Xander's Pov:

It's been two months since Angel and I's argument and it's been absolute hell since then. After our argument my parents and I left after two days because Angel refused to talk to me and his father nearly killed me when he heard what happened between us. His uncle was a different case though. After Chantelle heard about it he damn near almost destroyed my chances of having kids in the future. If it weren't for Angel's mom I would be having some serious groin pains. Helena was upset with me as well but after I explained to her everything that happened she understood and told me to talk to my parents about what I told her. Angel didn't reject me, he just doesn't want anything to do with me right now and it hurt so fucking bad.

I haven't been to school since then and I've been getting constant calls and messeges from Brady, Shido, Malik and the rest of my friends but I haven't answered or responded to any of them. I stopped eating, smiling, talking, I was basically dead and it's all my fault. My coronation is in a couple of weeks and I wasn't looking forward to it because I wanted Angel to be there but it doesn't look like he's coming.

I didn't mean what I said to Angel and I realized that it was pointless in not letting him touch my ass. He was my mate and he had the right to touch me wherever and whenever he wanted. If only I had realized that sooner.

The reason why I never wanted him to touch my ass was because of a horrific experience I went through when I was only a pup. Yes, I was raped, multiple times. I was currently on my way to my parents room because it was time I told them what happened all those years ago. I opened the door and they were sitting in bed watching TV.

"Can I talk to you guys?" I asked they nodded with concerned expressions.

"Of course sweety, what do you wanna talk about?" My mom asked as he turned off the TV and I made my way over before laying down between them and my mom caressed my hair.

"Promise me that you'll listen before saying anything" I asked and they were silent for a while.

"We promise bambi" My dad said and I smiled sadly at the nickname. He only called me that when he was worried about me.

"From the moment I hit seven I knew that I would be a great king. Of course I knew before that but when I was seven I finally understood what the title meant. It meant protecting your kingdom, leading them to greatness, and being a family. I remember you would always sit in the field with me and you'd always say 'Xander, one day you will lead this kingdom and it's your job to protect it no matter what" I said while looking at my dad with a sad smile.
