Chapter 56: Chapter 56
Xavier nodded and kissed me on the cheek before leaving. I smiled, I was happy for Xavier. But a small part of me was jealous that he was going to be happy with his mate. I pushed that part aside and told myself not to be selfish. Xavier deserved the best.
Xavier’s P.O.V.
I drove to Ren’s place feeling a huge weight off my shoulders. I was so worried of hurting Lily, I kept trying to come up with ways to tell her so she wouldn’t feel abandoned or get mad. When I saw her glaring at me I knew that she found out and thought she was going to yell at me for leading her on. But I should’ve known. Lily would never be like that.
I pulled up in front of Ren’s house and went to her door, taking a deep breath before knocking. her mom, Clara the pack doctor, opened the door but once she saw it was me she threw me a dirty look and went to slam the door in my face but I stuck my foot out, she has been doing that each time I would come to explain to Ren, I’ve had enough.
"I’m going to talk to her whether you like it or not" I said and followed Ren’s scent to her room. I opened her door and found her crying on her bed. my heart tore at the sight of her, and it was my fault.
Her head snapped up to look at me and she gave me a glare. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice hoarse from crying.
"I’m here to explain" I said "I’ve been calling and coming over here for days and you won’t listen."
"I don’t want to listen. You didn’t want me to know we’re mates. You rejected me for Lily. What more is there?" she stood up from her bed "What more do you want to say"
"I didn’t reject you" I said and she snorted
"You sure as hell didn’t accept me either. I thought I’d have a happily ever after with my mate look where I am now"
I walked over to her to hold her in my arms but she just punched my chest Once, twice and then started delivering a series of punches. I let her vent but after a while I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her to me as she sobbed into my chest.
"Why?!" she croaked out and I couldn’t stand the weakness in her voice.
"I’m so sorry" I said "I didn’t reject you I just wanted time to tell Lily so I wouldn’t hurt her."
"So hurting me is easier?" she asked and I pulled awayand looked at her straight in the eyes.
"I’d never hurt you. That’s why I didn’t want you to know and when you I wanted to explain but you wouldn’t let me. You didn’t answer my calls and didn’t let me see you."
She looked at me guiltily "Well what do you expect i was pissed" I chuckled and hugged her again, loving the feeling of her in my arms. "Lily knows"
I laughed "I know she came fuming to the house and kept hitting me for, yelling at me for rejecting my mate. That was the only thing she was mad about, just that I hurt you. She said she was happy for me"
I felt Ren smile against my chest "I understand why you didn’t want to tell me Xavier. I know lux means a lot to you."
"You do too Ren. you mean so much to me your my mate and I’m so sorry I hurt you" I said and she smiled her beautiful smile
"It’s okay"
We both leaned in and when our lips met it was like the world exploded. My mate was in my arms, it was perfect. Our kiss turned heated and when soon enough we found ourselves making out on the bed.
I was just about to mark her, my teeth grazing her soft sking, when a knock sounded on her door.
"I’m glad you too made up but don’t try anything under my roof" her mom scolded and I laughed, pulling away as Ren groaned.
I kissed her lightly and she smiled "This is perfect" she sighed and closed her eyes. I brushed her hair aside and smiled, looking down at my gorgeous mate
"Yeah, it is"
Lily’s P.O.V.
"PARTY TONIGHT" Jim yelled in my ear at school. I winced and reached to cover my ears.
"You didn’t have to be so loud" I said "What’s the occasion" Jim shook his head and looked at me in exasperation
"Christmas is near" he stated and then beamed "Do you think it’ll snow here? you know how much you love snow
"It snows ever winter here" Keith answered "And I know why lux loves snow so much" Keith said and I looked at him confused.
"Why?" I asked with the twins, he looked at me in shock.
"You seriously don’t remember?" he asked and I shook my head, he sighed. "You were five and I was six. Dad was really busy then with his beta duties he barely had time for us or even mom. But she wouldn’t say anything. One day when he came home you started giving him the silent treatment wouldn’t even look at him" he chuckled "When he asked what was wrong you said that he was ignoring us. So dad felt really guilty he told us that he would take us out for dinner and then go anywhere we want. Only problem is the car broke down and we got stuck in the snow."
