All Chapters of mate or love?: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Dad grabbed my wrist, pulling me up to stand. As I looked into his eyes, he suddenly slapped me hard across the face.“I never thought you could do this to us,” he spat, his voice filled with anger. “You’re just like your mother.”I raised my head, stunned. “What?”He looked at me with pure hatred. “Yes. Just like your mother, Lauren.” His voice was sharp, each word laced with venom. “She had an affair. She betrayed me, just like you betrayed Violet. That’s why we buried her alive in Elijah’s garden. But before she died, she cursed Elijah’s father and me. The only one who can break that curse is her own blood---- you.”I felt the ground shift beneath me. My mother… had an affair? She had betrayed her mate? My breath hitched, my heart pounding as shock paralyzed me.Dad grabbed my shoulders and shook me. “And now you have done the same thing!” His voice cracked with fury. “I hated your mother for what she did, and now… I hate you too. Get out. I don’t want to see your face ever again.”

EMMAI looked at him in shock and asked, "What did you just say?"Thomas stepped closer, his lips just inches from mine. I felt a little intimidated, but his proximity had an intoxicating pull that left me dazed.He leaned in, his breath fanning against my lips as he whispered, "Baby girl, tell me… do you believe in wolves?"Before I could respond, he placed a finger on my lips. "And don’t lie to me. I don’t like lies, and trust me, they don’t suit a pretty girl like you."His closeness made me nervous. I instinctively placed a hand on my shoulder, then pushed him away, flicking my hair as I said, "I think you need to keep some boundaries. And as for wolves, let me tell you—they're just a myth. A grown man like you should know that."I turned to leave the car when his voice stopped me in my tracks."You’re the wolf, aren’t you?"My breath hitched. I spun around, my face etched with shock. "What did you just say?"Thomas smirked. He grabbed my hand, pulling me flush against him. "Don’t

ELIJAHI was sitting in my office when I felt something strange. My heart pounded, and suddenly, a loud voice echoed through the air."Alpha, look what I got for you!"What the hell is going on? I immediately rushed downstairs, and the moment my eyes landed on Emma, the world seemed to stop. She was standing there, looking at me with a confused expression—like she was seeing me for the first time.Emma looked completely different, like a new version of herself. My heart wanted to run to her, pull her into my arms, but my mind was at war with me. I wanted to kill her.Without thinking, rage consumed me, and I lunged toward her."How dare you step into my mansion again!"She looked terrified, but my anger burned hotter. I wanted to snap her neck, end her right here, but before I could reach her, Thomas—my biggest enemy—stepped in front of me.He grabbed my collar, his voice filled with fury."Don't you dare touch my mate."I clenched his collar in return, glaring at him."She can't be y

EMMAI immediately straightened up, adjusting my top as I pushed Thomas away. My heart pounded as I turned to Violet."What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice unsteady.Violet crossed her arms and scoffed. "This is my pack, and you’re asking me what I’m doing here?"A wave of guilt crashed over me. I couldn’t meet her eyes. The weight of my actions—being with her husband—was suffocating me.Violet’s gaze shifted to Thomas. "Can I talk to my sister alone?"Thomas nodded and turned to me, pressing a soft kiss on my cheek. "Baby, I have some urgent work outside the pack. I’ll be back later."I looked at him, concern etching my face. "But where are you going?""I’ll tell you later," he said before walking away, leaving me alone with Violet. My palms felt clammy. I was nervous as hell.Violet stepped closer, her eyes scanning me from head to toe. Before she could say anything, the guilt consumed me, and the words tumbled out."Look, I know I did terrible things to you and your child, b

EMMATwo days laterI was pacing around my room, filled with tension and frustration. Where was Thomas? Why hadn’t he come to meet me yet?Anger boiled inside me, and just as I was about to lose my mind, the door swung open, and Thomas walked in.The moment I saw him, I lashed out. "What the fuck, Thomas? Where the hell have you been? I’ve been waiting for you like crazy!"I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, but before I could pick up another, he closed the distance between us at lightning speed, securing me in his arms."Baby, listen to me," he said urgently. "I need to talk to you about something important."I struggled in his grip, refusing to calm down. But then his next words froze me."I was outcast from this pack. They threw me out and made me stay in the guest quarters—outside the packhouse."My eyes widened in shock. "What the hell?"Thomas pulled me closer, his grip tightening. "Yes, baby, it’s true. And we don’t have much time. We need to act fast."Confusion swirled in
