I had never seen such an expression on Robert’s face. He had always been cheerful, confident, and polite. Even on the field, when all the boys’ blood was boiling, I had never seen him lose his temper.

I had never even thought he would have such a side to him.

I let go of my hand embarrassedly and looked at him helplessly.

“I didn’t expect it to be you.” Robert’s voice was filled with disdain. “A person like you is my mate?”

“You... You knew it was me?”

I couldn’t believe what I heard from his words.

“I felt it when I became an adult.”

Robert snorted coldly. He leaned against the wall with his hands crossed over his chest. His words were filled with arrogance and disdain.

I felt as if his perfect image in my mind had been shattered. His contempt and disdain for me and his harsh and discriminatory words against me were nothing like the ease he had acted before. Could it be that this was the real him, that all the good qualities he had displayed before were just illusions?

I was frozen in place, reeling from such a massive fall from grace that it was difficult to recover.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps from the other side of the corridor.

I saw Robert’s expression change. Before I could react, I saw Robert grab my clothes with a look of disgust. He used his other hand to cover my mouth, opened the door of the men’s room, and stuffed me inside. He followed me in and locked the door behind him. He glared at me fiercely, indicating for me not to make a sound.

I heard footsteps approaching from outside.

“Did you see her come over just now?”

This voice belonged to the person who called out to me yesterday. His voice was very rough and easy to recognize.

“I saw her.”

“That’s strange. How did she disappear?”

Then came the sound of two people’s footsteps.

“Did she slip away?”

“F*ck, she slipped away quite quickly,” the rough male voice said. “I was planning to play with her. The way she acted yesterday made me angry just by looking at her.”

I was terrified. I couldn’t help but look at Robert, afraid that he would push me out. But Robert just frowned.

“You wanted to play with her?”

“F*ck, don’t jinx me. Who would have the appetite to do that after seeing her? I want to teach her a lesson.”

I had to listen to this insult, but I didn’t even dare to breathe.

I saw Robert’s expression become even uglier. Was he angry because of what others had said about me? After all, I was his mate. Everyone said, ” A mate is the Moon Goddess’s plan.” Two people, who are fated to be mates, will fall in love and never betray each other. He should be able to sense our attraction to each other, just as I couldn’t help but want to be with him now that we were close.

The two people outside the door said something, and the footsteps faded.

I heard that they had left. I looked at Robert and asked softly, “Why are you doing this?”

“What?”

“Why did you drag me in just now?”

I couldn’t believe that I was still hoping. Was he trying to protect me earlier?

Although he loathed me and looked down on me, he still had the instinct to love me as a mate. We still had a chance to be together.

“I don’t want others to see us together.”

Robert mercilessly broke my last hope.

He pulled me in because he didn’t want others to see him. His ugly expression was also because he felt that being my mate was insulting him. He didn’t have any concern or sympathy for my situation.

I saw this person now. He was utterly selfish and arrogant. He didn’t care about anyone else’s feelings. He didn’t even think that we were equal. He felt that he was superior to people like me. Hanging out with me would only lower his status! Why did I ever like such a person?

“You won’t become my mate. Let’s pretend that today’s incident didn’t happen. Watch your mouth when you’re out there. Don’t say anything you shouldn’t say!” Robert threatened me.

His tall figure shadowed me. I was afraid of it.

“Yes, I will,” I said, trying to hold back my sobs.

Robert turned and left, leaving me leaning weakly against the wall.

The cold tiles seemed to have soaked through my skin. I felt a chill from the inside out.

I couldn’t speak. My wolf was howling because of Robert’s rejection. She was one with me. I could completely feel the pain and suffering. Plus, deep down, I felt like my past feelings weren’t worth it.

Robert was such a terrible person. No amount of talent, power, or status could change that.

Why did I like him!

Why was he my mate?

When I got back that day, I was very sick.

I didn’t even get to go to my graduation ceremony, which was supposed to be the most important day of my high school life. And while I was lying in bed, devastated, I heard that Robert and Alison had marked each other at graduation.
