The Mate I Can't Have 0031.
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

Niylah’s POV I was trying to get the whole talk out of my head, like why would Henry care for me? Why is he suddenly acting strange? I sat down on the couch, my hands rummaging through the contents of my cross bag while my gaze remained fixed on the floor, thinking of how to appreciate him. He doesn't even look like someone waiting for my appreciative message. He looks so serious with his phone in hand, as if he's arguing with someone. Liam and the rest were also seated, each with their phone. I'm the only one who seems not to have a phone among them. Alex had gotten me one earlier, but I hadn't registered it, so I couldn't carry it along. The house door rang, and immediately, Catherine stepped inside, her eyes bulging out of tears. I wondered if she still went to cry more wherever she went. She looks surprised to see Liam and the rest sitting, they all looked up to greet her, but she was only staring at them without answering. "Liam!" She screamed, getting Liam flinched on his ph

Niylah’s POV I I thought it was all a lie until Catherine instructed Xandra to take me on a shopping trip for clothes. Now, surrounded by the multiple dress scattered on the floor, I felt exhausted. I couldn't believe this was happening now or if it was just a dream? I pinched my cheeks, hoping it would hurt and I would wake up from my dream, but it was fruitless. I only groaned in pain, I was still in the same scene of my life. “Why the pinch?" Xandra asked, setting her phone aside and focusing on me. "It feels like a dream, doesn't it?" I asked, my brow furrowed in confusion. "In what aspect?" Xandra inquired. "Everything! Why is Ma'am Catherine being so nice to me? Why the sudden trip? Why am I included?" I rapid-fired my questions, seeking clarity. "Of course, she'd be kind, you're Henry's mate, her only son," Xandra replied playfully. "But he rejected me!" I exclaimed, shocking Xandra. "But he could still feel the mate bond," Xandra countered. "And that's it? How is th

Niylah’s POV Henry deepened the kiss, his hands roaming around my body. I wanted to push him away, but I craved him more and found it hard to do as my mind had requested. He suddenly stopped kissing me and buried his head in my hair, his hot breath filling my neck. His hand remained on my waist as he inhaled loudly. "I'm sorry, I trespassed again," he said, his voice low and husky. I blinked repeatedly, getting back to my senses, and quickly pushed him away as I ran out of the room, heading to the dining room. Everyone was already seated, and their eyes seemed to fall on me immediately as I stepped inside. The room was filled with the savory aroma of roasted beef and steaming vegetables. "Niylah," Xandra called, her eyes on me as if trying to read my mind. "Did you pour cream on your cheeks? Why are you so red?" she added, her voice laced with amusement, and I touched my cheeks to confirm. They felt warm to the touch. "I...I...it was..." my voice stammered, unsure of what to s
The Mate I Can't Have 0038.
An uncomfortable silence filled the air as we exchanged glances. Catherine and Xandra looked more shocked, being the only ones unaware of the situation. Henry's scream made each of us flinch in fear. "Is that the truth?" Catherine's voice erupted from the back, and Liam nodded gently, his white eyeballs turning red. "Ivory is your mate?" Xandra asked to confirm the scandal, and Liam nodded again, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes to his cheeks. I stared at Henry, whose gaze had turned a creamy red due to the high rate of screamed tears cascading like a sea on his cheeks. I was clueless about what to do, as everything seemed so complicated. "I'm sorry," Henry's voice broke the silence that loomed between us. His gaze was fixed on the floor. Axel returned from the balcony, his expression hard to read. Why had he told Henry? Was it because of me, or was he just helping Henry? "You don't have to be sorry; I was the one who kept mute," Liam tried to play it cool, but h
