The Mate I Can't Have 0027.
Niylah’s POV "Is today your birthday?" Henry asked again, but I could only stare at the door, wondering how Alex knew it was my birthday. I raised my gaze, and it met with Henry's eyes. I quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact. I wondered when he had started taking an interest in my daily life. "Is today your birthday, Niylah?" Liam's voice proclaimed, and I nodded gently. "Yes, today is my birthday." A gasp fell from Xandra's mouth. "But how on earth did Alex know about that?" Xandra asked. I raised my brow. "How did you know?" I asked Alex. He looked away, as if I had asked him a difficult question. "I just found out on your phone... your mom wished you an advance birthday," he replied. I nodded simply. "Are you sure Nova was the one behind all this?" Henry brought up. I nodded gently. "I see," he said, stroking his jaw with his palm as if thinking about something. He pulled out his phone, typed something I couldn't see, and then raised his head. "You caused the whole
The Mate I Can't Have 0028.
Henry’s POV I stepped on the gas, my tires screeching as I sped out of the driveway. Anger coursed through my veins, my mind racing with thoughts of Nova and how she had hurt Niylah. I knew I had to confront her, but I also knew she wouldn't agree to meet me alone. That's why I had called Hilda, asking her to meet me at a nearby bar with Nova. As I arrived at the bar, I spotted Hilda and Nova waiting for me outside. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down before getting out of the car. Hilda smiled as I approached, but Nova just looked at me with a mixture of fear and defiance. "Hey, Henry," Hilda said, as I hugged her briefly. "Nova and I were just catching up." I raised an eyebrow, looking at Nova. "I'm sure you were," I said dryly. We went inside and grabbed a table, ordering a round of drinks. “Did you perhaps tell Ivory about our meet up” I asked with a raised brows "No, I didn't," she said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "But why did you want to meet me and
The Mate I Can't Have 0029.
Nova's eyes widened in terror as she gazed around the dark room, her mind racing with fear. She struggled against the ropes binding her wrists and ankles, but they only seemed to tighten, cutting into her skin. Her breath came in short gasps, her chest heaving with panic. Memories of the previous night flooded her mind, he remembered Henry's angry face, the man who had dragged her away. She remembered trying to fight back, but her movements had been slow and clumsy, her senses dulled by the alcohol. She tried to speak, but her voice was barely a whisper, her throat dry with fear. The man of the previous night loomed over her, his face a blur in the dim light. Nova's eyes fixed on him, her pupils dilating with terror. "Where am I," she whispered, her voice trembling. "Let me go," she added her gaze searching around. But the man just laughed, the sound sending shivers down her spine. "Who are you?" she demanded. "Why have you brought me here?!!!" she shouted, her voice echoing off
The Mate I Can't Have 0030.
Henry’s POV I sat down in bed, staring at my phone with a mix of emotions. My finger hovered over the screen, hesitating over what to do with the video. I had a change of heart, deciding not to delete it, but just as I did, the door swung open. My finger slipped, and I accidentally clicked delete. My eyes widened in shock as I realized what I had done. The video was gone. I turned to face the door, ready to lash out at whoever had interrupted me. But when I saw Niylah standing there with a plate of cake, my anger dissipated. "What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to sound calm. Niylah smiled and raised the plate. "I brought my birthday cake." I raised an eyebrow, confused. "You brought it here?" "Yeah, I did," Niylah replied, walking towards the bed. "You looked like an hungry lion when you entered, probably you were hungry." "I'm not hungry."I scoffed. "Well, I brought it anyway” she chuckled and drop the plate on the bed. "Do you think I deserve the cake?" I asked my

Niylah's POV I woke up with heavy eyes, stretching my body like a maid who had walked all night. I stared around the room, realizing I had slept in Liam's room the night before, while Liam slept in the sitting room. Alex had gone home, despite my pleas for him to stay overnight. He had refused. I stared at the small portable desk beside me, and my smile beamed from my lips to my ears. Alex had given me a new phone yesterday, a phone I wasn't even expecting. I picked up the phone, staring at it. I hadn't started using it yet, as it hadn't been registered. I stood up from the bed. Today was Thursday, the last day of lectures for the week. Friday was a holiday for everyone in the department. I had no idea what to wear, knowing I had to go to class by 8 am. Going back to the hostel now was like stepping on a tail. I heard the knock on the door and went to open it, ending up being Xandra. "How was your night's rest?" she asked, and I beamed heavily. "Was good," I replied with a smile.

My eyes darted between Henry and Liam, waiting for one of them to explain what happened. Their cries grew louder and more intense. I watched in shock as Henry slid to the floor, tears streaming down his face, with Liam following suit. Their uncontrollable sobbing left me feeling increasingly curious and concerned. Xandra broke the silence. "What happened?" she asked, as we walked towards them. I wanted to touch Henry but hesitated, unsure how he would react to my touch. But with their extreme reaction, I knew something grave had occurred. I gently touched Liam's shoulder. His tears seemed to flow even harder. I then touched Henry's shoulder. He looked up at me, our eyes locking as tears continued to stream down his face. He tried to speak, but his emotions overwhelmed him. Despite everything he had done, seeing him in such distress filled me with pity and sadness. The door opened, and Alex entered, his expression somber. He glanced at Henry and Liam before biting his lip, clearly st

She hugged me for what felt like minutes before finally releasing me, her hands lingering on my waist as she explored my face. "You are so damn pretty," she said, her gaze switching to Henry, who stared down, sucking his lower lip hungrily. "Son, you've waited a long time to meet your mate. I'm glad the moon goddess blessed you with a beautiful one," she complimented, her eyes shining with happiness. I could see how thrilled she was, and how unhappy Henry was. She must have been eagerly anticipating meeting her son's mate, unaware that her son was a jerk who had rejected me without a second thought. "Mum," Henry raised his head, but his mother wasn't looking at him. She only raised her brows, her gaze fixed on me. I tried my best to put on a smile to satisfy her gaze. "I'm sorry," Henry apologized, causing both his mother and me to turn to him, unsure what he meant. "Sorry for what, son?" she asked, walking towards Henry and holding his hand. "I know you're sorry, son. You're sorry

"Are you sure of what you're saying?" Catherine asked, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and sadness. I nodded in confirmation, and she stood up, her eyes blazing with fury as she fixed her gaze on the door. A knock sounded, and she walked over to check who it was. To my surprise, it was Henry. She slapped him immediately, her hand cracking against his cheek with a loud smack. Henry held his cheeks, his eyes wide with shock and pain. "Mum!" he screamed, his voice cracking with fear and desperation. But Catherine slapped him once more, her face twisted in anguish. His cheeks turned red, and his eyes filled with tears. "How dare you?" Catherine asked, her voice rising to a deafening crescendo. "How dare you reject your mate and then rape her? You fucking raped her?" she yelled, releasing the tears she had been holding. Her body shook with sobs, and her face contorted in agony. I wondered why she was crying. Was there something behind what I told her that I didn't understand? I f
