Chapter 22

Jordyn's p.o.v

2 weeks later

"Do you seriously have to eat so damn loud?!"

"Why don't you shut your face?!"

"My face isn't talking my mouth is idiot!"

"let me punch your damn face and I'll show you whose an idiot-"

"Guys" Emma sighed in annoyance looking at Xavier eating. I sat in between Xavier and Ian as they argued, "honestly what's your problem with each other?" She asked shaking her head frowning.

"He started it" Xavier muttered shoving chips in his mouth.

"Well you can finish it. Now shut up. Both of you" she said making me grin.

Someone is getting out of her shell more.

Xavier grumbled eating his food burping loudly, "you're a real pig" Ian said "says someone who didn't shower for a full month"

"Oh go fuck your self. I bet you can't do that-"

"Yes I can"

"You're a little sissy! You can't last a week out there on your own with nothing around you" Ian said

I leaned back slamming my book shut and they looked at me. "SHUT UP!" I yelled, "he started it-"

"Enough of that, what are you 5?" I said standing up and Xavier snorted eating. I snatched the bag away from him walking away "that was rude!" Xavier said wide eyed.

"You can't take a man's food!" Ian said and I rolled my eyes. "Honestly you guys make no freaking sense. You argue for hours then you guys act like your friends-"

"Life makes no sense babe. Get over it" he said and she hit his chest hard making him hiss "OW!" He yelled and she smiled.

I chuckled walking inside going to the kitchen and looked at Daddy making a giant sandwich smiling to himself.

"What the hell is that?" I said wide eyed, "a piece of heaven" he grinned and I crinkled my nose in disgust "that's all meat. Way too much meat" I said and he scoffed. "There's no such thing as too much meat Cookie Monster" he said rubbing his hands together grinning.

I sat on the stool watching him try to take a bite, "what is in there?" I asked. "Well there's bacon, steak, sausage, some left over ribs, pork loin-"

"Ugh. That's too much!"

"I'm not done! There's more" he said and I covered my ears not wanting to hear anymore. "That's a heart attack in one bite" I said and he grinned, "Oh! What's that?!" Xavier said walking in wide eyed looking at the sandwich.

"A piece of heaven"

"It's beautiful" Xavier whispered and I rolled my eyes, "there's extra-"

"Yes! I want one" Xavier said running to the counter, "you guys are pigs. Like all that meat together is nasty" I said and Xavier gasped dramatically. "How dare you" he whispered. I chuckled shaking my head as Ian walked back in.

He sat next to me sighing and stole a strip of bacon. "Would you eat that?" I asked pointing to Daddy's sandwich, "what the hell is that?" He said wide eyed.

"As I've been saying. A piece of heaven" Dad said with his mouth full. "It's all kinds of meat" Xavier said excitedly, "maybe half of that but not all of it" Ian said and I shivered in disgust.

I looked up as Emma walked in going behind Xavier kissing his cheek. "Oh god, what is that?" She said and he grinned at her wiggling his eyebrows.

"Ew" she giggled and he kissed her smiling, I looked down biting my lip thinking about Mason.

What has he been doing?

How is he?

Is he happy that I'm gone?

He he sad? Mad?

"Jordyn, can I talk to you?" I heard and looked up at Alpha Derek. I got off the stool walking to him as he went in his office, I walked in sitting on the chair cross legged. "What's up buttercup?" I asked and he glared at me making me giggle.

"It's about the Shadow pack" he said and I tensed "are they okay? What happened?" I said feeling a rise of panic in me. "No they're okay. Don't worry. I was just thinking lately about how Hopkins got a hold of you" he said sitting on his desk.

"He came out of nowhere" I said and he shook his head "there were no signs of struggle, no break ins. There was no evidence of anything wrong" he said and I just looked at him.

"So... What do you think?"

"Maybe someone in the pack is working for them. There's a mole. They knew he was coming so they let him in" he said and I frowned "who would do that?" I mumbled

"It has to be someone people know or trust. I can't think of anyone. Can you?" He asked:

"The only person that comes to mind is Lydia but she was practically banished from the pack after the wolfsbane incident. Mason went crazy on her almost killing her" I said shrugging. "Maybe she's the one. She didn't like you"

"She did want Mason for herself" I mumbled looking down thinking about them actually in bed with each other.

I ran my fingers through my hair shaking my head, "I talked to Mason and-"

"You spoke to him?" I said looking at him and he nodded. "When?"

"I just got off the phone with him" he frowned and I bit my lip. "You haven't spoken to him?" He asked, "he never wants to talk to me... Or even answer his phone" I said looking down sadly. Sarafina whimpered laying down and I blinked back tears.

"Why don't you go upstairs and take a nap?" He asked softly "I'm fine. I don't need a nap"

"You're still stressed" he said and I snorted "I'll always be stressed" I said making him sigh. "So. What are we going to do about the mole?" I asked sitting up.

"Well I'm going to talk with Mason. Me and him are going to work on it. I just wanted to let you know about what's going on since you are Luna" he said and I nodded. "Thanks" I muttered And he nodded, "is there anything I can do? Like to help you guys?" I asked

"Not that I can think of right now" he said and I sighed nodding standing up. I kissed his cheek and he kissed my temple "go relax" he said and I rolled my eyes walking out.

I closed the door behind me biting my lip thinking about Mason. I looked up into the kitchen seeing my friends and family laughing and talking together.... Just looking happy.

Xavier looked up at me eating and I smiled softly at him going upstairs to my room. I walked in closing the door behind me and walked to my bed laying down.

I stared out my window feeling completely drained and depressed. Mason was ignoring me. He probably hates me for leaving. My mothers murderer is coming after me and I don't know what to do.

I feel so helpless and alone...

I heard the door creek open and someone walked in closing the door behind them. I looked seeing Xavier standing there, he walked to the bed climbing on it and laid next to me.

"What's wrong?" He asked moving my hair, "nothing. Just tired" I whispered. "You're not tired. You're depressed... Is it because you're away from Mason?" He asked and I just laid there.

"Talk to me" he whispered holding my hand intertwining our fingers. I closed my eyes feeling a rush of emotions, I put my face in the pillow crying just feeling like something busted inside of me letting all these emotions rush out.

He pulled me to him and I sobbed in his shirt. "Shh. Just let it out baby" he whispered hugging me. "I don't know what to do anymore" I sobbed making him sigh.

"You don't have to do anything alone. You have help-"

"That doesn't help. It just makes me feel more scared that someone is going to get hurt. I'm always so afraid all the time" I cried, he wiped my tears away holding me and I held his shirt in my fists crying.

"It's okay to be scared. Everything that's going on is terrifying. I can't imagine how you feel" he whispered and I put my face in his neck.

"He won't hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt you" he said kissing my head. I closed my eyes hugging him and he rubbed my back.

"Mason hates me" I whispered making him look at me. "He's ignoring me... It's my fault-"

"Don't say that"

"It's always my fault. I shouldn't have left that day. He was right to call me an idiot. Then I leave him again and now he wants nothing to do with me. And... And I miss him so much" I whispered with tears rolling down my cheeks.

"He doesn't hate you Jordyn" he said and I sniffled nodding my head "he does-"

"No. He doesn't. I've seen the way he looks at you and he's seriously in love with you. He's just the type of person who doesn't know how to act out emotions. He only knows how to be a complete angry asshole" he said and I chuckled laying there.

"He doesn't hate you. I'm sure he's hurting just as much as you are" he said rubbing my back.

"Well that makes me feel better" I said sarcastically and he chuckled moving my hair wiping my tears away.

"You're stressing yourself out too much. You always do this" he sighed shaking his head and I put my head on his chest laying there.

"I missed you" I mumbled and he chuckled "I missed you too. But I'm here now... And I'll always be here for you" he said stroking my hair and I closed my eyes sniffling.

"Don't put your boogies on my shirt. I just bought this" he said and I chuckled. I wiped my nose on his shirt and he groaned loudly. "I knew you'd do that!" He said loudly making me giggle...

Next day ~

I sat at the table with Xavier eating my bacon, he ate his food quickly practically inhaling it and I rolled my eyes.

I felt a strong shiver down my spine and the sparks ignite. I froze and looked up hearing a car outside, I drank my orange juice sitting up as the door opened.

I smiled widely seeing Evan walk in looking around. I got off the stool running to him and hugged him tightly making him stumble.

"Jesus!" He chuckled hugging me, "Hi!" I smiled hugging him, "Hello" he chuckled kissing my head "what are you going here?" I asked pulling away.

"We have a meeting with Derek" he said

"We" I mumbled and looked at the door as it opened again. I inhaled sharply seeing Mason walk in, he looked at me freezing in his tracks. Evan pulled away clearing his throat and I bit my lip.

"Hi" I said and he nodded at me, I looked down as he walked past me going to the office. "He hasn't really spoken since you left" Evan mumbled quietly and I sighed.

"He's barely left the office" he said sighing, I looked at Mason as he knocked on the door and looked at the bags under his eyes. "How are you?" Evan asked, I looked at him feeling my eyes water.

"Just fine" I whispered, he sighed sadly and I bit my lip walking away wiping my tears away quickly.

They walked in Alpha's office and I sat next to Xavier whom was still eating. "You okay?" He asked quietly and I just sat there. "He does hate me" I whispered and he sighed kissing my temple. I wiped my tears away leaning on the table, he put his arm around me making me lean on him and I cried silently staring at the wall.

The door opened and Emma walked in, she looked at me frowning and walked to me "what's happened?" She asked quickly. "She's stressed. And when she's stressed she's very emotional" Xavier said.

She wiped my tears away and I smiled softly "I'm fine" I said sitting up. "Not you're not" Xavier snorted, "I am" I said clearing my throat eating my food.

They looked at each other and I sighed knowing they were talking in their mind link.

I stood up pushing my plate to Xavier making him look at me, "finish it"

"You barely ate" he frowned "not hungry. I'm going to be in my room" I said "Jordyn" Emma sighed "I'm tired" I chuckled walking away. I passed the office inhaling Mason's scent and sighed walking upstairs...

***

I sat on the floor in my room going through the trunk that was full of my Mom's belongings. Ian was laying on the floor looking at some of the stuff with me, "this is her?" He asked looking at the picture of Mom, me and Xavier.

"Yup"

"You look exactly like her" he said and I chuckled sitting on my knees, I smiled taking out one of her cardigans and put it on hugging it around me. Ian chuckled looking at the other pictures and I gasped smiling.

"This is her wedding dress" I said taking it out looking at the white long sleeved dress, I traced my fingers over the silk smiling softly and he looked in the trunk sitting up.

"Look at this huge hat" he snorted taking out the sun hat, "it looks like a sombrero" he said and I giggled. He put it on me and I smiled crinkling my nose fixing it, "it's so huge on you" he laughed clapping his hands.

"I feel beautiful" I said in an English accent. "Oh why of course you are" he said making me giggle. "I wonder where she wore this at" I said looking in the mirror.

I looked up and froze as the door was open and Mason was standing there staring at me. I turned around looking at the door and Ian followed my gaze.

"Oh. That's my que to leave" he mumbled standing up and walked out quickly. I sighed taking off the hat and sat there biting my lip.

"You just going to stand there all day or say something?" I mumbled. "Don't start with your smart mouth" he muttered making me clench my jaw.

He walked to my bed sitting down sighing and I put the wedding dress back in the trunk. I sighed sitting on the floor with my back to him feeling his eyes burning holes into my back.

"How much longer are you going to avoid me?"

"You're the one avoiding me" I mumbled "oh really? I'm not the one who left for 2 damn weeks!" he said and I sighed looking down.

I turned around facing him meeting his eyes and he sighed running his fingers through his hair. "Do you even want me there anymore?" I asked and he frowned "of course I do. That's a stupid question" he said

"I've been trying to talk to you for days but you've been ignoring me every time" i said and he frowned. "You haven't called me at all-"

"Yes I have. I even asked Anna and she said you barely leave the office to call me back or even speak to anyone... She said you got angry whenever someone mentioned me. Evan said the same thing. It's like you didn't want anything to do with me... That's why I never came back... It hurts when you ignore me" I whispered hugging my legs and he just frowned looking down at his hands.

"I never ignored you. You're the one ignoring me" he said and I looked at him frowning "I've been calling you for days Mason! Ask Evan and Anna-"

"No you haven't-"

"How are you telling me what I've been doing?!" I snapped "calm down!" He growled and I put my head on my knees biting my lip to keep from crying.

He sighed wiping his face, "come here" he whispered and I just looked at him. He held his hand out and I bit my lip standing up quickly practically running to him.

He pulled me on his lap and I wrapped my arms around his neck shutting my eyes tightly from the tingles.

"I'm sorry" I whispered with tears in my eyes. He wiped my tears away putting his forehead on mine, "it's my fault I shouldn't have called you names-"

"I shouldn't have left. You were right it was stupid of me-"

"Stop talking" he said moving my hair, I sighed putting my forehead on his inhaling his scent. I cupped his face kissing him shutting my eyes tightly and he pulled me closer kissing back.

I pulled away hugging him crying softly and he kissed my shoulder rubbing my back.

The door opened "Jordyn I got you pizza-oh... I'll come back" Xavier mumbled seeing us holding a cup and a plate in his hand. I sniffled looking at him and he looked at me worriedly, "I'm fine" I said and he nodded walking out closing the door.

I looked at Mason as he stared at the floor holding me, "you reek of him" he muttered. I slightly smiled putting my head on his shoulder.

"I missed you" I whispered running my fingers through his hair. He sighed closing his eyes putting his face in my neck. "Come home" he whispered kissing my shoulder...
