Not Ready For My Mate novel Chapter 84

"Like old times huh?" He says to us, when he's done building his version of a 'fort'. We smile softly and nod our head. We crawl over to our side and lay down. We close our eyes and fall into a dream-less sleep.

Izzy's POV

I never thought that in a million years that I'd be able to kiss Theo. His lips were so soft against mine. I still remember how they felt against mine. There I was thinking that he was trying to hurt me, but in actual fact he was trying to get me to admit my feelings for him. Sure it was a stupid plan but just the thought of him trying for me makes me smile.

When he kissed me like he did, I felt like I was on Cloud 9. Not only did he kiss me, but he confessed his feelings for me. I am most likely the luckiest girl in the universe. He's willing to be with me, the girl who is to weak to fight against anything. The girl who cries for every mean word thrown at her. The girl who was rejected by her mate. Mate...

Theo has a mate out there somewhere.

Why was I so stupid! I didn't even think about that. Sure Theo says he likes me now, but when he finally meets his mate he'll leave me. Gosh, why didn't I think of that before I talked to Beau. I don't regret what I did, but now I'm a mateless wolf and the guy who I like will soon find his mate.

I felt bad for glaring at Theo after that fight with Beau, but I needed him to leave so I could talk to Beau. I knew what my decision was, and I wasn't going to let go of it.

Flashback

"Theo stop!"

He eventually did stop, releasing his hold on Beau's leg and moving away from him. Why did Beau have to ruin such a beautiful moment between us? It was so perfect, just thinking of it made me blush.

Still, it doesn't give Theo the right to hurt Beau like he did. The way Theo looked at Beau, that I'm sure if I didn't stop him, he would have killed Beau.

"Please Izzy..." He whimpers out, not looking at me. I can see a tear sliding down his face but he quickly wipes it away. I can feel my own tears wanting to fall, but I know that I have to be strong.

"Beau, you'll find someone else to love. Sure we were mates in the beginning but we both know that we just weren't meant to be. I'll still always love you, just not in the way you want me to. You'll still always be my best friend, and I know better than anyone that you'll be a great Alpha, with an amazing Luna to rule by your side. It's just not going to be me." I say softly, sitting down next to him. We both don't say anything for a while, just let it soak in.

"I do regret it you know." He mumbles softly, looking over at me. I smile sadly and nod my head. I see the regret, I saw it even when he was hurting me.

"Alright, just get it over and done with please."

"I, Issabella Nyxs, accept your rejection."
