She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 31

"Devina? Baby?" I heard a familiar voice call out and I suddenly felt calm and safe. "What did you do to her!?" He yelled and barreled towards Millie. Her bright green eyes widened and she held out a hand, a bubble of fire developing in it.

"Take another step and I'll kill your little mate." She warned Zane and glanced at me. Rage filled my whole body.

"You just threatened me," I stated and Millie rolled her eyes. "You. Just. Threatened. Me." I repeated and landed down on the floor.

"Devina," Zane carefully stepped forward.

"No!" I yelled and he went flying back, along with Millie. Only he got back up and Millie didn't. I snapped out of whatever trance I was in and stepped back away from everyone. "I-I'm sorry. I-oh my god is she dead?" Zane walked towards me but I stopped him. "No! St-stay away! I don't want to hurt you." His bruised face softened and he shook his head.

"You won't. If you just let me touch you, you won't be hurting me anymore." He replied but my eyes were fixed on Millie's body. "She's not dead. I can hear her heartbeat." He replied as we both walked closer to her. She might not be dead now, but she was close. I walked around to the other side of her body, so I wasn't too close to Zane and fell to my knees.

"She's going to die," I whispered. I could feel it. Zane took a deep breath and without hesitation, he plunged his hand into her chest. "Wha- Zane!" Red liquid oozed out as he pulled out his hand, along with Millie's heart.

"I killed her. It was me." He finally spoke and cleaned off his bloody hands. "Devina. Please come back to me." He spoke

"Just reject me, Zane. Get it over with." I sighed and closed my eyes. "Just do it!" I yelled when he didn't say anything, but when I opened my eyes he was right there in front of me.

"I, Zane Gunner," I closed my eyes and a tear fell. "Look at me." He demanded and I did what he wanted. "I, Zane Gunner accept you Devina Stavros as my mate." He held my head in his hands and slowly pulled me forward. "Our first kiss was in our dreams." He laughed. "Well, our first shared kiss." He added and I blushed. "I've dreamt about this for awhile now." He looked down at my lips and pressed his against them. I didn't respond, so Zane pulled away. "What do I have to do Devina? Say sorry? Sorry for what?" He took a few steps back and looked up at the ceiling. "You aren't you anymore."

"You're right," I said before I could control myself. "So just leave." I flung my arms up in the air and dropped them back at my sides. "Just leave," I yelled making him flinch. "You don't want me, Zane! Why would you want me!? I'm weak!" My body yelled. This wasn't me. I had no control over what I said or did. "You just want the power don't you Zane?" My body laughed, tilting its head back. "That's right I know." Something isn't right. Someone is inside of me, controlling me. "When you mate with me, you get power. Or with anyone for that matter. You just get more power if you mate with who you're meant to be mated with." It smiled and Zane just looked at us with wide eyes. "Well guess what, I Devina Stavros re-" Zane lurched forward and pushed us to the ground.
