My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter XXV

Separated

Xavier growled at him and protectively stood in front of me. "Oh come now, there's no need for that. I would never hurt my beautiful mate." Brad rolled his eyes and gave a smile.

"You missed me?" He turned his attention to me and grinned widely. Xavier growled and was about to lunge at him but I grabbed his arm and held him back.

"You know, you never texted or called or even said hi. That's a bit rude." he wiggled his finger back and forth.

He doesn't know about me being a witch.

'Good. Let's keep it that way.'

"Stay the hell away from my mate!" Xavier told Brad. "She's mine!" Brad yelled back.

God, the tension was thick in here.

"You don't know what we went through." Brad gritted his teeth. "My mate. My girl. My woman. My wife." Brad's words ticked off Xavier and before I could stop him, he had Brad tackled down on the floor.

"That's. My. Mate!" With each word, he punched Brad further into the ground. "X-Xavier.." I whispered out. I didn't want Brad dead. I didn't want anyone dead.

I was about to call for Xavier again to stop but I felt arms grab me. I looked up and a bag was placed over my head. "Xavier!" I screamed out for him. I couldn't see anything and I couldn't tell what was happening.

"Get your fucking hands off of her now!" I heard Xavier growl loudly. "Xavier please." I begged once more. Next thing I knew, I was in a car and they just drove off.

I knew that Xavier would blame himself for this and I didn't want him to. Neither of us had any idea.

Wait a minute.

I should've got a chill.

Is there something off with my magic?

It's not like I could check any time soon.

'Fuck I'm so sorry princess. I should've been with you.'

'No! Don't you dare blame yourself for this. If anything it's my fault, my magic is.. on the fritz? I don't know how to explain it. I should've got a chill, I'm sorry.'

'If I can't blame myself, you definitely can't blame yourself. Do you understand me?'

'Yes.'

'Good. I miss you so much already, I don't know what to do.'

'I miss you too. When we get there, I'll try and explain as much as I can of my surroundings to you. I don't want him, I want you.'

'I love you so much princess. Stay strong. For me.'

'Of course baby.'

"We're here." a man pulled the bag off my head, ending Xavier and I's conversation. He reached out to help me out of the car but I yanked my arm back before he could grab me. "I can walk myself." I spat at him.

He rolled his eyes and walked ahead of me.

'Lots of trees. A huge brick wall around the house. Modern white house. Lots of guards.' I explained as best as I could to Xavier, hoping it was enough for now.

"Better get used to this place, it's going to be your new home." The guy turned around and smirked at me. "No. Xavier is going to find me. Just wait." I glared at him. He chuckled, "You keep thinking that."

He walked me into the house and it was gorgeous but I would prefer Xavier's house any day. "Looks good right?" the man next to me smirked. "Not really. You should see Xavier's. He has chandeliers and beautiful, mod- Enough about him!" Brad yelled, interrupting me.

"You better forget about him because you're stuck with me." He slowly walked towards me. "Never." I glared at him. "Let's go." he turned around and started walking the other way. "Where?" I asked. "To your new room."

I questioned following him but seeing as I would be stuck here for a while, might as well.

"Until you can behave yourself, you'll be sleeping here." He stopped in front of a cell with a small mattress in the corner.

"No."

"No?"

"No."

"And who do you think you are to demand such?" a man following us spoke. "Your future Luna." I smiled proudly. "So you're finally going to accept me?" Brad grinned. "Oh. No." I responded. "Then how are you going to be Luna?" the man asked.

"Xavier is going to take over your pack of course and I'm his Luna." I informed Brad. Apparently he didn't like that. "Get him out of your head. NOW!" he choked me against the cell.

It didn't feel the way Xavier made me feel. There were no tingles when he touched me. I didn't wanna drop everything and have sex with him like I did with Xavier.

"You're not my true mate." I coughed out. "I don't feel what I feel for Xavier, with you. No tingles. No arousal. Nothing. You were a fling." I gritted out.

His eyes went black before he removed his arm, allowing me to breath, and leaving. "Put her in the cell." he was extremely annoyed.

'Xavier?'

'What's wrong? What happened?'

'Nothing. I just wanted to talk to you. I can't tell you anything more than I already have. I'm sorry.'

'None of this is your fault little one. Don't blame yourself.'

'How are you? A-And Jax? And my parents? Are they okay?'

'They're fine. They're all worried though. Do your parents not know you're a witch?'

'N-No. Why?'

'I almost told them today. They were worried so I tried to comfort them by telling them I could talk to you through our link but they were confused as to how so I came up with a lie.'

'If you need to, you can tell them.'

'Alright.'

'Are you in bed?'

'As much of a bed as a cell can be.'

'A what!?'

'He put me in a cell.'

'That fucking bastard.'

'He's lying. About being my true mate. When he touched me, I didn't feel the tingles like I do with you.'

'He TOUCHED you!?'

'No! No! Oh god no, nothing like that. He just, you know, choked me a little.'

'HE CHOKED YOU!?'

'I'm fine, really. I'm fine.'

'I am going to strangle him when I see him.'

'I love you Xavier.'

'I love you too princess. So much!'

'Please find me in time.'

'I'm trying. I'm trying. You'll be home soon. Now sleep little one. And dream of me.'

'Only if you dream of me.'

'I always do.'
