The Scarred Coincidence

'My Hero'

Just as I was about to turn the nob, the door burst open with two very angry looking men standing there.

~~~~~Xaviers P.O.V~~~~

After my one on me talk with the goddess, I headed home. My thoughts were swarmed with one thing, one person. 

FUCK

I still don't know her name. I know her past. I know she is the strongest woman I've met. And I know she will do anything to protect the innocent. Other than that, I only know the mask shes putting up. Shes scared, scared of everything around her, but has the courage to believe everything will get better. Her mask is thick. A mask to protect an angel.

Like an angel undercover.

Dun, dun, dun!!

Cue the minion music.

I don't think I'll need to know her. She is crazy, right? She isn't qualified for me, She is a peasant?

'Lies, your mind is trying to convince you with lies.' My wolf reasoned.

'But we both know we are no good for her.' I responded.

'But she is our mate.' My wolf whined.

'She was made for us.'

'No we were made for hell, she was made for heaven. We are a burden. Nothing more, nothing less. She deserves more, more than we will ever be.' I told him.

He wined because he knew I was right but didn't say anything further. 

 Darrius and I were doing patrol. Its something we do when we need to clear our heads. We ran in wolf form to the northern border. We have trained troops for our patrols but they informed us of a rouge situation along the border that we might want to investigate.

When we reached the northern border the rouges were already dealt with. None-the-less we still ran around. Darrius and I have been friends forever since we were babies. His parents knew what happened with my father and kind of became my foster parents. They were always there to heal me and my sister's beatings. He was my support guy. He knows why I can't have a mate. He is the one person I can vent to. 

I came to slow at a river. My paws stamped the grass until I leaped into the water. Me being me, I changed to my human form mid-air. Darrius copied and we both ended up in the water. I let myself sink fully knowing I will come back up. As I was sinking I opened my eyes to a bright moon above the sparkling water. It was a beautiful sight until my eyes started coming to a close. My lungs contracted, but I was peaceful. I didn't want to come back up to the surface, to reality, to the depressing adventure I call 'life'.

Two strong arms I knew pretty well enveloped me and dragged me to the surface. When my face came above the water, I took a huge breath. 

"You dumb shit," Darrius yelled.

I looked at him with a bored expression and climbed back to shore. I laid my back on the cool substance of mud.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He asked. Honestly, I don't know why he was still yelling.

"Hello. Earth to dick-" He said but I cut him off with my sigh.

He sat down next to me and put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. 

"What am I gonna do?" I whispered after a moment of silence.

"What you are gonna do is walk your fat ass and get to know her, love her, protect her." He said.

"But it is not that easy and you know it."

"It doesn't mean you can't try. Shes your goddess-given mate. She is the only one for you, the only one who can touch and make you feel the way you do. Oh, how the goddess knows how much I would give to get my mate back."
