An Enemy Called Mate

TANIA

Nikolas touched my hands, causing me to glance back at him. His green eyes flashed lovingly at me, and I forced a smile on my face. I didn’t want him to be worried.

“I was so worried about you,” Nikolas muttered, and the sounds of footsteps receding echoed.

“I’m fine now,” I replied. He took my head and kissed it, “The pack doctor had a physical examination done, and thankfully, you weren’t hurt.”

“Hm, but what happened? I mean, someone broke into our room,” I questioned, with concern filled in my tone as I tried to sit up.

Hastily, Nikolas rushed towards me and he assisted me. He pushed a pillow to my back, as I rested on it.

“That was what I was talking about,” Nikolas spoke softly, and he faced me, “The pack is not safe now. You should return to Granelma Pack.”

I nodded, realizing that I should have obeyed him when he told me to not come to his pack.

“You are right,”

Nikolas sat on the bedside, as he held my hand.

“So do you plan to return to Granelma Pack?” He asked. The pitch of his voice was increased and his voice sounded a bit excited.

“And why are you happy about that?” I questioned, furrowing my brows. He paused, and blinked.

“Happy? Why will I be happy about that?” He spoke, with a grin on his face. Then, his hand reached for a strand of my hair and he placed it behind my ear.

“I’m only excited that you are not hurt.”

Sounds like a lie.

“Alright,” I faked a smile, and he pecked me on my lips.

“I will prepare a car to return you to Granelma Pack safely,” Nikolas spoke softly. He dropped my hands swiftly and rushed out of the room.

He is definitely happy about my departure! But why? I’ve been a very good mate, a submissive one to be exact. Is there something he is hiding from me?

Goodness, what if he doesn’t want me to be his mate anymore?

I shook my head at that thought. Nikolas will not dare to do such. He loves me, and my separation from this mate bond will cost him a lot.

Night dawned on my room quickly. Thankfully, Nikolas came into the room very early this time. Also, I ensured that I turned on the room’s lamps that brightened the room, to avoid the previous event.

I had changed into a revealing lingerie, and as soon as he walked inside, I approached him swiftly. But, he wasn’t paying any attention to me, like I didn’t exist.

“Is anything wrong? You look worried and annoyed,” I uttered, breaking the silence in the room.

“Nothing. Oh, yes! The car has been prepared, you will leave tomorrow,” Nikolas spoke hastily like it was an exciting thing for me to leave.

Am I a burden to him?

“I don’t understand you anymore, Nikolas. First, you return home very late at night… Let’s say that’s because of pack works. Now, you are not being attentive to me and it feels like you are eager to make me leave this pack.”

“Will you stop it?!” Nikolas snapped, startling me as my legs became wobbly.

“Stop acting like a child,” Nikolas yelled. He pulled the tie away from his shirt furiously, moving away from me. “All these years, I’ve known you as a rude, tough she-wolf, not this!”

“Not this?” My voice almost croaked, or perhaps it croaked. I didn’t care.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you mean by not this?” I asked. He turned around and exhaled.

“This is the reason why I broke up with Ziva. I do not want a weak she-wolf as my Luna or mate. I don’t even understand what made me mark you,” He spoke, his voice tinged with frustration.

I approached him, trying to make him recall, “The Moon Goddess can not give anyone the wrong mate. We are destined to be together, Nikolas.”

“Perhaps she was wrong.” I gasped at his response. How can he say such?

“Everything will be fine if you do as I say. Return to the Granelma Pack early tomorrow morning. Also, you should inform your parents that you almost got hurt, so I became worried and persuaded you to go.”

With that, Nikolas walked into the bathroom, without glancing at me. Oh, moon goddess, what have I done to deserve this?

I rushed over to the mirror to observe my appearance. Perhaps I do not look appealing enough.

Glancing at my reflection, I noticed that my body looked a bit bigger like I had become fat. Goddess, I missed my diet recently, and I’m this fat already?

I will need to meet my Omega tomorrow. I want an appealing slim figure for Nikolas, I really want my Nikolas back.

The sound of water rushing out of the tap paused, and I assumed that Nikolas would walk out of the bathroom. Just as I expected, he did.

But this time, he went directly to the bed and laid on it without glancing at me again.

I will do what he wants if that is what will strengthen our bond. I will leave tomorrow and do exactly what he said.

I woke up very early and crept away from the bed to avoid waking Nikolas.

I took my bath, applied more makeup, and used Nikolas’s suggested perfume. I recalled how he said the perfume made my scent inviting, as it made him long for me.

What can make this day better if not recalling his sweet statements?

My Omega sent some weight loss pills. She suggested that I use two pills, but I’m certain six will be good. I gulped the six pills in a go and ate a light meal.

Afterward, I and my Omega stepped into the car that Nikolas arranged. But, I forgot my purse. I rushed back inside to take it.

When I reached my room, I grabbed it. Then, the sounds of footsteps approaching and my name mixed in a discussion echoed in my ear.

Curiosity got the better of me. Instead of walking out of the room, I walked into my closet and hid in it.

The closet had see-through stripes so I could see who was discussing and hear what they were saying.

My gaze caught Nikolas’s inferior Beta, the lady who always seemed annoyed at my appearance. As soon as I saw her, my wolf curled, sensing that she had bad intentions.

“Finally, Tania is gone,” She spoke, with excitement brimming in her voice as her gaze analyzed the room.

Her gaze fell on my closet like she sensed me, then a smirk appeared on her face.

I hid beneath the clothes quickly, intending to stay hidden in the closet.

“Yes, but her scent is still in this room. It makes me want to puke,” Nikolas’s voice echoed, and a short laughter followed.

Nikolas will never say such about me. But, I recognize his voice, I can never mix his sweet voice with another man’s voice.

I raised my head to confirm and I took a peek at the room.

My gaze fell on Nikolas who chuckled, as he pulled his inferior Beta by her waist.
