Rejected Little Secret by Lisj

As Zeke led me away from the others, his serious expression melted away, replaced by a fierce anger that consumed him. We walked in silence, the only sounds being the crunch of leaves beneath our feet, until we were far enough from prying eyes. It was then that Zeke’s simmering anger exploded like a volcano. His eyes, which were once filled with just anger, now shimmered with a tinge of jealousy. 

“What the hell, Maya?” Zeke’s voice dripped with bitterness, a sharp departure from the soothing tones he typically employed when speaking to me. Even before his words reached me, I could already feel their weight pressing down on me. “What the actual f*ck is wrong with you?!” 

“Excuse me?” 

Stammering, my face twisted into an expression of anger. Without hesitation, he got straight to the point.. 

“Why do you smell like that f*cking Blackacre Mutt?” 

I was taken aback, left speechless and scrambling to find the right words to express myself. The intense anger inside me made me hesitate between verbally tearing him apart or just straight up punching him, 

“Wow.” 

My mouth opened to respond, but a sudden lump formed in my throat, rendering me speechless. Considering what he did to me. I don’t think he deserves any insight into what’s happening in my life. 

“And what’s with not texting me this morning?” As Zeke’s anger intensified, a wave of jealousy washed over him. distorting his face with a bitter expression. “You’ve never done that before. What were you doing?” 

Sending him a text every morning is not something I do regularly, or even at all. He understands my disdain for using cellphones because they are products of human innovation. Jealousy has completely consumed him, distorting his thoughts and inventing imaginary situations. 

“Are 

you with him now?” Zeke’s eyes flickered with a dangerous intensity, and I felt a chill run down my spine. “Tell me the truth, Maya.” 

My laughter felt forced as I tried to ease the tension, but it only seemed to make things worse. 

“You’re such an asshole, Zeke,” I said, my voice tinged with bitterness. “You’re acting like I’m the one at fault, but we both know you’re the one who cheated first.” 

Zeke’s face paled at my words, his eyes widening in shock. 

“Maya, I- he began, but I cut him off before he could finish. 

“Don’t even bother trying to explain,” I said, my voice trembling with anger. “I saw everything that night. I saw you with Nadia.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The memories came flooding back, each one a painful reminder of the betrayal I had endured. I remembered the way Zeke’s hands had roamed over Nadia’s body, the way they had whispered secrets that weren’t meant for my ears. It was a betrayal that cut deeper than any knife, leaving me wounded and broken in its wake. 

“You promised me, Zeke,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “You promised me that you would never hurt me like this. 

Zeke’s expression softened, his eyes filled with remorse. 

“Maya, I’m sorry,” he said, his voice heavy with regret. “I never meant to hurt you. It’s not what you think-” 

But his words rang hollow, empty promises that offered no solace for the pain he had caused. I turned away from

him, unable to bear the sight of his face any longer. 

“You’re already arranged to be mated with her!!” 

“I trusted yo 

you, Zeke,” I said, my voice choked with emotion. “I trusted you with my heart, and you threw it away like it meant nothing. 

The tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I struggled to keep my composure. I had given him everything. laid bare my soul for him to see, and he had repaid me with betrayal. 

“I can’t do this anymore,” I said, my voice barely a whisper. “I can’t keep pretending that everything is okay when it’s 

not.” 

Zeke reached out to me, his hand hovering in the air as if unsure whether to touch me or not. But I pulled away, unable to bear the thought of his touch. 

“It’s not like I wanted to cheat, Maya,” he said, his voice strained with frustration. “You have faults too in our relationship. 

My heart clenched at his words, a bitter taste rising in my throat. How could he try to justify his betrayal by pointing fingers at me? Anger bubbled up inside me, threatening to consume me whole. 

“F–faults?” I stammered, disbelief coloring my words. “You’re the one who kept me a secret, Zeke. You’re the one who lied to me, who broke my trust.” 

Zeke’s face twisted with anger, his eyes blazing with fury. 

“Because you’re an embarrassment, Maya!” he screamed, his words like daggers aimed straight at my heart. 

The silence that followed was deafening, a heavy weight pressing down on us both. I felt as though the ground had been ripped out from beneath me, leaving me adrift in a sea of pain and betrayal. 

Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I struggled to make sense of what had just happened. How could the man I loved, the man I had given my heart to, turn on me like this? 

“I trusted you, Zeke,” I whispered, my voice barely audible above the sound of my own heart breaking. “I loved you with everything I had, and you threw it all away.” 

But Zeke’s expression remained cold and indifferent, his eyes devoid of any remorse. It was as though he had shut 

himself off from me completely, leaving me to drown in a sea of my own pain. 

“If you’re going to act like a complete whore,” Zeke spat, his eyes flickering to black in mere seconds, “You should be treated like one.” 

“W–what?” 

“I think…I’m rejecting you as my True Mate, Maya Dalto
