Chapter 4

I drove home, and as soon as I got there, I couldn’t help but go to Lily’s room. I saw some clothes on the ground, but her closet was empty. All her stuff was gone. My sister was gone. Lily’s P.O.V. The next day, I reached Xavier’s Pack’s territory, and I took a cab after I got off the train and reached the address Xavier had mentioned. It was a huge mansion and for a while, le I thought maybe I got the address wrong. A guy with dirty blond hair and brown eyes got out, and I recognised him from the pics he sent me. It was Xavier. "Finally," he said, hugging me and spinning me around. I could not tell you how self-conscious of my weight I felt right then: "You’re prettier in person." "And you’re a good liar," I giggled and hugged him again. "No, I’m not." he tilted my chin up so I’d look him in the eye. Ye "You’re beauti. Ful," I blushed, and he took my bag from my hand and led me into the house. In the living room were a bunch of guys who all stood up when I got in. "Lily these are some of the guys from the pack" he motioned to two guys with brown hair "These are the twins Jim and Dave" I nodded "this is Adrian, "he gestured to a tall blond who was smirking at me "and this is Jacob" he motioned to the brown haired cute guy smiling warmly at me. "They’re all my sixteen like me" "Nice to meet you," I said in a low voice, and suddenly I was being squished in a hug between two people. "We’ve always wanted a little s." Either Dave or Jim said, "And you’re just too cute." ", U,m thanks...can’t...really...brea, the" they le,t go and I almost fell. Adrian and Jacob just smiled and shook my hand. "I’ll show you to your room, Lily," he grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs. I still couldn’t get over how unbelievably hot they all were. Especially Xavier. Xavier opened a door, and I was just stunned. The room was HUGE. A queen-sized bed with bed sheets and drapes hanging from bedposts. A Huge dresser, but my favorite part was the balcony. I could see the whole forest. "I remembered you liked to have a view", Xavier said shyly, and I stared at him in disbelief. This...stranger that I only knew online cared. He cared and remembered the smallest things I said. Suddenly, I couldn’t hold it any longer, so I ran and wrapped my arms around him in a huge hug. He was surprised at first, but hugged me ba,ck and I couldn’t hold back the tears as I cried on his chest. "Shh..., lux it’s, okay," I heard him say as he lifted me bridal style and sat on the bed with me on his lap. "I’m sorry...I just didn’t get to continue as my door opened and the guys from the living room stood in the doorway. The twins looked at me sadly. "Why are you crying?" Jim...or was it Dave? Asked. "I guess I should tell you...Why I finally did come," I looked at Xavier and then back at the guy. "And if I’m staying with you guys, you have the right to know. Now" I sni. ffed "So you can change your mind before it’s too. late" "We won’t change our minds," Xavi, er said, tucking a strand of hair away from my face. "And you don’t have to explain now." "Y, es I do," I thought about how I was Ethan’s mate, he was the future alpha, so they needed to know. I motioned for the guys to come in, and they hesitantly sat on the couch and looked at me. "I don’t know if Xavier told you, but I’m from the Moon Light Pack," I said, and they nodded. "In short, my pack hated me. They yelled at me frequently and gave snotty remarks about how ugly or fat m am, even my brother was just like them." I felt Xavier stiffen beside me and almost laughed at how much he cared. Why hadn’t I accepted his offer long ago? "At first, I thought that maybe if I stayed, they might care. I chuckled as the tears started falling again, "That they might like having me in they’re pack and not just treat me like trash. But I was wrong." I took a shaky breath andcontinuedeYesterdayy I went to school like normal, but it wasn’t any normal day. Our future alpha, Ethan, was turning sixteen, and he was going to find his mate. When I got out of the car and Ethan looked at me. His eyes widened, but then he readjusted himself. I didn’t make any of it; it wasn’t until I was leaving school and I was trying to get to my brother’s car that my shoulder brushed his. I knew he was my mate from the electric shock." "But if you're Alpha’s mate, then why did you come here?" Adrian asked, confused. "When I told him I was his mate, he looked at me like I was crazy and said I wasn’t. I thought he just didn’t know at first, so I told him I felt the shock." I closed my eyes and gave up on wiping my tears. "He said he’d never have a fat, ugly loser as his mate and that I was pretending because I had a crush on him, and then I got it". I shook my head lightly. "My mate was rejecting me." "That asshole," The twins said at the same time, while Adrian and Jacob just looked angry as hellASs for Xavier, well, I felt his chest vibrate and heard a growl come from him.
