Their Human Mate

15. The Ending Signal

JACOB

I pace around the room like a crazy person. Do I feel like an animal? Well, of course, especially if it's some 'special occasion'. And can I be tame? Well, right now, I cannot. DEFINITELY CANNOT.

How can I be calm if things really go my way, and my lifeline really snaps now?

‘No… this can’t be happening! All this time, the sign is still there! Did I push too far? Or am I just getting weaker after fighting those witches? But no! I can’t, as I’m an Alpha.’ I murmur, trying to feel my bond with Alexa again. But no matter how hard I try, and my ears buzz, it keeps failing.

Nothing. I can’t even feel her warmth from afar or even remember her scent.

‘Why in the hell did she…’ "Alpha, if you want to eat, come downstairs. I've prepared food for you. You had a match with human teams, right?"

"Oh, okay…"

My mate, Ashley Winter’s voice, breaks through all the thoughts in my head before I can think about why I say yes. Well, that’s the good thing about being a wolf. No need for a phone, message, or understanding ‘signals’ as long as you have a bond. Everything is easier to understand, except you can’t just think about cheating.

But thankfully, I can block her mind-reading about one topic: Alexa.

‘Better to just go downstairs and eat first, who knows if I’m like this because of a lack of food…’ I hope, as I go downstairs. But seriously…

Why can’t I feel Alexa Nicky’s bond?

Upon arriving in the dining room, I see Ashley dressed in an oversized captain rugby ball attire. I know that it’s mine because my name is on the back, and her white ass is exposed, thighs still wet from her o****m.

Usually, this sight makes me aroused because I know she m*********d first, so her hole is hot, and her pheromones are released, but this day, I am no longer interested.

I stop feeling everything after Alexa steps on my foot and threatens me with pepper spray.

‘Why do I even like flat butts while she’s a bubble…’ "Hey, since today you have a match, I cooked you chicken wings and eggs. It’s your favorite, and the egg one I brought from Wendy’s."

"Oh, okay…"

Then, I sit myself in my usual seat and take a bite. However, my eyes trail to the green things on the plate near the sink. Isn’t that….

"Oh, that’s your pesto. It’s Alexa’s," Ashley answers as she sits her wet ass in my groin. Even that doesn’t make my d**k hard. "She says she isn't hungry, so she skipped dinner. Bet she has a crush now, I mean, she's kinda different ever since she encountered that vamp boy and…"

The rest of her words blur as my grip on the fork loosens. Alexa rejected my pesto? Since when does she do that?!

‘Even when our ex-parents were still dating, she was the only one who ate my pesto. In fact, she was the only person who said that green sludge was delicious and always said that it was her comfort food, and she would be happy if I cooked it often… Did she lose interest? What’s with the sudden change?’

My ears are getting hotter as Ashley starts mentioning that corpse.

So that f*****g vamp, huh…who stole my girl?

"But I must admit that the vamp boy, Nicholas, is kinda hot. I mean, not only does he smell like old money, but he kinda has that rich gothic vibe. Well, his gloomy vibe matches hers, I mean, Alexa looks sad and depressed, and she always—Agh!!!" I grab her neck before she can badmouth Alexa more.

How dare this low-key slut insult Alexa in front of me?

"Just eat your f*****g Wendy’s and bacon. I’m no longer hungry!!" I yank her wet ass off my pants and slam her body roughly onto the table. She screams as I rip off my rugby shirt, but I don’t care. I grip her round breasts with my rough palm and stare at her sharply. I force her with our mate bond so she looks back and knows who’s in charge.

"And also, don't you dare to ever. Ever. wear my clothes again, as you don't have the right."

"Just walk around with your naked body. After all, you're just living here for free and opening your legs for me until the blood moon. Your w***e body doesn't need clothes."

Then, I yank her body down one last time before walking away and leaving her. I feel a pang in my chest, a pain that usually only forms when we hurt our mate, and as much as it hurts to walk away, I quicken my pace.

Going to the place where Alexa definitely is at this hour: Forks High School.

‘Hope I’m not late…

I still want Alexa Nicky to be my mate…’

ALEXA

I sigh in relief as our school day ends. For a second there, I think I will die from this boring physics lesson, but thankfully God still loves me.

"And as for him, thankfully his slimy mouth also doesn't intend to say weird things about me. I almost thought he would bring up last night's ‘tragedy’!" I think, glaring at the pale man as he walks out of the classroom.

It still flashes clearly in my head how I almost ripped my pants when he said he was amazed about mw last night, which turns out to be me showing interest in physics and asking him to teach me.

But wait, I hate studying, and clearly, never asked him for help. Why did he lie?

Is Nicholas playing fire with me?!

I hear giggling and scowl when I hear a ‘slap’ sound. Of course, it’s Betty, who also comes out of the classroom and acts like a pick-me girl by patting Nicholas’s shoulder.

"Tsk… They just met, and they're already this close. Hope they get together quickly," I think, wanting to quicken my pace. But I feel a pang because they look so good together. Nicholas looks cool, while Betty always looks bright.

It’s like some opposite attraction, right?

‘Why did I suddenly want to punch Betty so much…’ I mutter, before shaking my head to get rid of that bad thought, and just as I’m about to turn the corner, I feel someone following me.

It’s Nicholas Alexander.

‘Is he following me…’ "Hey, are you free today?"

"What?"

Nicholas's words break my reverie. Did he just ask me out?

"Well, yes, I'm free? But probably going home to get some sleep," I shrug, trying to look okay.

"Anyway, you should go back to Betty. She seems to be waiting for you, I think she likes yo—" "Let's go out for a date."

"What?"

"You know, Alexa…" Nicholas takes a step closer to me, for a second there I see his eyes glow red again. Are my eyes starting to get cataracts? "I've been thinking about you, and I think I'm interested in you, so tell me, Alexa Nicky…

Are you still single?"
