My Mate’s Betrayal

My Fault

ISAAC'S POV

—

I sit in my office , watching the sun come up as I blankly stare out of the window . I overwatch as the troops come and go in shifts .

I had them track everything between our pack and her old one , but they have come back empty handed and no hope . Someone knocks on the door and I groan out in annoyance . "Come in !" I growl lowly and the door flies open and my mother enters . Can she just go away ? I don't need her positivity . "Hi honey ." She mutters cautiously . "How can I help ?" I ask as I let out a deep sigh and she pouts at me . "How are you holding up ?" She asks , her concerned voice annoying me . "How do you think ?" I snap . "Isaac ." She gasps . "Mom , leave ." I grit out , pinching the bridge of my nose . My eyes burn as my body hurts . "They will find her ." She sounds so positive , but my hope has left my heart hours ago . "I shouldn't have listened to you and dad ." I grit out . The number I had called to trade for my parents have disconnected and now I have no contact with the people who has my mate and I hate that I listened to my dad .

"Don't say that , we have warriors that will find her ." My mother argues . "They couldn't even find you and Josie !" I growl , my anger bubbling like boiled water . "Are you sure you didn't see anything ? Smell anything that could help ?" I ask , but it felt more like I was pleading with her . "Son , if I could tell you anything , I would . But there was wolfsbane everywhere and we couldn't recognize the smell of anything and we were blindfolded ." She shakes her head disappointingly .

This is all my f*****g fault .

"I'm going out there ." I grit out as I walk towards the door , it was like a lightbulb going on above my head , I have an idea . "Isaac , you're tired . You need sleep ." She grabs my arm , tugging me back . I rip my arm from her grip , "She is my mate and I am going to look for her ." I grit out angrily , I could feel my eyes flicking bright . " I will sleep when I find her ." I mutter . She gulps as she nods , "Fine , just take warriors with you ." She pleads , looking so concerned but neither my father or Sean has offered help now that they have their mates back .

"I will ." I grit out as I head down the stairs .

I mind like some warriors and told them to meet me outside in front of the pack house .

As I open the door , I notice in the far wolves come together towards the pack house .

I don't hesitate , I strip out of my clothing down to my boxers . Focusing on all my energy , I begin to shift . I could feel my bones begin to break and shift into position , my eyes begin to glow bright yellow and I began to sense things around me and see everything clearer . I stand on all fours , my brown main blowing lightly as the breeze glides over it . Shifting since sixteen makes the pain of shifting fade over the years .

"Let's find my mate ." I growl as the warriors circle me , they all bow before shifting and the sound of snapping bones echoes through my ears .

They all growl before I take the lead and charge into the forest .

JAX’S POV

—

My phone rings for the billionth time and I bite down on my teeth as I ignore my best friend and alpha's call . He's such a needy little alpha , it is annoying as f**k .

I hurriedly push the ejection button on the toaster , cursing under my breath as I almost burnt the toast . I pull it out off the toaster , blowing the heat away with a breath before dropping it onto the plate . I butter the warm bread , making it melt upon the surface and it makes the toast soft . She likes it like that , I watched Alison a million times as she crunched the crusts as she butters her toast .

She likes it so much that she even eats it just like that without anything else .

I freeze as I hear the sounds of her chains clinging together , smiling as I put the avocado spread onto it . It's tastes horrible , but she loves it so I made sure to go get some .

I put everything on the tray and I walk out of the kitchen to the bed . "I made breakfast ." I chime , putting the tray on her lap as she sits up in an upright position . Her eyes glance down at the tray before her stomach slightly grumbles . "I'm not hungry ." She mutters as she looks away . She is so stubborn .

"Your stomach says otherwise ." I point at the tray . "And isn't it your favorite ?" I ask . Her eyes uncomfortably drag back to the food , her stomach growling again . "You might have poisoned it ." She shrugs , averting her eyes to me . "I can take a bite to prove you wrong ." I shrug , reaching for the one piece of toast with avocado on it . I can not believe that she thinks I would poison her , I would never hurt her in my entire life .

"Fine ." She scoffs , her face holding no emotion before she starts to eat . Her face instantly relaxes at the first bite .

"See ? If I wanted to kill you , I would have already ." I joke , but she doesn’t smile . My phone buzzes in my pocket and I inwardly groan before pulling it out .

"f**k sakes ." I mutter

"You can get that if you like ." She shrugs , but I know better and decline .

"Eat up doll , I need to go ." I mutter as I sit down and send my alpha a text .

Me : Be right there .

I notice how he reads the message and he does not reply , leaving me be .

That’s what I love about Aaron , he blindly trusts me .

"Then go ." She shrugs .

"I need to clean up after you doll ." I raise a brow at her .

She rolls her eyes and continues to eat .

After she's done eating , I clean up and I head back to the pack where my needy alpha awaits for me as I enter the pack house .

My whole body wants me to stay , to spend more time with her , but I can’t risk Aaron asking unnecessary questions .
