The Downfall of My Arrogant Mate

Amy's POV

I was laughing as I was watching a funny cat video on Tiktok. The cat was biting his owner’s finger as the owner pointed it at him while lecturing him about scratching his furniture.

I scrolled to the next video only to see a heartbreaking video. My laughter died down as my heart clenched.

My boyfriend of five years was with another she-wolf as they set off a lantern and it floated up into the sky.

He hugged her and she pecked his cheek as they grinned at each other. I recognised the woman as his best friend, Kelly.

How could William do this to me?

Today was a very special day for me; it was my twentieth birthday which meant that I could meet my mate today.

I hoped that it was William and if he wasn't my mate, I was going to take him as my chosen mate. That was what we had planned.

However, he had used mind link earlier that day to tell me that he had some more training to do, so he would be home late.

I had pleaded with him to come home early, but he insisted that the training was important because our Alpha, Alpha Mason had ordered him and a few chosen warriors to train for a classified mission.

So it was all a lie. It made sense now since I wasn't chosen for the mission even though I was a very skilled warrior.

Kelly was just an omega, so how was she better than me in William’s eyes?

I couldn't tear my eyes away from the video as it played over and over again.

“What are we going to do now?” My wolf, Cara asked me in my head.

“I don't know.” I muttered just as my phone beeped.

“Should I call him?” I asked her as tears started dripping down my cheeks.

I wiped away the tears as she answered me, “Yes, I want to see if we will feel the pull of the mate bond.”

“Even if he is our mate, I wouldn't accept him since he values another more than me.” I muttered as I drew in a deep breath and let it out.

Cara sighed, “If he is our mate, he will come to us.”

I nodded, “Okay, I'll call him.”

I leaned back on the couch as I logged out of Tiktok and went to my contacts. Scrolling through my contacts, I saw his name; my future mate.

I felt like crying again as tears pooled in my eyes, but I blinked them away.

I tapped on call and placed the phone against my ear.

He answered on the second ring and I heard his cold voice through the phone, “Amy, what do you want?”

“Are you done with training?” I asked him, feeling repulsed at his cold voice.

He let out a long sigh as if he was irritated by me, “No, I'm still at the pack house and we have a lot of training to do. I might not come home at all today.”

How could he lie to me like that? Was he even the William that I knew?

“But-” I started, but he cut me off.

“But what?! Is your birthday more important than the Alpha's mission?”

“How can you say that?!” I exclaimed as anger bubbled inside my chest.

I couldn't help, but add, “Your mission is just a lie! You're out with Kelly instead of being home with me!”

“Who told you that?” He asked with a hint of surprise in his tone.

I sneered, “If you want to know, check Tiktok!”

I didn't wait for his reply and hung up.

“He's not our mate.” Cara muttered in my head.

I felt pain grip my chest as I sighed, “I know. Will I ever have mate?”

Cara comforted me, “Of course. He will come, so don't worry.”

I stared at my birthday cake that was on the center table. I was alone on my birthday.

A small, sarcastic laugh slipped past my lips as I shook my head. I never thought that my birthday would end up like this.

“You've got me, Amy.” Cara reassured me.

I sighed, “I know.”

Fatigue weighed down on me, and I decided to just go to sleep. I was living in my parents house since they passed away, and William lived in the pack house with his parents since they were friends with the Alpha.

You would think that William lived with me because he was always in my house, but that was before Kelly came back into his life a month ago.

The Alpha had transferred her to a neighboring pack, the Dark Moon pack, to become stronger so that she would be promoted to the rank of warrior.

The Dark Moon pack had the best warriors, so that was why he made the transfer.

I made my way to my bedroom, changed into pajamas and climbed into bed.

However, as soon as I did, I heard our Alpha’s voice boom through mind link, “Everyone in the pack should avoid going out tonight since a rogue attack has been sited at the border of our city. Those that are outside should go back home now!”

“Yes, Alpha!” I answered him along with the other pack members.

I had felt like going out for a run in wolf form to feel better, but I couldn't do so now.

“Just shift into your wolf form, you will feel better.” Cara murmured in my head.

So I shifted into my wolf form and felt like I could finally breathe again. I fell asleep as I wondered if I was ever going to have a mate.

“Open the door for me, Amy.” I heard William’s cold voice in my head.

His voice awakened me from my sleep and that made me groan.

Kelly has been tearing William and I apart since she came back, and he let her.

There was a time that she called him at 4:00am, and even though we were in the middle of making love, he picked up her call.

She said that she saw a spider in her room and she was too afraid to kill it, so she needed him to do it.

We had a big fight that day.

After the fight, he bought me chocolates which I loved so much, and it made me feel like he loved me, so I easily forgave him.

What would he do now to make it up to me? I wouldn't accept anything from him.
