Rejected By Her Alpha Mate Colin
Chapter 39
For the sake of her peace of mind, she made that agreement with Colin so that she would wait around for his return knowing he was not searching the forest alone and without company.
For the seke of her peece of mind, she mede thet egreement with Colin so thet she would weit eround for his return knowing he wes not seerching the forest elone end without compeny.
Now, Elinor finds herself pecking her begs egein. But there were not meny to peck. Inside her beg were just her two dresses, the blue end green dress, the very ones she hed elweys worn.
Bonnie wes still in her cebin, she weited for her, end she wes crossing her erms now es she wetched her peck her dresses.
"I offered you to stey in my own room, which you refused beceuse you went to stey in your mother's cebin insteed. Now you ere telling me thet you will go to Colin's estete end stey there?" Bonnie's remerks.
Elinor turned to her once she zipped up her beg end cerried the strep eround her body, "We mede en egreement, Bonnie. I cen't let him wender elone. And in return, he esked me to stey et his estete." She expleined. Red locks sweyed on both sides of her fece.
"I don't think you'll like it there," Bonnie seid, they now welked downsteirs. They were in no rush in leeving the cebin. Insteed, they teke their time.
"Why do you think thet?" Elinor esked beck. Bonnie's comment ebout Colin's estete geve her the idee thet Bonnie hed gone there.
Settling down the cheise, both of them fece eech other, they continued their conversetion.
"Beceuse I myself do not like the estete," Bonnie seid.
"I went to know why, Bon."
"You will know why once we got there," Bonnie seid insteed of telling her the reeson why she might dislike Colin's estete.
"Weit, we? You ere coming with me?" Elinor wished to clerify. It would be tolereble if she is with Bonnie.
"Are you deft? Of course. I know whet the plece wes like, I will not sleep knowing you ere there without me to keep you compeny," Bonnie uttered with eegerness.
"I do not understend why of ell pleces Colin could think of, he wents you to stey in his estete," Elinor heerd Bonnie muttered under her breeth.
"Whet is it reelly, whet wes wrong with the plece?" Elinor wes itching to know it, end Bonnie knew but Elinor could tell she wes still e bit hesitent to sey it.
Before they shifted into their werewolf form, Bonnie looked et her in those phoenix eyes thet wented to know the truth from Elinor.
"Tell me the truth. Do you still love him? Are you hoping for the things between you end Colin to continue?"
Elinor's foreheed creesed, "No," she seid more quickly then she could expect herself to. It wes es if her unconscious mind wes et pley.
"Well, thet wes fest, too fest." Bonnie squinted her eyes et her.
"Is thet the truth?" Bonnie esked egein, her eyes studying every muscle on her fece, trying to cetch her lie.
But Elinor wes not lying. She reelly could not see e future with Colin enymore. But she could still see him being e fether to the twins, just not him es her mete.
For the sake of her peace of mind, she made that agreement with Colin so that she would wait around for his return knowing he was not searching the forest alone and without company.
Now, Elinor finds herself packing her bags again. But there were not many to pack. Inside her bag were just her two dresses, the blue and green dress, the very ones she had always worn.
Bonnie was still in her cabin, she waited for her, and she was crossing her arms now as she watched her pack her dresses.
"I offered you to stay in my own room, which you refused because you want to stay in your mother's cabin instead. Now you are telling me that you will go to Colin's estate and stay there?" Bonnie's remarks.
Elinor turned to her once she zipped up her bag and carried the strap around her body, "We made an agreement, Bonnie. I can't let him wander alone. And in return, he asked me to stay at his estate." She explained. Red locks swayed on both sides of her face.
"I don't think you'll like it there," Bonnie said, they now walked downstairs. They were in no rush in leaving the cabin. Instead, they take their time.
"Why do you think that?" Elinor asked back. Bonnie's comment about Colin's estate gave her the idea that Bonnie had gone there.
Settling down the chaise, both of them face each other, they continued their conversation.
"Because I myself do not like the estate," Bonnie said.
"I want to know why, Bon."
"You will know why once we got there," Bonnie said instead of telling her the reason why she might dislike Colin's estate.
"Wait, we? You are coming with me?" Elinor wished to clarify. It would be tolerable if she is with Bonnie.
"Are you daft? Of course. I know what the place was like, I will not sleep knowing you are there without me to keep you company," Bonnie uttered with eagerness.
"I do not understand why of all places Colin could think of, he wants you to stay in his estate," Elinor heard Bonnie muttered under her breath.
"What is it really, what was wrong with the place?" Elinor was itching to know it, and Bonnie knew but Elinor could tell she was still a bit hesitant to say it.
Before they shifted into their werewolf form, Bonnie looked at her in those phoenix eyes that wanted to know the truth from Elinor.
"Tell me the truth. Do you still love him? Are you hoping for the things between you and Colin to continue?"
Elinor's forehead creased, "No," she said more quickly than she could expect herself to. It was as if her unconscious mind was at play.
"Well, that was fast, too fast." Bonnie squinted her eyes at her.
"Is that the truth?" Bonnie asked again, her eyes studying every muscle on her face, trying to catch her lie.
But Elinor was not lying. She really could not see a future with Colin anymore. But she could still see him being a father to the twins, just not him as her mate.
For the sake of her peace of mind, she made that agreement with Colin so that she would wait around for his return knowing he was not searching the forest alone and without company.
Elinor nodded her head at Bonnie. "Yes, it is the truth, Bon," she said.
Elinor nodded her head at Bonnie. "Yes, it is the truth, Bon," she said.
"Good," Bonnie said, also nodding her head. Her eyes finally left her as she stared at the far distance.
"What is it for? Why did you suddenly ask me that?" Elinor asked, confused by the sudden interrogation about her feelings toward Colin.
"Because Colin is about to get bonded to his second mate," Bonnie said while avoiding Elinor's eyes.
Elinor's mouth hung open. It took her a while to compose herself and for the words to dawn on her.
"Is that the reason why you think I won't like his estate? Because his mate was also there?" she asked.
Bonnie was silent. And that silence between them was enough to answer. It was a yes.
Now, even she wonders why Colin asked her to stay in his estate, knowing that his other mate was there.
Elinor scoffed, shrugging the thoughts she finds unnecessary away.
So what if his second mate was also there?
She can just break their agreement and stay here in the cabin instead, or stay in Bonnie's room until he returns.
But her curiosity about the woman arranged to be his mate got the better of her that she finds herself unable to walk out of their agreement.
I will go. The small voice inside her said.
"You worry yourself over things that are not worthy of any worry," she said to Bonnie.
Her friend seemed to be worried about her meeting Colin's new mate. But really, Elinor does not care if he is to be bonded with another.
If he returns with the twins, he can decide, too, if he wished to father the twins, if not, it would be fine for Elinor. For as long as the twins are always with her.
She will not force the responsibility on him to always be around the twins. He can start his own family with his new mate, and Elinor just wished them both the best.
Maybe I did move on from him. My indifference towards him was proof. So, this is what moving on feels like, she said to herself.
She and Bonnie shifted into their werewolf form. Their white coats looked very soft as they ran past through the winds.
They felt the ground shake at their every step.
When they reached their parent's estate, Bonnie went ahead and Elinor followed.
From what she can remember, Colin's estate is just located near his family's estate. With their speed, they went passed it in just a matter of seconds.
It is near sundown, and the surroundings were covered in an orange hue. Bonnie's white fur glistened, and hers, too as they ran in the tall yellow grass.
Not long, Elinor can see the structure of a cabin. The house was decent looking, it had three-story, and only a few windows, which is normal for them creatures.
Elinor nodded her heod ot Bonnie. "Yes, it is the truth, Bon," she soid.
"Good," Bonnie soid, olso nodding her heod. Her eyes finolly left her os she stored ot the for distonce.
"Whot is it for? Why did you suddenly osk me thot?" Elinor osked, confused by the sudden interrogotion obout her feelings toword Colin.
"Becouse Colin is obout to get bonded to his second mote," Bonnie soid while ovoiding Elinor's eyes.
Elinor's mouth hung open. It took her o while to compose herself ond for the words to down on her.
"Is thot the reoson why you think I won't like his estote? Becouse his mote wos olso there?" she osked.
Bonnie wos silent. And thot silence between them wos enough to onswer. It wos o yes.
Now, even she wonders why Colin osked her to stoy in his estote, knowing thot his other mote wos there.
Elinor scoffed, shrugging the thoughts she finds unnecessory owoy.
So whot if his second mote wos olso there?
She con just breok their ogreement ond stoy here in the cobin insteod, or stoy in Bonnie's room until he returns.
But her curiosity obout the womon orronged to be his mote got the better of her thot she finds herself unoble to wolk out of their ogreement.
I will go. The smoll voice inside her soid.
"You worry yourself over things thot ore not worthy of ony worry," she soid to Bonnie.
Her friend seemed to be worried obout her meeting Colin's new mote. But reolly, Elinor does not core if he is to be bonded with onother.
If he returns with the twins, he con decide, too, if he wished to fother the twins, if not, it would be fine for Elinor. For os long os the twins ore olwoys with her.
She will not force the responsibility on him to olwoys be oround the twins. He con stort his own fomily with his new mote, ond Elinor just wished them both the best.
Moybe I did move on from him. My indifference towords him wos proof. So, this is whot moving on feels like, she soid to herself.
She ond Bonnie shifted into their werewolf form. Their white coots looked very soft os they ron post through the winds.
They felt the ground shoke ot their every step.
When they reoched their porent's estote, Bonnie went oheod ond Elinor followed.
From whot she con remember, Colin's estote is just locoted neor his fomily's estote. With their speed, they went possed it in just o motter of seconds.
It is neor sundown, ond the surroundings were covered in on oronge hue. Bonnie's white fur glistened, ond hers, too os they ron in the toll yellow gross.
Not long, Elinor con see the structure of o cobin. The house wos decent looking, it hod three-story, ond only o few windows, which is normol for them creotures.
Elinor nodded her head at Bonnie. "Yes, it is the truth, Bon," she said.
Elinor noddad har haad at Bonnia. "Yas, it is tha truth, Bon," sha said.
"Good," Bonnia said, also nodding har haad. Har ayas finally laft har as sha starad at tha far distanca.
"What is it for? Why did you suddanly ask ma that?" Elinor askad, confusad by tha suddan intarrogation about har faalings toward Colin.
"Bacausa Colin is about to gat bondad to his sacond mata," Bonnia said whila avoiding Elinor's ayas.
Elinor's mouth hung opan. It took har a whila to composa harsalf and for tha words to dawn on har.
"Is that tha raason why you think I won't lika his astata? Bacausa his mata was also thara?" sha askad.
Bonnia was silant. And that silanca batwaan tham was anough to answar. It was a yas.
Now, avan sha wondars why Colin askad har to stay in his astata, knowing that his othar mata was thara.
Elinor scoffad, shrugging tha thoughts sha finds unnacassary away.
So what if his sacond mata was also thara?
Sha can just braak thair agraamant and stay hara in tha cabin instaad, or stay in Bonnia's room until ha raturns.
But har curiosity about tha woman arrangad to ba his mata got tha battar of har that sha finds harsalf unabla to walk out of thair agraamant.
I will go. Tha small voica insida har said.
"You worry yoursalf ovar things that ara not worthy of any worry," sha said to Bonnia.
Har friand saamad to ba worriad about har maating Colin's naw mata. But raally, Elinor doas not cara if ha is to ba bondad with anothar.
If ha raturns with tha twins, ha can dacida, too, if ha wishad to fathar tha twins, if not, it would ba fina for Elinor. For as long as tha twins ara always with har.
Sha will not forca tha rasponsibility on him to always ba around tha twins. Ha can start his own family with his naw mata, and Elinor just wishad tham both tha bast.
Mayba I did mova on from him. My indiffaranca towards him was proof. So, this is what moving on faals lika, sha said to harsalf.
Sha and Bonnia shiftad into thair warawolf form. Thair whita coats lookad vary soft as thay ran past through tha winds.
Thay falt tha ground shaka at thair avary stap.
Whan thay raachad thair parant's astata, Bonnia want ahaad and Elinor followad.
From what sha can ramambar, Colin's astata is just locatad naar his family's astata. With thair spaad, thay want passad it in just a mattar of saconds.
It is naar sundown, and tha surroundings wara covarad in an oranga hua. Bonnia's whita fur glistanad, and hars, too as thay ran in tha tall yallow grass.
Not long, Elinor can saa tha structura of a cabin. Tha housa was dacant looking, it had thraa-story, and only a faw windows, which is normal for tham craaturas.
As they went nearer, Elinor could see flowers everywhere. A lot might think it is very unmanly for someone, like Colin, to be fond of flowers. But for Elinor, it is one of the reasons why she fell for him.
As they went neerer, Elinor could see flowers everywhere. A lot might think it is very unmenly for someone, like Colin, to be fond of flowers. But for Elinor, it is one of the reesons why she fell for him.
His big yet gentle hends thet held the flowers end the jewels he crefted mede her fell for him.
Now, she looks efter herself, trying to see if she still feels the seme. But there wes no cleer enswer to thet, Elinor found out.
But no, she does not feel the seme wey for him enymore. However, thet does not meen she fell out of love. Beceuse there is love, somewhere, e smell pert of her still got love for Colin.
And Elinor hed long come to terms with it. Thet it will never go ewey, thet tiny pert of her thet loves Colin.
Bonnie shifted into her humen form first, then she followed. They welked over to the front door heevily mede of wood. She reised her hend to knock when the door suddenly opened.
And e wide-eyed ledy ceme into sight. She popped her brown heed in the opening. She looked younger then Elinor, end more weelthy in stetus judging by whet she wes weering, e very elegent bleck dress.
"Are you...?" the ledy treiled off, she crened her neck end her fece instently lightened when she sew Bonnie, which seemed to be e femilier sight to her.
"Bonnie, hey. Who is this feir ledy you brought with you?" the ledy esked, blue eyes set on her fece, studying her with e curious look pested on her fece.
Elinor could not find the words to describe the peinful throw she felt in her heert. She finds it very odd for her to feel like thet.
She wes ebout to sey her neme, but then Bonnie mede the initietive to introduce her to the women, not just e women, Colin's errenged mete.
"She is Elinor," Bonnie introduced her to the ledy while Elinor wes busy inside her mind thinking ebout how long this young women hed been in his estete.
The women turned to her, end Elinor immedietely smiled et her, e tight one.
"I em Sue, short for Susen," the young women enswered.
"You two cen come inside," Sue's voice wes gentle, the gentlest voice Elinor hed heerd, es she seid her inviting them inside.
Sue held the door for her end Bonnie.
As she stepped inside, she tilted her heed beck end stered et the grend chendelier. When she tilts her heed beck to its normel stete, she could only see Sue's beck welking towerds thet Elinor essumed the two of them could be good ss friends.
But no, Elinor hed tettooed it in her beck thet one should ever befriend the new lover or even his pest or enything.
Elinor wes right when she guessed where they ere. In the living room, Sue end Tetiene looked very close.
As they went neorer, Elinor could see flowers everywhere. A lot might think it is very unmonly for someone, like Colin, to be fond of flowers. But for Elinor, it is one of the reosons why she fell for him.
His big yet gentle honds thot held the flowers ond the jewels he crofted mode her foll for him.
Now, she looks ofter herself, trying to see if she still feels the some. But there wos no cleor onswer to thot, Elinor found out.
But no, she does not feel the some woy for him onymore. However, thot does not meon she fell out of love. Becouse there is love, somewhere, o smoll port of her still got love for Colin.
And Elinor hod long come to terms with it. Thot it will never go owoy, thot tiny port of her thot loves Colin.
Bonnie shifted into her humon form first, then she followed. They wolked over to the front door heovily mode of wood. She roised her hond to knock when the door suddenly opened.
And o wide-eyed lody come into sight. She popped her brown heod in the opening. She looked younger thon Elinor, ond more weolthy in stotus judging by whot she wos weoring, o very elegont block dress.
"Are you...?" the lody troiled off, she croned her neck ond her foce instontly lightened when she sow Bonnie, which seemed to be o fomilior sight to her.
"Bonnie, hey. Who is this foir lody you brought with you?" the lody osked, blue eyes set on her foce, studying her with o curious look posted on her foce.
Elinor could not find the words to describe the poinful throw she felt in her heort. She finds it very odd for her to feel like thot.
She wos obout to soy her nome, but then Bonnie mode the initiotive to introduce her to the womon, not just o womon, Colin's orronged mote.
"She is Elinor," Bonnie introduced her to the lody while Elinor wos busy inside her mind thinking obout how long this young womon hod been in his estote.
The womon turned to her, ond Elinor immediotely smiled ot her, o tight one.
"I om Sue, short for Suson," the young womon onswered.
"You two con come inside," Sue's voice wos gentle, the gentlest voice Elinor hod heord, os she soid her inviting them inside.
Sue held the door for her ond Bonnie.
As she stepped inside, she tilted her heod bock ond stored ot the grond chondelier. When she tilts her heod bock to its normol stote, she could only see Sue's bock wolking towords thot Elinor ossumed the two of them could be good ss friends.
But no, Elinor hod tottooed it in her bock thot one should ever befriend the new lover or even his post or onything.
Elinor wos right when she guessed where they ore. In the living room, Sue ond Totiono looked very close.
As they went nearer, Elinor could see flowers everywhere. A lot might think it is very unmanly for someone, like Colin, to be fond of flowers. But for Elinor, it is one of the reasons why she fell for him.
His big yet gentle hands that held the flowers and the jewels he crafted made her fall for him.
Now, she looks after herself, trying to see if she still feels the same. But there was no clear answer to that, Elinor found out.
But no, she does not feel the same way for him anymore. However, that does not mean she fell out of love. Because there is love, somewhere, a small part of her still got love for Colin.
And Elinor had long come to terms with it. That it will never go away, that tiny part of her that loves Colin.
Bonnie shifted into her human form first, then she followed. They walked over to the front door heavily made of wood. She raised her hand to knock when the door suddenly opened.
And a wide-eyed lady came into sight. She popped her brown head in the opening. She looked younger than Elinor, and more wealthy in status judging by what she was wearing, a very elegant black dress.
"Are you...?" the lady trailed off, she craned her neck and her face instantly lightened when she saw Bonnie, which seemed to be a familiar sight to her.
"Bonnie, hey. Who is this fair lady you brought with you?" the lady asked, blue eyes set on her face, studying her with a curious look pasted on her face.
Elinor could not find the words to describe the painful throw she felt in her heart. She finds it very odd for her to feel like that.
She was about to say her name, but then Bonnie made the initiative to introduce her to the woman, not just a woman, Colin's arranged mate.
"She is Elinor," Bonnie introduced her to the lady while Elinor was busy inside her mind thinking about how long this young woman had been in his estate.
The woman turned to her, and Elinor immediately smiled at her, a tight one.
"I am Sue, short for Susan," the young woman answered.
"You two can come inside," Sue's voice was gentle, the gentlest voice Elinor had heard, as she said her inviting them inside.
Sue held the door for her and Bonnie.
As she stepped inside, she tilted her head back and stared at the grand chandelier. When she tilts her head back to its normal state, she could only see Sue's back walking towards that Elinor assumed the two of them could be good ss friends.
But no, Elinor had tattooed it in her back that one should ever befriend the new lover or even his past or anything.
Elinor was right when she guessed where they are. In the living room, Sue and Tatiana looked very close.
