MYRA'S POV
Xavier and I have been talking for nearly half an hour. Now i know a bit about him. He is an only child and his parents died when he was 16 so thats when he became the alpha. No wonder he is the strongest alpha alive, he has had to learn alot. From these moments i am starting to realize that I might have misjudged Xavier. Maybe he is not as rutheles as he seems, perhaps we can work on our mate bond and take it from there.I am pulled out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. I look at Xavier and he looks agiatated. I make my way to the door and pull it open, before its even fully open, Sarah storms in. She scans the room then scowls when her eyes land on Xavier."What are you doing here?" she asks, though it comes out more like an accusation."I came to see if our guest was comfortable" Xavier replies looking at me."Oh i see. So its your first day here and you are already after my mate. " she scoffs at me.I open my mouth to answer but Xavier beats me to it."Don't mind her, you know i would never cheat on you. Much less with such a cheap woman." he says in one breath, his eyes fixed on me .For a moment my wolf whimpers in pain but i mask it with a fake smile."Sarah, " I start before she cuts me off."Thats Luna to you, " she barks and hurries off with Xavier calling after her. I am grateful for the fact that Xavier leaves too and I am left to wallow in my mysery. I can't believe he chose her over me. Am I not good enough?He is the one who came to me, gave me hope and its still him who reminded me that there is no room for happiness in my life, all in half an hour. I have been through alot of emotional torture but this is way worse than all of them combined.I am about to get under the covers when there is a knock on my door. I open it only to come face to face with a pair of deep blue orbs that are the cause of my mysery."Listen you witch, I don't know what you did to me to make me come to your room earlier but whatever it is i will find out. For now you must come and apologise to your luna" he screams and immediately grabs my hands dragging me to Sarah's room.I follow him obediently to the room , still too shocked to speak."What are you waiting for, apologize" Sarah screams and only then do i realize i am already in her room.I can take all the humiliation in the world but i would never apologize over something that is not my fault. The alpha in me would never submit to anyone."I won't. I won't apologize when it wasn't my fault. I don't care what happens, you can kick me out of your pack if you wish but I won't apologize"I am so proud of myself after that speech but i clearly didn't think about the consequences.Xavier's cold palms meet my cheeks in a very hot slap and I realize one thing, he would never accept me as a mate.And I am tired of playing nice.THIRD PERSON'S POV Myra was mistaken if she didn't think Xavier cared. He cared, something he wasn't ready to admit. He wasn't even ready to accept her as a mate. Maybe because he knew there was no happiness he could give her. After all, how could he make her happy when all he had known all his life was pain. Even when he had Sarah as a mate, knowing she wasn't his mate, he hoped she wouldn't be so hurt. Every time he saw the pain in her eyes all because of him, his heart wrenched. But who did she think she was to change him, he had been lonely for so long and all over a sudden she shows up looking so beautiful claiming to be his mate. He had made himself a promise years earlier that he wouldn't take a mate, Sarah meant nothing to him. In fact, she was merely there to frustrate Myra , maybe then she would leave. But did he really want her to leave? He wasn't sure, not after he had seen her beautiful eyes, her long soft hair, her plump lips inviting him for a taste every time he lo
THIRD PERSON'S POV They say it is hard to wait for something that you are not sure would ever belong to you, but it is even harder to give up on someone knowing they are all you want. Till today Myra had thought this quote was utter nonsence, that was before she found herself in the same situation. Even she knew that no matter how much pain Xavier gave her, she would always stay and hope that one day he will be hers. It has been a week since the incident with Sarah. Myra hadn't seen Sarah since that night. Rumour had it that she had found her mate and left with him. This should have brought relief to Myra and perhaps some hope to her relationship with Xavier, but no. Nothing changed. Only Myra could attest to how hard it was to have your mate in the next room, to smell their scent all around you and still be unmated. But she was strong, she had gone through so many years of slavery and torture, how could this be any different? It shouldn't have been, but it was. Time and again she w
THIRD PERSON'S POV This time Myra decided she would tell him everything. Perhaps this would bring an end to their relationship. But again she realized that they never shared any relationship. It has always been so one sided there was no hope for love. Finally, after dreaming for so many years, she woke up from that dream, the reality was a bit harsh, but what to do?. One has to accept the truth at times. She had always prided herself of being a realist, if there was any time to show all that then it was then but that didn't mean she wasn't hurt. "Why do you do this to me. Why do you hurt me so much. I have always dreamed of a mate. In my dreams my mate would care for me and love me but when i finally found my mate..." she sobbed . "There is a difference between dreams and reality, you should know this" He didn't look remorseful at all . In fact, he had that smug look on his face. Like it didn't matter to him. "I love you, I love you so much and I pray every day when I wake up and
THIRD PERSON'S POV “But pain's like water. It finds a way to push through any seal. There's no way to stop it. Sometimes you have to let yourself sink inside of it before you can learn how to swim to the surface.” ― Katie Kacvinsky For the next few days Myra wallowed in her misery. However, she did keep her word. She managed to stay out of the alpha's way. In fact, she had left the pack house. She was currently staying at the beta Ryan's place. Of course no one knew this. Beta Ryan was gay and unmated though no one knew that either. He had shared his secret with Myra in confidence and she had sworn to keep it. Of course she knew that many pack members would raise eyebrows at their living arrangements but that didn't matter to beta Ryan and she was also fine with it. There was change in her life, the positive kind, from having no one to having a friend, in fact , two. She had also befriended an omega with the name Crista. She was as kind as a kite and as beautiful as they come. She
THIRD PERSON'S POVRyan rushed accross the hallway leading to Xavier's office, colliding with a pack member in the process. He wasn't even sure how Xavier would react and whether or not he would actually go to see Myra. He knocked on the door but before he could answer, he barged in. It was the usual scene, the one of xavier with another woman. Perhaps he knew he would see such a thing, or had seen such a scene too many times so it didn't faze him. But still his heart hurt for Myra, for he had seen her wish to be accepted by her mate and her desire to be loved. And most of all, he could still see the hope in Myra's eyes whenever he talked of Xavier. She didn't deserve all the pain Xavier was giving her, that was the first thought he had when he entered that office. He would give so much just to have a mate, and here he was messing up his relationship with his mate. "Myra needs you" was all he managed to say. Xavier was still his alpha and there were very dire consequences for disre
Myra woke up the next morning in the warm hands of Xavier, in fact, she had thought she was dreaming until he had let out a grunt in response to her pinching him. But even then, he didn’t move. He continued to hold her closer as if she was something delicate, something fragile. And for the first time in her life, Myra wanted to be. The cool morning breeze and the immense amount of light that had penetrated the room made it impossible for Myra to go back to sleep, unlike Xavier who still had his eyes closed. She felt the urge to use the bathroom and decided to get up, but Xavier’s arms around her brought her closer to him. She wiggled a few times, only managing to wake him up. ‘Where are you going? “He asked her opening his eyes. He was still half a sleep and damn it if he didn’t look good. Of course, leave it to Xavier to rock the morning look. He was about to speak when he noticed his eyes change color. They weren’t their usual gold anymore, they were dark, extremely so without be
THIRD PERSON'S POV It took Xavier well over a minute to understand Myra’s statement. And when he did, he still found himself hesitating to reassure her. Perhaps because he knew that he had been the one to lead her to such a path. A path where she no longer believed that anything good would happen to her. But even then, the need to explain himself to her grew so much that he could not control it even if he tried. “There are no cameras. Myra…” he hesitated. “This is no joke. “Another moment of hesitation. “I want us to work. I want to try and be a better mate for you. Listen, I know I have hurt you but just give me one more chance. I have no right…” this time he cut her off. “You have no right to ask me of such a thing. You hear, NO RIGHT. Just because you helped me while I was in heat which by the way was your responsibility doesn’t give you the right to ask me of this. You are very selfish. Very selfish.” She whispered the last part on the verge of tears. Oh, the guts of this man,
THIRD PERSON'S POV Myra woke up in a strange room, very elegant but still rather strange. The room had huge silver-gray curtains and white walls. The bed she was on had gray silk sheets and a huge comforter. It took her a while to realize that she was in Xavier’s room. She got up with a jolt and made her way to the door. As if attempting to leave before he came back. She hesitated when she realized it was dark outside meaning it was night. “Going somewhere” She heard from behind her and spun around so fast she nearly tripped on her feet. First, she took in the picture of Xavier in only a towel. One that hung too low on his hips. Then she followed the water droplet that ran from his neck, down his chest and abs and disappeared into the waist of his towel. By the time she raised her eyes to his, he was already looking at her. “No, I am not going anywhere, I was just…” she found herself struggling to give an explanation. “Admiring the moon, yes admiring the moon. It looks good from t
