Chapter 7: Xander's POV

Anna stated her observation regarding someone spiking Lisa’s wine and the possibility that she could’ve been framed. I actually didn’t believe her. Lisa could've paid her a huge sum of money to lie. 

‘Brian, head over to my office. I’ll meet up with you there.’ I mind-linked Brian. 

‘Okay, Alpha!’ He ended the link. 

I scurried to my office and Brian was already in it. I nodded, appreciating his hastiness.

“What’s the problem?” he asked, shoving his hands into his pants’ pockets. 

“It’s regarding Lisa. An omega just testified that someone added something to Lisa's wine, so there’s a possibility she could’ve been framed. I need you to look into this and gather evidence.” 

“Okay.” Brain answered, but he seemed to be reluctant.

“What?” I questioned.

“You need to look at this.” Brain said, handing some materials to me. “In fact, after the scandal, many of the pack members had reached out to me to reveal a Lisa you never knew.”

I opened the files he gave me and it contained reports from pack members claiming that they had been bullied by Lisa for so many years. 

“They mentioned that she has been demanding fines illegally and also robbing innocent people of the rewards from their labor.” He explained. 

My hands balled into fists and my face hardened. “How could she have done this without my notice?" A low growl escaped my throat. 

“And as far as I know from others' saying, Anna is one of the Omegas Lisa always like to make fun of and torture. How on earth could she justify Lisa after all the terrible things Lisa has done to her?” He added. 

“You're right. What if she could've threatened her to say it?" 

An awkward silence roamed over us, like we were both basking deep in our thoughts. 

Though there could be a possibility that Lisa had been framed for cheating on me with Gerold, her evil seeds to the pack members are still 100% true, which was beyond my tolerance: I don’t want an Injustice Luna who bullies pack members for fine and authority. 

“But on the other hand,” I broke the silence, “if she was truly framed, should I give her another chance to prove herself? Maybe she could change. Maybe I could make her stop bullying my pack members and make her receive training on how to be a better Luna.” I tried to be positive. 

“Alpha,” Brian almost frowned. “You've given her so many chances, yet she ends up misusing all of them and making a joke out of you. Why do you still want to give her another chance?” He gave in to his frown, his eyes made it glaring that he was frustrated with Lisa as much as I was. “Lisa cannot and will never change.”

“I know, but we can give her a chance.” I insisted, maintaining an impassive expression . “She has loved me since we were kids; she has always been with me and has dedicated her childhood and whole life to being loyal to me because of her love for me. I can't just lock her up in jail like I ought to.” 

“Alpha—” 

“And not to mention my best friend’s death— Getting engaged to her and protecting her was my promise to him. He trusted me to keep her safe and had always wanted us to be happy together and had always wanted his sister to be a powerful, confident, and unwavering Luna. If I don't make her my Luna, I'd fail my best friend and render his sacrifice and my promise useless.” 

He let out a deep sigh. “Alpha, I know you want to keep your promise to repay him for his sacrifice, but Lisa can't be the Luna her brother wanted if she continues her terrible ways. The pack cannot survive with such a Luna, the pack needs someone that can run it alongside with you with great intentions and motives to build the pack, but Lisa has no attribute close to any of that.” 

I knew he was right, but I didn't want to make any decision that would ruin my pack, nor did I want to break my best friend's trust.

Still stuck in a dilemma, I left Brian in my office and headed to the room Lisa was locked in.  

I approached the door slowly with a heavy heart. My emotions were stuck between forgiving her and letting her redeem herself, or rejecting her and punishing her for the terrible things she had done to my pack members. I had never been this confused. I didn’t want to break the promise to my friend, and also didn’t want to make any rash decision either. 

As I got closer to the door, I heard her voice coming from inside the room. 

“Now, spill it to me.” I heard her say to Anna. 

“Uh?” Anna replied. 

“What’s on your mind? Anytime we talk about Xander, you’re either acting nervous or blushing like a tomato. What’s going on?”

“Well… I don’t want to seem terrible to you, but I’ve had a crush on Alpha Xander for a really long time now.” Anna admitted shyly.

I rolled my eyes, wondering why these women always liked me when they knew I was getting married to Lisa soon, but I was more confused as to why she was saying it in Lisa's presence, knowing fully well how temperamental she was. 

I expected Lisa to sound angry and even slap her, but I stopped in my tracks when she exclaimed excitedly, “Really?! That’s great news!”

“It is?” I, as well as Anna, wondered. 

“Yes! Please, in everything you do, make sure to win his heart.” 

My frown returned to my face. I wondered what the hell got into her. Why was she not being possessive about me like always? What was on her mind? Did she want to secretly beat Anna up after this?

“Wh-what do you mean? He’s your mate and your fiancé.” She reminded her. “I’ll feel terrible to pursue someone else’s mate.”

I still didn’t hear the sound of any slap resonating from the room and that made rage build up in me. How could she let it slide that easily and act so happy about it?

“Anna… can I tell you a secret?”

“Sure?” Anna replied unsurely. 

“I’m not actually Alpha Xander’s mate.” Her words dropped a bombshell on me and my muscles forbade me from moving. “I lied to him since he can’t sense his mate, but I’m no longer interested in him. We’ll break up very soon, so don’t be bothered about our relationship. We’ll focus on building your relationship with him.”

What the hell?! My breath heated up in fury and I strutted closer to the door. How dare she lie to me about being my mate?

“Wow, that’s great news!” Anna exclaimed. “So how do we start? He barely even pays attention to my existence.”

How could she lie to me? And she was trying to trade me off to an ordinary omega like I was some goods for sale!

I kicked the flimsy door open and stormed to them. 

Lisa's eyes widened and her mouth was left hanging with no words escaping it. 

My hands clenched into fists and with every heavy step I took closer to her, my heart thumped wilder. My blood boiled in deep rage. She had made me lose every form of control and made me forget about forgiving her or giving her another chance. 

I had believed her when she said we were mates though I couldn't sense my mate, because I trusted her! But here she was, admitting the truth to an omega. It was all a lie. She had fooled me all these while and had made me believe we were mates just to satisfy her stupid crush on me?!

My muscles tightened and my breath was getting harsher and hotter. Another lie! Lie on top of lies, all the fucking time!

“Al-alpha Xan-Xander…” Anna stuttered. “I’ll leave now.” She said in a high pitch and quickly scurried out of the room. 

“You lied, again!” I said through gritted teeth, my fists had clenched till my fingers were excavating into my skin, almost making myself bleed. 

My chest was heaving heavily and Max wanted to rip out of me to get rid of her already. 

‘That explained why there wasn’t even a bond between us!’ Max cussed in my head. 

“I’m sorry, Alpha Xander. I really don’t know why L-Lisa… lied about… being your mate.” She stumbled upon her words, her entire body was quivering in fear. 

My jaw tightened— she just admitted it to my face again! Ever since I caught her in that room last night, she had become a totally different person and it seems so easy for her to piss me off! 

“Please Alpha Xander, calm down.” She lifted her hands, her chest was rising and falling really fast. 

I had had enough of her playing with my mood! I took the last step to her and grabbed her arm. 

Just when I touched her, I felt a headache and it felt like someone was trying to squeeze into my mind. 

After the sudden pain, I heard a female voice saying: “Damn he is just so rude!”

My face twisted in confusion and I glared into her steel blue eyes. 

‘Why isn’t anything turning out fine?’ The voice said again. 

 

I froze at the sound of the voice. She’s not talking to me, no, she’s talking to Lisa! 

‘Why is he staring at me like that?’ Lisa’s voice rang in my head in panic. 

‘Because he’s so arrogant.’  I slowly realized that it was Lisa’s wolf having a casual conversation with her. 

‘What the hell is going on?’ I asked my wolf for clarification. 

‘This is strange. It seems like we have accidentally built some kind of mind link between her and her wolf.’ Max, my wolf, howled and approached Lisa’s wolf. 

Lisa’s eyes widened. ‘Why did I just hear his voice and another male’s voice in my head?’ She was asking her wolf, yet her gaze burned into mine intensely. 

Her wolf was distracted from her question by also approaching my wolf. 

When our wolves finally touched each other in the mind link, they shivered and shouted in unison: “Mate!” 

“What???!” Lisa and I shouted in our joint mind link.

This didn't happen in the novel. Anna and Xander were supposed to find out they were mates a few chapters after this.'I just overheard that you lied to me about being mates.’ He said in the strange mind link, a frown etched on his facial features.‘That was true, but how…. Maya, what’s going on?’ I asked. However, Maya had become so lost in the link and had approached Max, already so close to him.They stopped in front of each other and howled, as if communicating in wolf’s way; their communication continued in a language we didn’t understand.They seemed to be extremely excited about what they were chatting to each other about because they were laughing and howling like loud noises in my head.‘How is this happening?

"This place is too dark and…" I glanced around. He hesitated before he said, “I’ll send Brian to guard you home.”As far as I remembered from the book, Brian was the beta. I nodded with an appreciative smile resting on my lips. “Thank you.” He turned around and exited the room while I headed back to sit on the chair, waiting for the Beta. It took a while till another man, almost as hefty and tall as Xander strolled in. His face was stern, an unyielding fierce look plastered on it. Was this the Beta?

    Walking down the hallway, I tried to hide my face in the hood of my hoodie with my hands tucked into its pocket. Of course, that didn’t help in hiding my identity as two girls walked by either of my sides, intentionally hitting me really hard with their shoulders and giggling as they sauntered away. I lifted my head when I got to my locker and opened it, tossing a few of my books into it. As I was about to shut my locker, my gaze caught my reflection in the mirror; my amber eyes looked as tired as always but there was something sticky lurching around a few strands of my dark brown hair. I lifted the strands of hair and noticed a ball of chewed gums around it. Damn, must be the two girls who hitted me. With my face puckered, I picked my scissors and cut it off my strands. “I can’t wait to graduate from this stupid school.” That's something I'd never have said a couple of months back: I had saved a lot of money for so many years in order to be admitted into my dream High school, onl

What nonsense?!Before I could react, the handsome man stormed to me and stopped in front of me. When he glared down at my body, I realized I had let go of the duvet that previously covered my naked chest, then his gaze traveled to the naked man next to me who was also as quiet as I was.The hot piece of sexy figure standing in front of me drew his lips into a snarl as his gaze bore into me, his green eyes that almost looked like emeralds were flashing with rage. “How dare you cheat on me?” He repeated, his thick voice vibrated into my ears and sent a shiver down my spine. His voice sounded as sexy as he looked.I immediately felt wobbly under his intimidating stare and ducked my head in embarrassment. I observed his hands ball into tight fists and swallowed against the lump in my throat.“ Answer!” he ordere

His body slowly retreated from mine and he peered at me like the creepy man did earlier— as if I had gone mad. Of course, his reaction was justified because Lisa in the book could never admit boldly to cheating on him but there was a reason for my bold and fearless provocation: In the novel, before the omega Anna meets Alpha Xander, Xander had caught his mate, Lisa, cheating on him, as the current scene in this dream. However, Lisa, being the malicious but sly villainess, was able to maneuver her way into Xander’s head by pretending to be innocent and pathetic; she had managed to convince him and let it slide that time. I was definitely pissed off when I read the scene. “Yes, I cheated on you, so what?” I repeated, placing a stress on ‘so what’ and crossed my arms over my chest, awaiting his next reaction.

I thought I was never going to find my mate but fortunately, my mate appeared at a very young age and she was my best friend’s sister, Lisa White.

Due to the poison, I couldn’t feel the bond but considering her devotion and loyalty to me since I was a kid, I was compelled to accept her.

He pulled me for a long time until we entered a strange Dark room, where there was only a chair in the middle. “Stay here.” He pushed me onto the chair and left.“Wait,” I called out, running after him, but the moment he stepped out, a large iron gate landed from above to separate me from the exit. I flinched, staring up from where it had landed. Realizing he was not coming back, I dropped to sit on the floor with my back against the gate. My eyes roamed over the empty room.
