Chapter 3
That night Xavier and I slept in separate rooms.
It was also the last time I happened to see Xavier for the next few days. Staying away from him, I was able to properly analyze the kind of toxic loop we were in.
For the first time in a long time, it felt like I was able to breathe
properly and so, I used that opportunity to bury myself in my work with the pups at the orphanage.
There were days when I also got to visit my parents and get to properly
talk to them.
My parents were gammas and when they found out that my mate was the Alpha of the pack they were over the moon because they knew that having such a connection like that would also bring about a change in status and wealth. When I first told them about the arguments I would have with Xavier, they were always so quick to shove it aside, that was until I brought up my miscarriage.
“I have had just enough of your mate’s behavior. If the pack healer hadn’t gotten to you when he did, then maybe it wasn’t only your unborn child we would have lost, Stella,” my dad mentioned, his eyes narrowed and his fingers clenched into fists.
Deep down, I wish that I could make the situation better than it actually was, but I couldn’t think of any way to make the situation look less worse than it already was.
My mum pitched, looking just as worried as my dad was. “Your father is right. The only person Xavier seems to care about is that Quinn Jill woman. He didn’t even show up for my last birthday because of her.”
“I’m happy that you‘ re finally starting to see things from my angle. Now, I’m just tired of the fights and silent wars and everything… I don’t think I can do this anymore,” I told both my parents, my voice slightly breaking.
My dad stood up from his seat. “Then don’t. You can start a whole new life in another pack. You received one of the best education the pack had to offer and before you became Luna, you just so happened

We can go with you and start life and where no one will know about your history with Alpha Xavier and here you won’t ever worry about some woman named Quinn over ag
this blue eyes sparkled with something bright when he was done with his little pitch. My mum in the corner, nodded as well and to say that I was shaken to see that act this way would have to be an
understatement.
I expected them to be angry, but what I didn’t expect was for them to go against the alpha. “And what about the consequences? Xavier may not love me, but I know one thing for sure. His wolf still sees me s his and the alpha aura in him wouldn’t be able to just let me go so easily.”
The confidence they both had seemgel to dwindle a bit, but they didn’t seem like they were done just yet.
“You could always reject him and raise a case to the elders. I’m sure that they would understand and you would have evidence and witnesses… that is if you are truly ready to leave this toxic relationship you have with him,” my mum suggested, her voice softer than it had been earlier.
Just as I was about to give her a reply my phone bussed in my pocket and I was quick to take it out.
I had gotten a message from one of my friends, Jenna. She just so happened to dislike the alpha because of how he treated me.
Opening her text, I saw that she had sent me a post from Quinn. The post read:
I really envy her for meeting someone as amazing as you are so early If, and I mean if you’d met me even a minute sooner, would you have chosen to love me?
It was clear as day that Quinn was referring to me and just to make matters worse, underneath the post Alpha Xavier commented: Yes. Followed by Xavier’s comment was hat of his Beta, Jake. It readi Sometimes, fate just arrives late. If there’s a chance for you two, I
