Her Second Chance novel Chapter 7

OCTOBER 7, 2019.

It was already six years since Claude celebrated her 18th birthday, and officially came of age. Six years since she was announced as Xavier's mate, and they formally mated. And six years since an enemy had been brewing her evil plans. Dianne.

Dianne had always had a crush on Xavier and always dreamt of becoming his. She made it noticeable in her actions, but it was either he didn't notice, or he didn't care. Her pride had been wounded, and the last needle that stabbed the horse's eyes was when he announced that both he and Claude were mates.

To her, that were both betrayers, and she had vowed to get at the person whom she believed snatched her handsome Xavier from her clutches; Claude. Although they were friends, she was hurt that Claude didn't care about her happiness, and had gone over to snatch her crush. And that wasn't all, the were mates!!

Six years ago, she had also become 18 years old, and she also expected her party too. But unfortunately, she had been told she couldn't get one, as she was the Omega's daughter. She had cried bitterly, and the tempo had increased when she found out that her own friend was getting a party.

Heartbroken, she had resigned to faith. However, she nursed the faint hope that she might become Xavier's mate. Her final hope had shattered when he cruelly announced the news of them being mates.

Her door opened, distracting her thoughts. She lifted her head, and fixed her gaze at the door. A smiling Claude walked in. "Hey girlfriend. Aren't you bored just sitting here? What about taking a stroll? Maybe catch some fresh air." Claude said, and plopped down on the bed beside her.

"I would love to. What about Xavier?" Claude asked, craning her head a little.

"Oh, he wouldn't be coming over today. He would come by later though." Claude smiled.

"Oh, I see. Umm, Claude?" Dianne called out. A thought had suddenly occured to her, and she smiled inwardly.

"Yes sweetheart." Claude responded, and waited for her to continue.

"Like she cares." Dianne sneered, making sure to put the mind link bane, to prevent Claude from listening to her thoughts.

"Do you remember the guy we met at the shopping mall, few days back? The human guy?" Dianne asked clasping her hands over each other.

Claude scrunched up her brows, she thought of her friend's words. She suddenly let out a sigh.

"Of course, I remember him. What was his name again? Jace, right?" Claude asked.

"Yes. Jace. He called me few hours ago. He says he wants to meet me." Dianne lied.

"Really?!" Claude jumped excitedly. She had been disgusted by the way the guy had kept pestering her at the mall, asking for her number. She finally figured that he was after Dianne all along. Deep down her heart, she was always wishing her friend could get her own mate, human or not.

Dianne was happy at her reaction. In truth, Jace hadn't called her. However, she had his number, and could call him. She had noticed the way he had looked at Claude. She knew he liked her, and she could make use of him to sabotage the relationship between Claude and Xavier.
