356–She Doesn’t Care About Her Fated Mate

Silas:

I couldn’t help but keep staring at her. She looked even more beautiful now. I couldn’t understand how someone could glow up every time I saw them. But then, it was her words that tore my chest open and destroyed

1. me. She was opening her feelings for Brody, something she

never would have done before.

Because she used to be so into me.

I remembered that night when she came to my room, and we felt the mate bond. I wished I hadn’t slept with her, only to leave her and cause her pain. If I had controlled my urges, she wouldn’t be so angry with me now. I wanted to be with her, but not the way I did.

“What about me?” The words slipped out before I could stop them. I needed to know why she hadn’t waited for me. I never imagined her act so cold with me.

“I don’t know. You can find love, Silas. I don’t want to dwell on the past. I’m in love now, and I don’t want to ruin that,” she said, looking so innocent as she confessed her feelings for her useless husband.

If I didn’t care about her tears, I would fucking snap her husband’s neck right away and steal her from him.

“How could you love someone else when you have a fated mate?” I

sounded like such a hypocrite. First, I left her with a man who was always around, waiting for his chance, and now I expected her not to fall for him? Even after everyone told her to move on?

356–She Doesn’t Care About Her Fated Mate

It didn’t make sense, but I didn’t care about her feelings for Brody. I just knew deep down that I couldn’t let her go.

“Silas, I was accepted by him after you kicked me out of the mansion and the pack. Brody took care of me, and that’s how I fell in love with him. When I had no one else, he was there for me. I find it odd that you’re even asking me that,” she said, rolling her eyes, making my heart skip a beat. Of course, I didn’t want her to look at me like that. I had to say the right things–was there even a chance left for me?

“Now, let me get everything ready. You are our guest and I want you guys to feast well,” she smiled, but

then she added the words that shattered my heart. “Silas, please, don’t think about the past. I hope you find happiness too, just like I did. Sometimes fated mates don’t end up together. Get over it.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

I was left speechless, the way she casually told me to move on, as if it could be that easy for anyone to forget their fated mate. But what happened to her? When did she become so Heartless?

“Now go and wait for dinner,” she gestured playfully, waving her hand at me, teasing as she urged me to leave.

I couldn’t stand there any longer, watching her be over me. I had to leave. She was driving me insane. Her beauty had only intensified in the past months, and I feared losing control and hurting her even more by demanding her to leave with me. I needed to be careful.

I walked out of the kitchen and signaled the maids to go back inside. As they left, I came face–to– face with Nash, who looked like he needed to talk.

“I guess it didn’t go well with you either,” he said, his expression dark.

“I’m so frustrated that she’s acting like she doesn’t even care,” I hissed, not

yet to my

mate.

I knew my brothers had been with her before, but that didn’t bother me. She was my mate, and once I claimed her, I’d fix everything. But now, it seemed harder since she refused to accept that I was her fated mate.

“We must have hurt her so much,” Nash groaned, sounding exhausted.

“Of course we did, brother. Don’t you remember how she begged us to let her stay? Then she came here, into a completely new environment. She was upset with us long before that, even when the drama with those girls started happening every day,” I paused, clenching my jaw.

“And despite us knowing everything, we couldn’t hold her hand and tell her that we know she is innocent. We just had to fall for the tricks of those bitches because in the long run, we had to hurt Nora so that she remained safe,” I used to think my curse was just something I could deal with easily until now.

“But we had our reasons for what we did,” Nash argued.

“She didn’t know, and she doesn’t want to know,” I said, my heart aching. I desperately needed to shift and cool off.
