Chapter 42
He walked towards me and took my face in both his hands letting his face be just mere inches from mine. “I won’t ever hurt you like he did Lily, not ever. I’ll treat you right, I’ll treat you the way you should be treated. I won’t ever take you for granted. Just give me a chance”
“Why me Xavier? I’m not perfect you know that more than anyone you’ve seen me at my worst”
Xavier shook his head “Yeah I’ve seen you at your worst and at your best and let me tell you something, not once did I ever want to change you. You’re perfect to me Lily and you always will be”
I shook my head trying to clear it “just let me think about it Xavier okay?”
“I love you Lily” he said and kissed my forehead “I really do.” he pulled away and cleared his throat “take all the time you need and don’t worry nothing will change if you don’t want it too okay?”
I nodded and walked away, more like ran away but you get my drift. I ran to my room and found the twins sitting on my bed. As soon as they spotted me they rushed to me
“How could you not tell us?” Dave said Ná´‡w novel chapters are publɪshed on
“when?”
“You idiot they just made up last night, ergo, last night” Jim told him and then gasped “ARE WE GONNA HAVE LUX AND JASON BABIES?”
“I all dibs on being godfather” Dave said raising his hand in the air and jumping like a five year old
“Wow wow guys wait a sec” I told them holding my hands up “I’ll explain once you let me talk”
They immediately shut up and I chuckled. We sat on my bed and I explained everything to them, and somewhere along the way they brought ice cream but without cookies ause we ran out. I thanked god I could eat a lot as a werewolf and stay the way I am.
“Wow” they said “What are you going to say?”
I sighed “I have no idea. In the end one of them is going to get hurt…God I feel like such a bitch”I put my head in my hands and Dave patted my back comfortingly.
“if you think about it Lily Ethan has hurt you so it would be some kind of payback” Jim said and I took a big spoonful of Ice cream
“Okay I admit I wanted him to regret rejecting me but this is just taking it too far. One: I couldn’t do that even to Ethan and two: I don’t want to use Xavier as revenge. If I’m going to be with him it has to be because I want to”
“well frankly I’m Team Xavier in this love triangle” Dave said and I stared at him dubiously. “What? You can’t tell me this doesn’t look like the movies. You know, Team Xavier and Team Ethan. Hey!” he snapped is fingers “Maybe they’ll make dolls of us”
“I’d be the cooler twin in the movie” Jim said with a grin and Dave hit him on the arm and said ’nu’uh” which started a war of “nu-uh” and “Uh-Huhs”
“OKAY GUYS” I said and looked down at the now empty bowl of ice cream “I’m going to get more” they nodded and resumed their argument. I rolled my eyes as I got out of my room.
I reached the kitchen and was surprised to see Whitney standing there with a smirk
“How are you Lily?” she asked and I walked past her to the refrigerator.
“Now that your here?” I asked and her smirk grew.
“you know Ethan doesn’t really want you right?” she said and I bit my tongue to prevent myself from lashing out on her.
“you know that whole denial thing your in is getting lame” I told her and for a second anger flashed through her eyes.
“Oh really? Ethan tells me everything Lily” she said and I nodded
“keep saying that to yourself” she glared at me and it was my turn to smirk now.
“Well then how do I know you’re his mate?” I froze “A few people have been suspecting that but no one has been sure but he told me. He rejected you flat out” she laughed “It’s just his wolf that reacts like that when around you not him. He told me himself he doesn’t want you”
I searched for an angle to prove her lying but there wasn’t one. What else could explain her being so sure we’re mates? It was true
I wonder how many ways are there to kill her? My wolf said I would go with the slowest, the most painful.
I didn’t answer as I forced myself to shrug nonchalantly “Frankly, you an have him” I forgot about the ice cream. I was so stupid, Of course Ethan wouldn’t care! why did I think he would?
How could I have convinced myself it wasn’t just his wolf? He wouldn’t get hurt if I was with Xavier, he wouldn’t care as long as he has Whitney. And I would be an idiot if I let a good guy who actually cares about me slip away because I was scared about hurting a jerk’s feelings
Xavier where are you? I asked him
In my room
I nodded though he ouldn’t see and marched to his room. As soon as I knocked the door flung open and Xavier appeared looking hopeful but scared. I threw myself on him and hugged him.
“I’m giving you a chance” I whispered in his ear “I trust you Xavier”
I pulled back and Xavier was staring at me in shock “you mean?” I nodded and suddenly a smile broke on his face.
