THE MATING STRUGGLE

CLOSURE

CHAPTER 2

I went back home to get my baby and my bags and wanted to head back home to my family. And as soon as I got into the house, there was Trevor and his smug face and I chose to ignore him but it seems like today isn’t a good day for me as he tried to talk to me even after I was quiet his persistence irritated me. What drove me mad was when he called me “honey”. He said “we can work through this I don’t have to be impulsive about it”

the audacity he has. I said to him, his new mate and kid are here for him and he can do whatever he wanted with them and I couldn’t care less, I mean, I didn’t even care enough to know what her name was as I had no issue with her. It was a breeding period and she did what she had to do. “don’t try to be a saint and a victim “ Trevor said, after hearing those words, I launched a lamp at him followed by the glass table into the living room.

I had had enough of his excuses and I didn’t want to listen. I was about leaving when a growled at me thinking that would instill fear, my father didn’t raise me weak and my mother was definitely not a slave and his attempts to oppress me was nowhere close to the scar I would give him if he even tried to stop me from leaving.

I got my bike and my baby and drove through the woods till I reached revolt pack my original family. I could remember the smell but the terrain had changed significantly. I got to the front of the door and knocked. My mother opened the door and hugged me and kissed her grandchild on the forehead. She asked for his name, Daniel, which I said.

Fortunately for me I had arrived just in time for dinner, I was starving. Before I got into the house my mother started questioning me about where Trevor is and I told her where he was and who he was with. I was still to disgusted to talk about it. I asked where my brother was, we were inseparable as kids and we walked on each other like ankle traps. “Toby has gone to hunt and defend the territory from other packs and I don’t know when he will be back as it takes him a while or a few days before he returns” She said, she also said snidely as I walked in the house. “ we need to get you a man to” I glared at her saying I had just got back and will not be needing her to do anything, anything at all….I was tired, hungry, sleepy and dirty. I needed to go take a shower and put Daniel to sleep.

“Elena, you can't be a single mother, what would the neighbors think?”, Mother said. I don't care what the neighbors think and you shouldn't to, you are old and it is very irrelevant that you are stuck on what people think about you or me… it'll drive you to an early grave, I said. “I'm not going down there with you, not now at least”. I said, rushing to the bathroom…

I got in the shower as mother prepared the dining table I could already smell what delicious meals she cooked. I heard someone knock at the door but I rather ignored it, I couldn’t care at this point. I got out of the shower and dried my hair with the towel while singing “one last time to cleanse my self of that cheaters stench and be free of his face and skin” I walked to the dining table and there was a young man sitting at the table, I couldn’t tell what he was as his aura had a calm and deadly and a bit childish.

“miss Mabel I didn’t know you had such a princess for a daughter” he said, my mother then said “oh jasper, I have so many things you don’t know about”. My mother introduced him to me as “jasper”. What happened In a few moments infuriated me, he called me a princess yet again only this time he got a response from me. I told him to shut his mouth and leave. And then, right then, that deadly part came out. He talked to me with a calm composure, striking and defiling my attitude.

Oh this drove me mad, all I could smell was blood and I wanted his. “ you are a woman of experience and of status and for that I respect you, but I will not sit here and let you be disrespectful to me just as you please. I am here because of your mother and the respect I have for her, she has been kind to me. I will not let you arrive and slander our relationship. I could smell a very impulsive charisma from you and it needed to be controlled. The werewolf curse we both have doesn’t have to make you behave like an animal” Jasper said. I was baffled by the mouth on this guy. He exhaled, he still had a lot to say

“Yes. I say you look like a strong woman and your physique and charisma do you justice. But I am an omega and I have also been blessed with keen observation to learn from those above me and all I see when I look at you is a scared little girl who doesn’t want to get hurt, who doesn’t want to open up and be herself. Your marriage with the alpha of the Gaul pack may have ended because of the delusions you swim in. You have hurt yourself by yourself and you blame the people around”. He looked at me with degradingly and left. Followed by a glass cup which I threw a as he closed the door behind

As if that was not enough, my mother looked at me and licked my wounds, it was not a new things that she felt disappointed at me and strongly thinks that I can not do anything on my own and that I was to “impulsive”. After hearing those words over and over again I’ve started to believe it. She walked into her room and I felt to the floor, trying to digest the “bottles” I was just served, I didn’t want it but it was pushed down my throat. I puckered on the floor with my knees reaching my chin.

Even then I felt my mother in her room crying for she thought she had failed as a mother. She couldn’t understand the troubles I face as she is human and didn’t have the curse. It was hard for her, and I couldn't blame her, it's not easy to have a daughter or even a husband that wasn't like a normal person. I couldn't understand how she felt and she couldn't understand how I feel on the inside anytime something would trigger me
