You don't, if you have 3 monitors you can set the game to stretch across all 3, however there are literally only a handful of games that can do the same with only 2 monitors. A second monitor is used for workflow improvement and having a second screen play videos or monitoring something while you use your primary screen.

If you are playing a game on Steam, you need to hit [Shift] + [Tab] to bring up Steam Overlay, then your mouse will be free to go onto 2nd monitor.

Other non-Steam games may have different settings as far as if the mouse is allowed to move over to 2nd monitor while in-game.

edit: for some non-Steam games you might have to [Alt] + [Tab] out of the game to another open window.
