Chapter 49

Jasper's pov :
After the duel, the multiple bites on my body and the great frustration left me lying on the ground unable to move.
These physical wounds were nothing, more bloodshed and wounds that would heal one day as long as I lived, but the misfortune of my soul this night was too incurable and too swift.
My mind briefly flashed back to the two surgeries I had confidently performed earlier, why would Lsabella wake up just as I was opening up for her?
But the reality before me came not to make me think about anything else.
I had to learn the fatal truth that Lsabella was also in love with Xavier.
Lsabella used Olivia as a threat to break our mate relationship.
"No way!"
I would never agree to this, even if the two-month deadline was up. I loved Lsabella, I had already confessed my love to her, wasn't that enough to do?
I want more? I simply want Lsabella to have a change of heart.
I sheltered Lsabella's pack for two months, and I showed her things she could never have encountered in that small pack. lsabella went with me to conquer the Purple Moon Pack rogues, and I gave her a chance to shine in front of the other Alpha.
And the moonstone, I promised her this greedy request and then brought it back without talking to the other Alpha just to set it in Lsabella's crown.
Is all that I did not enough?
I really don't understand why I, as the Alpha of the strongest group on the East Continent, would be rejected. My condition is so excellent, which is not better than that Beta?
Besides, isn't that what Lsabella wants? Compared to Xavier's inferior status, I have the entire Blue Moon Pack behind me.
Power, wealth, and power are things that only I have the ability to give to Lsabella if she asks me.
Then why did she reject me?
But perhaps the Moon Goddess was holding a grudge against me, and she gave me the most fatal blow this night.
It turns out that I was also only a brief beneficiary of the false MATE, and after giving me this beautiful dream, the Moon Goddess easily shattered it after only two months, and no one even cared if I could take it all in.
Xavier must have been hiding his strength, I would not have underestimated him so much when I dueled him just now, even if I would have been gullible.
Xavier's ability is much stronger than when I rounded up the rogues, my heart fell into a deep resignation, why after all these years he still has to be stronger than me, after I finally stood in my current position through difficulties, my missing brother suddenly came back, he still wants to be like a child, I simply have no way to defeat him, he also took my Luna in front of me.
"No!" I actually staggered to my feet, and I pushed away Declan's hand that reached over to support me.
"You can't leave here, Lsabella! You can't leave me without my permission! You're not leaving me!"
I was so emotional that the last few sounds almost descended from a roar to a plea, this was the first time I had ever begged in front of my men, I had lowered myself, so why wouldn't Lsabella even turn around.
"Lsabella! Lsabella! Lsabella!"
I yelled like a madman, I wanted to jump over and hug my Lsabella, but my men held me back, my wound must have split open, the pain was flowing blood aggravated my painful perception of Lsabella's back.
But all of this could not bring back Lsabella.
I fainted, and the last image in my memory was of Lsabella taking Xavier's arm, and she left with such determination that she would only leave me with a blurred image of her back.
Lsabella's pov :
We sat in the back of the car, Xavier holding my hand tightly, I could feel his hot, wet palm, and he was not free from the intense events of the night.
We sat in silence at a distance where we could feel each other's presence.
I was still in a blank state of mind, though my sanity was returning little by little, but so many shocking things had happened tonight.
Xavier was actually my MATE, I had a flash of thought that I had suffered a false MATE incident myself, but my focus at the time was mainly on my false MATE relationship with Jasper, and I hadn't seriously envisioned how I should face Xavier if he really was my MATE.
The thought of such a thing made my face burn a little.
I hadn't thought about so many things when I was intimate with Xavier before, and those intimate contacts that followed my heart instead made me shy now, and now my heart was beating fast just from being held by his hand.
I stole another glance at Xavier, at this angle I could only see the side of his face, saw his beautiful eyes, high nose, smooth jaw line, his lips pursed into a line, as if he was thinking about something important.
I know he likes me and has stuck by my side because of such beliefs.
Suddenly Xavier tugged on my hand and I inclined my head to look at him, "What is it..."
Before I could react, Xavier's huge figure pressed up against me, both of his arms wrapped around my waist and his head resting on my shoulder.
Without reacting or finding support, I slumped into the back seat of the car with his weight.
Xavier wasn't fully on top of me, his arms were supported on either side, but I tried to push him away for fear of touching his wounds.
"Xavier?"
Xavier leaned his head into the nape of my neck and muttered in my ear with thick aggravation, "It hurts."
It was Xavier's usual pouting trick, but he managed to pull it off this time.
I rubbed his head and gently patted his back again, but my heart still ached: "Who told you to punch so hard..."
My tone was not harsh at all, only some small complaints, although we will inevitably be in a dangerous situation for the community, but I was still very scared, in case Xavier lost what to do? What if I dragged him off the cliff, would we stand a chance of surviving?
Xavier will always risk his life for me, and I will always be bothered by these things, even if he is my MATE, I hope he can always live safely.
I hope that if one day I contribute my life to Blood Moon Pack, he will still be able to live, to become the new Alpha of Blood Moon Pack, to have a family and children...
Wait, I had fallen into a daze in Xavier's warm embrace, but my haphazard vision of future possibilities brought me instantly awake.
There was no way I could imagine Xavier married to another woman and having children, I couldn't even imagine him standing with another woman, and an emotion called jealousy that wasn't supposed to belong to me spread through my heart.
Damn, why would I be jealous of someone else? I'm obviously the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack, I just found my true MATE, and I've re-found my pack to find an important treasure that was lost ten years ago, and Xavier is in my arms, so why should I be jealous of that woman who doesn't even exist.
After reacting to the whole process of my abnormality, I was suddenly freed from the whole emotion again and I smiled, relief and pleasure taking over my whole mood again.
That's probably the complexity of love, I have these narrow-minded moments too.
My emotions went up and down like a roller coaster, and my hand that rhythmically slapped Xavier's back unconsciously increased its force.
Xavier held back for a moment, but then relented and braced his upper body, looking down at my face.
"Are you mad at me again? We're all in a MATE relationship, won't you talk to me about it?"
Xavier's face was still close to mine, and even because I hadn't just looked him straight in the face, I was only now belatedly shying away from our position, and before I realized exactly what his words were referring to, my face flushed first.
"...I'm not mad at you."
"That means you like me."
My eyes widened, trying to get a closer look at the unreasonable man in front of me.
Xavier was smiling very happily, and the corners of his eyes were curved like two small crescents.
"Mr. Xavier!"
"I am."
"Your ability to understand worries me."
Xavier curbed his smile as he cupped my chin with his free hand and forced me to look at him, "There's more to worry about, Lsabella."
Xavier's kiss fell, soft delicate kisses landing on my lips like he was gently kissing the most precious treasure in the world.
I lifted my chin slightly and allowed his intimate gesture. I couldn't help him envision a future without me, so I had to let his future be all about me.
Xavier raised his head and I could see my entire reflection in his eyes.
Xavier looked at me solemnly: "Maybe this occasion is not formal enough, but I still want to tell you now. lsabella, I will always be your mate and Beta, I swear to be by your side for the rest of my life, never leave you, betray you, if I have broken my promise afterwards, let the moon goddess punish me. "
My heart abounded with tenderness, lifting my hand to gently stroke Xavier's broken hair stuck to his forehead: "Then the rest of my life also remains please you."
