His Deplorable Mate by Palos Verdes (best books for 8th graders .txt) 📗

Xavier's Age- 8 years old. 

Xavier was munching on dry bread. He was in his room which is the dark basement. Dina entered the basement and rooted on the spot. She gazed at the broken boy. His eyes were dull, lifeless. There was no innocence and gentleness in him. They have succeeded in breaking him. She wiped her tears away and slowly started walking near him.

She sat near him and ran her fingers in his hair. Xavier stopped for a second, but then started eating again. Dina sat there silently, waiting for him to finish his food.

Xavier finished his food and sat silently. Dina took his hands in hers. Her heart broke seeing the bruises and cuts on his palms. She kissed them gently and look into his eyes. She didn't say the same innocent soul, he was once. This one is emotionless.

"You my child is a blessing. You have a heart of gold. Don't let the darkness of this world take your kindness and light," Dina whispered. Xavier didn't say anything. Dina sighed.

"Look, who came to meet you," Dina said excitedly. She took out a small puppy from her behind and sat the puppy in Xavier's lap. The puppy licked Xavier's hand and snuggled into him. Xavier's eyes sparkled seeing him. Dina smiled seeing the glint in his eyes. Xavier still has his humanity and kindness. She will make sure to keep it this way. He has already suffered enough.

After that day, Xavier and the puppy became inseparable. There was always a bright smile on his face, whenever they both were together.

One day, Xavier came home and didn't find the puppy. He checked the whole pack house, the training ground, but he was nowhere. He felt an unreadable fear in his heart. He searched everywhere but he was nowhere. After a week, he found him dead in the back of the pack house. He cried and cried. He was exhausted mentally and physically. Dina shuddered when she saw the evil smirks on Alpha Melvin and Luna Phyllis's faces.
