He went crazy after I left him

I stood frozen at the door, I let my eyes trailed over her body and insecurities immediately chipped in. She was perfect, great body, beautiful face. I laughed silently, no wonder Brian could hardly get over her.

Slim, long fair legs, blonde and a killer face any man would die for. She was everything I couldn’t be, I was thicker and curvier. I bit my lips hard, finally regaining my composure.

“Brian isn’t home, if you have something to give him. Just drop it and be in your way. Or better still call him like you used to”. I said, wanting to shut the door on her face immediately. But she stepped forward, blocking it with her palm, flashing me a smile.

“I’m here for you”. It is funny how her voice doesn’t match her personality.

“How may I be of help to you, Miss Laurel?”. I forced a smile, opening the door and letting her in. There was no use arguing with her or not letting her enter. She was already in my mate’s life, so why not his house as well.

It wasn’t like this was her first time here. The first time she was introduced as “his colleague” how naive I was I. What kind of boyfriend would make his soon to be wife sit at the back just because his so-called colleague doesn’t like the back seat.

She stepped into the house, her eyes darting around as she smiled. “It must be really tiring staying here all by yourself”. She looked around the house.

“That’s funny, judging from the fact my mate came home last night. At least I don’t have to send naked pictures of myself to someone else’s mate in the middle of the night”. I fired back at her. Her eyes widened in shock before a knowing smile replaced it.

“So you know? And yet you’re still with him. Are you that desperate for a family? Even if your parents are dead, you should at least have some dignity and not suck up to someone else’s mate. Brian is mine to begin with, just because I left for a while doesn’t mean someone like you can take my place”.

My parents ain’t dead but I was not ready to argue with her about it. That was the only lie I had told Brian. And of course, he tells her everything.

“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?”. She stepped closer to me, allowing me to inhale her familiar scent my soon to be husband always carries around.

When I first noticed the scent from Brian’s shirt, he had denied it. Swearing he would never cheat on me and he had lots of meetings so it was probably from one of them.

“If you still want him, why did you leave him before? Or is it because he’s now an alpha? Brian is my mate…”. I didn’t finish when she cut me off.

“He’s my fated mate not yours. You are just his chosen mate, you can never ever be his true mate”. She interrupted.

“Brian would never leave me for you and I will never let you have him either. No matter how much you deny it, nothing can ever beat a true mate bond, he will always come back to me. And you will always be his second choice”. I bite my lips hard till I taste my own blood, clutching my gown tightly.

“Please leave”.

“Want to know something fun? That day on your fifth anniversary Brian never had any meetings with the alpha. He had spent the whole day with me, same thing on your birthday. Those bags he bought… Those are bags I had used and discarded. I picked them from my trash and gave it to him”.

My nails digging into my palm as my chest heaved with silent sobs. When I finally looked down, my knuckles were white.

“And weren’t you rejected by your first mate too?”. My eyes widened in shock as I raised my head to look at her. He told her that?

“Jordan, wasn’t it?”. She mocked.

“Actually he was a very nice man too, I used to be with him. It’s funny how you always pick up the trash I no longer use. First my ex then my fated mate? Come on, Angela you can’t be that lonely”.

“Get out!”. I finally found my voice as I yelled at her. She flinched back a little, staring at me angrily.

“How dare you….”.

“If you make me repeat myself again, I will ask the guards to strip you naked and throw you out. Then we will see if Brian’s guards would listen to his soon to be Luna or his mistress”.

Her eyes widened in shock as she clenched her fist, foaming in anger. “I will make sure your moonlight ceremony never takes place. You will never be his Luna”. She yelled before storming out of the house.

I finally broke down in tears. Hardly believing the man I trusted could treat me like this. Returning to the bedroom, I wiped my tears and took my phone.

Booking a flight back to my home. The same home I had abandoned because of an arranged marriage. By tomorrow I will be gone.. from this place and Brian’s life. He can finally be with his true love openly.

My phone rang, looking at the caller it was Brian’s secretary.

“Yes”. I picked it up, trying to sound calm. I know she was about to tell me another piece of bad news. She never calls unless Brian has decided to leave me hanging again for his true mate.

“Hello, Miss Angela. Alpha Brian had asked me to inform you he won’t be available for the ceremony tomorrow. He had left for an urgent business trip and would be back in five days. So your wedding has been postponed”.

I nodded absently, staring out the window as the sun rose over the city. Five days. He wouldn’t find me by then. By the time he returned, I would be gone. Vanished from his world forever.
