Chapter 55
Ethan lifted my chin gently and looked in my eyes "you have nothing to be sorry about, Lily." he smiled "Look can we just not hate each other? I don’t think I can handle thinking you hate me again."
I chuckled "I never hated you Ethan, as much as I tried, I never did"
he gave me a weak smile and then glanced at the door "We should get going. Lunch is almost over" I nodded and we headed out the door.
The rest of the day passed quickly and I found myself just remembering the feel of Ethan’s touch and each time I would get that delicious shiver.
When school was done I immediately took my bike and went to Ren’s place. I knocked and her mom answered the door
"Hey Lily honey it’s good to see you again" she said with a sad smile
"Good to see you too. Is Ren here? she didn’t come today and I was kind of worried"
her mom sighed and nodded, gesturing for me to come in. I did and she told me Ren would be in her room.
I went to Ren’s room and knocked
"Mom I told you I don’t want to go out" Ren said "Just give me time"
"It’s Lily Ren" I said and I heard a growl. What the hell? I opened the door
"Did you just growl at me?" I asked but froze when I saw how she looked. Her hair was a mess, her eyes red and her face tear-stained. "Oh my god Ren what’s wrong?"
She bursted out crying and I went and hugged her. What could have happened that she was so torn.
"Ren tell me what’s wrong"
"You’ll hate me" she sobbed "If I tell you you’ll hate me and...and I can’t... I can’t Oh god Lily" she cried and I tried to comfort her.
"Calm down and tell me I won’t hate you I swear"
The sobs started calming down and she stayed quiet a while before talking
"My mate rejected me"
My eyes widened. WHAT?!?! Now I knew why she looked the way she did. I remember being devastated when Ethan said he didn’t want me. I spent days in complete depression.
"WHAT?! Who is he? When did you meet him?" I pulled away and looked at her showing her how angry I am "Who’s ass will I kick?"
She shook her head. Why didn’t she want to tell me? I would go and demand he explain himself after giving him a beating or two
"Who is it Ren?" I said with determination "Why don’t you want to tell me? What are you scared of? I-"
"It’s Xavier" she blurted out and put her hands over her mouth just as I froze. Xavier? My Xavier? "Please don’t hate me I know he’s your boyfriend and all Lily but please don’t hate me."
I narrowed my eyes and became even angrier "I’ll be right back" I got up ignoring her protests and ran downstairs, got on my bike and headed as fast as I can to the pack house.
As soon as I reached the pack house I got off the bike before it was even off properly and stormed inside
"JASON CARTER LENYX" I said heading to the living room.
"Uh-Oh, Full name. Man, what did you do?" I heard Adrian ask Xavier.
"I have no idea" Xavier replied. I walked in the living room and saw all my guys along with Ethan and Keith all looking at me, my eyes fell on Xavier and I glared. Xavier got up and took a step back noticing my anger.
"Lily, calm down. What’s wrong?"
I walked towards him and, without even thinking, slapped him. I would usually go with a punch but I had to remember he was an alpha and that would piss him off more
"You" I shoved him "Dare" another shove "Ask me" a rougher shove "What’s WRONG"
"Lily could you stop shoving me and explain" he said and I fumed at him
"After seeing what I went through when my mate rejected me." I hit his chest and saw Ethan wince through my peripheral vision "After comforting me and calling him a prick" I continued hitting him on his arms and chest just venting out my anger "You have the nerve to reject your own MATE"
I pulled away and glared at him, breathing heavily "now call me insane but that’s not the Xavier I know. Because the Xavier I know would never put his mate through so much pain"
"I didn’t reject her" he said through clenched teeth and I snorted
"Sure looks like it to me"
Xavier’s expression turned saddened "I didn’t reject her Lily I was just...lost" he gulped "I promised I wouldn’t hurt you when I asked you to be with me. I promised to treat you right. And then I found Ren after such a short time with you. I didn’t want to break my promise and hurt you Lily." he sighed and shifted on his feet nervously
"I didn’t want her to know because I needed just a while to figure out how to tell you. To figure things out with you. I didn’t want her to wait for me, I was going to tell her I swear. I would never reject her."
I stared at him in shock. So he didn’t confront his mate because of me. I smiled weakly and hugged him
"You’re my best friend Jase" I told him hugging him tightly "I know you would never hurt me" I pulled away and looked at him "But I would’ve understood. I would have been happy for you, what kind of person would I be if I got mad that you found your mate?"
"I’m sorry Lily"
I smiled at him "Why are you sorry? I’m fine. Now, I suggest you go to your mate. She’s not feeling too good"
