I turned around and saw him standing close to the door. Dad never liked Xavier. He always tried his best to separate me from him and I know Dad has his reason but that doesn't mean Dad hates me. He always said he was after my well-being.
" Dad " I whine
He shook his head " I won't let you go to that party and then have him ridicule you. I won't let that happen. I don't want my princess to be the talk of the town. If he doesn't want you then so be it. "
I frowned " Dad he is my mate " I tried to make him see reason. I stared at Mom for help and she also said " He is her mate and I think we don't have the right to interfere "
Dad stared at her as if saying is she for real " You can't tell me not to protect my child "
" She is our child and she also has the right to talk things out with her mate " Mom stood her ground and Dad couldn't believe her .
" Martha, don't say I didn't warn you. You know how much she cried while he was away. It hurts to see her in that situation and I can't watch that about to repeat itself" Dad said seriously.
Yeah, I did cry my eyes out when Xavier stopped picking up my calls. I couldn't bear it so I always cried myself to sleep and my parent was always there to console me. I know I'm putting them in a tough situation but I can't live without Xavier. He is the only man I've ever loved.
He was my best friend not until I turned eighteen and found out that he was my mate. We used to be so much in love. The whole pack member knew about our love for each other. I don't know why he changed all of a sudden.
" Please let me do this for the last time Dad " I tried begging him
Dad stared at me and released a sigh " I know you won't stop not until you speak to him. I'll let you do that but promise me you won't let him hurt you as much ever again "
I offered him a smile " I promise. When I find out his reason for doing this to me then I'm going to stay away "
" Cassie! You can't do that "Mom said with worry laced on her brows
" let her decide Martha. It's for her own good. I won't let her force herself on him. He doesn't deserve her. I'm sure there is someone out there who will willingly asks for her hand in marriage " Dad said seriously
I can't live without Xavier, I thought to myself. I don't think I can ever be in any other man's arms. I can never do that. Xavier is all I want.
" I'll go up to my room now," I said to them
I didn't wait for their response as I raced to my room. I need to do this one last thing before the party. I searched for my phone and picked it up after I found it. I dialed Xavier's number. Hopefully, he would pick it up.
I waited for the first ringing, it came and then the second and then the th..... he picked up.
" Hello ?" His husky voice resonates through the phone. I've almost forgotten how sweet his voice used to be. I couldn't hold back my tears.
" Xavier it's me," I said seeing as though he didn't have my number again. The way he responded, sounded as though he didn't know who was on the line.
" Cassie ?" He asked and his voice changed
" Yeah, Xavier. Please don't end the call. Please listen to me " I said at once and he didn't end the call luckily.
" What do you want ?" He sounded cold
"We need to talk Xavier. "
"There is nothing left for us to talk about. I have a new woman in my life and I don't go for some used old hag "
What? Did he just insulted
" Used old hag ?" I had to ask again cos I was left speechless.
" If you don't have anything else to say to me then don't ever call me again. This will be the last time you'll ever call me again " With that being said, he ended the call before I could say anything "
I gripped the phone like my life depended on it. I can't believe this is happening right now. I can't believe this. No! No ' this can't be happening. This isn't my Xavier. He will never rudely speak to me. Xavier won't do that to me he won't. He promises to love me for the rest of our lives. Why is this happening? What did I do? What is my offense?
I need an answer. I need to know what I did. I don't know what he heard about me. Did someone lie about me? I can't wrap my head around all that is happening. This is so confusing. I'm confused honestly.
The water work started immediately. I can't control my tears. I can't control it anymore. The tears flew down my face. I lay on my bed and cried like my life depended on it. This isn't our promise to each other. This is with the promise we made at the fireworks.
Xavier broke all the promises. He made me the laughingstock. What am I going to do now? What am I going to do about the whole issue?
I cried as my life depended on it. He was the one man I have ever known. The only man I gave my virginity to. The only man that has seen me at my lowest and here he was insulting me. I was hoping my mom and dad didn't hear the sound of my tears. I have brought nothing but worry to them. They don't deserve to be hurt too. I know I have to do something about the whole issue. My idea of talking to him tomorrow still stands. I won't back down now.
Maybe he would have a change of mind when he sees me face to face. I'm sure he said these harsh words to me cos it was on the phone. I need him to look me in the eyes while he talks to me then I'll know if he truly meant it cos I don't know what else to think about this whole issue right now. I won't give up just yet.
Whoever that new lady was, I needed to take my man away from her. I don't want to give up now. Never. I won't let that happen to me. I wiped my tears eager for the party to come faster. I can't wait to clear this whole mess.
***
I got to the party earlier than usual. I couldn't avoid the pity stare sent my way by the park members. Some were even happy that it happened. I could hear some of them saying I was too ugly to be with the alpha. This made me feel less confident in myself. Is this why he left me? Cos I wasn't beautiful enough?
I've never questioned my beauty whatsoever. I never had any reason to do so but right now I'm beginning to do that. I stared at the whole room and noticed that everyone was in a nice dress while I was in a shirt and trousers. I didn't come here to look good. I had a mission in mind. I never cared to dress up.
I was always satisfied with Xavier loving me the way he did but things seemed to have changed since he went for this course. He has another woman who is much more beautiful than I am I must say. I stared at the people in the room and my eyes caught that of his.
There he was standing with his woman. He stared right back at me as I did. I know I have to do this now or never. I refused to break eye contact as I marched to his place. I kept walking until I got to his front. I swallowed. I couldn't resist his looks. He looks as dashing as ever. He looks much more manly than he used to be. He use to be amine but I think not anymore.
" Xavier " I called out his name breathlessly. I know I sound like a fool but I was always his fool.
He glared down and me but I didn't care. I know there is some sort of feeling left for me in his heart "What do you want Cassie? I'm really busy and need to address the pack members "
