His Mate, His Girlfriend (Love and Ellis) novel Chapter 6

I feel nostalgic when I land in the Golden Stone pack, my father’s pack. I left this place when I was sixteen years old but still came to visit on every holiday. I took off my sunglasses as I descended the plane stairs, and the first one I saw in my line of vision was my mom, Caliana Meyers Chasia. She looked breathtaking.

My baby!” she exclaimed in happiness, waving at me, and I rushed towards her, throwing my arms around her.

”

‘Mom,”

I pulled away from her, and she took off my sunglasses.

“I missed you, baby,” she said, smiling at me, and I kissed her forehead.

“Mom, we spent last summer together,” I chuckled. This woman was never satisfied with spending an entire summer with me. She always wanted me by her side.

“I thought you’d be here with Dad,” I said, noticing she had come alone.

‘Your father is working. You know him,” she linked our arms as we entered the car.

Caliana is not my biological mother. She is my father’s mate, but she has treated me like her own since the day she came into our pack when I was four. We’ve had a strong bond, and I greatly appreciate and love her.

So, any gossip for me. I feel like we don’t talk as much as we used to,” I told her.

‘That’s all because you never answer my FaceTime or calls,” she complained.

It was twice, and I was busy!” I knew she wouldn’t let it go.

Now, dish,” I said.

“Well, your uncle Marcus and Selena are having a fourth baby, another boy,” she giggled. It is no secret that they wanted a girl. I’ll tease them about it. “You should have seen their faces in the gender reveal. They couldn’t even mask their disappointment,” she said, showing me pictures of the baby’s gender reveal. We laughed about it.

“I think they’ll keep trying until a girl comes,” I said.

She said, “Yes, and Marcos and Elaine moved back to the main city from the district.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know, they just go there for work these days,”

My mom and I didn’t go home immediately. We went to a restaurant by the coast to have lunch. I was forcing myself to forget what happened, but it was futile, especially now that Ellis was calling every minute, so I blocked his number.

My mother must have seen something in my eyes because she held my hand gently and looked at me as she did when she wanted me to confess something to her. I felt bare under her warm gaze, and I tapped my thigh with my hand. I do that when I’m anxious.

‘Oh, sweetheart,” I felt my face get wet. I closed my eyes and could hear the sound of water around us.

Ellis found his mate,” I said softly,

Oh, baby,” Mom whispered, squeezing my hand. I opened my eyes to face her.

“I’m sorry, Love, I’m so sorry,” she hugged me warmly.

We headed to the manor, and my mom held me the entire time. I appreciated that she respected my decision not to talk about the issue. Once we hopped out of the car, I forced a smile on my lips. My mom

warned me that most of my family was there to surprise me.

Do I look fine?” I asked her, and she smiled sadly, fixing my collar. Opening the door, everyone screamed welcome home, and I smiled at them. My three aunties, siblings, and cousins were there.

Athena!” I exclaimed, spreading my arms to my now almost teenage sister. She hugged me.
