Lexi's POV

Today makes it three days since we arrived at the real world. Mason has still been tutoring me since our examinations will be coming up soon. And tonight, I will be meeting with Mason's parents. I didn't want to think of them as the Alpha and Luna. I will just be meeting my mate's parents. I calmed my nerves with that thought. My phone suddenly rang and I smiled without looking at it, I knew it was Mason because his ringtone was different.

"Hey babe," he said. I smiled till my cheeks hurt. I could never get tired of hearing him say that.

"Hey," I muttered.

"What are you doing?" he asked curiously.

"Nothing serious. I'm just lying in bed. What about you?" I inquired.

"I can't say the same for me. I've been busy all day," he replied.

"Really? What have you been busy with?" I asked in a serious tone.

"I've been busy thinking about you," he replied. I paused in disbelief. He sounded so serious that I was beginning to think he was overworking himself but that's what he had to say?

"You made it sound so serious that I was actually scared for a minute," I whined.

"But it is serious. I miss you," he replied and my heart skipped a beat. I rolled over on the bed and clutched the pillow tightly in my arms resisting the urge to scream out of excitement. He had a way of making me feel giddy. "But you saw me yesterday," I responded.

"It's been twenty-four hours since then. I need to see you again. Are you ready?" he asked.

"I'm not but I will be in a few minute's time," I answered.

"Are you feeling nervous?" he asked.

My eyes widened in surprise. I had tried my best to hide it. How could he tell? "You could tell?"

"You did a good job in hiding it but I'm good at reading people. I could tell something was wrong with you," he replied.

I sighed. "What if something goes wrong or I make a mistake? Or what if your parents don't like me? What if they think I'm not good enough for you..."

"Stop thinking so hard about all the what-ifs and take a deep breath. Nothing will go wrong and if you don't want to meet them now, you don't have to force yourself to do so..."

"Of course, I have to meet them. They personally told you to invite me over and if I don't comply, what will they think of me?" I asked.

"I will be right there and I won't let you feel any discomfort whatsoever. Mum, Mady, and Vivian will also be right there to support you," he assured me. I forced a smile. He had absolutely no idea what was bothering me. I was worried about an entirely different thing and I wanted to inform him about it before he found out from someone else or his parents told him about it. They might run a background check on me given his status. I wanted to come clean so bad but I just couldn't no matter how hard I tried.

"I have some work I'm tending to so I will send the driver to pick you up. I love you and see you soon," he said before hanging up. I dropped the phone with a heavy heart and went to get dressed. After getting dressed, I walked out of my room and headed downstairs. I met Mum and Dad sitting on the couch with solemn expressions on their faces. I frowned wondering what was going on.

"Mum? Dad? Is everything okay?" I asked skeptically.

"Have a seat. We want to talk to you," Dad replied, gesturing towards the seat in front of them. They looked so serious. I've never seen them in such a mood before. I reluctantly took a seat feeling uneasy.

"When I met you for the first time after you recovered from the accident, I was very happy even though you never spoke a word to me. But after some time, nobody came to the hospital to identify themselves as your family. I saw that as a blessing in disguise because we had been trying to have a child for fifteen years but all efforts proved futile. To me, you were sent to us by the moon goddess," she explained.

"What is going on? Why are you speaking like that?" I asked anxiously. They were beginning to scare me. Mum glanced at dad and brought out an envelope and placed it on the table. I stared at them but they didn't speak. I knew something was terribly wrong so I picked up the envelope and opened it. To my shock, it was a flier with my picture on it. Nick was right. Someone was indeed trying to find me.

"I..can explain," I stuttered nervously. I didn't think they were going to find out this way but my lies had been caught up and I had no other choice but to tell them the whole truth about what happened that night.

A year and three months back

"You should leave," he ordered in an emotionless tone getting up from the bed beside me. But I didn't catch on quickly.

"It's not that late yet. Besides, I don't want to leave now. I still want to spend time with you," I replied softly.

"Can you leave already and stop being so clingy?" he asked, sounding disgusted. I stood up and placed my back on the wall in surprise.

"Why are you speaking to me like that? Are you stressed out from work again?" I asked in surprise. He had spoken to me in that tone countlessly but he always apologized and blamed it on his work or on alcohol. He never had any alcohol the previous day so what could be wrong this time? "Are you a fool? You really believed that the s**t I told you? Are you that dumb?" he asked angrily, picking up his clothes.

"What did I do wrong? Why are you getting mad at me all of a sudden?" I asked in disbelief. This wasn't new, it happened most of the time but this time, I was waiting for an apology to follow like always but it never did. I didn't know why but something about him that night made me feel uneasy.

"Are you that dumb to realize I lied all those times? Are you so desperate for attention that you don't notice it? I only put up with you because I wanted something but now that I'm fed up with you, I want you to get out of my house and never come back," he ordered coldly. "What?" I stuttered in shock.

"Didn't you hear me? I'm sick and tired of you. I'm disgusted by you so leave!" he growled. I grabbed my shirt and hurriedly put it on before getting up and walking towards him. Even though the spot between my thighs hurt because of how rough he had been, I struggled to make my way over to him. My body hurt terribly but I ignored it.

"Whatever's going on, let's talk about it. We don't have to argue..," I paused trying to touch him but he roughly grabbed my hand and pushed me away. I stared at him in shock and at that moment, I knew he wasn't the Nick I used to know. He had a cold and detached expression on his face.

"You are pathetic, it's no wonder no one in your family loves or wants you. I was only with you because I wanted to see how long it would take me to get in your pants since you proved to be so difficult at first but it barely took me two months," he said with a chuckle. I glanced at him sharply in shock.

"Why? Are you shocked? I must say, you were fun and enjoyable at first but I got bored. I don't find you exciting anymore," he continued. I couldn't believe my ears. Was this really Nick before me or was it someone else?

I stood up from the floor and walked towards him unwilling to believe him. "You are mistaken. You told me you love me and I believe you. This must be some sort of joke."

"Love? Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be? I never loved you and no one ever will. Let me let you in on a little secret, if any man says that to you, he only wants you for one thing. Your body and when he's done, he's going to abandon you. You are not worthy of love," he spat hatefully.

I shook my head, hot tears cascading down my cheeks. "This is all a lie, you are my mate. You promised you were going to stay with me forever. You said you would never leave me. Nick please, whatever I did wrong, I'm sorry. Is it because I refused to go home when you asked? I will leave if that makes you happy..." he roughly pushed me away.

"You cease to be my mate from today. I Nick Gregory rejects Lexi Jones as my mate. Pack your things and get the f**k out of my house," he cut me off furiously.
