Chapter 82 Chapter 82. Nelly’s POV.

“Fuck” Kex cursed under his breath as Astel stormed out of the room. He turned to me, his eyes full of anger. “That idiot,” he mumbled, shaking his head.

| cleared my throat, trying to break the tension in the room. “Let it slide,” | muttered, as | helped him arrange his clothes.

As | began to sort of arrange his suit, my mind replayed Astel’s words over and over. again. He wanted me back, but accepting him meant that | didn’t know my worth. | wouldn't let him manipulate me like that.

When we had arrived at the party, | heard the whispers and murmurs of the other guests. “He’s here alone. | heard Shantel cheated on him,” | heard one man say to another.

| didn’t know how to feel. A part of me felt sorry for him, but another part of me felt a sense of vindication. After all the pain he had caused me, he deserved this. But despite everything, he still wanted me back. And that was something | couldn’t accept. | refused. to let him use me as a consolation prize.

| took a deep breath and turned to Kex, trying to sound calm. “Done,” | said, placing my hand on his cheek. He pulled away, his expression cold.

“Thank you,” he said, his voice flat and emotionless. It was clear that he was still angry, and | felt a pit of worry in my stomach. | tried to lighten the mood, but before | could speak, he spoke first.

“Let's go home,” he said, his voice hard. “But the party’s just getting started,” | said, my voice shaking. He didn’t smile. “| don’t care,” he said, raising his voice. | flinched, and he noticed. “Let’s go home,” he said, his voice softening.

| nodded, not wanting to anger him further. As we walked away from the party, my heart was racing. | hated it when Kex got angry like this.

The ride home was silent. Kex gripped the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles turned white. | wondered if he was mad at me, or if he was just furious with Astel.

| let out a long sigh and looked out the window. The night was dark, the stars glittering Chapter 82

in the sky like tiny jewels. A full moon shone brightly, casting shadows on the ground. A cool breeze blew through the car, ruffling my hair. | tried to lose myself in the scenery,

my mind kept drifting back to Kex and his anger. but

As we pulled up to the house, | let out a deep sigh. | knew this was going to be a long night. Kex got out of the car and stalked towards the front door without even looking back at me. | hurried after him, my footsteps echoing on the pavement.

Kex opened his room door and slammed it shut behind him. | hesitated for a moment, then slowly pushed his room door open. The door closed with a soft click.

| took a deep breath and asked, “Are you mad at me?”

He turned and looked at me, his eyes flashing with irritation.

“Why on earth would you think | would be mad at you?” he asked, his voice raised. | winced, but tried to keep my voice level. “Because you're putting up this attitude. Can’t you see it?” | said, trying to keep my tone. gentle.

He scoffed and said, “I’m just mad at Astel. How dare he touch you like that?” | felt my heart melt at his concern, even in his anger.

He was furious that Astel had touched me, and | was secretly glad that | hadn’t accepted Astel’s advances. | would rather be Kex's mistress than Astel’s mate. | drew him closer to me, my heart beating wildly in my chest.

He looked at me, his eyes still blazing with anger. Then, slowly, his eyes softened, and | felt a flicker of hope. | smiled and kissed him harder, pouring all my feelings into the kiss. He pulled me closer, his arms wrapping around me, and for a moment, everything felt right.

Suddenly, | felt my wolf jump in excitement within me, and | wondered why. Then, my eyes began to flash gold, and | squeezed them shut. The last time | had felt something like this was when Astel | was mated to Astel.

My heart began to pound as | realized the implication. Has Astel followed me home? Was | tied to him, despite everything that had happened? Was he my second chance mate? My chest heaved as | struggled to breathe, my mind racing. | had so many questions.

| forced my eyes open, and Kex’s eyes were glowing the same golden color as mine. “Mate,” | gasped. He nodded, the glow fading from his eyes. My mouth dropped open in short Chapter 82

How was | Kex’s mate? | thought he had a mate already. What was happening? My mind was reeling as | tried to process this new information. | felt dizzy and disoriented, and the room was spinning. | closed my eyes, trying to make sense of everything.

| needed to do something, | opened my eyes and dragged my feet. | stumbled over to the water jar on the desk and gulped down the cool liquid, hoping it would help clear my head. | pinched myself, hard. Ouch,” | winced in pain.

This was not a dream. Kex was truly my mate.

“Did you reject your mate?” | asked, dreading the answer.

| swore | would be mad if he had rejected her. Kex looked down at the floor, his face unreadable.

“| never rejected her,” he said quietly.

“She rejected you?” | asked, my heart sinking.

“No, not yet,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Then how the fuck how we mated,” | yelled, confused.

Everyone does have a second chance mate without stress, but my own as usual it came with stress.

“Because there’s no mate,” he responded, his voice flat.

“What?” | whispered, my head spinning.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s because she’s not my mate. | lied to you.” My heart dropped like a stone. | hated. lies, and | hated being lied to even more.

“Why?” | demanded. “Why would you do that?”

“Have you ever wondered why you're only feeling the mate bond now?” he asked, and | paused. He was right. Why hadn't | felt it before? As if reading my thoughts, he spoke again.

“It's because you never accepted Astel’s rejection. You didn’t give yourself time to move on.” His voice echoed in the quiet room. “When did you find out we were mates?” | asked him, my voice thick with emotion..

“The day we went to the cottages together,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

“And why didn’t you tell me?” | asked, and he gave a bitter smile.

“Would you have believed me?” he asked. | looked away, knowing the answer. “You were so into Astel that you couldn’t see me,” he said, pain lacing his words. “Do you know how much that hurt?”

I stood in silence, staring at him. | had been so foolish, unable to see the man right in front of me. | had been jealous of my reflection. Tears began to well up in my eyes, and | used my hands to fan my eyes, blinking the tears. | had never been so emotional in my life. Kex has his ways of making me shed happy tears.

“Nelly?” Kex called me.
