Unshatter me

Chapter 26

You want me to lie here
You say 'Its okay'
When I wanna rip all the doors off this place
Set it on fire and just walk away
So I can feel anything else but this weight
Cause I let you in, when I needed space
And you crossed the line when I pushed you away
How could you? How could you

"I think I need to make one thing very clear Xerxes once and for all. I am not going to be a second or third option anymore. You saw me as a replacement of your first  failed attempt of having a mate and so, because I'm weak, vulnerable, and currently mate less, I fit into your criteria

Trust me, I have been through this before and I don't think I'm willing to ever put myself in a similar situation again.

Another thing is that I do not share and clearly, you have already been claimed. So sort out your issues, fix the pending issues that you have with your mate and let life move on

And so here is my answer because I know that you have wanted to hear it.

I reject your feelings because sadly I do not feel the same way. Besides, all we ever do is quarrel and make each other frustrated and also it's due to the fact that I do not think I have what it takes to become your Luna

Thank you though for letting me into your pack and enabling me to take care of the children. I also want to thank you for providing a roof over my head in the beginning of my stay here.

I honestly hope that you find your happiness because I'm sure you will definitely not get it from me and now without wasting any more of your time, I'd like to bif you goodbye because I have a lot of pending work to deal with"

That left him speechless.

I don't think he expected me to reply the way I did.

"I know I was wrong for not telling you about Larissa, but do you really have to do this? I get it, you're upset and you are probably not thinking straight,I can come again when everything has cooled down and maybe your answer would be better and we'll thought"

"Xerxes, you know, you're trying to fix something that is bound to fail mad one thing I have realised so far about you is that you never like to loose. You want things done your way. If you don't like something or if something proves to be an obstacle,you eliminate it.

Just as you did to your beta. Have you even tried to think of this entire situation in my point of view huh?

What if hypothetically speaking my mate ,that you had no idea about, shows up out of no where and let's just say that the previous day before his arrival,I claimed that I loved you, what would you do about it?

What if this mate of mine also came here for protection and in that process , asks for my forgiveness and a second chance huh? Would you just stay still and accept everything Xerxes?

Will you be okay knowing that another man who is meant to be my other and better half is in the same room or environment as I?

Would you feel confident if you see him helping me around amd making me smile?

Would you stand the thought of him being very close to me every single day Xerxes? Will you"

He was silent and looked away, shame was evident all over his face

"You can't even say anything huh because you know that I am right. You know the strength of the mate bond and you know the consequences of trying to go against it"

"One chance Andrea, please that is all that I'm asking. Just one chance to prove the authenticity of the feelings that I have for you

You may not know but what I feel for you is unlike anything I have ever felt for Larissa . These feelings are genuine and they are not temporary. If you give me a chance , I promise that you will never regret it

I'll do everything that I can to show my sincerity "

"What about your mate? What are you going to do about her?"

I wanted to see how selfish and heartless he could be

As I said, I had experienced all of this before but then I wasn't the other woman. I was the legitimate mate.

I watched as my ex mate, Nathaniel,promise his other woman the world and everything within it. I also happened to hear nearly the exact conversation I just had with Xerxes from Nathaniel

By then, his side piece had discovered about my existence and started to feel 'guilty' and questioned Nathaniel of what he was going to do about me

Nathaniel did not fail to disappoint my expectations. He said, and I quote,

"I will reject her when I get the chance and once her use in this place is done I will make sure that she is banished"

One thing I vowed to myself after that statement was that I was never going to let myself be in that situation again

I would never want anyone to experience the same kind of pain that I was in

"I will reject Larissa when I get the chance and once I have obtained all the information that I need from her, I will banish her again out of the pack and if she resists then I will make sure that she never walks out of this pack alive".

He said it with so much conviction and he probably failed to see the disgust and disappointment that was all over my face

He was just like Nathaniel only crueler and had more power

I'd I hadn't met Nathaniel and experienced all I did when I was with him, I would have believed him and accepted him.

I would have been patient and I would have let him do the exact thing that he said, but I knew better.

What he was planning to do was cruel and I chose not to be apart of it

"Xerxes, kindly leave my office"

"Andrea"

"I have already made up my mind and nothing is going to change it. I chose not to love you or to be apart of the cruelty you want to undertake. So kindly leave"..

"Andrea"

"Leave, and don't ever speak of this again"

"This isn't over"
