My mate’s mistress

Chapter 46. His regret

Two and a half weeks blew by. After a whole week of not seeing evon and trying to get onto him even if he doesn’t reply to my text and calls, I stopped and decided that I was going to reject him and let him and auri be. I had came to my parents pack ‘ thunder banes’ under the pretence of not spending enough time with them but really I came to ask about the process of rejecting a mate. So after staying almost a week with them I asked My mom about how rejection works and she doesn’t want me to reject evon saying that he’s probably processing having two mates, so, she didn’t tell me. I can’t go to dad because, well I don’t want to have to face him..so now I’m going to the one person I didn’t think I would turn to. Mom was bummed when I told her auri was also Evon’s mate and said it’s not impossible to have two mates but in all her years of living she never heard of it, only read about it.

“ glad to see you my grand-” Spencer begin as he opens the door to his office to let me in. We spoke two times before this and I have to admit he’s not a bad person, at least not to my brother and I. He had said Andel took over dad’s room and told me to choose a room of my own and I told him I didn’t want it but now I might reconsider. He wasn’t phased about it and said I’ll always have a place here whether I’m an official pack member or not.

“ please, don’t. Don’t make this weird.” I held my hand up and he laughed.

“ well we’re getting somewhere, at least.” He said and i looked at him then nodded.

“ so, what’s so urgent that you couldn’t wait?.”

“ well it’s nothing big, I- I just want to know the process of rejection” I stammered. He seemed surprised for a bit then composed himself.

“ I see. You want to reject your mate.” He sighed before sitting and pointed to a chair across from his for me to sit before continuing.

“ it’s not an easy process but it’s also not hard.. though i heard it hurts physically. before I tell you this you must know that you don’t always get second chances. Right after saying the rejection words you feel the pain of the bond snapping out of place..if there’s one then you kind of go into a depressive state, well not everyone.. it depends.”

“Okay. I can handle that.” I say more to myself. this was easier than I thought.

“ that’s not all. If you’re not strong enough You get sick and maybe die. That depends on how bonded you are.. if the bond between you two are really strong the more severe it’ll be. from what I see you’re not marked so it shouldn’t be that bad.” He stated while eyeing me carefully.

“ have you..mated with-” he started cautiously.

“ Spencer!!” I exclaimed looking at him wide eye.

“ what.. okay well, if you have, you might need someone to help you recover from the rejection so just brace yourself for the pain if you haven’t it shouldn’t be that bad.”

“Okay. Thank you.” I told him and he nodded

“Look, Yolanda.” He said as I got up.

“ I know I did your parents wrong, I never wanted to truly take him from the position he worked for. It never even crossed my mind.”

“ so why did you do it then.” I asked him

“ I merely wanted to scare him into rejecting your mother and i am grateful he didn’t. I am proud of him that he stood up to not only his father but also his alpha. At that time I saw how strong and determined he was, standing up against me for his mate as it should be. in that moment I realized I took his childhood from him not bothering to ask him what he wanted.” He sighed leaning back on his chair and I sat back down.

“I am the reason my boys aren’t as close as they were before they got to this. After hearing him talk about not being able to be a normal teenager, it broke me .. so I couldn’t bring myself to tell him I was trying to scare him into rejecting his mate, but still .. I shouldn’t have. So i decided I’m not Going to take any more than I already did from his life. He deserves to live a happy life even if it was at the packs expense.” He heaved a heavy sigh before continuing.

“All the things I said to him..I regret it everyday and even more when your grandma had told me he passed, obviously they didn’t. I lived almost ten years believing that my son died with his mate in an accident. I punished myself day and night because I knew I could’ve protected him from those people but at the same time.. I couldn’t. And that’s what hurt most...he thought, he couldn’t depend on me and had no choice but to run. I mourned him everyday, taking flowers and gifts at the crash sight on his birthday and that unfortunate day. I couldn’t take it anymore, So I put the pack in the hands of Liam and hoped for the best. That’s why you see your grandma or I would step in on certain things. He sometimes pass things off as a simple matter when they’re really important, we lost deals, partnership on jobs with two packs and onyx stone pack ended their alliance with us.” I can truly see regret in his face, I feel sorry for him.

“Why didn’t you train both of them for it then that way you’d have options” he let out a humourless chuckle.

“ I did..,but Liam was slacking off not going to training as he was supposed to, didn’t go to meetings when I asked. He wasn’t consistent like your father so I put all my focus on him.” He wiped his hand down his face and his face now looks pained.

“ well you guys aren’t doing bad.” He scoffed before he got up and went to a hidden cupboard taking a glass and a bottle of whiskey.

“As if losing what we already did wasn’t enough, he doesn’t even have a mate, much less an heir to keep the pack going.”

“ what do you mean, what about Mason?.” I questioned as I stood up.

He stop pouring and looked at me surprised then confused as he asked.

“ Mason who?”

“I don’t really know his last name.”

“The name sounds familiar but I’ve never seen.. that’s beside the point. You’re saying Liam has a son.”

I frown and looked at him “please tell me you’re joking?.” I took out my phone trying to retrieve a picture of both of us from when I visited him.

“This is him.” I walked over and handed the phone to Him with the side by side picture of Mason and I smiling. Mason is much taller than I am so he had stooped to my height with his hand on my shoulder when I took the picture. You can see similarities in us with that picture or just seeing us together. He always seems so happy and free when he’s not around liam.

When Spencer saw the picture I saw his eyes flashed red a moment before it went away and his face twisted to anger. He hands me back the phone and drank the whiskey from the glass in one go. I wonder to myself if I was tripping with the change of his eye colour.

“ I..maybe I shouldn’t have said anything -“ I said panicked. I don’t want to start trouble.

“ no you did the right thing. Excuse me, will ya? I have to take care of this. If you feel like staying have a look at the three bedrooms on the third floor to the left.” He said as he went through his phone he never seize to surprise me whenever we meet. I walked out of the room behind him.

“Sasha, take Yolanda to the lift.” He said as we reach the living room to a girl who was vacuuming the floor.

“No it’s okay I’ll” I began to say.

“This house is like a maze. She’s just taking you to the lift.” He chuckled dropping his hand on my shoulder and giving it a light squeeze.

“ yes alpha” the Sasha girl said then walk pass Spencer and if I’m not crazy I could swear she just looked at me with a side eye. I brushed it off because I didn’t do anything to her besides what can she do to me. Nothing.

“ your brother’s room is the last one on the other side.” He stated from behind me but loud enough for me to hear and I turned around to thank him.

“Okay. Thanks grandp- Spencer.” His face is one of shock before he start laughing and nodding his head. I quickly turned around to follow the girl.

Seeing all the rooms I decided to take the middle one it’s not too big just nice and cozy.

I lay on the bed for a couple of minutes before slipping into slumberland.

I woke up to my phone ringing and noticed there were fourteen missed calls from none other than evon.

I rolled my eyes putting my phone on silent then I decided to turn it off. Turning on my side I suddenly remember I fell asleep and didn’t lock the door so I quickly went to lock it.

I don’t know why but recently I found myself being paranoid if it’s not locked while I’m asleep.
