His Mate, His Girlfriend

Chapter 70

What do you mean?”

He didn’t stop walking as | followed after him. He was careful to use routes where there were no guards. How did he know the manor so well? | wondered.

What do you mean?” | asked, pushing his back to get his attention. Maleck abruptly turned and hurled me into a wall, almost knocking me out cold. | winced in pain and lazily opened my eyes to look at him.

Listen, it is none of your f uking business. Keep asking questions like this, and I'll snap your neck myself!” he hissed eerily. He dropped me to the floor, and | stayed down. | needed to find out what Maleck was planning. | couldn’t let him harm Ellis. | stayed on the floor for a long time, only getting up when a drunk David bumped into me.

“|

What happened to you?” he burped, sta ggering, but he caught

himself. | extended my hand to him, and he pulled me up. *

Why are you drunk like this?” | questioned him, skimming around. | couldn't let anyone see him like this. | took him to a private room on

the first floor and helped him get a little sober.

| bent down to put the water on the bedside table when he grabbed my waist. He settled me between his legs, and my gaze went down to his lips and then his eyes. His lips were enticing, and | swallowed.

‘I could kiss those,’ | wondered when Fox would show up. | rolled my eyes at her.

‘Don’t roll your eyes at me!’ she scolded. ‘You were thinking it too,’

11

Drink more water,” | said to distract myself from my thoughts of kissing him. David refused the water.

“What does Ellis have on all women?” he asked, slurring. | ignored his questions, and | forced it down his throat. He gurgled and spit it out.

“You didn’t answer me,” he said. | thought he’d let go of the matter.

1

Why are men so hell-bent on being with Love Chasia?” | asked. He was taken back a little and looked into my eyes again.

H

She's beautiful, intelligent, and superior. But most of all, she’s just so loving and kind. It’s alluring, | guess,” he pointed out. Love was everything | wasn’t. While | wasn’t ugly, | wasn’t on the same level of magnificence as Love Chasia.

My height was 5’5ft, which might be tall among other species, b was short compared to the glorious Lycans. Love had bright blue eyes, while mine were a standard brown.

11

Has someone told you that your eyes are gorgeous? They resemble chocolate... | like chocolate,” he said. No, no one told me that. | felt my cheeks burn, and | could tell they were pink from the burn.

“You're beautiful... Charlotte,” he said sternly, his eyes locked on mine. | didn’t know if it was the alcohol speaking, but he sounded genuine, and my heart raced in my chest. | longed to hear those words from Ellis, but | didn’t hear such expressions from his lips, not

even when he was f ucking. | stared into his eyes, allowing a smile on my lips, but | cleared my throat and took a few steps back.

“Let's go. Love shouldn't see you like this, or you'll lose points with her,” My voice was stern.

“She ran off,” he said, a little hurt. David got up but soon fell on the bed. | grabbed his arm and dragged him out to his car. | drove him to his suite at the Casino since | didn’t know his home address.

GET IT NOW

It's Always Been You

Love

Suddenly, it became quiet, and warmth returned to the area before | felt a rustling of leaves, and my heart leaped in my chest. | turned my gaze and noticed Ellis’ impressive lycan appear from the forest. | felt fury rush through me, and | turned my face away from him.

| heard him shift into his human form. He took a tentative step towards me. | so wanted to glare at him, but | didn’t want to look at him... My eyes would venture to his rippled body.

Hey, Lovely girl,” His lips moved lower and pressed against my back in a kiss. Something within me stirred to life.

She just came unto me, | swear,”

Vee,” he called. My lycan snapped at him, and my eyes immediately inspected him. He looked delectable, and his skin glowed under the

moon.

‘You don’t owe me an explanation, Ellis. You can f uck whomever you

want,’ | snapped.

“|

Nothing happened between Charlotte and I,” My heart raced at the sincerity in his voice.

‘Why are you telling me this?’ | kept my voice indifferent.

Because | love you, and | want to be with you. | don’t want you to

think | am still with her,” he said. | was surprised he’d say that so

casually.

‘Well, did you reject her?’ | asked, and he shook his head. Looking hurt. | rolled my eyes, it’s five years ago all over again. He couldn’t reject her because her wolf was a weakling and would die. | should

accept that he’d never reject her! She'll always be the woman he can’t get away from.

“| will the next full moon when the mage gets here, | promise,” he said. | frowned. Ellis involved a mage? He didn’t want her to die.

‘Ellis, this is-"

t

Ascream erupted not far from us, and Ellis and | shared a glance before we both took off to the sound.

Lying on the ground under a huge tree, twenty feet from us were two young adults, a boy and a girl. They were lying in a pool of blood, with their throats ripped open. The boy’s lifeless eyes peered lifelessly towards the girl, lying next to him. | touched the bodies, they wereThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Their bodies are still warm,” | looked up to Ellis who was busy mind- linking.

“Whoever did this is still in the area,” his voice was chilling and low.

Go, I'll be fine,” | assured him. He was hesitant to leave me alone after a murder, but he knew I could take care of myself. Go, | mouthed him, and he was gone in a flash. Ellis was incredibly fast for hie

Coming. So is help,’

The girl’s breath was slow. | tried to comfort her, but | doubted she heard me.

“You'll be fine,” | assured her. Her amber eyes were terrified. Ellis was back, and he got on his knees, assessing the young girl. 2/5

“Where the f uck is the team,” he growled.

The patrol and paramedic arrived in the clearing in three minutes. | was given a sweater to wear. | watched as Ellis shouted orders to his men. He was furious that this happened within his borders, and no one noticed.

“We don’t know how this could have happened, Alpha,” A man with an extremely large build said. He was of high rank in the pack.

“| want to know who did this, and want them caught,” Ellis all but growled.

Paramedics put the body of the boy in a black body bag and loaded it into the ambulance. The girl wasn’t too stable. | heard the doctor say it was a 50/50 chance. She lost too much blood, and her wounds were serious.

Ellis stood to the side talking to his men, and when our eyes met, he dismissed them and walked towards me.

What happened in the clearing was a scary situation. | can’t imagine being in the shoes of their parents. It is the worst news any parent could receive.

“|

You good?” Ellis asked, putting an arm around my shoulder as walked away. | nodded. | cast my gaze on my bl oody hands. Ellis, before you came to the lakeside, | felt like | was being watched, “I told him.

Ji

Why didn’t you tell me,” he growled.

“4

Don’t be mad at me, please,”

He took in a breath, ” Baby, I’m not mad at you. I’m worried, it could have been you hurt or killed,” he said gently, noticing | was emotional.

Could it have been a rogue?” | asked quietly. Rogues were outcasts

in our world. They had no packs of their own because others were banished for crimes or lost their packs to wars. Rogues had no anchor to an alpha or pack, so they lost their sanity and relied on their animal instincts. However, a few were strong enough to live happily amongst humans.

“| don’t know. The scent was concealed,” he answered my question after a moment. Only a few shifter could hide their scents as it was a difficult thing to do. So whoever attacked those kids must be strong.

We discussed the attack for a while, and the rest of the way, we went back in comfortable silence. Ellis was mind-linking. He would have a busy night ahead. Rogue attacks weren't uncommon amongst shifters, but never this close.

We arrived at his home, and a sigh left my lips.

“4

‘It's going to be a long night for you. We should go,” | said, and he nodded.

Everyone came out to see us off. David already left when we got

back, and so did Charlotte. Luis and the kids were already by the car after they said goodbye to CC and the rest of the family. | was the last to get in, but before | did Ellis grabbed my wrist.

Our gazes locked, and he caressed my skin gently.

Butterflies bounced around in my stomach at his touch.

11

Love,” his deep voice gentle and se xy.

It instantly appealed to me. | couldn’t help but glance down at his lips before meeting his sterling grey eyes.

“Yes,”

“Love, it’s always been you... Invariably,” he said as he kissed my

cheek.

My heart thundered in response, and he heard it. Ellis smiled slightly and scrutinized me in the depths of my eyes.

Have a lovely night,” My voice came out in a whisper. Not looking at anyone else, | got inside the car, and he closed the door. | let out a breath | didn’t know | was holding and rubbed my chest.

‘It's always been you,’
