Destiny

Chapter 2

Lillie’s POV

He is so infuriating. I know I am almost 3 years younger than him, but I know what I want. I don’t need him to leave me for a year. How would he feel if I left him for a year?

Him telling me he was leaving felt like I was being rejected. Was I not enough for him to stay?

I understand wanting to meet his Mom’s family but if he just waited we could go together. But he must not want me to go.

I must not be enough for him. I knew I was only 14 and my body didn’t look like the girls in the senior class, but I was hopeful it would.

Let’s be honest, he was perfect and he didn’t look like a boy but a man. His blonde hair had gotten darker and he kept it short, but when it grew out just a little, you could see his curls that I love.

He still had the most amazing dark blue eyes and sharp features. He stood over 6 foot 4 and his body was a direct reflection of the hours he trained with the pack to be the future beta.

Maybe he just wanted to be with actual women and going to visit his family would make sense. Why else would he want to leave now? Why can’t he just wait till I can go with him?

The tears wouldn’t stop. I lay in bed thinking about what was wrong with me. How could I change to keep him here. I would do almost anything for him to stay. I love him so much it hurts.

For hours these thoughts kept running through my head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I must have eventually fallen asleep but when I woke up I could feel my eyes were swollen and itchy.

It took all of my energy to get out of bed. I slowly made my way to the bathroom and got into a hot shower.

I didn’t think I had any more tears but they continued to fall from my face. No matter how hard I tried, they just kept falling from my face.

I stayed in the shower till the water ran cold. Finally, I pulled myself out of the shower and stood looking at my reflection. I looked terrible. My eyes were puffy and blood shot and my entire face was red.

I decided I wasn’t leaving my room today. I had no appetite and I just had no desire to deal with anything.

I braided my hair and pulled on a t-shirt and leggings and got back in bed.

****Mink Link****

“Mom…. I’m not going to class today. I didn’t really sleep and I don’t feel good.”

“Oh honey, I think you should try.”

“No, I will tomorrow, but not today….It’s not like I have missed school this year and we only have 2 days left and we don’t do anything on the last days of school.”

“Fine honey, get some rest. I will let the boys know.”

*************************************

I looked at my phone and had 6 missed calls from Chase. I powered off my phone and blocked my mind link and allowed sleep to take over.

Chase’s POV

As soon as Luna Jaclyn told us Lillie wasn’t coming to class today, my heart broke. I knew it was because of me.

I tried to call her again and mind link her but she has closed me out. I tried to go to her room but Kingston stopped me. I figured her twin would know better than me.

“I need to talk to her.”

“You will but let her have the morning. I know my sister and she needs to process you leaving.”

“Fine, but I don’t like it.”

“Well, get used to not talking to her because in less than 2 weeks you are leaving and you won’t be able to talk to her every day.” Kingston said, a little irritated.

“Are you pissed about it too?”

“I mean I get why you need to go see your Great Grandparents. I think you should explain that part to Lillie. I agree you should leave and let her find herself because we all know she doesn’t have a single option that isn’t affected by you.”

“Yeah, I know, but she would still ask me to wait till after I turn 18 and I know I am her mate and, well, I want to be able to not have the pull to come back while I spend some time with my Great Grandparents.”

“Yeah, I guess that sounds selfish, so I wouldn’t tell her either, I guess.”

He was right. A part of me was being selfish. I wanted to live a little before I came home and was with my mate. I had spent my entire life with her and I loved her and would never want another, but I wanted to be just me.

Lillian’s POV

My mom brought me breakfast and lunch but I just wasn’t hungry. How could I eat when my world was falling apart?

I know I’m only 14 but he has been a part of my life since I was born and is supposed to be my mate and be with me forever.

Breaking me out of my self wallowing was a knock at my door. It was dinner time, so I assumed it had to be my mom.

“Come in.”

As soon as the door opened, my eyes landed on Chase and I rolled to my side away from him.

“Lillian, I know you haven’t eaten today, so I brought you dinner and thought we could talk. I hate seeing you like this.

“But you did this to me.”

“I know and we really need to talk this out, OK?”

“Whatever.”

I felt the bed dip as he sat down and in a blink his arms were around me. It was almost like instant relief flooded through my body.

Does he not feel how perfect we are together?
