When Vanessa was gone everyone felt that the matter had settled down but the truth was far from it.
“Alpha of Jade moon pack, are you a fool?! Do you have any idea what kind of disaster have you brought forth!” Elder Matthew directly addressed Xavier, his voice filled with rage like never before.
“Elders, do you not remember The prophecy from all those years ago? Haven’t I instructed you, all those years ago to take care of the werewolf princess and no matter what you cannot let her suffer. Is this how you have been taking care of her? Do you want all our race to perish because of your folly!”
He slammed his fist on the table making the courtroom fall into utter silence.
“Elder Matthew… We know we have failed but how can the race perish because of the

princess?”
“Are you all crazy?! The Princess is the key to the prophecy!” gasps filled the
courtroom as the people were reminded of the past, Xavier on the other hand frowned unable to understand anything.
“Are you saying that it is true?”
“Of course it is truth! The moon goddess herself designated that the werewolf princess’s first child with her fated mate was going to defeat the evil forces and rule the world!” Xavier’s mother trembled when she heard the prophecy while Xavier could
not believe this ears.
“But the first child of The Princess is now
gone and that can mean only one thing…” Elder Matthew sighed before looking at Xavier with contempt.
“What do you mean?” Xavier asked in astonishment.

Mia a mate like you or there might be a possibility that you are not the true mate of the werewolf princess. You are just a substitute who took the place of her fated mate and brought catastrophe to all of us.”
“NO! How dare you!” Xavier screamed partially shifting in fury.
“Mia is mine, that’s impossible! I will have
her back!”
“Then go on and try your best Alpha Xavier. The princess has closed her heart for you and there is no possibility of reconciliation but you can still try your hardest to win the love of the princess but remember if this does not happen then you must know that you are a thief who stole someone’s mate and instead of keeping the woman safe you abused her.
When that time comes you will be a criminal of all the race.”

later Xavier sat in the pack orphanage, his. head in his hands. Across from him, an six- year–old boy with Vanessa‘ s shadow on
his face.
“Uncle Xavier.” even the child understood
that he should not refer to Xavier as his
father anymore.
“Will you visit me?” Eliot asked hesitantly.
Xavier hesitated. “I’ll try,” he said, though the weight of his guilt for our dead child and hatred for Vanessa told him it. might be better if he didn’t.
As Xavier left the orphanage, he did not turn back to look at the boy and directly went to the bar drowning himself in
alcohol.
Even after changing my phone number, I received an anonymous call in the middle of the night, with a drunk Xavier on the
other end.
“Baby, Mia…I was a fool..I was wrong and stupid. I thought Vanessa was so pitiful to

Mia I will leave the pack for you, I will never talk to my mother who tormented you all this time.”
“Xavier you are drunk, but this is no excuse to continue pestering me, just stop bothering me anymore. You and I were over the moment you chose Vanessa over me. I went to hell to just be with you but I regret putting so much effort for someone like you.”

“I know I was a bastard, I went to your
office today Mia… They told me everything that you went through.” I was startled when Xavier started crying as if the memories brought pain to him.
“I will do everything that you want, I promise I will change but please I don‘ t want a divorce. Can we talk, please, let’s meet and talk just once?”

“No need.”
“Please Mia, just this once where are you? I miss you so much. I want to find you.”
I sighed, my heart heavy.
“Xavier, you can’t find me, I am far away from there.” I said, my voice steady.
“What do you mean?”
“I am back to with my family. The place where I feel safe unlike your home or your mother’s place.”
Silence hung between us, thick and suffocating.
“The divorce agreement has been sent. If there are no issues, just sign it. Please, don’t make this uglier than it has to be.”
“I won’t sign it! You cannot leave me Mia, please fight for us. Please give me one last chance.”
“If you don’t want to sign it’s all right, tomorrow morning I would be free from

“What do you mean Mia?”
“You will know it soon.”

But now, I simply turn off my phone screen and get back to work. Even after the conversation, Xavier texted me
continuously, but I ignored every message. His tone shifted from pleading to desperation as he threatened me that he would die without me,
[Xavier: Mia, if the baby’s gone, we can try again. Just forgive me this once.]
[Xavier: We can have another child Mia, it does not matters if it’s a son or a daughter as long as it is your child.]
[Xavier: It was just one mistake; I’ll really change this time honey.]
[Xavier:I can’t live without you. Please.]
[Mia: But you taught me how to live
without you, have a good life Xavier. Don’t contact you anymore.]
