My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 25

"I don't hate him; I'm just scared of him, or more accurately, I'm scared of what he'll do and who he'll

hurt to keep me with him," I tried to explain, gaining more control over my body by the second.

"He's been searching for you his whole life, you know. Taylor and I found each other the moment we

shifted and were able to detect our mate. Elias, being an Alpha, was starting to lose hope that he even

had a mate, or that you were even alive. He's 27 years old. Normally, if one of us doesn't find their

mate by 25, especially an Alpha, they pick a stand-in mate. They choose someone to be with to keep

from going mad from loneliness," Minnie explain. That had me curious.

"Elias didn't choose a stand-in?" I asked a little hopefully. Minnie hesitated, which gave me my answer.

"He did, actually. Her name is Kendra. You've probably even seen her a few times. You have to

understand, as an Alpha; Elias had more pressure on him to have a mate. He needed a Luna. He

chose her. She's headstrong and beautiful, but then again, so are you. But at the end of the day, you're

his mate. He loves you," she tried to reassure me. I tried to push down the feeling of jealousy bubbling

up, but it was too strong. I felt angry. I saw dots swimming in my vision before everything went black.

I barely remember those two weeks. All I remember was the unbearable heat, ice baths, and Minnie

trying to force-feed me. I was probably permanently winkled from all the ice baths. Finally, it ended. The

heat was gone.

I woke feeling sore and groggy. All I could remember was the burn coursing through my veins.

"There you are. Feeling better?" Minnie asked me. I groaned and nodded as I held my head. I was

probably dehydrated. I had a pounding headache. Minnie must have been thinking the same thing

because she handed me a bottle of water. I gratefully chugged it.

"Where are we?" I asked confused. It occurred to me that I didn't actually know where we were.

"Far away from the house on the boarder of the pack's land," she answered. "If you're ready, the car is

packed up," she offered. I nodded and stood slowly. I noticed I was sore and exhausted. My whole Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

body felt like I’d just run a marathon. She helped me to the car before we drove away. My fuzzy brain

didn't remember it taking so long to get to the cabin, but it was a good two-hour drive back to the

house. I walked in feeling tired and drained. I knew I didn't owe him anything but I felt like I needed to

see Elias. At first, I ignored them, then my body acted on its own. I was confused myself. I pushed

open the door to his office without knocking and froze. Elias was kissing on some girl's neck. She

giggled in his lap. When I walked in, they both froze.
