Chapter 4 4

Madeleine's POV

"Fine, you do not want me as your mate; what do you want from me then?" I spoke, my voice thick with anger realized he didn't answer my question.

He gave me a hard look, his fist clenched tight. "You forgot I saved you from that horrible place! You should be lucky you have a decent place to sleep and food to eat."

"Who said I needed saving?" My voice trembled as I asked. He took a step closer, his face close to mine, burning with anger. At that moment, I was terrified.

I didn't know where the courage to speak that way came from. Without a word, he left the room. I was so desperate for answers, so I followed him heading in his direction, I was so blinded by anger that I didn't see the pool in front of me.

I slipped, and fell into the pool. "I can't swim! "Help me!" I screamed, and my voice choked with fear. It didn't take long; Xavier dived into the pool and pulled me out. I coughed out the little water I had swallowed.

He looked at me with an angry face. "You can't swim?" He asked, looking disappointed. "How careless can you be?" I just kept shut because I couldn't defend myself.

He carried me up in his arms; his grip was gentle despite the fact that he was angry. As he held me, I felt a feeling of longing. I didn't want this moment to end. He kept me in bed.

"Sit here; don't move." I sat there with a mixture of emotions."Is this how love feels? I asked myself.

Suddenly, Rue replied, "Yessss!"

"What?"

"What's wrong?" He asked. "Nothing" I replied. "Dry yourself off," he said as he handed me a towel before leaving again. The feelings of loneliness, fear, and confusion creeped in again.

The way he held me, the way his anger turned into concern. But then I remembered how I got rejected the fourth time. This feeling was different. "Could this be it? I hope he feels the same way too."

I'm It was raining outside already. I cleaned up and changed into new clothes. Then I heard a knock on the door, but I didn't even get the chance to reply when Xavier pushed the door open and entered.

He walked towards me, his steps quiet. He stood right in front of me, and for a moment I could hear only the sounds of my heartbeat. Reaching out for my face, he removed a strand of hair from my face.

His touch sent a spark through my body. "I hope you didn't catch a cold." He asked while his fingers slid down to my neck. I felt weak and fluttery inside. He leaned forward, wrapping his hands around my waist and pulling me close, and he kissed me.

I loved the taste of his lips on mine. "My mate just kissed me." What does this mean? He moved away, but I leaned forward and kissed him again. His kiss was soft and passionate.

I raised my legs to reach for him because he was too tall. Then he lifted me up off the ground while I wrapped my hands around his neck. "I want you," I whispered while he held me tight.

He kept me slowly on the bed. "Take your dress off; I want to watch you." I slowly undressed myself as he watched. He leaned closer, and this time the kiss was intense, like he was desperate.

"You're mine, "he said, whispering in my ear. "Mine alone forever. "I'm all yours," I replied softly. I held him, driving him further inside me. The rain kept falling outside, but inside was filled with a storm of passion.

It was the next day, and heading outside, I took a deep breath of fresh air. I walked around a bit to become familiar with some places. All this while, I have been treated nicely here.

It's such a good change of environment, and I was pleased. Since the incident at the pool, things have changed a bit. Xavier didn't speak much to me. But as mates, the connection has been strong these past few days.

I walked around the training area, looking for Xavier. I checked the cabin, where I saw him the last time. But he wasn't there. Still walking around, I saw some of the Xavier men.

They were talking and laughing, so I decided to ask them. "Sorry to interrupt your discussion," I said politely. "Have you seen Alpha Xavier?"

"No, we haven't," one of them replied. I thanked them and walked away, feeling disappointed. As I walked away, I could overhear them talking about me. "That's Alpha Xavier's new whore."

"What!! A whore?" I said quietly. "Of course she's really beautiful and sexy; I'll give her that. Given the fact that he has a beautiful wife at home too."

"A wife?" I felt my heart pounding in my chest.

"He's married?" I whispered to myself. "You know Alpha's are allowed to have as many women as they want. Alpha Xavier sure does get the sweet ones," the man said while he laughed.

I managed to hold back my tears as I ran up to my room. "So all this while he was married and he didn't say a word? Everything that happened between us was all a lie." I asked myself as I sobbed.

Then I cleaned my tears and watched through my window to see if I could spot Xavier coming back. My window was directly facing the entrance. "I won't cry anymore till I get answers from Xavier," I said.

Just when I decided to wait for him he drove in. I rushed downstairs and met him in his room. I pushed the door open with anger. "You have a wife? You didn't think you should have told me about it?!"

"What in the fucking hell am I doing here if you have a wife already? Am I your sex slave now, someone you can use whenever you please?" I cried as I spoke.

"You are my mate, Madeleine; that's why you're here." Satisfied?" He said he felt less concerned. I laughed out of anger. "Why haven't you accepted me yet because of your wife?"

"I own you now, Madeleine," he said, slowing and moving towards me. "Whether you like it or not, you're mine now." I got scared at that moment.

"Now go to your room and get dressed; we have a journey ahead of us. Out!" He said, looking furious, his eyes red like he was ready to devour someone. Without uttering a word, I turned and left his room.

I was hurt and confused at the same time. "Am I trapped again?" I was so angry, because everything I thought I knew was a lie. "Should I escape? The thought crossed my mind.

But I surrounded by warriors, and I was the only female in their midst? I haven't had my wolf yet. "Can I even defend myself?" No, it was a useless thought.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed the thought aside. After all, I'm stuck with my mate rather than being a slave.

Moments later, Alpha Xavier and Dante headed to the van, looking grim. Silently, we all entered the van. I had no idea where we were going, but one thing was clear: my life wasn't mine anymore.

We drove for hours, and finally the car got to a stop. And just then, a gigantic gate swung open in front of us. Another smaller gate followed as we got in. My jaw dropped when I set my eyes on the biggest mansion I had ever seen.

It was three times bigger than the one I used to live in. This was definitely the Night Walker Pack, the largest and most powerful pack in the whole country. Everything looked luxurious: the interior design, the furniture, everything screamed wealth and power.

I couldn't believe I was here with my mate. At that moment, I didn't care that Xavier hadn't accepted me yet; all the anger and frustration melted away. I felt like I was home.

All of a sudden, a beautiful lady in a red, revealing dress looking like a tall glass of wine rushed towards Xavier and hugged him tightly. I couldn't quite see her face, probably because I wasn't close to them.

But I knew immediately that it was his wife. I stood there like a log of wood.

The lady greeted Dante warmly, then she turned to looked at me. I was paralysed with shock. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Xavier's wife was Juliette, my sister! How??
