Don't Leave Me, Mate (by AlisTae) novel Chapter 37

Ava was frightened by his actions. While bending down to her, Ian placed his knee on the bed.

He grabbed her throat, causing her to tremble inside.

“W–What are you doing?” she asked.

As he looked at her terrified face, he scoffed. He moved his gaze away from her face and toward her body. “Do you think I will do something to you? “He paused and motioned his hand to her body before continuing, “This body can not seduce me.”

In the blink of her eyes, all the fear from her washed away. Her heart was filled with anguish as a result of his words.

Tears streamed out of her eyes. She could feel her body becoming numb. She could only feel his grip on her neck, which was not that firm.

But his words were enough to stab her heart.

Fate was playing a very tough game with her. It made a playboy her mate, who did not think for a day and rejected her. Then, when she tried to move on, he came to her and talked about how ugly she and her body were.

“It’s not my fault. It’s not my fault,” she mumbled repeatedly.

He frowned at her, tightening his grip on her neck.

She closed her eyes. Tears kept rolling from her closed eyes.

“Stop crying. It won’t work on me,” he said angrily.

In truth, he did not like her tears. He was just angry with her because he was getting close to another man.

“It’s not your fault, Ian. I am to blame for the fact that I was your mate. You are an Alpha who thought his mate would be someone high–ranking wolf who could stand next to him.” Ava paused as she tried to talk; instead, her neck was gripped by him.

Ian’s hand froze on her neck. Hearing her, his grip loosened

Despite the fact that her eyes were closed, she continued.

“You believed that someone who was extremely gorgeous and stunningly beautiful was your mate. I sincerely apologize for not being able to be that girl. I sincerely apologize for sabotaging your opportunity to find the ideal mate for you. Because of me, you had to reject your mate.”

She slowly opened her eyes. She had no idea that her eyes had turned a deep blue like the ocean.

“I am tired of your humiliations. Can you please set me free? Because whenever I try to get a backbone against you, you break me the next moment. I am tired of telling you that I do not want your attention. I just want to n on with my life. Can you please remove me from your life and behave like a stranger with me? I would love to do the same.”

Ava could not help but pour her heart out to him. She knew that if he wanted, he would never let her live peacefully. So she was left with no choice but to submit to him and demonstrate that he had won.

She thought he would insult her more.

But to her surprise, Ian let go of her neck and moved away from her.

He turned around to the window and said,

“Leave,”

His cold voice brought the room’s temperature down. She jumped out of bed and headed to the door.

She sobbed as she opened the door. She walked out of the room without looking back at him.

She was about to rush to the stairs when she noticed Stephen approaching.

He looked at her and asked,

“What happened to you?”

Ava lowered her head and replied, “N–Nothing. I am leaving now.”

Stephen was caught off guard by her hoarse voice. He was shocked when he noticed fingerprints on her neck.

“Who did this to your neck?” he asked with an enraged tone

Ava glanced at the room by turning her head, but then shook her head. She moved her hair to cover her neck and mumbled,

“N–No one. Bye, Stephen.”

“Wait, let me take you home.”

Ava raised her hand to stop him. “Abigail will drop me. Don’t worry.”

Saying that Ava left the floor.

Stephen was furious after witnessing Ava’s condition. He made his way to the room where Ava was looking a minute ago. He noticed that the door was already open.

He stepped into the room and paused when he saw Ian.

It made him mad. He had told Ian to stay away from Ava; then why did he do that to her?

“What did you do with her?” Stephen yelled at Ian. (1)

Ian turned around and saw Stephen approaching him with an angry face..

“I am not obliged to answer anything.”

Stephen stopped in front of him. “You are. She came here with me. I promised her that you would stay away from her. Why did you go to her again?”
