Chapter 40
I looked up and was surprised to see Xavier shaking his head. Damn I thought my speech would work
“Okay then” I said and shifted awkwardly. Suddenly I felt myself engulfed in a bear hug.
“God damn it Lily” Xavier said gently against my hair “I was mad” he kissed my hair “I was stupid” he kissed my forehead “I was an asshole” He looked me in the eye “I said things I didn’t mean. Things I’d never say because they weren’t true. Lily you were never a burden, we all love you especially me and you know it. I’m sorry that I hurt you, I just got caught up and didn’t think about what being a mate means. I
know it’s hard for you.”
He hugged me again “I love you Lily, and I’m not going anywhere.”
“You sure you didn’t mean it? I told you I could–”
“shut up” he said gently and looked into my eyes as if trying to see something, I had no idea what. I
yawned then and he sighed looking kinda disappointed. “Come on you need to rest”
We walked to my bed and both got in. Xavier placed an arm under my head and another over my waist as I curled against him and rested my head in the croon of his neck.
“Love you lux” he said and I yawned closing my eyes.
“love you too Jase” I said and just befoe I fell asleep I could have sworn I heard Xavier mumble something
but I didn’t hear it as I dosed off.
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?” I heard an angry voice say.from the doorway. I opened my eyes to see a very angry Ethan standing at the door. I looked up confuse but when I saw Xavier sleeping next to
me understanding dawned on me. “SOMEONE BETTER EXPLAIN THIS”
“Explain what?” Xavier said angrily “This has nothing to do with you”
“It has everything to do with me” Ethan answered through clenched teeth. “Now get away from her”
“Well good morning to you too guys” I said sitting up “I don’t know about you but…I’m going back to bed so just keep it quiet please”
“Oh no your not” I heard Ethan say and in a second I was thrown over his shoulder as he walked to the door”You’re not going back to sleep with that asshole”
“I suggest you put her down” Xavier said through clenched teeth and Ethan turned around ruining my view of everything except his ass…which by the way looked extremely–WAIT WHAT AM I SAYING?
You’re saying the truth that our mate has a FINE ass my wolf said and I rolled my eyes
Now is not the time I told her
“I suggest you get out” Ethan answered him I sighed and there was silence, my guess is they were glaring
at each other

< Chapter 40
“helloo…Girl hanging upside down here, and she suggests you both stop this silliness” I said and I felt
Ethan stiffen
“you were in a bed with him Lily. How do you expect me to react” he growled at me, I rolled my eyes
“Well one Xavier is my best friend and I always sleep next to him and two you have no right to tell me what to do remember Ethan?” I said and I heard him growl “Now put me down or else”
He snorted “or else what? You’re hanging over my shoulder there’s nothing you can do”
“There’s sure as hell something I can do” Xavier growled and I heard him take a step forward I wanted him
to shut up so Ethan would calm down. Sheesh! he was an alpha too doesn’t he already know how much
they hate to get challenged?
“You’ll regret it if you don’t put me down Ethan” I instructed him but he didn’t answer so I sighed and shrugged as I lifted my leg and kicked him where the sun don’t shine.
Ethan groaned and fell to the floor. Xavier was immediately by my side helping me up
“Nice hit” he said, I nodded as I glanced at Ethan guiltily; this was the second time I hit him hard where it
hurts and I felt kinda bad for causing him pain.
“Stay…away from her” Ethan gasped standing up, wincing at the pain “I’ll kick your ass”
“Not before I kick yours you worthless piece of s**t” Xavier said placing me behind him as Ethan walked
toward me. Ethan saw that action and his eyes darkened and he started growling.
Xavier snarled at him and kept me behind him though I tried to get away to stop this but his grip was firm
guys I called them
Some people are still asleep Lily Dave said
Please head down here or this is not going to end well. I told them
Why? Jacob said What’s wrong?
Ethan and Xavier I stated
“LET HER GO” Ethan snarled “NOW”
“NO” Xavier roared “You have NOTHING to do with her”
“MINE” Ethan said just as the door opened to reveal the guys who all looked shocked at the way we looked; me behind Xavier who was shaking and Ethan standing about to change just in front of us.
“Wow guys” Adrian said “Calm down”
“SHE’S MINE” Ethan growled and I could tell his wolf was taking over
“NO SHE’S NOT” Xavier yelled “She’s MY girlfriend”
I froze in shock. What? What did he just say? Ethan’s eyes widened and then narrowed and he looked

Chapter 40
angrier than ever.
Xavier apparently realised what he said and noticed Ethan getting even angrier
“Exactly asshole” Xavier said “We’re together” and with that he turned around and before I could even register what was happening he grabbed my face in both his hands…and kissed me.
Lily’s P.O.V.
