XAVIAAxel kept staring at me and I wondered why."Axel? Axel? Are you ok? Axel?" I flicked my fingers across his face and he blinked. "Are you ok? You seem lost in thought"He nodded slightly. "I am fine""You look worried. Is something...""There is nothing. Don't worry about me""I..."He smiled. "Come," he said holding my second hand. "I saw your text late""It's nothing. Your mom said she wants to see me when I get back. I thought I should let you know"He smiled. "How is school today?""It was fine. A little stress though". He stared at me again and I blinked. "Are you sure you are ok?"He nodded. "I am. I just missed you"I chuckled. "You saw me this morning and we spoke on the phone some hours ago""I know but I just suddenly began to miss you. And I feel like hugging you too". He made me sit on his lap and he back hugged me. "Can we remain like this for a while"I smiled. "Do you miss me that much?""I do. I miss you so much"I smiled. "Then you can hug me as much as you want
I stared at her. "Your mom must have told you not to get angry. She must have taught you to withhold and control your anger, which is the reason why you haven't noticed it. She did a good job helping you control your anger"I groaned. "I do not understand you""I will make you understand," the other woman said and I stared at her."Your mother, may her soul rest in peace...""You know that my mother is dead?"She nodded. "Yes, we do"I sighed. I wished my mom was here. It would be easy for me to understand what is going on here."Who told you about my mother's death?"She sighed. "We received an auspicious sign in the sky the day she died and she appeared to your father and asked him to find you. Your dad sent us out to find you and we have been on the quest since then""Do you know how long it has been since my mother died?""Six years" she muttered."It took you five years. Six good years to find me and you expect me to believe you?""We are sorry. We tried our best but your mother
"You know about it. How? How did you find out? I mean..."She smiled. "I heard everything they said to you and how you replied to them. I wasn't eavesdropping. I was just opportune to be close by". I sighed. "Xavia" she cooed. "I am not asking you to go to the Spirit clan so that you can forgive him. You might need time to do that. I am asking you to go so that you can have a good reason to be angry with him"I laughed. "Alaila"She smiled. "You do not expect me to tell you to forgive him. That man left you for a long time""Thank you" I muttered. "Thank you for not telling me to forgive him"She smiled. "Xavia, I know you've passed through a lot and you do have a lot of regrets. I do not want you to have regrets about your father. He might not have cared for you but he is still your father. Xavia, he might not have much time left, which may be the reason he sent people to look for you. They have been on the search for six years. Isn't that enough to earn them a one-time visit?"I nod
I looked around in surprise. We were standing in front of empty lands. I looked around and all I could see were empty lands.I blinked. What is going on here? Were we not standing in front of Axel's house some minutes ago?"You are joking right?""She is not" Mira answered. "This is the Spirit clan""What are you saying? These are empty...". I blinked. The once-empty lands were now filled with houses and people walking about. "Wh-what just happened?""The Spirit clan always stays hidden and is only seen if the person who visited is a Spirt being or a person with no bad intentions""Is that the reason I saw empty lands at first?"Elora nodded. "Yes""Elora, we will get going," Mira said.She left with the man Axel introduced to me as Ryan. Elora faced me."Come with me. Let me take you to the Palace"I pulled Alaila was had not said anything since we arrived."Are you coming with us or do you want to keep staring"She chuckled. "I think the Spirit clan is beautiful""Do you want to sta
GILBERTThere was a general meeting in the Lycan Pack and I was to attend it with Arden. This was going to be the first meeting I would be attending in a long while and I wasn't looking forward to it. I had not expected my mother to send Arden to me to prepare to attend the meeting. When she found out about me rejecting Xavia, she was furious and she asked me to apologize to the Pack members and step down for a while but I refused. There was no way I would apologize to the Pack members for rejecting my mate. Was she, not the one who asked for the rejection? I insisted that I had no reason to apologize and that got her angry. I did not expect that she would apologize to the Pack members on my behalf and tell them I agreed to step down until I felt remorseful.Would I ever be remorseful? That was my first thought. I had done nothing to be remorseful for.My mom commanded the guards not to allow me to leave my room but she knew that they would not be able to hold me back so she visited h
I never thought that I was going to like Xavia, after all the things we experienced together but ever since I came back from the meeting in the Lycan Pack and set my eyes on Xavia, I could not stop thinking about her. At first, I thought it was because she was now the Spirit Princess but I soon realized that I liked her. It was never supposed to happen. I was never supposed to like someone I rejected some months ago, but right now that is what is happening.I was to meet up with the spy today. To avoid anyone being suspicious, I asked that he meet me in the garden. I sat in the garden waiting for him and when he finally showed up, I stood up."Hope you have enough information for me," I said and he nodded.I have been curious to know how she got to the Lycan Pack. I could remember that Arden had told me she said she was never going to return to the Lycan Pack and for some reason, I suspected that she had a bad experience there, which I presumed to be worse than the one she experienced
AXELJason told me that the Ice Pack Alpha would be coming later with his Beta to the company and I asked Xavia to stay back in the Packhouse after she closed from school. I do not want her to meet with him and remember her experience with him, which is why I do not want her to come to the company. I can still remember how she stared at him in fear when she saw him."Why do you not want me to come to the company?" she asked."I want you to get some rest" I replied."But I have a lot of work to do at the company""I will ask Jason to help you do them""I do not want Jason to help me. I want to..."I held her hand. "Xavia, I know how school has been these days. You are also preparing for your exams. Adding the company's work will only make you become stressed out. You need as much rest as you can get now ""Can I at least go today? I can stop going to the company tomorrow""Hey, babe. I want you to rest until you are done with exams""That's too far. I...""How about you take this week
She stared at me. "I am not asking you not to worry now". She placed her hand on my face and smiled. "But I want to know why you are worried". I stared at her but said nothing. "Come on, tell me why you are worried," she said and I sighed."I am worried that you will choose him over me"She stared at me. "Yo-you are joking right?""I am not" I replied. "I have tried not to think about it but I can't help it""Why would you think of such? Do you think I am going to leave you for Gilbert?" she asked and I sighed. "Do you not trust me?""I trust you" I muttered. "But I do not trust the mate bond""What do you mean?""He is your mate...""Was my mate" she corrected. "He rejected me, remember?"I sighed. "I know he rejected you but what...""Axel, can you stop worrying about nothing?"I held her hand. "I have every reason to be worried. He is your mate and you belong to him too""I do not belong to him. I already told you that he rejected me""I know he did. But what if he changes his mind
