Chapter 54
Luara's POV
I stood there in utter confusion as to why Melinda just opened the door to my mate's house in nothing but a large t-shirt and reeking of desire with the overwhelming smell of my mate's scent.
I was so shocked that I literally stood there staring at her as she stared back at me with a conceited smirk. Almost trying to rub in my face that it was her in my mate's house and not me which had my wolf clawing inside of me growling to come out.
I was interrupted before I could say or do anything by the one voice that I didn't want to hear.
"Mel, who's at the door?" Bryan questioned, and suddenly the door was pulled further open, with my mate on full show. Standing there in a pair of boxers, his muscled chest on full display.
When he noticed me a look of surprise and guilt shined through his eyes. He opened his mouth to talk but I launched myself at Melinda before he could say a word, throwing her to the ground with me following after.
Punch after punch, I repeatedly pounded my fist into her face. Showing no mercy or humanity as I allowed my wolf to fully take over and control the situation. My wolf was in an uncontrollable state, all she could smell was our mate's scent lingering all over Melinda.
The thought of this sent my wolf into a frenzy, all she desired at that moment was to have blood dripping from her canines.
I was screaming and shouting incoherent words that I couldn't even understand as I refused to show compassion and forgiveness toward her.
I was roughly pulled from Melinda being forced to stop my relentless attack, but not without making sure that I yanked a large amount of her red hair in my grip as we were pulled apart causing her to shriek in pain.
Anger flashed in my eyes as I looked up to see who was holding Melinda away from me. My mate had his hands on her waist as he demanded that we stop fighting.
I felt stupid and embarrassed as I watched my mate reassure her instead of me and after everything we have been through, he decides to cheat on me with the person I hated most.
I shook my head and pulled a look of utter hatred and disgust at him before turning away, shaking myself out of the tight hold one of Bryan's wolves had on me.
I walked down the front steps as calmly as I could, trying to keep up the fake façade that everything was okay.
Refusing to cry, I walked at a fast pace toward the trees in the direction of my father's territory.
I needed to show Bryan that I was strong and content with my own self that I didn't need him. I knew my wolf would be mourning the loss of her mate, but I wasn't about to let him think it was acceptable to be unfaithful.
I wasn't going to run, I had control and I wasn't going to let him know that this situation was getting to me, that this was hurting me.
After everything that had happened between us, I couldn't be more repulsed by him.
He was supposed to be my soul mate, the person I was meant to spend the rest of my life with. Something that he had just so carelessly destroyed, and he even had the audacity to give Melinda a nickname.
I ignored the sounds of Bryan's thundering footsteps as he chased after me, shouting my name in his alpha tone. I almost laughed at the audacity of him thinking he could start shouting demands after everything he did. And I most certainly wasn't about to stop and listen to whatever excuses he would lamely come up with.
I continued to walk in the direction of my father's territory, too focused on walking away, I was suddenly yanked by my arm and compelled to face an angry-looking Bryan which almost made me laugh at the nerve of him playing the pissed-off card.
"Just wait a minute," He lowly growled, with a slight plead.
"Melinda and I are nothing-"
"Oh, really Bryan? Just go back to your Mel and leave me alone." I said with disgust and desperation, I didn't want to feel the sparks his touch alighted in me.
I wanted him desperately to leave me alone, but I could do nothing but shove at his chest as he repeatedly tried to get me to look at him.
"Just listen to me." He ordered, slivering his hands up my neck and forcing my eyes to directly look at him.
"I don't want to know Bryan, just leave me alone!" I shouted as I try to push him away from me, only to have him pull my body to his bare chest. Holding me tightly to him, refusing to let me go.
"Let go of me!" I cried as my fists began to pound against his chest. Tears welled in my eyes as I continued to fight out of his embrace, unable to listen to his voice and incapable of being in close proximity to him.
My efforts of pushing him away failed miserably as he only held onto me tighter. My anger and sadness only boiled as I pounded harder on his chest. "I even took a pregnancy test today," I sobbed.
"I hope you and Melinda are very happy together." I said bitterly as tears streamed down my face.
His body froze undermine as those words left my mouth. Grabbing me by the shoulders, he lifted his left hand to cup my cheek and tugged my jaw gently to face him. Forcing my eyes to his.
"Are you?" He questioned intently, his gaze penetrating mine awaiting the answer.
"It doesn't even matter anyway, you've got Melinda now." I said defiantly, not wanting to give him the answer he so desperately craved.
Bryan growled irritated at my stubbornness and defiance as his eyes continued staring powerfully into mine, and I was scared to look away.
"Tell me." He whispered softly, with an alpha order slipping through.
After a few moments of silence, I answered.
"I'm not." I whispered hoarsely with my lips trembling. I was worried about what his reaction would be, whether he would be furious or sad about the discovery. I wasn't sure why I cared about how he felt, I guess it was due to the strong mate connection we shared. No matter how much he hurt me, I'd still love him which angered me to no end.
Bryan didn't say anything only replying with a stern nod. Although his eyes deceived his body language portraying his true sadness and dismay.
I didn't say anything as he put his head in the crook of my neck, taking deep inhales of my scent to calm his wolf to settle his composure.
I know I should have pushed him away but my whole body was telling me to stay and I couldn't fight the impulse to leave my mate's arms. The whole thing made me furious and I soon found the will to exit his embrace.
Bryan loosened his hold on me, but he didn't allow me to leave his arms making sure I was within arm's distance at all times.
Who would want to stay with a man that had cheated on them? Lied to them and purposely tried to get them pregnant without discussing it first. Who could really question me, on why I constantly wanted to run away?
"I know what you're thinking Luara but it's not the way it looks. I'm totally innocent in this situation an-"
"Innocent?" I repeated, giving him a look of disgusted disdain.
"Don't even try to justify yourself. I know what I saw." I said with as much strength as I could, trying not to allow my emotions to get in the way.
"There is nothing going on between Melinda and me whatever she told you is not true."
"Oh yeah? Just like you didn't try and deceive me about wearing protection?" I questioned sarcastically.
A low growl emitted from the back of his throat and he ignored my comment, "She came round and attempted to come on to me, but I pushed her away. Unfortunately, the reason why I'm standing in my boxers is because I literally got out of the shower when she barged her way into our home and into our bedroom."
"Why would she be coming around to the house? Why did she tell my father that she had found her mate in this pack? Why would she say all this, if it wasn't true?" While saying this I thought about my and Melinda's relationship over the years, maybe she was doing this to aggravate me as she tried during high school.
"She's been in love with me for years. Her father and my father were friends, they both wanted us to mate. They wanted Melinda to be my Luna, something I have refused for years. All my wolf and I have ever wanted is our true mate which is you. No one else, but you." His voice was serious and his eyes were begging me to believe him.
His words made me feel jealous, the thought of him with another woman especially her had my blood boiling with pure rage.
"Then why were you holding her back and not me, you were looking after her. "I asked, still upset with the way he acted after I had attacked Melinda
"I wasn't holding her like that, I couldn't care less about her. The only person I wanted to protect was you, I know what she's like she'd attack you like a coward the moment your backs turned. I also wanted to make sure she didn't make a run for it." He said while allowing me to read his thoughts and allowing me to feel all his emotions making me positive that everything he had said was true.
He stared deeply into my eyes as his voice turned dark and said,
"She's currently sitting in the pack prison, and the moment I get back is the moment she dies."
