The Alpha's Abused Mate novel Chapter 16

I hummed as I passed through the hallway smiling. I did a little spin before I continued walking. People stared at me with confused expressions, some were whispering but I didn't care at all.

I stopped at my locker and brought out my books.

''Hey''

I turned to my right, it was Jake

''Hello" I said "Lovely day, isn't it''

He chuckled

''You're in a good mood'

''Isn't it obvious?''

''Tell me, what's the secret''

''Yeah what is the secret?'' A voice asked

It was Rachel and her train. I groaned and closed my locker

''What do you want now?'' I asked

''Nothing. I just wanna know what could possibly make my sister happy. I want some of it too''

''I would love to stay here but Jake and I have to get to class''

''Who's...''

She looked at him

''Oh the cute new boy''

Before she could continue I dragged him till we reached our first class. We sat down at the front row

''What was that all about?'' he asked

''It's complicated trust me''

''So she's your sister''

''Yeah''

''You two seem very...''

''Different?''

''Yes that's it''

''I know''

A girl entered the classroom holding a piece of paper

''Carla?'' she called

Me? Why is she calling me name? I don't even know her.

''yes'' I replied

She walked over to me and handed me the piece of paper

''What's this?'' I asked

''A letter''

''From?''

''You'll see''

She smiled at me then left. I opened the letter

To the most beautiful girl in the world

I just want you to know that you're on my mind. I'm going to going to try everything in my power to make sure I'm the mate you've always dreamed of. I know it'll be hard to forgive me considering all the things I've done to you but just make a space in your heart to. I love you

From Damien

''Aww'' I said as I folded it and put it into my bag

''Guess you're in good terms with your boyfriend now, huh?''

I was so into the note that I forgot about Jake

''Yeah''

''So that means we can't go to prom together anymore?''

''He doesn't even know about it''

''You haven't told him?''

''No but I will''

''oh''

His face dropped

"Tell you what , how bout I ask him. If he says no we can go together as friends"

He slammed his fists on the table. Everyone's eyes were on us

''What does that make me? A rebound?''

''No. I didn't mean it that way''

''I will not play a second fiddle to anyone Carla''

He got up and left banging the door behind him
