Elenora's POV

"Thought I told you to stop coming up here." A voice says, making me roll my eyes. It was 6am in the morning, and I was already bring provoked.

"And I thought I told you that I don't care what you say to me." I say, sipping my coffee.

"You're such a piece of shit."

"Well then I guess I'll be the best shit there is." I say, mentally cringing at my weak comeback. It's 6 in the morning, I shouldn't even be going back and forth with this asshole.

"Whatever you are trying to do with my brother, I suggest you stop right now." Alfonso says, bending to tie his shoes. "I saw you two last night."

My eyes opened instantly.

"I'm sorry, who are you?" I ask, giving him a once over. I had to stop my wolf from drooling because I was not in the mood to flaunt over this inconsiderate, incompetent fool.

"You don't get to tell me who or who I can't mess with. I like your brother. And unlike you, he's really nice and actually has a sense of common decency." I say, taking a stand to his already huge frame.

"Leave my brother alone." He says, a slight growl to it. My wolf was taken aback, shocked at his rudeness.

"Or you'll what? Kill me? I dare you." I say, gritting my teeth. "Don't forget who stood up to you in that rink."

"That was a one time thing. Killing wasn't allowed." He says simply, making my heart drop to the bottom of my stomach.

"You..." I say, at a lost for words.

Such simple words caused yet so much pain. The slight jealousy that my wolf detected from him was ignored and the only thing she focused on was the threat her mate had sent to her.

Not even bothering to reply, I quickly take up my water bottle, jogging down the hill with unshed tears.

...........

"And y'all kissed? Honestly, I'm not surprised if he asked you to be his luna." Renata says, the sound of yet another chip being crunched in her mouth.

"Don't say that. Remember he's not the only mate that I have." I say, handing one of the trainees a bottle of water. "You're looking great out there!"

"Sounds like training the little rookies are going great." She mentions, another crunching sound.

"It is." I conclude. "Connor? Your form is lacking!"

"Yet, but does it matter tho? Honestly, fxck him Ele, he doesn't deserve you, nor does he want you. He made it obvious."

On accord, my heart breaks, making me close my eyes tightly as of that would do anything to stop the ache in my heart.

I tried to ignore it. The whimpering of my wolf at the thought of her fate bond mate never accepting her ever.

But, my ignorance allows me to swallow it down, and I force a smile on my face, holding the phone tighter in my hands.

"You're right. Thanks Ren."

..............

"What're your intentions with Alfonso?" A voice asks, startling me.

I drop my clothes on my bed, turning around to be met with the voice.

Staring back at me was Fling.

"Of course." I mutter, forcing a smile. "I have no intention in being with your man, don't worry."

"I'd like to hope so." Fling says, leaning against the door frame. "I know you're his mate and everything, but I was here first."

I roll my eyes.

She's not being serious right now.

Fling was about to take a step further into my room but I lift my hand up, stopping her from doing so.

"Listen, we're not gonna do this, okay? Not the 'oh I've been with this guy since forever and you're not gonna come along and ruin that' type of thing. It's not scary, nor is it cute. Save us both the time and just go on about your business." I say, grabbing my shirt as I begin to fold it.

Fling smacked her red lips together, smudging her lipstick a little.

"Alfonso? is my business. And I don't want you in there. You may not want anything to do with him, but your wolf sure does. And I don't care if you choose Nicolo alone, your wolf will still want the other half of her mate. Whether you decide to ignore him or not. And when that time comes, I need you to not be in his business."

"Not you telling me what to do?" I chuckle sarcastically, grabbing another clothing of mine.

"If that were to happen," I say, stopping my folding attempt and side eyeing her. "Which it won't. I have every right to do whatever the fxck I want. Because guess what? It's my life. My decisions. My feelings and most importantly, my mates."

Fling was visibly getting furious, her skin slowly getting red.

"Besides, what're you gonna do if I get both of them? Fight me?" I laugh once again. The joke was too goddamn funny. "Let's not kid ourselves now."

In one quick movement, Fling was in front of me, her eyes shooting daggers at me.

"No, but I'll make Nicolo hate you." She whispers, smiling.

As if she just accomplished something.

Like that was supposed to get me.

I sigh.

"And how do you plan on doing that?" I asks, stopping my folding process for what felt like the fifteenth time now.

"Put it like this-" she stops to put her finger on her chin, faking to think about what she was to say.

"Whether you decide to choose one or not, it won't work. Yes, you have two mate's, but these two men? Want one thing for themselves. So if you were to ever choose Alfonso in the end over Nicolo, that'll break his heart. And he'd hate you."

I blink once.

I never once thought about that.

"Good thing I'll never choose Alfonso. Which is why I'm saying again. He's yours. Now, get out of my room." I say, looking her up and down blankly.

"I'm still watching you." Fling says, stepping back slowly. Her heels allow her to trip and fall, making me stifle a bit.

She quickly scurries out of my room, closing the door behind her.

On accord, I drop my sweater that I was trying to fold, and plop myself down ok the bed.

What if Fling was right? Would I ever choose Alfonso over Nicolo at some point? How would I be able to break it to him? How would I be able to do that?

I was beginning to accept the fact that Alfonso would never want me. But, what if I wanted him? If I choose Nicolo over him, what would happen then?

Would I have to reject-

No.

I close my eyes.

I didn't want to think about that right now. It was too painful to even imagine that.

Deciding to ignore my thoughts I continue with folding my clothes, my feeling of concern turning into numbness.
