Mates 40


    Chapter 40


    FREDA WHITLOCK


    I pushed the door shut as soon as I realized that it was Kaiden. Well, I tried. He stopped me from


    closing the door. “Kaiden, please stop,” I said tiredly. I was not in the mood for this. I really was not


    in the mood for this. I did not want any more issues at this point, especially not with Safiya.


    “What do you want from me?” I asked, ring at him. He pushed it wide open and I could not do


    anything about it because I was not as strong as him.


    “I just want to apologize,” he said with a pleading look.


    “I don’t want to hear anything you have to say, Kaiden. I just need you and your wife to stay away


    from me. You’re both making my life more miserable than it already is. Why is it so hard for you to


    leave me alone?” I said tiredly, letting out a sigh.


    He tried to let himself in but I pushed at his chest. “Get out,” I said through gritted teeth. How did he


    not understand that I was already going through sufficient emotional stress. Why was he stressing


    me physically on top of it?


    “Freda please,” he said, sounding exasperated. How dare he? I was the one who was constantly


    being bothered, bullied and stressed. How dare he act tired?


    “Get out! I don’t want to see you, talk to you or hear whatever you have to say!” I yelled and him and


    finally forced the door

    Padded a post. You watched their videos recently


    close with a burst of strength I did not know i nad.


    As soon as it clicked shut, I locked it and leaned against it, crying bitterly.


    I was angry, sad and frustrated all at the same time. How had ite to this? How did my


    rtionship with my younger sister gone to s**t the way it had? How had we fallen apart? How had


    we let an indecisive, selfish p**k pull us apart?


    In all honesty, I missed my sister. I missed the angel she had been before she fell for Kaiden. I


    missed the rtionship we had before I discovered he was my mate and he was attracted to myAll text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    younger sister.


    We had let him destroy what we had, what was left of our family after mom died. So shameful.


    I cried harder. I wanted to stop. I really wanted to because crying was s**d and it almost never


    yielded any results. It was s**d, but I could not help it.


    I fell in my knees and hugged myself as I curled in a ball. I was pathetic. I was s**d. I should have


    stood up my sister back before I ran away. I should have told Kaiden that I was not going to take


    any more of his b**t, that he had the choice to make between my sister and I.


    And now I was facing the consequences. I just feared that the consequences were a little too much


    for me. A little more than I could take. A little more than I deserved.


    I heard a knock on the door and I ignored it. It was Kaiden.i knew he was trying to bother me again


    and I was not going to let him. Why was is it so d**n hard for him to stick to the

    choice he had made?


    He had to choose between my sister and I. He had chosen my sister. He had married her. Why was


    he finding it so difficult to stay with her?


    The knocks became more insistent and I grew very angry. I picked up my broken pieces from off the


    floor, held myself together with temporary glue and got to my feet. I was going to punch him in his


    Alpha face since it was so difficult for him to understand simple words.


    I unlocked the door and aggressively pulled it open.


    “Kaiden, I swear to G**d” I cut myself short and took in a deep breath as my eyes caught sight of


    Lyra.


    “Hey… Where have you been? Didn’t you hear — What happened to you?” She asked and her face


    that was initially filled with confusion was now filled with concern.


    My bottom lip wobbled on sighting her and I took a deep breath to stop the tears that were


    imminent.


    “Heyyy…” She whispered, pushing past me and shutting the door behind her. I walked towards the


    kitchen to see if getting a sip of water would help me get my s**t together.


    “Freda, talk to me. Tell me what’s wrong,” she said with a sigh.


    I knew she was tired of seeing me cry, but I doubted she ever got tired of consoling me.


    “It’s Safiya. Safiya and Kaiden. I know you’ve tried to get me not to cry over them anymore, but I


    can’t help it. They have made it

    a point of duty to stress me out and hurt me every chance they get. I’m so tired of it and I don’t


    know what to do at this point,” I said and blinked rapidly, trying to stop the tears that were


    coming to my eyes.


    She sighed and walked up to me, pulling me in for a hug. “What exactly happened? What did they


    do?” She asked and I gulped, looking down at my hands.


    “Safiya approached me. She was yelling and agitating and I’m pretty sure that people heard how


    she would not stop talking about how I was trying to take Kaiden from her. I lost control and yelled


    back at her. Kaiden is the oneing after me. I want him to stop but he just won’t. As If that was


    not enough, he came to the door. I sent him away. I thought it was him that was at the door. That


    was why I did not answer you in time,” I said, burying my face in her chest as I wept.


    “It’s exhausting. I just want them to leave me alone. I just want Kaiden to leave me alone. It hurts


    that I’ve gotten to this point with Safiya. Why does he insist oning after me and making things


    worse between us? Why?” I cried out the question. because I needed an actual answer. I was so


    tired of all the drama and I just wanted it all to end.


    She wrapped her hands tighter around me but said nothing. That was enough for me. I did not want


    any words because she was not going to answer my question with whatever she had to


    say.
