Lily

Chapter seventy seven

Lily's Pov

Flashback

"Xavier, what would ever happen if we were separated from each other?"I suddenly asked as I turned to face my mate as I lay I his arms.

"What's makes you ask that,flower?"My mate questioned me, concern in his eyes, and I reached to cup his cheek in my hand to get rid of his worry.

"Nothing, I just...we have faced so much and I like this."I said as I looked away from Xavier.

I had finally found my home,my sanctuary with my mate but I couldn't help but feel scared that me and Xavier would be separated.

That me and my mate wouldn't find our way back to each other.

You could say I was worried about the threats we were receiving but I couldn't help but worry. I wanted things to stay as they were. With me in Xavier's arms and me feeling nothing but content and peace.

I liked feeling carefree and happy.

I wanted it to stay that way.

My mate turned my face towards his,cupping my face with his calloused hands and I nuzzled into his provided warmth.

"I will never let you go. You will not be taken away from me,and mate's can't be separated . No matter the threat,I would find my way back to you and I would burn this world to find you. I would search every inch,every crook and cranny until you were back in my arms again. Anyone that came between us would be shown no mercy,"Xavier proclaimed and I looked up with him with tears in my eyes.

"You may be lost,Lily,but you will be found,"he said and kissed me.

End of flashback

I thought back to the memories I held my mate. In my time of missing of my mate, I remembered what time we had spent together.

The more I thought about my mate, though, the more my mark hurt.

As I cried out in pain for the tenth time,the wooden door opened and revealed none other than Xander.

"Enough! Stop screaming, stop making so much noise! I can't stand it!"He yelled walking over to me.

He lifted me up from the floor holding me tightly and I had little to no warning as Xander extended his canines before digging them harshly into my neck where my mark lay.

My mark started to feel like it was on fire as I screamed out,but Xander didn't stop. He kept his canines in my neck for a few more minutes before lifting them out, throwing me to the floor in the process.

"That's better,now you are marked with my mark,you are now my mate."Xander smirked.

"Have you learnt your lesson yet,precious?"he said as knelt down beside me,grasping my chin hus rough hands.

I spat at him in reply,wincing as my neck throbbed with pain.

Mu captor chuckled,pulling over a wooden creaky chair and sitting down on it. "You know Lily? I don't think I have told you about my first mate Mirabella, "Xander said and I perked up at hearing the name that caused so many questions in my mind.

"Ah,sparked some interest have I? Well let me tell you about Mirabella. Although, I have to say I do prefer you over her especially since you are alive and she is dead,"Xander chuckled.

I was about to ask a question when Xander yet again cut me off.

"Curious are we? Mirabella was originally my brother's mate,but I knew she preferred me to him. She was just too scared to admit it,so when Xavier was distracted,I marked her. She didn't react well to it and died from it. And now I have you,"Xander said, cupping my face.

Everything started to make sense. Mirabella was Xavier's first mate, that's why her name was tattooed on Xavier's chest.

"Your sick!"I shouted at him,earning a slap from Xander.

My vision started to go blurry and I knew something was wrong with me. The door suddenly opened and Harry appeared,his gaze  lingering on me for a second too long.

"Alpha,your brother has crossed the border,we-"Harry was cut off Xander snarling at him.

"Ready the soldiers don't let them get to the pack house,"Xander ordered and Harry nodded before leaving us alone.

"Don't worry,precious, Xavier won't find you.  Not if I have anything to do with it,"He said before pecking my lips and stormed out of the room.

The door slammed shut and through my pain,I thought of only one thing.

My mate was coming...
