Rejected but still desired

Traitors blood

Ethan POV:

I woke up to an empty cold space in my bed. Selena had left and I wasn't sure where to. I did feel hurt that she left so early without waking me. I looked at the time, it was seven so that means I could see her for breakfast. I mindlinked Ro to get Selena to bring me my breakfast. There wasn't a response but Ro was like that.

I got up and stretched before going to brush my teeth and freshen up. I wanted to impress her in anyway that I could. I still needed to tell her that we are mates. Once I was done, I heard the door open and excitedly walked out. Instantly, my face fell. It was Alice, carrying a breakfast tray and smiling. "What the f**k are you doing!?" I growled, I felt so embarrassed and vulnerable at the unexpected intrusion. She seemed taken aback, "your mom asked me to come spend the morning with you," she said quietly. I rolled my eyes at her, "where is my servant!?" I demanded and I saw anger flash across her eyes, "last I heard," she said as her face hardened, "she was leaving all cosy with the new guest, what's his name again?" She smirked, "Raze," I growled and she scoffed. "I honestly don't know what you see in her," said Alice as she now looked at her newly manicured nails, "she is so plain," she commented nonchalantly, "better than her being a w***e, excuse me." I pushed past her, leaving her standing there stunned and fuming. I needed to find Selena. Why was she with Raze and was Alice lying about them being close? She smelled like him last night, no. She reeked of him! The conclusion, instantly made me fume. I needed to put an end to this before I lose my mate.

I stomped through the halls, trying to locate her scent. Where was she? "Ethan," called my mother, I turned to look at her annoyed, "what do you want!?" I snapped. I needed Selena. My mind was racing with ideas and images of what was happening right now. Was she dressed in another revealing dress!? I couldn't take this!

"Ethan!" Scolded my mother at my attitude, "what is wrong with you!?" She growled angrily, "where is Selena!?" I growled back and she looked taken aback. She quickly tried to compose herself, "she is with Raze, he is a guest and he req-" "I don't give a f**k if he asks for the moon!" I shouted and I didn't care that people had stopped to watch the scene that I was creating, my mother growled and grabbed my arm, pulling me away. I pulled away from her grip and she growled and grabbed my arm again, "I will explain in private," she said through gritted teeth, "this is not the time or place." After that, I realized the way people were looking and if they didn't know Selena was my mate before, they certainly knew now.

My mother pulled me into an empty guest room and slammed the door. "Ethan! I do not appreciate the way that you disrespected me out there!" I felt so bad, I had definitely disrespected my mother, all because I was on edge about Selena. "Selena is your mate isn't she?" Asked my mother, her face was composed and I couldn't read what she actually felt. I felt extremely vulnerable and needed her to be okay with this, I nodded. "How long have you known?" She asked and I sighed, "since my birthday." She nodded as her face revealed that so many things were starting to make sense. "You need to reject her son," said my mother gently. I was shocked by her words and did not understand, "what do you mean!?" I exclaimed, my voice raising in panic. "Look, I can't say much but Selena is a traitor to this pack, traitors blood runs through her veins and when she figures out who she is, she will destroy us." My mother walked over to me and put her hands affectionately on my shoulders like she always used to do, "but Selena- Once she sees we're mates, we can forgive and forget." My mother laughed a deep hearty laugh that made me jump a little, "she is a demon son. They don't forget. She won't get a wolf, you will see on her birthday she will be wolfless and her demon powers will come to the surface and when it does, she will destroy us. Demons cannot be reasoned with." I was shocked by her revelation, "it can't be true..." She pulled me into an embrace, "I am sorry son, what you are feeling isn't real. As an Alpha you are drawn to her powers and that is all." She kissed my forehead as I tried to deal with my confusing feelings. I am or was so sure that she is or was my mate. What is going on?
