Falling in love with my Ex's Alpha Chapter 55

***Kaiden***

The park is impeccably beautiful. It's totally different that it looks like another place. When Jason told me that Katie had prepared everything with the help of the pack members, I didn't know what to feel.

Troy was immediately proud of our mate, she is an amazing Luna. I can't disagree with him. The place is looking like something out of an enchanted fairy tale.

The pack is different, the pack members are different, they are happy, and they are showing it. The normal thing is for everyone to celebrate our victories in their homes. Nobody celebrates together like that, at least not before her.

Until then, I didn't know how much the pack wanted this kind of communion. Several warriors came to talk to me, they said they were happy with all this, and of course, many didn't even come close to me, I know they are afraid of me.

The few who dared to come and tell me how much they were enjoying the party only got a nod from me.

I don't know what to say in this kind of situation. I didn't expect any of this, either. To be honest, I'm more confused.

She hugged me so happy when she saw me, but immediately, she ran off with Jacob and didn't want me around.

Why did she plan all this?

Why did she refuse to talk to me afterward?

I was about to reveal to her that she is my mate. I didn't understand her sudden change. When Chad mindlinked me, wanting to know if I was going to tell her after she ran away from me, I could only shake my head, I had no words to say that I couldn't tell her at that moment.

It didn't seem like the right thing to do at the time.

When he insisted on this subject again in the car, I just replied that I would tell her when I got to the pack. When I found out about the party, I decided to tell her here at the party, but she still hasn't shown up, and I'm starting to think she won't come.

🐺 🐺 🐺

After a few minutes, which seemed like hours because of my anxiety, she finally appeared. My heart immediately started racing at her presence, and everyone started greeting her. With a smile on her face, she answers everyone back.

Jacob is beside her like a protective dog.

I hate this guy.

Even though he's Jason's mate, I still can't accept the fact that he lives with my mate. He can take advantage of her.

She finally saw me in the crowd and came towards me, but her look was different from earlier. Her eyes were puffy and a little red... Was she crying?

She sits in a chair next to me, and I struggle not to put her in my lap.

"You came! I thought you weren't coming anymore," I say, managing not to show my smile at her and trying to hide my nervousness.

"And did I have a choice?" She whispers but in a cold tone that I haven't seen before. She's not like that.

There's something wrong.

"That's hurtful," I respond with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. Even though she treats me with indifference, I'm glad she came.

Fuck, I'm just happy she's on my side. I don't care about her mood. Whether she wants it or not, she needs to be on my side according to the contract. At least until I told her about our mate bond.

"You've transformed this place, my little kitty," I tell her.

Fuck. Am I calling her *mine*?

"Not your little anything," she answered, sounding like an angry kitten.

Ah, that's where she's wrong.

Now I'm upset. Who else would she be? She is mine. Mine.

I didn't mind her indifference until I realized how angry I am getting, I don't like her that way. If she's going to treat me badly, I hope she's prepared to be mistreated as well. I always bite back.

"Are you tired?" I ask, I want to know why she is like this.

"Yes," she replies with a disgusted look at me. Why is she treating me like this?

"Just get used to it. It's going to be like this for the entire tournament," I reply gruffly, even though inside, I'm worried about her.

'Stop treating our mate like that,' Troy growls at me.

"You don't need to talk to me. Stop talking is gluten-free, you should add it to your wolf diet," she says, and I widen my eyes in surprise at her response, but she doesn't stop there, she continues her speech that only I can hear. "Well, you never eat anything, so it doesn't make much difference to you, does it? You probably don't even know what things taste like."

This time, I didn't have anything to say to her, I'm just shocked by what she said. She doesn't realize how cruel it was, or she does, since she saw my reaction and looked happy; it felt like a trophy she was aiming for.

I stay quiet. I am still lost in my thoughts, looking like a cat ate my tongue, but it was precisely my kitty that ate my tongue.

Once I cared about her, I fucked up.

She turns her eyes to the party in front of us and waves her hand at some people, laughs at others, while my angry face is stamped, preventing any proximity to other people.

I let my feelings get the best of me and forgot about my main goal: The throne.

I can't lose myself in this process, even if I don't tell her about our mate bond, I still need to focus on the tournament. That's why I decided not to say anything to her so I don't make the situation worse.

But if she wants war, I declare war.

I like a good battle, you can ask anyone, I'm the best here.

I just hope the prize is her.

'You idiot, If you're going to treat our mate fucking bad, I don't want to be around.' Troy retreats in me, he doesn't accept any mean thoughts towards Katie in any way.

Sometimes, I wonder which side he is on, but I already know the answer.

On her side. Of course. He is always on her side.
