My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 27

"Then why the hell am I here?! You say you need me but you obviously don't. You have Kendra. You

always have, right? You took me from my family, you hurt my boyfriend, you threaten the life of the

people I love and put me through hell and for what? To claim you do everything for me? If that were

true, you wouldn't have slept with her! You bit me; you put me through this hell and did whatever the

hell you wanted in the meantime. I want to just go home and pretend none of this ever happened. I

hate you, Elias Madsen... I really do," I sobbed. I regretted my words as soon as I said them, but at the

same time, I meant it somewhat. I hated Elias for what he did to me... but I didn't hate him, even as

much as I wanted to. I was hurt. Elias froze and just stared at me. A look of pain crossed his face. I novelbin

knew I hurt him too, and a part of me wanted him to know how I felt... but the larger part ached with the

thought of hurting him. It only made me mad at myself. I grunted and puffed out a breath.

"I hate feeling this way. I want to hate you. I want to claw your face out and leave and never come

back, but I can't. You and this stupid mate bond," I ranted. "I, Nova Moore, re-... reje-... God, I can't

even say it anymore. Do me a favor and put me out of my misery. Let me go home," I asked. I hated

that I couldn't even bare the thought of leaving him. I didn't want to feel like this anymore.

"Nova, you're being ridiculous and emotional," Elias said, dismissing me.

"Am I, Elias? You chose Kendra before you met me and you still do apparently," I said. He shook his

head.

"No, I choose you," he argued. I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down in sobs again. I turned away

from him and started walking away.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Home," I said over my shoulder.

"You don't know where you're going," he reminded me. I only shrugged and kept walking. I walked

towards the trees and quickly found myself lost, but I didn't care. I just kept walking. Eventually, my

crying eased and I stopped. I just stopped. What exactly was my plan? Get lost and hope that I

somehow find my way home? It was getting dark. I sat against a tree and sighed.

"I'm sorry," I heard from in front of me. I looked up in surprise to see Elias.

"Have you been following me this whole time?" I asked. He only shrugged.

"You didn't think I was going to let you wander off by yourself to get lost in the woods, did you?" he

said, sitting across from me. I sighed and leaned my head against the tree. I just couldn't catch a break.

"Elias..." I said. I wasn't sure what I was going to say. At this point, I was just tired.

"I know I shouldn't have... done what I did with Kendra. It was stupid of me and you're right. That's not

how mates are supposed to act. I know that nothing I do or say will change what I've done. You are

everything to me, and I do chose you, Nova," he said. I sighed and closed my eyes, giving up.
