A Mistake Mate novel Chapter 31

I walked down the hallway and towards the stairs that would lead me to the next level of the house. I took the stairs two at a time and before I knew it I was standing outside of Perries door. I took a deep breath before knocking quietly. I heard some shuffling inside the room and a few sniffles before the door opened slowly.

When Perrie saw that it was me standing there she scowled and went to close the door but I stopped her.

"Can we talk please?" I asked putting my hand on the door. Perrie glared at me before shaking her head.

"Why? I have nothing to say to you, your nothing but a man stealing whore!" She spat at me. My eyes widened and my wolf growled inside my head. I glared at Perrie before growling.

"You may be upset with me right now but I am your future alpha and you will respect me!" I growled out in my alpha voice. Perrie flinched back and hung her head to show submission.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly. I nodded my head before taking a deep breath.

"It's alright. Can I come in so we can talk?" I asked kindly. I was still kind of angry with her because she disrespected me but I put that aside. She nodded her head and stepped aside to let me in. I strolled into her room and took a seat on her bed while Perrie sat at her desk.

"Look I'm sorry that you had to find out that way." I began but she cut me off.

"Find out what? That you stole my boyfriend?" She snapped. I let out a warning growl and she sighed while closing her eyes.

"Is he your boyfriend though? Did he ask you to be his girlfriend or did you just assume because Xander doesn't do commitment, trust me I should know." I said bitterly. Perrie opened her mouth before closing it again.

"No he didn't, but I just thought that because he was being so nice and sweet to me and acting like a boyfriend that he wanted to be my boyfriend." She answered truthfully. I pursed my lips and remained silent or a moment.

"Exactly. I didn't take something that belonged to you, and even if you guys were dating he would still be mine in a way." I stated. Perrie looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked, running a hand threw her blonde hair.

"She took it fine, she just felt really bad when I told her that we are mates." I stated. Xander nodded his head before staring at me expectantly. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.

"Look I-I, I don't even know where to start." I stuttered out. Xander looked worried but didn't open his mouth.

"I'm just so frustrated and confused! I don't even know what we are!" I said frustrated. Xander looked surprised at my little outburst.

"We're mates." He said quietly. I sighed and looked him in the eyes.

"But are we? Because the last time I checked mates don't hurt each other, mates don't strut around with other girls, and mates don't rip out ones heart and through it on the ground!" I yelled angrily. Xander closed his eyes and dropped his head.

"I know, I'm sorry. I just, I don't know. I-" He began but I cut him off with my bitter laugh.
