Rejected Slave To The Alpha by Gory Anna

Chapter 67

Chapter 67.

Nelly’s POV.

“It’s just crazy, seeing you with someone who clearly doesn’t care about you,” he said, his voice pained and raw. “He only comes to you when he needs something, when he has a problem to solve. He doesn’t value you, and he doesn’t deserve you.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at his words, despite the seriousness of the situation.

“How does it feel, seeing your mate with someone else?” I asked, curious about his reaction. His eyes widened, confusion crossing his face.

“What does that have to do with anything?” he asked, his voice sharp.

For a moment, he looked at me, his expression unreadable. Then, he gave me a smile. that didn’t quite reach his eyes, a mask of false cheeriness.

“I’m in pain,” he whispered, his voice barely audible. “I’m in pain, watching her wait for this man who doesn’t deserve her.” My heart ached for him, his pain so raw and real.

“Why don’t you want to give up on her?” I asked, wanting to understand. He was quiet, staring at me for a while, and then I knew he knew the answer without waiting for him to talk. I chimed in. “The reason you can’t move on from her is the same reason I can’t move on,” I muttered.

“You can’t compare the two situations, Nelly,” he said, his voice tinged with frustration. “She doesn’t even know we’re mates. But in your case, Astel knew, and he still rejected you. Not only that, but he sold you out to another pack.”

His words hit me like a punch to the gut, and I felt my heart sink.

“Fine,” I said, unable to think of anything else to say. “Can we just let this matter die down?”

I asked, slumping back into my bed. I just wanted this whole ordeal to be over.

He let out a long, heavy sigh and reached out, taking my hands in his. We sat there in silence, unspoken words hanging in the air between us. I could feel the tension in his grip, the frustration radiating from his body.

I just couldn’t understand why he was so upset. He had his mate to worry about, why was he wasting his time trying to discourage me from being with Astel? I wanted to say something, but I couldn’t find the words. So we just sat there, the silence growing more and more uncomfortable with each passing second.
