The Way I Love You

Chapter:4

*Paisley's POV*

"Oh come on Pais! It won't be any fun if you don't go!" Lela whined as we exited the school. I rolled my eyes at my childish best friend and quickly walked towards Seth's car.

"Lela I already told you, I don't want to go to the party tonight." I replied. Lela let out a frustrated sigh and ran up next to me. She grabbed my arm and spun me around to face her.

"This will help you get your mind off of him, I promise." She said truthfully. I breathed in heavily before letting it all out in a loud sigh.

"Fine." I muttered quietly. Lela let out a happily squeal before she dragged me over to the car.

"Oh this is going to be so much fun! I'm going to make you look so good and boy is he going to regret what he did." She said happily and I could practically hear the wheels turning in her head. I groaned annoyed before getting into the car, Lela is my best friend but she can get on my nerves sometimes. Seth was already sitting in the drivers seat and when Lela and I got in he gave us questioning looks.

"What are you guys so excited about?" He asked curiously. Lela, of course, immediately started to tell him her plan.

"Paisleys going to the party tonight and I'm going to make her look so fine that every guy there will be on there knees begging for her attention." She stated proudly. I rolled my eyes at her and watched as Seth cringed.

"You know she still is my baby cousin so don't make her look to good." Seth said protectively. I slightly smiled at his protectiveness, he has always been like a brother to me. Lela let out a huff and rolled her eyes.

"Blah! She will look so good.." She said getting quieter towards the end. Seth and I rolled our eyes at the strange girl before turning our attention elsewhere. I stared out the window as we pulled out of the parking lot and I couldn't help but to let out a sigh. Today had been such a long day and I was nearly jumping for joy when the final bell rang. All day I had to watch Xander flirt and make out with other girls, it literally felt like my heart was being ripped out and to make matters worst Seth was hovering over me all day long, I mean I love him but he needs to back off.

I'm not in the mood to go to any stupid party but I know that she would have kept bothering me until I agreed to go. The party is at Ty's house, he's a jock so practically everybody will be there. I really don't know why Lela insists on me going but I guess it's to late now. I was brought out of my thoughts when Lela snapped her fingers in my face.

"We're here." She stated staring at me strangely. I lifted my head to see that we were parked in front of my house. I nodded my head but before I could get out of the car Lela put a hand on my shoulder.

"I'll be here at six to get you all sexyfied." She said with a laugh. I rolled my eyes at the silly girl and exited the car.

"Bye you guys." I said to Seth and Lela. They both smiled happily at me before driving off. I looked up my house and sighed for what felt like the hundredth time today. After what happened with my parents this morning I don't really want to go inside but I know I have to. I readjusted my bag on my shoulder before walking up the driveway and pushing open the from door.

As soon as I entered the house I heard voices coming from the living room. I quietly shut the door behind me, so I wouldn't disturb them, and walked towards the room.

"She should be home any minute now." I heard my dads voice come from inside. I was a bit confused as to who he was talking to because my mom would've already known that.

"Okay good, we need to talk to her." I heard Reeds voice. I clenched my teeth tightly, I really didn't want to see him right now. I mean don't get me wrong I love Reed but he's Xander's dad and that means he only wants to talk about one thing. I slowly turned around and started to make my way towards the stairs, very quietly so I could make my escape, but of course I had to do something stupid.

I was almost to the stairs when I rammed into a table we had set up. I cursed under my breath and tried to scramble up the stairs.

"Paisley?" I heard my moms voice come from below me. I quickened my voice but my dads demand stopped me.

"Stop right now young lady, you need to come down here and talk to us." He ordered with a hint of his alpha voice. I let out a loud, annoyed sigh before slowly turning around. My mom, dad, Reed and Emily were all standing at the bottom of the stairs looking at me expectantly. I narrowed my eyes before scrambling down the stairs and walking past them into the living room. I took a seat on one of the couches and waited for them to enter.

The four adults followed right behind me and took a seat on the couch opposite of me. I fiddled with my fingers and avoided eye contact with any of them. After a few minutes my dad let out a frustrated sigh.

"Paisley were not going to lecture you or anything we just want to talk." He stated. I raised my eyebrows but didn't look up from my fingers.

"About what?" I asked innocently. I slightly raised me head in time to see dad clench his jaw.

"Don't act like you don't know because you know exactly what we want to talk about." Dad said angrily. My mom put a comforting hand on his shoulder and he immediately calmed down. I scoffed angrily and glared at the four adults.

"Well I don't want to talk about it." I snapped back. My mom sighed quietly and looked over to me.

"Honey you need to talk about it, it's unhealthy to keep your feelings bottled." She said gently. I rolled my eyes before running a hand threw my hair.

"And maybe you'll be able to tell us what happened that made Xander say the things he did." Reed threw in. I tensed at his words. I immediately felt anger flood into me because the way he said it, he made it sound like I did something to make Xander practically reject me. I angrily stood up from my seat and glared at Reed.

"Nothing happened! Absolutely nothing happened! Your making it sound like I did something to make Xander practically reject me, but let me tell you something, I didn't! Your son is just a fucking bastard who doesn't know how to keep his pants on and it's really disappointing that I was the girl who got stuck with him as a mate!" I yelled. My breathing was coming out heavily and I could hear my wolf whimpering in my head because of the mean things I had just said about our mate.

Everybody in the room was stunned, they had never seen me like this before. I took in a deep breath and shakily let it out feeling the tears make there way to my eyes. I desperately tried to hold them in but it just wasn't working. The things I had just said about Xander were true but that didn't mean it didn't pain me to say them. A single tear ran down my face and I furiously wiped it away before looking up.

My dad looked disappointed, my mom sad but Reed and Emily looked plain out devastated. Another tear ran down my face and I knew that if I didn't leave the room quickly I would completely break down in front of them. I turned on my heels and ran out of the room.

"Paisley!" My dad called and I heard my mom quiet him down.

"Leave her bee honey, she needs some time alone or she's going to break." She said to him. It always comforted me how well my mom knows me. I ran into my bedroom and slammed the door behind me. Throwing myself on the bed I tried to hold back the tears that wanted to come out, but with no look. It was like a waterfall of tears, just streaming down my face and I couldn't stop them. I silently cried for what felt like forever and it must have been a while because I heard a knock on my door followed by the voice of Lela.

"Paisley! Are you ready to get ready?" She asked happily. I groaned in reply and wiped away the tears that were still on my face. A few seconds the door was thrown open and Lela strutted in. As soon as she saw my red, tear stained face her happy smile fell and she rushed towards me.

"What's wrong Pais?" She asked as she sat down next to me. I sighed and quickly told hold what had happened down stairs.

"I'm so sorry Pais." Lela said as soon as I finished telling her. I nodded my head and slowly sat up.

"If you don't want to go to the party anymore I won't force you." She said quietly. I shook my head before standing up.

"No I want to go." I assured her. Lela smiled happily and jumped up clapping her hands.

"Ok let's get you ready then!" She cheered. I rolled my eyes but allowed her to drag me into my bathroom. Lela immediately went to work getting me 'beautified'. Lela made me sit in a chair as she plucked and waxed, primed and prepped and ever other form of torture you could imagine and by the time she was done I was practically jumping for joy.

"Okay are you ready to look?" Lela asked me after she had slipped the very tight dress onto my body. I had stupidly agreed to let her do everything without me seeing so I had no clue what I looked like or what I was wearing at the moment.

"Yes." I said trying to hold in a groan. Lela slowly led me over to the full length mirror that was on my wall and removed her hands. As soon as I saw my reflection I gasped. I'm not trying to be vain but I looked good. My waist length, black hair was scrunched up sexily because Lela had put mouse in it and looked like I had just had a steamy make out session. Lela had put a dark line of eyeliner on my bottom lids and she had just a touch of sparkly silver eyeliner on my lids, along with a bit of mascara. My lips were covered in red lipstick and finished off with a gloss.

Lela had put me in a rather revealing dress but I couldn't bring myself to care. The dress was entirely black and it barely covered my butt. It was strapless and it had to cuts on each side on my thighs so it showed off some skin. It had cuts going down my back that stopped right above my butt and it hugged me like a glove, showing off all of my curves. On my feet I wore a pair of toe less black stilettos. All in all I looked extremely sexy.

"Wow." I said quietly and I saw Lela smirk in the mirror. I rolled my eyes and turned around so I could examine her, she already been ready before she came over. She was wearing a light purple dress that hugged her and reached right above her knees. She had left her crazy red hair down and natural so it was all over the place. We makeup was simple and she looked great.

"Seth's here, you ready to go?" Lela asked. I took one last glimpse in the mirror before nodding my head and following her out of my room. I knew that my parents, especially my dad, wouldn't approve of what I was wearing so I tried to get out quickly but of course that didn't work.

"Paisley? Where are you going?" I heard my moms voice from behind me. I slowly turned around and watched as she took in what I was wearing. She frowned but didn't comment. I was about to reply until I heard my dads footsteps behind her, my eyes widened and I started to freak out. My dad entered the room and as soon as he saw me his eyes widened and he clenched his fists.

"You are not leaving the house looking like that. Go upstairs and change right now." My dad demanded but I wasn't about ready to listen. I shook my head angrily.

"There's nothing wrong with what I'm wearing." I said firmly. Dads eyes flashed and I gulped nervously.

"Yes there is." He said angrily. I narrowed my eyes at him and clenched my teeth.

"No there's not!" I said angrily. My mom put a hand on dads shoulder but he didn't acknowledge her.

"You look like a slut!" He burst. I felt a bit of pain in my heart but I pushed it away. I gave him a determined look and stepped forward.

"I don't care it's my choice and this is what I want to wear." I said sternly. My dad let out a frustrated sigh before throwing his hands up in the air.

"Fine! Whatever!" He finally gave in. I smirked and walked towards him. I wrapped my arms around him and he hugged me back.

"Just be careful baby girl." He said in my ear as he was hugging me. I nodded my head and hugged my mom when he released me. I waved to my parents and then walked back to Lela who was waiting by the door. She smirked at me and I smiled back at her. We walked outside with are arms interlinked and as soon as we entered the car Seth groaned.

"Oh boy! I'm going to have to beat the boys off of you with a bat!" He dramatically said. I rolled my eyes at him and crossed my legs at my ankles. As we drove to the party I felt my nerves rising. I knew for a fact that Xander was going to be there and I was actually really scared to see him dressed like this. I had zoned out so again Lela had to snap her fingers in my face when we arrived.

I nervously got out of the car and looked up at the big house. I could hear the music blasting even from outside and there were already people passed out on the lawn. Lela and Seth walked over to me and together we walked up to the house. Werewolves have really good hearing so it hurt my ears once we walked into the house because the music was five times louder inside.

I scanned my eyes around the scene in front of me and cringed. The large living room had been made into a dance floor and there was at least a hundred people dancing and grinding against each other. Many people were spread out in the room swapping spit with each other, and I nearly fell down because a very drunk person stumbled into me but thankfully Seth caught my arm. I rolled my eyes and walked towards what I assumed was the kitchen.

It was even worse in the kitchen, there was alcohol littering the counters and drunkin people stumbling all over the place. Seth and Lela walked in front of me and towards the counter that the drinks were on. Seth tried to hand me a beer but I pushed it away and went straight for the bottle of vodka that was sitting on the counter.

"Wow calm down there Pais, we all know how you act when you get drunk." Seth said as he tried to take the bottle away from me. I narrowed my eyes at him and pulled the bottle closer to me.

"I'll be fine." I replied happily. I popped the lid off of the bottle and took a long swig of it, cringing as it stung my throat going down. Lela raised her eyebrows at me but I shrugged her off. I scanned my eyes around the room and nearly stopped breathing when my eyes connected with a certain somebody's. Xander was standing on the opposite side of the large kitchen and his eyes were fixed on me.

I watched as his eyes roamed up and down my body and I couldn't help but to smirk. His eyes turned a shade darker and I could see the lust in them. He had just started walking towards me when a blonde girl stepped in front of him and placed a hand on his chest. She said something to him and batted her eyelashes afterwards, seeing her hand on his chest pissed me off and I wanted to hurt her.

Xander smiled cockily down at the slutty girl before looking up and smirking at me. He led her over to the dance floor and they immediately started grinding on each other. I gritted my teeth and looked away from the two. I took a big gulp of the vodka before taking a seat on a stool. Seth and Lela seemed to have disappeared but I shrugged it off. I looked back over to Xander and nearly cried when I did. Him and the slutty blonde were in a heavy make out session and he had both of his hands firmly planted on her butt.

It was like Xander could feel my gaze on him because he looked up. When he caught me staring at him he smirked before retiring to the girl. I was about to get up and leave until a brilliant plan formed in my head. I smirked evilly and roamed my eyes over the crowd. When I spotted my target I strutted towards him sexily. Ty was standing in a group with his friends and as soon as they saw me walking towards them they started wolf whistling.

"Hey sexy." Ty smirked as I approached them. It was obvious that he was into me and that made what I was about to do then times more fun. I walked up real close to him and placed a hand on his chest.

"Hey baby. Do you want to have a little fun?" I purred. I watched as he gulped harshly and his friends snickered in the background. Ty was in Xander's pack and a senior so this was a little risky.

"What exactly did you have in mind baby?" He asked as he raised his eyebrows suggestively. Ty was a really good looking guy, with blonde hair, blue eyes and a strong build, but he just wasn't my type. I bit my lip and roamed my eyes up and down his body.

"Dancing of course." I said and watched as his face slightly fell. I smirked at him and pressed myself into him.

"Unless you don't want to?" I asked as I batted my eyelashes innocently. Ty immediately shook his head and I smiled at him. I grabbed his large arm and led him towards the dance floor, swaying my hips as I went. I could see that Xander was in the same spot as before so I walked over there. I immediately started swaying my hips to the beat and moving to the music. Ty got behind me so I swayed my backside against his front. He let out a groan and thats what got Xander's attention.

Xander's head snapped towards us and and soon as he saw us grinding against each other his eyes flashed black. I watched as he tensed and with a smirk I continued to dance with Ty. This went on for about five minutes and I was beginning to think that it wasn't going to work when I felt Ty's lips on my neck. I smirked happily and tangled my fingers in his hair. In all honestly though I didn't want Ty anywhere near me.

Ty was happily sucking on my neck when suddenly I was torn away from him and by the sparks that I felt I knew it was Xander.

"What the hell?!" He asked angrily. Ty's eyes were wide and he was looking at me confused. Xander had a hold of my left arm and my wolf was purring because of how close we were.

"What's wrong man?" Ty asked Xander calmly. Xander glared evilly at Ty and that caused him to step back.

"Stay away from her, she's mine!" He growled angrily. Ty's eyes widened and he looked to me. I could tell that he knew we were mates and he gave me a questioning look.

"I'm sorry man, I didn't know that you guys were mates." Ty said holding up his hands. Xander growled and it looked like he was about to snap so I put my hands on his chest and gently caressed him, while I stared up at him. He looked down at me and his eyes softened, a few seconds later he stopped shaking.

"Just stay away from her." Xander repeated and with that Ty walked away. Xander then turned towards me and I gulped because there was anger in his eyes. He slowly leaned in towards me and I felt my breath hitch. He brought his lips down to my neck and hungrily started to nip and suck. I gasped at the sensation and quickly brought my hands up to his hair. Xander continued to suck for a few more seconds before he pulled away and looked down at my neck. A big smirk made its way onto his face before he looked down at me.

"You are mine Paisley and don't you forget that." Xander said with one last smirk before walking away. I stared at his back completely confused, what does he mean I'm his? He practically rejected me and now he's saying I'm his? Oh hell no! I raised my hand up to my neck and cringed when I touched the part Xander had been sucking on. My eyes widened when I realized what it was. I ran over to the mirror hanging on the wall and nearly screamed wham I saw the large red/purple hickey that was on my neck. He had practically marked me as his. My scumbag mate suddenly wants me back, just great.
