His Mate, His Girlfriend (Love and Ellis) novel Chapter 7

“Love!” A deep voice jolts me out of my thoughts, and I turn around to see Luis. He was my best friend in the pack.

“Hey, you!” I smiled at him, and he pulled me into an embrace. I hugged him back before pulling away. Luis grew up good–looking with soft curls, mesmerizing eyes, sharp features, and just the right height. No wonder everyone in the pack fawned over him.

“I heard from your mother that you were home.”

“And why haven’t you been to see me,” I slapped his shoulder. He scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to say.

“I have no excuse,” he confessed, and I nodded.

Where are you going?”

Just taking a walk, I couldn’t sleep,”

‘Should I join you?” he asked. We walked around the pack. My pack was the largest in this region and one of the wealthiest. We have modern technology and skyscrapers.

“Love, is everything alright with you? You’re sad,”

“Yes,”

Luis doesn’t look convinced. He took my hand and led me to sit on a bench.

Love, how are you?” he asked, and I smiled, looking him in the eyes.

Luis, I’m alright,”

Luis repeated the question, and I frowned. What does he want me to say?

‘Us against the fucking mate bond,‘ Ellis’s words rang in my head,

‘Ellis and I broke up,” I told him. He looks shocked but collects himself.

‘I’m sorry. I bet it’s hard for you,” he said,

‘He found his mate and just couldn’t resist,”

Luis looks pained. “Am I in the wrong for hurting this much? He’s not mine,”

I feel guilty for crying and hating him because I shouldn’t. It wasn’t his fault.

But he slept with her before we could talk,‘ Vee said sadly.

No, not at all. It’s alright to be hurt. You loved him,” Luis took my hand in his. “Heck, you left home and your family to be with him,” he growled, now sounding angry.

I took my hand back from him and ran it through my hair.

“I’m so jealous of his mate,” I confessed with a forced laugh. I didn’t want to earlier.

“Ellis is such a wonderful man. He was good to me, and now, he’ll be good to her,” I forced a smile on my lips, but my muscles protested against it.

“You’ll be okay, I know it,” he said with the kindest of smiles on his lips. I sighed, resting my head on his arm. I wished I could be numb and wake up the next day without any pain.

Luis took me back home and hugged me before he left. I was on my way inside when I saw my parents on the veranda. They liked spending time together. A smile made its way to my lips as I watched them dance. They are so in love with each other, and for a moment, I saw a glimpse of Ellis and me in them, but my mom’s giggle jolted me as my father carried her in the air and twirled her around before he sat down with her in his arms. 1

Their journey to happiness wasn’t easy. Dad was the biggest asshole to Mom. They parted for months but still found themselves back to each other.

I approached them and cleared my throat, but they only noticed me.

“Hi, my lovely girl,” Dad smiled, and I kissed his forehead.

“Where did you go?”

“I just wanted some air,” They exchanged a glance, and Mom got off Dad’s lap. No, no. I’ve been avoiding speaking about this with my dad.

“Your mom told me what happened with Ellis. Should I kill him?” he asked casually, typical alpha Edward
