Making A Plan
Serafine POV
I don’t understand any of this. I don’t understand why the man acted like he knew, or why my father bed so much. None of it makes sense, and the only thing my mind can understand and come up with is that my father wants me dest
He’s saying this so Xander won’t trust me, or want me around. “We’re leaving he snaps and drags me out
“I thought you wanted answers about the Calling?” That’s the reason we came, ng
I’m not going to stand here and be made a fool of more, for all i know, this is down to you and your father He continues to drag me to the car, and I’m leaving. I’m finding a way to run.
“You really believe I have the power to do that?” Looking at him, I wait. “What happened to you wouldn’t react without proc Where’s the proof Xander?”
“Who is James?” he says as we get into the car. Of course he’s going to ask that. “Wett? You didn’t deny whatever that was. so enlighten me, who is James and what did you do?”
My eyes drop, my father promised never to tell anyone. “When I was sixteen, Jarnes was fiving in the pack house. The dan when I was doing chores and not watches so closely he would come see me.”
His body turns so he’s facing me more, why though I don’t know as I’m facing out of the car
“He kept saying he was my mate, he was nineteen. That week my father found out he stopped giving me food, I was in lockdown. He told me I would be allowed food if I did something.”
“Was he your mate?” Xander snaps and I shrug.
“I felt nothing.”
A low rumble builds in his chest, and I laugh.
“How can you be jealous right now? Are you serious? You hate me, you see me as an enemy and I don’t understand why But, the moment you hear I may have had a mate before you, you get all territorial, cut the bullshit.”
My words echo around the car and Garick freezes and stares at me. Xander grips my chin, and I wince in pain.
“I’ve killed people for far less, don’t test me.”
Laughing, I nod. “Kill me, Xander. This isn’t a life I want to live anyway,” I snap and pull out of his grip.
“Just tell me what happened.”
What happened is I believed my father. “He told me to spend time with James and get him to take me into his fathers area of the pack house. There, I was to grab something. I did, I gave it to my father and he fed me. Only the day after, James was publicly ridiculed and rejected from his family and pack. My father had put the item on James so his family thought he was stealing.”
How was I to know my father planned to do that? I learnt that day my father did that because he wanted me alone. James was a friend, someone who would have spoken to me.
My father hated that, he wanted me alone and miserable. He succeeded. James was the only one to speak to me, and I destroyed it.
“So he’s alive?” Xander stares at me.
“I’m assuming so, I never heard of him dying, only that he left the pack. Why does that matter?”
Xander’s face reddens and I can feel his wolf getting closer to the front. “Because you have another fucking mate! Your father lied.”
My eyes roll before I can stop them. “Oh, I’m sorry are you disappointed by that? Does it impact your perfect plans or maybe you’re not happy you paid that amount for someone who may or may not have a mate.”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” he snaps.
“Oh, I’m ridiculous?” I laugh and look away from him.
“There will be consequences and punishments for your lies and what you did.”
I don’t turn to look at him. “Do what you want, you will anyway, and to be fair, I don’t care,” I snap. Curling up I ignore him, at some point, hours into the drive, he falls asleep
eyes go to Garick, he’s too busy focusing on th. Successfully unlocked!
Pulling out the pen, I begin to write.
How can I escape the pack and my mate?
The ink disappears, and a reply shows.

Making A Plan
Your mate is needed to build your connections, it’s not advised.
Gritting my teeth, I write again.
I’m going to be punished, I need to leave.
As soon as my words vanish, more show up.
Ask the Hollowfang Raven, they can give you a way. Just reach out in your mind, and they will come.
That’s my plan, that’s what I’m going to do then. I close the book and settle back. My eyes flick to Xander who shifts and wakes up. One day he will see, he will find out my father is lying, he will find out he did all this and hurt me without proof. Part of me is still clinging on, like I don’t want to leave. I have to though. The alternative is that I stay and Xander continues to destroy every part of me he can. I won’t let that happen. No matter how much my wolf is clinging to him, and begging me not to leave. I’m leaving.
I wish I could stay, not for Xander but to see his face when he finds out I never lied. He treats me like the enemy, like I’m the one betraying him, when all along, he’s not honest. I’ve no idea why he bought me. What he wanted me for.
I’ve no idea why he sees me as the enemy either. He’s hated me from the moment he bought and married me, and he’s never been honest as to why.
