Revenge to the Alpha Mate novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Chapter 44

I spent a while at the shop just working trying to keep my mind on the cars but somehow the image of Ethan and the look on his face when I told him I was really with Xavier. Why did I feel like I hurt him? I didn’t, right? his wolf may have been pissed sure but he told Whitney he didn’t want to be with me.

I sighed and put my jacket on, it was getting colder and older these days, and I was thankful I was a werewolf on days like these. I didn’t know how humans could take so much cold.

I got to the house and went to the living room where my boys were. I flopped down next to Xavier and he put his arm around me as I hugged myself to him. Xavier and I were always like that even before we were together, it just seemed natural to cuddle to him. I never thought it meant anything more to him before.

"you tired?" Xavier asked kissing my hair I nodded

"I think I’m gonna head upstairs to sleep" I said yawning "see you in the morning goodnight guys"

I started to get up but Xavier tugged my arm and brought me back down kissing me gently "goodnight" he said with a grin.

I ignored the wolf whistles and remarks from the guys and went upstairs. As soon as I reached the top step I saw Ethan. His face was emotionless, his eyes blank. I didn’t have a clue what he was feeling then.

He stared at me for a few moments and then, almost hesitantly he raised his hand and let his fingers brush my cheek.

"I realised something" he said in a low voice

"what?" I asked him trying to keep my voice normal, ignoring the tingles that were spreading through my body

He leant forward and I was aout to pull away, afraid he might kiss me but he held me in place and kissed my forehead instead, taking a deep breath in the process.

He cleared his throat and blinked, pulling away and showing me a weak smile "There’s one thing I haven’t done that I should’ve when you first came back."

"And what’s that?" I asked in a barely audible voice.

He smirked and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear before leaning in, his breath on my neck causing me goosebumps "I’m so so sorry" he gulped "For everything" he kissed just below my earlobe, making me to shiver he pulled back and looked at me again "but I’m gonna show you Lily, that you belong with me. That I’m not the same anymore" he took a deep breath and determination flashed through his eyes "That you should be with me"

"Ethan I--"

"No! Don’t!" he shook his head "You won’t change my mind. I am going to make you trust me again. There’s a reason you were made to be my mate Lily, I’m going to show you exactly what that reason is. We’re supposed to be together" and with that he left.

"I can’t, no one would cover for me in the library. No one wants to skip lunch but I did.There was a reason I took lunch hour for my shift. I didn’t have anyone to sit with"

I smiled "Well now you have" she smiled and we heard the bell ring. We got out of class and said the library and I went to lunch.

"Hey beautiful" Xavier said as I sat next to him. He immediately wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed me. I smiled when we pulled away

"D’aww aren’t they cute" Jim said and then nodded to himself"Definitely going to be godfather"

"Godfather?" Adrian asked and I just rolled my eyes.

Jim nodded his head excitedly "Say hello to my little friend" he said pointing his fingers as a gun at Adrian.

Dave hit him in the back of the head "Wrong movie moron" Jim frowned and rubbed the back of his head "Besides I’m going to be the godfather"

Jim was about to argue with him when I interrupted him
