His Unwanted Mate novel Chapter 14

He was wearing a pair of nice pair of dark wash jeans and a gray button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His gold eyes were focused on me intently. He was still sexy.

Dylan and Kylie were asking me what was wrong, worry evident in their voices. I couldn't answer them, I was frozen in place. His eyes were locked on mine.

My head was first filled with confusion, then anger, and then fear. Fear of what he would do to me. The last time I saw him, he hit me.

He made a move towards me and I did the only thing that I could think of.

I ran.

I sprinted out of the party as fast as I could, leaving a confused Kylie and Dylan. I dodged people walked on the sidewalk as I ran. I heard Leo calling my name as he ran after me. I knew that he was faster than me, so I took every turn that I could.

I saw another place I could turn coming up, so I immediately ran to the right. I cursed when I saw that I had ran into a large alleyway with a dead-end. When I turned around to run out of the alleyway, Leo was there. My eyes widened and I immediately started backing away from him. He cautiously started walking towards me.

"Eden," he breathed. He took another step towards me and I glared at him, growling.

"Stay away from me," I growled. He stopped, holding his hands up in surrender.

"Eden-" he started, but I growled again. He paused before speaking again. "Eden, please, come home with me," he pleaded. I narrowed my eyes, before I started laughing.

"Why the hell would I come back to a pack that treats me like trash?" I asked, glaring at him. What surprised me was the regret that I saw in his eyes.

"I know, and I'm sorry. I could have stopped it and I didn't. Please, I need my mate back," he said.

"Your mate? You lost the right to call me that the second you hit me," I growled at him, pure hatred in my eyes. He flinched from my words, but I didn't care.

"I know, and I'm so sorry. I don't expect you to forgive me, but if you won't come back for me, come back for your parents and Jaxon. They think that you're dead. We all did," he said. His words made me pause. I hadn't thought about how me just disappearing would effect my parents and Jaxon. Before I could speak, Dylan and Kylie ran into the alleyway. The froze when they saw me and Leo. Confusion was clear on their faces. They didn't know that Leo had been my mate.

"You aren't my brother. If you were my brother, you wouldn't have treated me so badly like everyone else. If you were my brother, you would have protected me," I said coldly. He flinched from my words, but he deserved it.

"Eden, come on, let's get back to the pack house," Dylan said, tugging on my arm which made Leo growl. I glared at him.

"She isn't going anywhere with you," Leo growled at Dylan. They glared at each other. I sighed in frustration.

"Stop! Dylan, I'm going back with Leo. I need to see my parents," I said. Dylan looked surprised by my answer.

"Your going back with him?" He said, using venom when saying the word 'him'. I nodded.

"They think I'm dead. I have to see them and I've really missed them," I explained to him. He seemed to be debating what he was going to say before he sighed in defeat.

"Alright, but I don't want you to go," Dylan said in defeat. He gave me a hug and I immediately wrapped my arms around his waist. Leo growled as we pulled away and I glared at him again.
