping myself.

He frowned, "If you what?"

"Nothing, it's not important,” I dismissed it.

He closed the gap between us, "It's important to me Miren, so answer me. You, what?”

I rolled my eyes then rubbed the back of my head while fidgeting not wanting to answer him.

"Miren!" He pleaded.

"If I fell in love with you, this would happen! Are you happy now? I fell in love with you but it doesn't matter because you found your mate.” My voice cracked, but I took a deep breath and pulled myself together.

"What does finding my mate have to do with anything?"

"Are you serious? You know what it means. You’re supposed to be with your mate and that’s not me," I reminded him.

"What if I don't want to be with my fated mate? Did it occur to you that I may not want her?” He spat.

I shrugged my shoulders. It played in my head that he would choose me, but I knew that I was only imagining a fairytale ending. I needed to be realistic.

"No it didn’t," I lied. “I knew this would be impossible.”

He came even closer to me, our lips just a breath away. He whispered in his husky deep voice and said "Everything is possible. You’re a Goddess so you should know that. I don’t want her, Mimi, I want you."

I stared at him not knowing what to say. He was choosing me over his fated mate! My walls cracked and he knew it. My heart was racing and he felt it.

“I want you too.” That was all he needed to hear before planting a passionate kiss on my lips. This is wrong. It’s not fair to his mate and I can’t be his mistress. I was about to push him away when he grabbed my hand and linked our fingers.

"Don't reject me, be with me, Miren."

I just nodded my head as our lips connected again. I couldn’t picture being anyone else but him. He picked me up, having my arms and legs wrapped around him as we stared into each other's eyes.

I took one hand and rubbed it through his hair as he slammed me against the wall. The next thing I know he ripped the straps of my dress with one swoop. My breast spilled out as he continued kissing me. He carried me to the bed and pounced on me. We were passionately making out as he played with my breast. He teased my n*****s with hands before taking one into his mouth. I arched my back giving him more access. His tongue lapped at my sensitive bud and damn this man was a beast. With his other hand, he ran down my stomach to the lining of my panties. His hand made its way inside and a finger greeted my wet, hooded c**t. My breath caught in my throat. My body quivered at his touch. I was close to my o****m and I anticipated it. Instead, he removed his finger and lined his huge shaft with my entrance before slowly teasing me with the head of it.

“Please Malik,” I begged. He gently slid his d**k deep inside me and I gasped at the sudden invasion that brought me both pleasure and ecstasy.

"Oh Malik, f**k!" I moaned.

" Baby you feel so f*****g good,” he groaned.

He kept thrusting back and forth as he began to speed up his pace. His rhythm switched which only made me more aroused. Sometimes he was hard and rough and other times he was gentle. It was a pleasurable mixture. But I wanted to have all of me and I damn sure was going to give him all of me.

"Be my mate, Miren. Let me mark you as mine, let me choose you to be my forever, my soulmate," he panted as his pace began to pick up.

"Yes, Malik please mark me, mark me as yours. I want to be your forever," I moaned.

As we're coming close to our c****x his canines elongated and bit down on my neck and I screamed in pain, but just as quickly, I moaned at the sudden pleasure rushing through my body.

"Your mine," he moans as he licks to seal his mark.

"I'm yours," I cried out. “Only yours.” Malik held one of my legs up and slammed inside of me. It didn't take much longer before I was on the edge.

“Malik, I need to c*m,” I murmured. I felt him pump harder and I couldn’t hold it any more.

“c*m now, Miren!” He grunted as he also released himself while planted inside of me.

After we finished, he got off of me and pulled me to his chest. I looked deep into his eyes and saw no regrets. He was sure about this. He was sure about me.

I wanted to ask him about the other woman but I didn’t want to ruin our moment. Suddenly, his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he began to shake. I jumped up realizing that he was having some sort of a seizure.

“Malik!” I pleaded. I protected his head with pillows and made sure his airway wasn’t blocked. How could this happen? Why now? I grabbed my phone and called Kai, but he didn’t answer. Next I dialed Rafael and as soon as he picked up, I told him what happened. Immediately, my room was filled with doctors from the pack. I held onto his shirt trying not to cry. God, please let him be okay. I can’t lose him, not now!
