Chapter 4:
These past two days have gone by quickly and each day I grew even more paranoid. What if he really is planning on kicking me out of the pack? Where am I supposed to go? But the question that is really bugging me is, who is he going to say his mate is?
Today was the day Xavier officially becomes alpha. Everyone was helping out, decorating the pack house and cooking. Of course they only helped out until they couldn't be bothered which meant the omega would have to finish it off. Our omega Crystal was an averaged height girl at the age of 15 with blondish brown hair and hazel green eyes. She was really thin and fair skinned.
As soon as the other pack members left, to probably do last minute shopping for the party tonight, Crystal walked in. When she saw me she bowed her head and apologised for being in my sight and started to retreat to the door. "Why are you sorry?" I asked her.
She turned back around "Well, most people usually don't like my company. They would torture me if I didn't get out of their sights fast enough, and since you're the beta's daughter I just didn't want to offend you."
I seriously wanted to go up to her and hug her. She stood there looking at the floor as she spoke and in a position that made her ready to turn around and run off if I got aggravated with her. "Oh, I'm sorry. You have nothing to worry about though; I won't harm you in any way. It seems you're not the only one whose company they hate." I sighed at the last part.
"What do you mean, you're the beta's daughter you could easily silence them." She said shocked.
I laughed quietly and she stared at me weirdly. "Yes I'm the beta's daughter but apparently I secretly planned an attack on Elena and I steal people's mates." I looked back at her and she was still looking at me strangely.
"Haven't you heard the rumours?" I asked her.
"Well yeah I guess, but I don't take it into consideration. My motto is I got to see it to believe it."
"Whoa" was all I was able to say. She just smiled at me and went to go stick up the decorations. "Do you need help?" I asked as she had to finish decorating this whole house before tonight.
"Oh um I've never been offered help before. But I guess since this house is massive I would be stupid not to accept your help, so if you wouldn't mind-"
"Don't be silly, I'd love to help." She smiled at me again and resumed sticking up the decorations. We continued decorating the house and blowing balloons up in silence, but it wasn't awkward. "You know what would make this even better?" she just shrugged her shoulders as she began to think. "Music. Music would make this fun." I said as I smiled at her. I went to the stereo and plugged my iPod in and blasted 'The Boys' by Nicki Minaj .
I was surprised when Crystal started dancing. She was definitely gaining confidence and for that I was happy. As I started throwing the balloons everywhere I sang "You get high, love a bunch of girls, and then cry, on top of the world, I hope you have the time of your life, alright, don't lose it tonight" As Nicki Minaj started to rap I started to move my body to the rhythm as Crystal started clapping and whistling.
Crystal started sticking up the pictures the art classes painted. I quickly ran and picked mine out. I knew exactly where this will be placed. I must've been smiling like the Grinch as Crystal asked what I was so happy about. I just said in time she would find out. I went and hung my picture right on top of the table where the alcohol will be placed.
We stated cooking the food and boy was that tiring. We were cooking for a bunch of fricken pigs. By the time we finished preparing the food, Alpha Caleb came in and thanked us telling us the place looked amazing and Xavier would love it. We still needed to put the food on the table and Alpha Caleb said he would take care of the alcohol so when we finished we could go get ready since it was 6pm and the party started at 9.
Die young by Kesha started to play and I immediately let my body take over as I danced. "I hear you're heartbeat to the beat of the drums, Oh what a shame that you came here with someone, so while you're here in my arms let's make the most of tonight like we're gonna die young!" I sang as I danced all over the place and when I realised Crystal wasn't here I started swaying my hips and whipping my hair around.
I was interrupted by a playful growl. I stopped dead in my tracks and slowly turned around to see who saw me dancing. As I turned around I saw that it was none other than Xavier. He was smiling at me but as he realised what he just did his eyes bulged out of their sockets. He cleared his throat and looked me in the eye. "Thanks for the umm the, the" he didn't finish talking as his eyes roamed up and down my body. I looked down at myself feeling self-conscious all of a sudden. I was wearing a black tank top that clung to my body like it was my second skin and pink denim shorts that fell to mid-thigh and black vans.
"You were saying?" I snapped feeling insecure.
His eyes landed on mine and his cheek turned slightly pink. HE'S BLUSHING! He's so cute when he blushes, but we hate him remember! "Oh um Thanks for doing this." He said as he turned around the room. "The pictures are ni-" he stopped when he saw what I assumed to be my picture because he stalked off in that direction. He went to the wall and ripped the picture down and stalked back to me. "Is this yours?" he said as he turned the picture around.
The picture was a painting of Ian Somerhalder kissing me and Xavier just staring at us. Mr Essop just said we had to paint a picture of him and I did... in way. "Why yes it is. Don't you think I'm a good artist?" I said innocently.
"I don't want this picture on the wall Chloe!" he said.
"Then where should it be placed?" I continued my innocent act. "In your room?" A small smirk playing on my face.
"Chloe I don't want to see this picture anywhere!" he roared
"I'm confused. Why don't you want this picture up? I think it's a great picture of you." I said as I pointed to him in the corner of the canvas.
He growled. "Chloe it's not my picture I'm worried about and you know it."
"No, I don't know. What are you so worried about Xavier?"
"Chloe don't-"
"Don't what Xavier?" I asked as I walked closer to him. Ok Chloe it's now or never. If you don't get him to regret rejecting you now then you might lose him forever.
"Chloe don't........this picture..... w-what a-are y-you d-doing?" he stuttered as I was right in front of him.
"Xavier I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you with this picture." I pouted as I batted my eye lashes. I saw him gulp and tried my best to hide my smile. "Think you can forgive me?" I said innocently.
"Chloe I, you need to" he didn't finish his sentence though.
"Need to what?" I asked as I looked in his eyes. We were only a few centimetres apart.
He didn't say anything as he leaned in and closed the distance between us and kissed me. My wolf was in full control as she finally has her mate after 2 years. Our mouths moved in sync and he licked over my bottom lip asking for entrance which I allowed straight away since my wolf is controlling me. His tongue explored every inch of my mouth as mine did, our tongues wrestled for dominance which he won. I pulled away for breath but Xavier growled and crashed his lips on mine kissing me more rough. Things were getting pretty heated his hands were roaming my body and he was playing with the hem of my singlet.
"Chloe sorry I was just in the bath WOAH what's going on here?" Crystal screamed. I immediately pulled away ignoring Xavier's growls. I took control back over myself and looked at Crystal. Xavier looked over at Crystal and he calmed down.
"Crystal is it?" he asked her and she nodded. "Nothing was happening here, and if you tell anyone about me kissing the pack sl*t I'll kick you out of the pack. Do you understand?" she nodded again and he just walked off.
I looked over at Crystal and she looked at me sympathetically. "Let me guess, that jerk that's going to be our alpha is you're mate."
"Is it that obvious?" I might as well tell her since I got caught.
"Well the way you look at him even after he insults you tells it all." She simply replied.
"Ughh I hate feeling like this, like I'm not good enough because whatever I do he would never accept me and judging by the rumours he wouldn't. I just want to move on and stop feeling heart broken." I cried. She just came and hugged me. I ended up telling her the whole story and by the end of the story Crystal's shirt was stained with my tears.
"Chloe you deserve someone better who will put you first and love you instead of insult you." Crystal said as she hugged me again. I just thanked her and told her to come home with me so she could wear one of my outfits to the party. She refused but after ten minutes of persuasion she finally agreed.
We went back home and luckily my eyes weren't puffy or red. Mum and Dad just smiled at us and didn't question Crystal. Daniel was sound asleep in his room. I ran in his room and kissed him goodnight and then returned and dragged Crystal into my room.
I ran into my closet and started looking for my tight black dress that would look hot on Crystal. When I found it I threw it at her and told to go shower and put it on while I looked for something to wear.
I'm going to dress to impress.
