EMMA’S POV
I woke up to my head being scratched and for a second I thought it was Xavier. I smiled and stretched.
“Hey good morning.”
I snapped my eyes opened and pulled away, but I could still feel the tingles against my skull from where he ran his finger tips through.
“What are you doing?”
“Xavier told me how much you liked your head scratched…”
“Can you just please stop, alright? Xavier is dead, I get it and I don’t need you to keep reminding me of that, so just stop it.”
“Then what do you want me to do because I don’t know what else to do to make you feel any better.”
“What I need is for you to leave me alone, I don’t need you to keep reminding me of everything Xavier and nothing is going to make me feel any better. I have to do this on my own with you hovering all over me.”
“Fine, have it your way then.”
He pulled away then and I knew he was pissed, but I knew he was only trying to make me feel better.
After eating enough for four people, I was allowed to get out going to Xavier’s funeral service, if I promised to relax and eat plenty.
I met most of the pack which only gave me their condolences and sympathy smiles. Trevor
Trevor tried to tell me who they were, but my mind wasn’t in it. Although there was a group of girls looking straight at me with deadly glares. I tried to ignore them until one of them kept starring at Trevor as he was to her. Her eyes adverted to mine and she smirked. Surprisingly I smiled because she was jealous which only meant… maybe Trevor was his true mate?
‘No! He’s ours!’
‘But what if…?”
“No!’
“Her birthday is tomorrow and she’s not my mate.”
I looked up and met his eyes as they looked down at mine.
“Yes she is and you’re rejecting her because of me, aren’t you? Now that’s one thing Xavier wouldn’t have wanted you to do.”
“She’s not my mate.”
“And how do you know that?”
“Because, you’re my mate.”
I glared at him and huffed.
“You’re just as stubborn as he is, always thinking you’re doing the best for someone when you’re only hurting them more and just like Xavier you will learn too late that just by facing your fears you can get what you want.”
“I’ve made my decision whether she likes it or not. Now maybe you should take your own advice.”
“I’m not afraid. I know where my heart belongs, where my heart will always belong.”
“You weren’t so sure of it that night.”
My heart sank, that was another thing I regretted the most or none of this would have happened.
“I’m sorry… I…”
I shook my head and walked away before I started crying in front of everyone.
“Don’t listen to him.”
I let out a sigh and shrugged as Cecilia came beside me.
“He’s right though.”
