CHAPTER 26

~Avery~

I could not attend lectures because I was not feeling good at all, I could not remember everything that happened the previous night, the only memory that I had was the sex with Xander even though, he did not mark me, I tried not to think about it because it would only make me cry.

At least, I made a new friend at his coronation party, so, the only people that I had were Tyler and Ashley, I was patiently waiting for school to be over, so, that I would go to her room and maybe, sleep over because I did not want to be in the same space with him.

The words that he told me kept ringing in my head and there was no way to make it stop.

I was still deep in my thoughts when I heard a loud knock on the door, it was so aggressive and I knew exactly who it was, the same person that I wanted to run away from.

I reluctantly stood up from my bed and walked to the door to open it with shaky hands and a racing heart.

He pushed the door open, almost hitting me, his eyes were pitch black and I was scared of what I had done to him, this time.

He shut the door behind him and I flinched then retreated backwards, he grabbed me and slammed me against the wall.

‘’What happened last night?’’ He questioned me.

He was not serious at all, why exactly was he asking me that question?

I was sure that he remembered everything except he wanted to play dumb.

‘’Uh…’’

I was not sure of the reply to give him, ‘’Answer me!’’

‘’Just tell me what you both did, maybe, he hit his head on a rock and lost his memory or something.’’ Kira told me.

‘’We had sex.’’ I muttered.

He stepped back and stared at me as I was an irritating piece of shit.

‘’Do not ever remind me of such horrible incident again, that was a mistake that I will never make again.’’ He deadpanned, not caring about hurting my feelings.

He was really good at hurting me with his words.

My eyes were teary as I thought of how the best moment of my life was a just a mistake to him.

‘’Nothing else happened aside that.’’ I voiced out in a sad tone.

He shot me a very deadly glare as he dug his fingers into my arm, causing me to wince in pains.

‘’Lex, you are hurting me.’’ I cried out, hoping that he would stop but it became deeper.

‘’Do I look like I give a flying fuck about that?! What exactly did you tell Tyler?!’’ He yelled at me.

If only he could understand that my head was completely blank at this point then he would leave me.

‘’Do not make me hit you! Answer me now and stop acting like you are mute being!’’ He ordered.

‘’I told him that I liked you.’’

I was already in serious trouble and nobody was going to save me.

‘’And?’’ He asked in a very calm tone.

‘’Nothing.’’ I replied him, honestly.

I notice that his jaw clenched and he balled his fist, he started pacing around the room, not destroying anything yet.

‘’You, bloody liar! This is one of the reasons why I will never accept you as my mate.’’

‘’I told you that nobody should find out that we are mates but what did you do?! You decided to run your lousy mouth like a tap to my beta!’’ He stated.

That was when my memory slowly came back, oh, goddess, what have I done to myself?

Why did Tyler tell him? He would have at least kept his mouth shut and pretended like he never heard that, I was never going to drink alcohol again.

‘’I am so-sorry.’’ I stuttered while apologizing.

He stared at me with disbelief in his eyes before chuckling, ‘’You are sorry?! Will your filthy apology fix this mess, now? How do you even expect me to have a Luna who cannot keep her mate’s secret?! You were so emotional, last night that you could not hold it, any longer…’’

‘’Your naïve self assumed that telling Tyler about it would make me like you or even accept you, you just could not stand Alison being happy with me, in as much as I do not like her, I would still choose her over you in any life that we find ourselves as mates.’’ He added.

‘’I didn’t have any of those intentions, I swear. Please, believe me.’’ I begged him.

‘’I saved you from your brother and this is how you repay me?! Guess what?! If Tyler happened to inform my dad about us and he forces me to accept you because he is in a business partnership with your father, I would make you suffer every single day and nobody would have a say in how I treat because you are my mate and Luna. You would be the laughing stock of the werewolf world and you would wish that you had never met me or worst still, you would wish for death but it would never come.’’ He told me.

‘’I don’t think you know how much I detest seeing your face, perceiving your scent, it makes me sick, if there is a way to eliminate me from your miserable world then please, do because you are a thorn in the flesh.’’

I should never have taken those few moments seriously; he was back to his former self even worse.

‘’Just keep praying to the goddess that Tyler does not tell a single soul about this and don’t even think of crying to Ashley even though, she likes you, she would not want you to be part of the royal family that would just be too degrading for us.’’ He stated before walking out of the room.

I dropped to the ground slowly and his words kept replaying as hot tears streamed down my face.

How long was he going to continue treating me, this way?

I do not want to spend the rest of my life crying over a guy that would never mark me as his Luna.

There was one way out of this mess, I was going to plead with Tyler to keep his mouth sealed if he actually cared about our friendship.
