Shayne was not in the right mind to argue, he was busy to mindlink all the warriors that he had deployed to look for his mate with no avail.
People asked where he and Fenja were last night during the festivity, but he could only give them a vague answer.
Fenja, where are you?!
Shayne felt like he was going crazy, but thankfully, one of his warriors spotted Fenja. She was in her beast form, walking toward the pack house.
She finally came home.
Relief washed over Shayne's body, as he went to the door and waited for her there.
He saw her when she shifted into her human skin. Her long black hair was disheveled and her green eyes were red, she had been crying.
"Fenja, where have you been?! You make me worry sick!" Shayne immediately approached his mate with open arms, he wanted to hold her, but the look in her eyes made him stop.
Fenja glared passed through him and when he followed her line of sight, he found Nadia was standing at the door behind him.
That was when he realized he had committed the second mistake.
On the other hand, Fenja had been thinking what she was going to do throughout the night. She didn't want to throw away this precious mate bond between her and Shayne for one mistake.
After all, a mate bond was a sacred thing that you could ask for, the precious gift from the moon goddess for all the shifters.
Therefore, Fenja decided to return and talk about this with Shayne. She was trying to figure out if this bond could be saved.
More so, she couldn't avoid Shayne forever.
However, her resolution was shattered, her hope crumbled once again when she saw Nadia was still there.
After what happened, Shayne still kept her around!
"What that whore is doing here?!" Fenja snapped. She had never raised her voice before this, but her anger made her see red.
This was not her proudest moment, but she couldn't help it. Her fury sang through her veins. She Felt her beast was enraged by the sight of that woman.
"Fenja!" Shayne raised his voice when he heard how Fenja cursed at Nadia. He had never seen this side of her.
Fenja used to be very kind and gentle, but for her to call other names was hard to discern.
Yet, who could blame her completely after what she just witnessed and the emotional turmoil she had gone through in less than twenty four hours. Fenja was in agony.
It was Shayne, who ruined everything, but why it should be her, who was in pain and picked up the pieces? This was unfair!
"That's uncalled for! We can talk about this inside calmly." Shayne tried to deescalate the situation. He glanced over his shoulder and watched how Nadia was about to cry too with the way Fenja disrespected her. "We can talk together about what happened calmly."
"I don't want to breath the same air as her." Fenja glared at Shayne to even suggest that.
"Why are you being so cruel with me? You shouldn't have thrown a tantrum over a mistake." Tears welled up in Nadia's eyes. "If you really valued the sacred bond between you two, you shouldn't have run off and instead talk it through! You don't think your mate is important enough to hear his explanation. Do you know how worry Shayne was last night?"
Fenja was livid. "It's so rich coming from you to talk about the sanctity of the mate bond, someone who rejected her own fated mate because he was below your status!"
Nadia indeed had rejected her destined mate two years ago, because the poor man was only a warrior, and also, she was still waiting for Shayne.
She silently wished that the alpha wouldn't find his destined mate, so she would be his chosen mate.
There was no one that suited Shayne, except her. But, the beautiful plan had to change because a year ago, Shayne found Fenja, she just turned eighteen at that time.
"You are only a fucking omega! Don't you dare to talk to me in that way!"
"That's enough Nadia!" Shayne had to handle Fenja first. "You can leave now!"
Hearing that, Nadia burst into tears, as she rushed away from them. She felt really broken because Shayne raised his voice on her, something that he had never done before.
This must be the bad influence from that omega. She only brought disease!
"That's a mistake, Fenja." Shayne followed her to her bedroom. Once Nadia left, Fenja ignored him again and went inside the pack house. "You need to understand."
Fenja turned around and snapped at Shayne. "What should I understand?! It was you, who had been fooling around with the woman that you kept saying as your 'little sister', but why it's me, who needs to understand you?!"
This was a very ridiculous request from Shayne. As the alpha, he should be the smart one.
"Fenja, let me explain. It's only a one time thing, don't make it sound like I have been betraying you all this time."
"The mate bond should be enough to prevent that." Fenja gritted her teeth, holding herself back from crying. "How could you betray me?"
Shayne sighed. "This must be because I left for the battle soon after I found you."
"Is that even enough of a reason?! You should have rejected me in the first place! We could have saved everyone from this headache!"
Shayne was trying to appease her anger, but it seemed, she was getting madder with every word he said. He was clueless of what to do.
"Don't be reckless. You need to think about this thoroughly."
Fenja was very disappointed with the way Shayne didn't own up his mistake, from the way he talked and how he wanted to calm her down, he downplayed what he did.
He didn't think this was a big mistake. Only a simple one that could be fixed by 'talking'.
