Alpha Xander
Chapter 18

I raised my palm to his face, showing the scars I got from slashing my palm last night to save him from the trap.

His gaze fell on the scar, and he squinted his eyes like he was trying to understand what it was, I stared at him feeling my heart thud louder in my chest, fear was sipping in and this time, it wasn't the fear of how huge he was or his powers, but I was being afraid of his rejection, afraid of him denying ever knowing me, I was so scared he would ignore the sacrifice I made to save him from the trap. "What is that?" He asked pointing at the scar and my heart skipped a beat, he moved his gaze to my face having a sneer, I could feel my legs tremble under me.

"You don't remember this scar?" I asked with a shaky voice.

"What if I can remember it?..do you think it would save you from me?" He raised his gaze, sending an unfriendly look to me.

"You can remember what I did for you and yet, you won't mind hurting me?" I asked lowly, blinking out more tears,

He made a peal of short croaky laughter and walked closer to me with a smirk.

"Do you know who I am?" He asked with a glare, I shut my eyes as his body drew so close to me, the tension built between us was making me feel hot, those muscles and deep frowns was enough to make me run away, but I guess the fear of all that was already seeping away and replaced with the pain of heartbreak...

I raised my gaze to his face and felt my heart vessels tighten, those eyes were once charming and filled with passion and care, I can still recall that night I saved him,

Less did I know it was just his tricks to get me to save him,

"Will you hurt me?" I asked slowly, feeling my heart being stabbed at how he gawped at me.

"I won't only hurt you but kill you!... I'm taking away Hutton's joy, everything he cares for since you are his mate, and he cares for you, just know you aren't going to escape my death claw today!!" He growled and pushed me hard that I fell heavily to the ground hitting my b**t hard sending pains all over me...

He stared at me for some seconds and walked away almost immediately, his pace was fast like he was running from something, I groaned in pain as I stood up slowly.

My eyes roamed around, and I saw all the students stare at me like a ghost.

"Did he just let you go with a single push?" One of the students gasped while I scrubbed my b**t with a wince of pain, it was like I had already broken my b**t bone, the pain was so intense forcing tears out of my eyes, his push was so hard, I felt his great power, My heart was broken and deep in me, I felt so hurt by what he did to me, I had saved him from death yet, he was still going to kill me.

I pulled myself up from the ground walking to my seat, I couldn't replace Hutton, making me wonder where he had gone to, I was sure he must be the one who asked the teacher to treat me that way, his hatred for me is so deep.

I sat on the chair and yelped in pain, it still hurt so much after landing with my b**t from Xander's push, I swear I never expected him to treat me that way, I had heard he has a cold heart and got no glimmer of affection, but I couldn't believe that until now. My vision was blurred from the hot tears that covered my eyes,

"Your life is in danger" I heard a male voice, making me look up to see two male students staring at me with pity in their eyes.

"We are sorry for what he did to you at the same time, we are surprised at how lucky you are" the other one with blonde hair sighed making me arch my brow.

"I wasn't lucky, he hates me and threatened to kill me more cruelly than Scarlett, he pushed me so hard to the ground that I think my b**t is broken!" I shrilled, sniffing in pain from his rejection,

I can't really tell why it hurts me so much at how he treated me, I was really having other thoughts in mind before he did all this to me,

"You are lucky he didn't kill you instantly, you stood in front of him talking straight to his face without moving back or bowing, Xander doesn't spare anyone who tries that, we had thought he would kill you instantly, but it seemed like he couldn't" the dark-haired guy breathed and looked into my face.

"Have you two met somewhere before?" He asked.

"Why are you asking?" I questioned.

"Xander wasn't so cruel on you" the other replied instead.

"He was wicked to me!... the push was so hard!!!" I yelled in tears.

"You don't seem to know him well, we just hope he doesn't kill you so soon" the dark-haired one mumbled under his breath with sadness visible in his eyes.

"We are afraid of losing you, even when this is your first time in this school, and we hadn't got to know each other, I won't want you to be hurt, but it seems Hutton wants your death" the blonde one grunted reducing his voice at the ending part. "You know too?" I exclaimed.

"Yes, that would be the only reason he would announce you as his mate instead of hiding it, he is aware that Xander wants the death of his mate, he announced you, so Xander would take your life!" The dark-haired guy hissed softly, looking down to the ground. "Wow....you both really had guts!" We heard the voice of Hutton from behind, causing the guys to cringe and sprang up from my desk where they had sat.

"We are sorry....wwe..... it...is...please..." They both stuttered in fear as Hutton breathed glared at them angrily.

"You both had the gut to woo my mate?" He growled, banging his fist on the desk.

I opened my mouth to explain but got a hot slap from him that made my brain go blank.

The men tried running at that opportunity, but Hutton was a strong wolf who they couldn't match with, he shifted into his big fierce wolf and made to attack them, but I stood in the gap quickly receiving the blow which he sent to them.

I fell to the ground in pain as my belly hurt so intensely.

"They are innocent, stop fighting for me!" I yelled, sniffing my tears,

Hutton paused and looked down at me with the most hateful look ever.

"Who is fighting for you?" He whispered with his wolf voice having a distrustful tone.

"Then let them be!!" I shrilled,

Just then, the school bell rang for break period, he shifted back to his human form and grabbed my hand, heading out immediately.

"Where are you taking me to?" I cried out,, but he wasn't listening or stopping his quick step.

"I will beat you to stupor before Xander takes your life, how could you stand for those boys when you know the plan we made to have you act like my mate!!!" He howled as we walked all alone to a path which seemed to be leading to a secluded place, "So you want to hurt them just to make it look like I'm your mate, this is crazy!!...just hand me to Xander, tell him to kill me and end it all!!!.. I'm tired of all this!" I screamed in pain and heartbreak,

He paused his pace and I dragged off my hand from his grip.

"Hutton, I can't allow anyone to be hurt again just because of me, it makes me feel like a curse, that was why I stood on the gap and took the blow, I'm a useless wolf who has no power, my inner wolf is the weakest, we have no importance in this world, just hand me to Xander then!" I cried out, crossing my arms over my chest as I sobbed at my broken heart.

The moment I saw Xander as the same man I saved, I was so happy, I felt great joy thinking he would love me a bit but even after seeing the scar on my palm, he wasn't moved at all and was still going to kill me...

This had been the most painful thing that had ever happened to me, now, I feel like dying, I want to die, I don't just know why this hurts me so differently that I wished to commit suicide.

"What happened between you and the teacher, and why did Xander almost killed the teacher instead of you?!" Hutton asked with a deep growl.

"He threatened to also kill me, I'm afraid I may not see tomorrow, the beat up the teacher for asking him questions, why would Xander be this heartless." I cried out.

"Where is the dagger my mother gave you?" He asked with a disdainful look.

I brought it out and stretched it out to him.

He slapped me for that and dragged my collar, pulling me closer...

"You are not going to die until you kill Xander, he will come for your life today, your shitty a*s is gonna use this dagger to slit his throat since you made my mom to believe in you!!!" He bawled, shaking me roughly before pushing me away. I managed not to fall but got my head pound so badly that got tears flowed down profusely.

"Your mom asked me to kill Xavier not Xander" I whimpered, and he stared at me like a real mad woman in the trashcan,

"Xavier is more powerful than Xander, he is Xander's father and got numerous guards and dark magic, he is in his throne in the Royal chamber of the red moon pack, hardly comes out unless he is going for war, how on earth do you think of killing him in your entire life!!!" Hutton growled, gritting his teeth in fury.

I bowed my head to the ground reminiscing on his words, he was right, how would I ever kill Xavier?. I won't gain access to him freely without losing my life!!!

"The only way to get Xander is through his son, get his son trapped and lure him out!...now go in there and fight with him!!!" Hutton commanded, leaving my jaw dropping as great fear gripped him. "What did you say?" I asked with my eyes widened as I froze to a spot.

"Xander stays in that garden over there whenever it is break period, he had warned no one to step foot in there, you are going there to kill him." He ordered, and I knew quite well that it was ending for real.

"You really want me to...." I paused and glanced at the desolated garden which was a bit far from where we stood, he was right, there was no single student around there.

"You won't want the death of everyone who cared for you, especially Linda, so do as I said now." He thundered impatiently, clenching his fist.

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath.

I had asked him to offer me to Xander earlier, so he would kill me once and for all, I never believed or thought he would do it, for real, I was going to meet my death earlier than I thought.
