Arabella

~ 22 ~

Two days. It's been two whole days since she walked out on me. I knew she was with Brody and I knew she wouldn't just leave him. I didn't expect to feel this broken though.

Tomorrow is Monday and I don't know how I will be able to face her. But the thought of not going and just not being near her? That's even worse.

So here I am at some stupid party in the pack house. Well I'm really hiding by the pool until everyone leaves because I'm not in the party mood. I also haven't been inside my house since she left. I can't.

"Oh my god! Let's go skinny dipping!" Some chick says behind me making me roll my eyes. Next thing I know a bunch of girls are rushing naked to the pool. I've seen most of them naked before since we all shift in front of each other. Our clothes don't dissappear when we shift but some people like idea of being in the complete natural state to shift. That however doesn't mean I want to see it now.

Before I am able to get up off the chair the pool is full of random people laughing and splashing each other. I watch for a minute before my phone starts ringing. Who the hell is calling me? After I pull my phone out of my pocket I become annoyed that i don't know the number.

As a beta I get a lot of calls from random numbers so I know I should answer it.

"Davis." I snap rather harshly.

"Are you busy?" My back straightens and my heart stops as I hear my mates voice. "Actually I can hear that you are busy but I really need your help. I know you probably hate me for walking out on you but I'm really scared Xander." I could hear the quiver in her voice and immediately I'm on guard. I could never hate her.

"Where are you?"

"Home." She whispers giving me goosebumps but in a bad way. I shoot up from my chair and start running. If I run in human form at full speed I'll be there in five minutes. There is a shortcut through the woods plus I can run faster than men.

"What's wrong?" I ask quickly.

"Just break the door it's probably locked. Ugh! It hurts so bad. Hurry and come in I don't care please hurry." She hangs up after that and I start to panic. Break the door? Why would I need to break her door?

Within five minutes I'm at her front door. The lights are on but it's quiet inside other than the tv. I become even more scared and when I get to the front door I grab the handle yanking it. It comes out and breaks the door almost in two but I don't care I'll buy them a new door.

As soon as I step in the house my mates smell hits me like a truck. The other smell that hits me is one I have come to loath. Brody.

I walk to go up the stairs and Brody begins descending them. He looks shocked to see me but that's not what makes my blood run cold. It's the fact he is only in his boxers and he came from Arabellas room. I know that because it's the only room to the right side of the stairs.

"Xander? What are you doing here?"

"Where is Arabella?" I ask.

"Upstairs." I go to walk upstairs but he steps infront of them. "She's not feeling well so I think it would be best if you came back another time." He says with a scowl . I'm not leaving until I see her.

"Arabella!" I yell and not two seconds later I hear feet hit the floor upstairs, I'm assuming from her bed. she comes running out to the stairs and when she sees me she runs down the stairs with a smile on her face. Goddess I love her smile.

She shoves Brody out of the way and throws herself at me skipping the last stair. I don't hesitate to catch her and she wraps her arms around my neck pulling me to her. She's never hugged me like this but I don't care I'll take it.
