X Xade's pov I try to slow down my footsteps as I hurry to the room V shared with Melissa. I didn't want anyone to notice how weirdly quick I was on my feet, so I tried my best to make it seem more natural, more human.
I gripped her phone in my hold, smirking happily. She forgot it in the car but I am beaming with contentment knowing I get to catch a glimpse of her face once more...and maybe get a sweet kiss from her lips again too.
Sfore the stares from the other girls I pass by. They m hink I ne mad with the way my feet had a little happy bounce to it. I fee like a kid who got his favorite candy and I was sure I looked the part too.
"So you're saying it had been an accident? That you somehow had your best friend slip inside you instead of your boyfriend?" Melissa's voice is cold and sharp, makingstop in my tracks. Who's she speaking to? Avery? Anger boiled inand my fists clench. If she thinks I'll have her speak to my girl like that she'll have another thing coming. I am about to storm over to them and tell Melissa to f*ck off when I heard V's small voice respond.

Melissa snorted." So it's a mistake? Nothing but a mistake?" "Say what you and Xade had was a mistake" Melissa taunted.
seeming to enjoy Avery's response which was twisting a blade in my heart unknowingly. They were loud, but not loud enough for a human to hear where I stood Why does it suck now that I have supernatural hearing? Right now, I. wish I hadn't "Melissa- "Say it! Say it Avery!" Melissa screeched.
"It was a mistake okay!" Avery yelled." What we had done was a mistake!" F*ck B*oody f*ck.
I stumble back. Is this how it feels to get your heart ripped right out o your chest and have someone stomp on it mercilessly? I wait for a second or two, just to see if she'll take it back. But she doesn't and I can no longer hold back the pain I felt. I needed to leave. Now My wolf kicked at the cages I had placed him in, wanting out as pain ripped through the both of us.
I turn on my heel, rushing back. Her phone was still in my hand and with the way I clenched it, I am scared I'd crush it with my brutal grip. A girl who I have seen around but don't know her nlooked atwith wide surprised eyes as I bound over to her.
"Here, give this to Avery," I instructed her, not waiting for a reply as I stormed away. My breathing was hasty because of my fight to hold back my wolf, but also because of the pain those words had inflicted.with.
As soon as I burst through the doors and the air hit me, I rush to my car got in and skid away. I needed to find somewhere safe to shift.
24% Somewhere prying eyes won't seeI growled under my breath, my claws piercing through the steering wheel and it groaned under the weight of my grip F*ck Man can you getone of this human's shitty as* beers when you get back?' Xaden's voice pushed into my head.
gritted my teeth, feeling my canines push out of my gums. I needed to get out before I shift in the car. 'No. I'm going for a run,' I snapped, looking around for an escape. F*cking hell, I still need to drive more. The animal withinroared and clawed for a release and I pushed my foot on the gas pedal, the car roaring as I sped down the road that led out of the city and into the forest You sound like you're in pain. What the f*ck happened?' Xaden rushed out.

I'm fine' I snapped, blocking off any more communication with him as I pushed my foot on the gas pedal more. Finally, I could see the woods looming ahead, the contrast to the city life welcoming and feeling like hmore
I skidded to a stop, barely taking the tto turn off the engine beforen flinging myself out of the car. My beast clawed, my nails push through I growled, setting off for the woods. Once I was deep enough that I couldn't see the road anymore, I let my beast free. The shift was an instant blur of pain and relief as my human 111 form gave way to my beast.
My senses exploded with being in my other form. The scent of pine and er than it had been earth was stronger than iṭ before. The rustle of small animals, the cool breeze against my fur, everything was clearer in my wolf form.
I run. Pushing my wolf to his limits to keep our minds off the pain of her words. My paws hit the earth dowing as my claws dig into the dirt. Being in this form was more freeing, but lately I cannot deny that my wolf was getting baited into anger and restlessness more now. He wanted his mate. to mate her. And I too. But the risk was too great and he knew so. He knew the only way was to sacrifice himself for her. and that he'll do in a heartbeat.
But I can't help but have doubt that V doesn't really wa 2. Wha her words were true? What if she thinks that what we shared was ident? Nothing but a mistake? owed down and he whines, howling in pain with the ught of our mate not wanting us the way we wanted her.
