My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 46



Chapter 46

"I'm going to go check on dad," Nolan said, grabbing a few extra things before he left. I was alone with

Mason. I knew Nolan set this up on purpose. Mason took me into the kitchen and sat me down on a

chair at the bar in the middle of the kitchen.

"Are you hungry? I made you a plate," Mason said, settling a plate in front of me. I stopped him as I ran Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

my thumbs over his cheeks.

"Stay still... I need to try something," I said gently. Hesitantly, I leaned forward until my lips were

touching his in a kiss. It was warm and gentle, but it wasn't like it used to be. It wasn't Elias' heart-

pounding, toe-curdling kiss. It was soft and comfortable, but it wasn't exhilarating. There were no

sparks, no breathlessness, no tingles. It was just a kiss...

Lips against lips.

I pulled away disappointed. My cheeks were wet with fresh tears.

"Why couldn't you be my mate?" I asked hoarsely with teary eyes. Mason sighed.

"Nova," he said simply as his thumb caressed my cheeks and brushed my tears away. But I could read

between the lines. He was saying the same thing. "I'm so sorry," he whispered as he pulled me into a

tight hug. A sob broke from my lips as I buried my head in his chest.

"It's not fair," I sobbed. He kissed my head and rubbed his hand over my back gently.

"Hey, no," he said as he held my face in his hands and made me look at him. His beautiful face was

blurred by my tears. "I don't care if you're my mate or not. I will always be there for you. I love you and

I'll always have your back no matter what, okay?" he said. I sniffled and nodded. I believed him. I cried

on his shoulder for a while until I was reduced to sniffles and the hiccups.

"I have to go back," I said with a hiccup. Mason only nodded slowly.

"He's your mate," Mason said in acceptance. He was agreeing with me and I knew it.

"I'll tell him when we go to get the first sonogram," I said softly. Mason kissed my head gently before I

got off the chair with Mason's help and went to look for my phone. I found it under my pillow. I sat on

my bed before I dialed Elias' number.

"Hello?" he answered on the second ring.

"Um, hi, Eli," I said nervously.

"Nova, I'm glad you called," he said in relief. I smiled slightly before I chewed on my lip nervously.

"So m-my first sonogram is in a few days. Do you want to be there?" I asked, getting straight to the

point.

"Of course I do, Nova. I wouldn't miss it for the world," he said. I found myself sighing in relief. I don't

know why I was nervous to begin with.

"Okay, I'll see you then," I said quickly.

"Was there anything else?" he asked. I hesitated. Was there? I could've told him that I was coming

back. I could've told him that I missed him and I wanted to be with him even though my mind was still

fighting it.

"No, I love you," I said instead.

"I love you too, cupcake," he replied, filling my stomach with butterflies. I hung up the phone and put it

on my dresser. I was anxious to see Elias again... but in a good way.
