Capítulo 20: Chapter 20
I was sitting beside his bed, already dressed for school, my face resting in my hands. Watching Xavier's sleeping face. He looked so peaceful so adorable and that wasn't my hormones or anything speaking. His black hair fell on half of his face and I brushed some away lightly.
I gasped out as Xavier gripped my wrist on his face, his eyes still closed. He slowly opened them and his glazed grey eyes shone back at me.
He directed my hand towards his lips and kissed the inside of my palm.
Lifting his eyes up to mine he whispered,
' Tell me, was it all because of your wolf?'
I sucked in a breath and looked away.
" She is the most breath taking thing I have ever laid eyes on."
My eyes widened in realization. I just heard Xavier's thoughts. It made me blush furiously.
I quickly looked down at him and saw him already watching me his face masking his sadness and disappointment.
Xavier knew it was Olivia who marked him by my reaction and I felt sort of guilty by it.
" It is okay, we have forever and someday maybe you will love me as much as I love you." He mind linked me.
I gasped and tears threatened to fall at his words and at the evident sadness I saw in him. In fact Xavier's face looked some what normal, I didn't just see what he felt on his face I felt it.
Now that we are both marked we are even more connected our souls further intertwined.
I've never felt more guilty than in that moment for not truly loving him with every piece of my soul. But then again his actions did not sway in his favor and the things he lied about and did, well I'm just not ready to forgive and forget just yet. To add to everything I'm still not sure I am fit to be Queen Luna or think I'll be able to be a good mate for Xavier so far I've been nothing but difficult and he's been nothing but, " it's my way or the highway and mine, all mine, obey."
I got up and told him if it would be fine if Luke dropped me off at school.
' He can drop you off, I just mind linked him, he will be downstairs in a few minutes. '
' Oh, okay thank you. ' I said almost shyly.
' Do you want him to pick you up as well because I ca-'
' No, no it's fine Adam and I are going to Jennifer's after scho-'
He growled and his eyes flashed at that.
I looked at him and saw he sat up in bed now his face not impressed. I could practically feel his jealousy and anger.
' Xavier calm down, I just felt bad because I didn't tell him where I was for the past week and we want to catch up. I'll mind link you when we're done and you can come fetch me.' I told him hating that I had to explain myself to him.
He just growled low in his throat and I narrowed my eyes at him.
' Fine. But if he so much as touches you I swe- ' He gritted out.
' Xavier, stop it! I'll be fine, okay.' I said getting impatient with his behavior.
' Okay, Luke said he's downstairs. ' He didn't look "okay" at all.
I just looked at him then leaned down towards his sitting figure on the bed and kissed his cheek.
I instantly felt a rush of warmth and I didn't know if that was my feelings or his.
Turning around I strode out.
* at Jennifer's *
' You are literally so crazy!' I said wiping away the tears on my face. Adam knew how to crack me up. His jokes were so utterly ridiculous I couldn't help laughing.
He just sat opposite me sipping his milkshake with a grin.
Wow it was getting hot in here. I reached for my hair that hung over my shoulders and tied it into a high ponytail. That felt much bet-
I broke away from my thoughts when I noticed Adams wide eyes. I scrunched up my nose at him and tilted my head to the side.
' What, why are you looking at me like that?' I asked in confusion.
' That, what's that on your neck.' He said his face darkening.
Oh shit! I'm so stupid, so very, very stupid! How could I forget about the blasted mark?!
I chuckled uneasily trying to quickly think of a lie to say.
' Ahhh... well you see remember I told you my aunt stayed sort of in the woods well I took a walk one day and this animal came out of nowhere and bit me. But I'm all good now, there's nothing to worry about.' I said with a tight smile on my face.
Adam had an expression I've never seen before on his face, anger and I thought I glimpsed jealousy but what would he have to be jealous about? He's a human he doesn't know anything about marking or mates or werewolves.
He quickly recovered and I watched as he tried extremely hard to put a light hearted expression back onto his face.
' Man, Tori that must of sucked big time! Glad you're all better now. What type of animal was it? A rabid dog?' He said his tone contradicting his facial expression. I furrowed my eyebrows at him in confusion. What was wrong with him?
' Err...it was dark I didn't see it, as soon as it attacked me I just ran away,' I lied.
He softly scoffed and I couldn't take it any longer and asked,
' Adam, seriously why are you acting so...so unlike your normal self? I'm fine okay calm down, you're acting kinda crazy.'
I watched as he blankly stared at me and then his expressions morphed into his normal one.
' You're right I'm sorry I just got worried. I-I just...well I care about you,' He said softly looking away from me.
I couldn't help but smile lightly at him.
' It's okay Adam you're my best friend I care about you too.' I said clasping his hands in mine.
He looked down at our clasped hands and smiled almost tightly at me.
After that awkward encounter we chatted a while longer but Adam kept glancing at my neck specifically the mark and didn't seem quite himself. After a while he excused himself to the rest room, when he got back I noticed that it was getting late the sun was already almost set.
Adam insisted on paying for our meal and drinks and he didn't want to hear anything from me so I just let him, promising to pay the next time we go out.
I told Adam that Ginger was on her way to pick me up and he didn't have to wait with me but he said he didn't mind.
No way was I going to let him be here when Xavier showed up so I told him she was right around the corner and he could leave. He looked reluctant but after I insisted he finally hoped on his motorcycle and sped down the road.
I couldn't stand lying to him so much it was awful but what other choice did I have.
I unblocked Xavier and immediately he bombarded me with questions.
I just waited for him to finish and when he finally did I said,
' I'm fine, now could you please come pick me up.'
' I am on my way right now. When I get there I swear if I so much as smell that human o-'
I just blocked him. Shaking my head I rolled my eyes at his ridiculousness.
How am I going to survive him, seriously.
I rubbed my hands on my bare arms and tried to warm them up it was getting chilly.
I turned my head to my left where I thought I heard a noise and felt a shiver run down my spine.
Something wasn't right. Jennifer's had closed and I was the only person left in the parking lot.
I turned around and suddenly a hand came over my mouth muffling my screams.
' Mhhmhmmhmhm!' I tried to yell out.
My attacker didn't waste any time, before I knew it he stuck a needle into my neck and I cried out as I felt the most agonizing pain I have ever felt. Wolfs bane, my attacker injected me with Wolfs bane. That was my last thought before I blacked out and left myself at my attackers mercy.
