*************************************************************************************************************
One week later, everyone, especially myself, was anticipating the arrival of my father and Xavier. My father called the night before letting Chase know that they were on their way home. I was very excited about it, since I missed Xavier deeply.
I looked at the clock and figured I shouldn't spend the next 4 hours being bored, so I hopped out of bed and jumped into the shower. A short hour later I got out, dried myself off and got dressed. I found a cute white halter top that was tight around my breasts and some cute denim short shorts. I remember Xavier telling me he liked this exact outfit and I wanted to surprise him.
I bounced to my makeup bag and threw on some simple mascara, knowing my beauty would make up for the rest. I grabbed my blow dryer and then curled my hair into big spiral curls then fluffed it all up, making it look styled yet sexy.
An hour later I was sitting at a table tapping my foot anxiously as I waited for them to open the door. I still had an hour left so I went to go get my book that I was currently reading and then went back into the kitchen. Sarah was sitting at the table painting her fingernails a purple metallic color perfect for her personality, dark yet bubbly. I sat next to her and pulled out my book before she placed her hand on the face of my book and threw it across the room.
"Hey!" I yelled.
She laughed. "Sorry, but I want to talk to you, and if you have a book in front of your face, there is no way I'm going to get you out of the world of mystical vampires."
"True. Well, then what do you want to talk about?"
"Life girl! We don't chat as much as you found your lovey dovey mate, which I don't blame you, but come on! I'm your bestest friend ever, no matter what Jase says, and I want to catch up."
"Okay, okay. Jeesh! Calm down Sarah. Any luck finding a mate?"
"Are you kidding me?! You didn't know? Yes, I found my mate. His name is Cole and he is the omega of this pack… unfortunately. You may not know him much but we are both mated with each other and I am so happy!" she blabbered.
"Really? Yeah, I know Cole, kinda. Hmm.. Well good for you, Sar Bear!" I said using her nickname I gave her when we were little.
"So how are you and sexy?" she asked.
"Good. I'm so glad I found my mate Sarah! You don't even know! He's perfect and..."
"Oh no..." sarah said cutting me off.
I looked behind me to see where she was looking. I saw my father walk in first. I jumped up knowing Xavier would follow, and walked over towards the door. Xavier stepped in then and I jumped into his arms before seeing guilt and anguish on his face. I stepped back just as I saw a dark haired girl walk into the house clinging to Xavier's arm.
I jumped back surprised, then saw the hurt in Xavier's eyes when he looked at me, and I knew. That was his mate.
I then looked back at her and instantly knew she was human. She had long, black, flat hair. Her face was oval and her eyes were big and brown. She wasn't beautiful, but she wasn’t ugly. I felt a pain in my chest and knew it was my heart breaking, in tiny pieces, and then all at once.
I cursed the silent tears that swarmed my eyes and turned away quickly wanting to run away, but couldn't find it in my will to do so.
"Sage, I-I'm so sorry," Xavier pleaded his voice cracking.
If I didn't know better, I would think he was crying, but I knew him- strong, glorious Xavier- and knew he wouldn't.
"Is that the whore you were with before me?" I heard her say.
That snapped something inside me, but before I could swing my hand at her meaty face, Xavier blocked me. So, instead of hitting queen bitch I hit Xavier's shoulder instead.
"Excuse me? What were you saying?" I asked around Xavier's body.
"I asked if you were the whore that Xavier slept with before he found me. I now understand why he picked me. I mean, you're hideous and I'm beautiful. Who wouldn't pick me right?" she bitched. Her voice screeched each time she ended her sentence, like she wasn’t properly educated and it ignited the fire in me even more. She was nothing compared to me, and everyone standing around us knew it- they just didn’t want to say anything. There was nothing I could really say to her without getting in trouble for, but she was a human. She wasn’t good enough for a guy like Xavier- a soon to be Alpha.
"What the hell Xavier? Do you see this? How could you?" I screamed.
"Sage, you know we don't choose these things. I saw her at a diner, um, dancing, and knew she was my mate," he answered.
"Wait, hold up, she's a stripper!" I exclaimed.
"No, back it up. I am not a stripper. I am an exotic pole dancer!" she argued.
Wow, is all I could think. Even better. Now Xavier has an exotic pole dancer on his hands, that is human. He down graded in ways that I don’t even think is possible. And even though I knew she was nothing compared to me, the fact that she now had Xavier made her that much more powerful than me, despite all the strength I had- and all the anger.
Before I could even argue over how she was the whore, not me, the girl grabbed Xavier and stuck her tongue in his mouth and started kissing him aggressively. She looked at me and raised her eyebrow in a mocking gesture. That was the last straw. I slammed my fist into her thick jaw before bolting out of that house and into the backyard. I didn't even bother taking off my clothes before I shifted into my gorgeous, yet small white wolf and ran off into the woods.
I didn't stop running until I was out of pack territory. I felt my brother try to speak to me through the mind link, but I pushed him out and blocked all of my pack mates. After another hour or two of running outside of my territory, my wolf stumbled on a branch and landed in a heap on the forest floor. I was too lazy to get back up and continue my run so I laid there, trying to sleep, but my wolf was too thoughtful so I shifted back into my human form and drifted off, naked and cold.
