The Alpha’s Mistress (TAM SERIES) novel Chapter 6

Jenny

Desperately in love, that was me — he left after spending three sexual nights with me. After giving me everything I needed, starting from food, clothes, and a good embrace and pleaded with him in bed as if we had known each other for too long. However, he indeed took something precious from me in return, which was my heart. It was the only thing I owned and I was supposed to have control over it. After these passionate long nights and after tasting the love and how to be pampered and treated like a real she-wolf, I felt like I was ripped off, he was going, and I wasn't sure how I would feel about that.

I was confident we were mates, but he had his Luna! He was already married, and I had no chance. Even so, he had no mate — I would still have no chance to be mated to him. He was the Alpha, and who was I? Nothing! I had no idea about myself.

At least, I lived for three days; I would never forget about it. It was more like heaven, a dream I would never expect that it might come true; but it happened.

As soon as he woke up and kissed my forehead saying his goodbyes, it was evident the dream was about to find its end. The aches found its way to my chest; my eyes looked at him for the last time. I made sure to kiss him a very long kiss as if I would never meet him again.

I was lucky; he offered me an excellent opportunity of staying in the lake house forever. And he told me that he would come from time to time to be with me as friends. That was the toughest and the harshest ever. He Didn't know that his word destroyed me in just a second as if he pulled away from my crown that he had gifted me — although it wasn't a real crown. It's just the way he pampered me in bed, that was like giving me a crown. He pulled away from me the hopes of being with him forever. It was helpful because I had to come back to the ground and accept the reality. He would never be mine, and I would never be his.

He looked as if he had to go; he looked as if he missed his Luna. He didn't give me a second glance before saying at the door, "my Beta will come every week to give you food, clothes, and money. If you need anything, just ask him," he plainly said, as if we didn't kiss, we didn't make love; as if he didn't touch me or snuggled to my chest.

I felt bare; I felt poorly treated this time even though he didn't abuse me. Even if he was so kind to me. The mating bond he just decided to ignore as if he rejected me made me feel like real trash this time, more than any other moment from my past miserable life.

I smiled and pulled myself together, asking him, "when would I be able to see you again?"

He blew a deep sigh and opened the door and just stated, "I don't think we are going to meet again. But thank you for these amazing nights."

And I felt my heart drop to my feet. I couldn't stand. I thanked God that he had left because I immediately knelt to the floor and cried intensely and heavily. I thought he would at least come back but his words were in a serious tone as if he had made his decision already.

I thought of getting out to the forest and searching for my father. Then, I decided to stay longer; maybe he would come back.

I hopelessly waited for him and days and nights became longer, and the loneliness killed me.

Alpha Zachary

I felt like a fool sinking in her love. The bond between us distracted me. I just decided to go back to my castle and my Luna and stop being selfish and irresponsible. I convinced myself that everything would be fine only by touching my dear Luna. I convinced myself that it was only a fling and nothing more.

I didn't know that by being next to my Luna, I would realize what I didn't ever feel previously, which was — my Luna wasn't the right mate for me. I made a mistake! How the hell had that happened, I had no idea? Maybe because my Luna was so beautiful and we were so close. Perhaps because she seduced me?

Honestly, I hated everything that happened that night. And the next night and after that.

For a whole week, after returning to my castle, I checked on Luna's health. I never usually slept next to her. She instantly snuggled to my chest, "please sleep next to me. You were away for three days already."

I nodded and took off my clothes, "okay, but no touch, no sex. You're still sick." I told her about my condition. I really was worried about her.

She smiled, excited, "okay, just hugs."
