Chapter 1 Wrong Mates
Chapter 1 Wrong Mates
Violet’s POV
At six in the morning, when the sky outside is quite cloudy and still dark, I’ve already gotten out of bed
and knocked on the door of Neil's bedroom.
As always, there is no answer. He is not at home. I guess again he has spent his night at some casino.
When entering the living room I smell a disgusting stench. The floor is covered in boxes of instant
noodles, beer cans, and dirty clothes Neil had taken off.
This is one of the reasons I hate Neil for.
He always makes our house a mess and asks me to clean it. As he said that’s my reason to exist-
To be his housewife.
I take a deep breath, put on my apron and rubber gloves, and start to clean as it’s my everyday task.
I collect all the trash in a big black garbage bag, throw it outside the door, put Neil’s dirty clothes in the
washing machine, and start to mop the floor.
If as expected, Neil will be back at noon, and I have to prepare lunch the ready before then. Otherwise,
he would be so mad.
Knock-Knock-Knock-
There is a knock at the door. I put down my mop, take off my rubber gloves and open the door. A plump This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
woman with curly red hair appears with a bruised face. Her forehead is red and blue, the corners of her
mouth are bloodstained, the left side of her face is horribly swollen and her eyes are bruised.
This is my friend Kelly. And she is holding her baby girl Mia in her arms.
"Violet......" She sobs.
"Did that bastard hit you again?" I ask in anger.
Kelly cries and nods.
"I'll teach him a lesson!" I roll up my sleeves, want to go to Kelly’s house and beat that bastard up, but
Kelly stops me.
"He's not at home. He just left. I think he went to gamble too. That's why I dared to leave the house and
come to you." Kelly says.
I sit Kelly and her daughter down on the freshly cleaned couch, manage to find a clean glass, and pour
Kelly a glass of water.
"Thank you." Kelly chokes up.
"When are you going to divorce George?" I ask.
Kelly holds the glass near her mouth and hesitates for a while before taking a sip of water.
"Divorce?" She puts down her glass and shakes her head, "I never thought about that."
"Then it's time you think about it."
"But I can't leave my children without a father... Besides, I have no job, and I don't know how to live
without him." Kelly’s face is shed with tears.
I sigh and think that was a stupid decision.
Kelly and I were good friends in high school where Neil also went to.
On my 18th birthday, I smelt out that Neil was my mate and so he became my boyfriend.
Kelly used to be the cheerleader in our school and a heartthrob for boys. But she never found her mate
in our pack. She used to have a lot of choices but settled on scumbag George. In my opinion, her
marriage to George was a totally taken-in by the man’s blandishments.
Also, after Kelly got pregnant and got out of shape, the jerk changed his attitude.
He began to hate Kelly for being “too obese”, and spending all his time on alcohol and gambling. He
soon gambled away his fortune, and blamed all this on Kelly, saying that she is the jinx.
He eventually started to beat Kelly after getting drunk.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Neil and George met at a gambling table. It was Neil who introduced
George to Kelly.
"You can support yourself and the baby. And I'll help you, George is not a good..."
Choice.
Before I could finish my words, the door of the living room is kicked open.
Neil is back.
Neil is clutching his dirty jacket in his hands, which smelled of cigarettes and alcohol, and his brown
hair is matted. His tawny eyes dart around the living room as he shouts, "Fuck!"
"Why haven't you cleaned up the house? ! Where's my breakfast? And why did you let this bitch in
here? Didn't I tell you not to let her set foot in my house without my permission? Get her and her kid out
of my place!"
He barks at me like a mad dog.
Kelly is scared. Also the baby. Mia starts to cry.
Kelly looks at Neil warily as if she has done something wrong, but indeed she hasn’t. She looks sorry
but the hurt and pathetic expression on her face does not arouse Neil's sympathy.
He glares at Mia fiercely. "So freaking noisy! Just shut her up!"
Mia chokes with fear and then cries louder.
Kelly stands up with Mia in her arms and says to Neil in a tearful voice, "Don't blame Violet. I begged
her to let me in. I...... I'll leave right now."
She walks toward the door, but I take her arm to let her stop.
"Wait, you can wait for me in my room. You can eat lunch with us later after I cook." I say.
Neil's tawny eyebrows go up. His eyes widen as he points at me and bellows, "How dare you disobey
my orders? Can't you fucking hear me? !"
I take a deep breath and ask in a patient tone, "I'll get the house cleaned and the breakfast ready. Just
after I take care of my friend. Could you just wait a minute?"
"No! This is my house! My words are the law!" Neil snaps.
"This is my house, too!” My patience is running out.
"Your house? ! If I didn’t make money, would you be able to eat? Would you have the space the sleep?
Fucking your house. This is my house! Mine! If you piss me off then I will throw you out too! Do you
dare to try? You niddering motherless omega! No one would want you, except me! Just fucking listen to
me!" Neil yells.
"I pay my rent too! This is my house too! I won’t listen to you just because you are my mate! " I
snapped back, unflinchingly looking him in the eyes.
Actually, Neil and I are more like roommates than mates because we never had sex. We haven’t
marked each other too. We just live in the same house. He did ask to sleep with me multiple times, but
each time I said no.
The reason is simple. I hate him.
I always think it was a mistake made by the Moon Goddess that I am mated to Neil.
He’s a lazy, angry, sluggish man with a narrow mindset.
And he's been going too far lately. I'm thinking about leaving him.
Just as Neil and I are staring at each other, Kelly's husband, George, enters the living room.
He reeks a foul smell and his red eyes are fixed on Kelly. He grabs Kelly by the hair and roars angrily,
“Come home with me!”
"I... I......" Kelly is so scared that she couldn't even finish her sentence.
Snap!
George slaps her hard.
"You fucking leave without my permission again! I'll break your legs!"
“Stop that!” I try to stop George but Neil grabs my arm and stops me.
"That's George's fucking wife. Their family affairs are none of your business!" Neil says.
Kelly dares not to resist George's warning. She gave me a sad look, “It’s okay Violet. I’m fine.” She
says and follows George out.
I try to run after them but am dragged into the bedroom by Neil angrily.
He throws me on the bed, lays on top of me, and tears at my clothes.
"You bitch, dare you to talk to me like that! Whores that I get on the street are even more obedient than
you! I will teach you a lesson today!"
As Neil speaks, he kisses me on the cheek with his foul mouth, and it turns my stomach.
I try to avoid him, throw my fist at him, and when he tries to unbutton my shirt again, I kick him in the
crotch.
He screams and falls off my top.
I really pissed Neil off. He grabs my collar and throws me out into the yard and locks the door.
"You don’t like fucked by me. Yet there are hundreds of dogs out there willing to lick my dick!" Leaving
me with that, Neil swaggers off with the keys.
I sit on the front steps of the house and stare at the overcast sky.
A cold wind blows through, making me shiver.
"Is it going to rain? I mutter to myself.
My guess is right. After a sound of thunder, the rain suddenly comes pouring down, and within
seconds, I am drenched.
But that isn't the worst of it. I suddenly feel great pain, like someone is cutting my insides with a knife!
That's... the pain coming from my mate-bound! Bastard Neil must be having sex with another woman
right now...
I feel so painful that I could hardly breathe and rolled on the icy, rain-soaked ground.
I clutch my stomach in despair and curl up in the cold rain.
I am really in too much pain to stand up and find myself a cover.
I do not know how long after. After my body gradually become numb, my vision became increasingly
blurred, and I closed my eyes groggily. And then I hear a low, sexy voice saying-
“My little wolfie. I finally found you.”
