Why does nothing work out in my life? I'm basically the prisoner of my own mind... there is no escape... I am never going to be good enough for anyone. I feel worthless.
"Rebecca, what's wrong? " It was Liam. He walked towards me and pulled me up carefully.
"I can't do this. ", I whispered and cried onto his chest. He hugged me... trying to console me.
His lips were pressed into a thin line and his eyes were full of concern.
"This? "
"Being Xander's mate... "
"It will get better. I swear it will. Just let the bond grow. He'll come around. Chin up, Tiger ", he playfully knocked my cheek, smiled and winked.
"Why are you being so nice to me? "I asked. I caused him so much of trouble. I don't deserve his kindness.
"You remind me a lot of my sister. She passed away when I was 8. ", he said with eyes full of pain.
Now was not the time and place to ask him about her.
"It's getting cold outside.Go to bed, Rebecca. ", he smiled softly.
I nodded and we exchanged goodbyes.
I went back inside and Lyra was in the kitchen snogging Xander. I rolled my eyes and went on my way
"Wait! What is that smell? "Lyra questioned. I smelled like Liam because I hugged him. She was trying to cause a problem. It's not like Xander will care. He never does and never will.
I turned around and waited for her to speak.
"You were with a male wolf? It was liam. What were you two doing?! ", Xander shouted.
Lyra shot him a glance. She seemed upset. Was she jealous that Xander cared? Well she was a slut.
"Nothing.", I shot and walked away.
He grabbed my arm.
"Do not walk away from your alpha and speak with respect. ", he was shaking with anger. He's eyes were emotionless.
His grip was hurting me.
"Please stop! Let go. You're hurting me. ", I struggled under his grip and he let go. His eyes softened for a second and my wrist was sore. It was red. I knew it would bruise. Luckily I'm a werewolf. It will heal in a few hours but he's an alpha so it will take longer.
"I -", he held my arm carefully and examined the bruise, "it will heal. ", he almost looked apologetic - almost.
Lyra was angry and she stormed off on her heals.
It didn't phase him that she walked away. He looked a bit worried - just a bit.
He let go and walked away.

At the omega chambers, Storm helped me by putting ointment on my arm. She put a movie on in hopes of cheering me up. During the movie we discussed our day and I left out the emotional parts. She eventually made me laugh by telling me a story about how she managed to squirt milk out of her nose when she was little. She's probably the closest thing I have to a sister.
Eventually it was time to go to bed. I couldn't sleep. I was restless. Something felt odd. I opened the windows and stared at the forest. I ended up falling asleep on the floor.
----
I overslept. I was supposed to meet Lyra two hours ago!
I got to the palace and skipped breakfast as I was late.
"Where were you? Nevermind I don't care. Here's a list of things you have to do for me today. ", She smirked.
I wish I could just hit her already and be done with it.
One of the chores was cleaning the meeting room. When I got there the room was a complete mess- papers were spread everywhere and ripped up chairs were scattered around a table. An alpha probably got angry in here...
I was cleaning up the papers and saw a strange form of writing on one of the pages consisting of letters and numbers. I know this code!
No one was around so I deciphered half of it. I moved the numbers apart and decoded it.
I ended up with a word - Muvere.
"Muvere? " I whispered.
"What the moon godess is muvere?", I asked myself aloud.
"Not what -but who. ", I turned around and it was Xander. He startled me and I jumped.
"Goddess ", I shouted in suprised by his presence. He pops out of nowhere.
He walked towards me and shot me a serious look.
"Usually I punish people who snoop around but I'm actually curious as to how you deciphered that code.I've been trying to solve this for a while now. What does the rest say? ", He gave me a puzzled look and I watched him - our eyes met. Green orbs watching blue orbs. He was handsome. Our gazes interlocked for a while. I loved the way his dimples showed when he smirked and the way he spoke about things he found interesting. From what I could tell - he loved puzzles.
He blinked and looked down. That was awkward.
"Um. That number moves here and the alphabet stands for a number. But that number moves into there", I said. He looked confused and I laughed. He shot me a glare and I stopped. I cleared my throat.
We ended up with numbers this time.
"What does that mean, Xander? "
" It's coordinates. ", he said with a flat expression. He's index finger was on his chin... deep in thought.
I made an O shape with my mouth.
"Not too bad for a rogue.", He smirked. That damn smirk and his dimples. He's eyes glowed.
"Oh, please! you'd be lost without my deciphering skills", I smiled.
"Hmm... ", he smiled at me.
"What? "
" You're blushing. "
I looked down. My face was away from his gaze. He took a step towards me and Lyra entered the room.
"Baby, stop worrying about the stupid numbers and come with me. I told you it's probably some illiterate idiot who wrote random things on a page. Leave the omega to clean - I'm bored. ", She shot him a playful smirk and her fingers traced his abs. She smiled at me and I was going to rip her apart. I felt like throwing up - seeing my mate with another woman stung.
Don't hit her. Be strong! -Grace said
I took a deep breath and got back to cleaning and they left.
A few minutes later Xander came back. He took a few pages and while walking out of the room he quietly mumbled a soft, 'thank you, Little Rogue. '
I groaned after he left and got back to cleaning. He's so bipolar!
