Helenas POV..

The moment she felt his body against her back , she paused then quickly slipped away towards the fridge. By now her heart was racing and her breathing sounded shaky.

She had just opened the freezer when she felt his body directly behind her and she watched wide eyed as the fridge door slowly swung back shut, in front of her.

"Xander, I", she began to protest.

"Come", he said, holding the side of her arm and pulling her back to face him.

His body leaned forward, wrapping his arms around her then gently pulled her to him in a warm embrace. Her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck and she could feel her heels lifting from the ground till she stood on her toes as he brought her closer, plastering their bodies together.

His fingers caressed the side of her waist as he tightened his grip around her, burying his face at the nape of her neck.

What had she been panicking for?

    Xanders POV…He gave her a soft peck on her forehead before taking her lips, giving her a lingering kiss. Five years! That's how long he had waited for this. His heart felt nostalgic and he gently trailed a line on her back with his fingers before lightly squeezing her. Everything in him wanted to profess his love for her but he couldn't, at least not yet.He leaned in and gave her another peck on the dip of her nose before reluctantly separating himself from her. Her body was insatiable and he knew that if he remained next to her, it wouldn't be long before he wanted her again. Not that he minded having another round. After waking her up four times already to make love, he knew she was exhausted and needed her rest. Throughout the night, he had exercised the utmost restraint, being extra gentle with her, which was something he never had to do in their past. Savannah was very fiesty by nature and had she been present, she would have been a handful and he would have needed to keep

    Helena's POV…“Huh? What?" She could have sworn she heard him say Tithen. "Aw god Xander, you know Tithen??" .He gave her a murderous look, his chest heaving and she cowered back. "20 minutes! I'll be in the truck," he spoke rigidly before walking out.He knows Tithen! How ?? She always assumed that he didn't know so the thought of asking him never crossed her mind. She threw away the sheets then hurriedly slid from the bed. Her attention was caught by something blue on the floor but she brushed past it, grabbing her backpack and emptying its contents. She needed to repack everything for her stuff to fit in.Standing there stark naked, her eyes began to wander around the room, locating the scattered clothes on the floor and she raced, swiping them.Twenty minutes was too little for her to bath and be ready. There was no way she was going to meet with Tithen without bathing, especially after a night of steamy sex.After packing her bag, she ran over to the tub and poured lots of wa

    Xanders POV..'Just sex! Wow' That phrase had repeated itself in his mind so many times that he had grown sick of it. He didn't know which was worse, her betrayal for many years or a night of pouring his heart out and cherishing her, being reduced to nothing.This had to be the first time, in all of his existence, that anyone had ever said that to him and that wasn't exaggerating. They normally begged for more, did everything possible to remain relevant and when he withdrew, they became obsessive over him. Regardless, he didn't care about any of those women, they were his past and right now his future was at stake. Xander adjusted the rear view mirror so that he could watch her as she slept. Her body leaned against the door, her head tilted towards the window and her legs folded up on the seat.How could she hurt him so carelessly and toss him away like a filthy rug? Had he not been considerate and shown her tenderness? Every inch of his body wanted to punish her, to make her feel j

    Xander's POV..'How do I begin?' he asked in his mind. He knew exactly how he felt, that his world was unbearable at the moment but putting it into words was a whole different story. Griff crossed his arms expectantly, tilting his head to the side, jaw clenched giving him a hardened glare.Was it too late to change his mind? Griff was going to really enjoy this.. "Okay, uhm, what I'm about to say happened to a friend of mine", he lied. If he distanced himself from the situation then he wouldn't be placing himself in a vulnerable position. Especially with Griff. He knew that if he told the truth, Griff would find a way of blackmailing him with it."Xander, I'm your only friend", Griff corrected him"."That's not true", he defended himself, not wanting to give up on his story."Really? What are their names?"Griff asked, skepticism written all over his face" I met them in the human realm and notice how I said them. There's Joe, Emma and what's his name? Ah yes, Owen".Aw man, how had h

Had Xander been here, she'd have known about all this beforehand. "Tithen is the name of this world that we're in and the capital is called Venona. In case you still don't know, we're in the palace in Venona," Lexy explained. Helena blinked, giving Lexy a blank stare. Venona, palace what? Did she hear correctly or was there something seriously wrong with her ears."Tithen is not a person but a place?" she asked, her brows beginning to furrow and Lexy nodded.No, it can't be. How was that possible? "Are you sure coz the one that I'm searching for is a man and he's meant to help me??"" Yes, I'm pretty sure. I've never heard of anyone by that name."She looked around in confusion, her entire world crushing beneath her feet. She wanted to grab her notebook to double check on the note but she remem

Lexy hadn't told her how to find her."Are you looking for me?" Lexy's smooth voice came from right next to her and she jumped again."Lex, how do you keep doing that??""Doing what?""The way you just appear like that? Anyways I need to talk to you like asap!" She took hold of Lexy' s wrist and pulled her inside her room. Lexy was now dressed in a cute, just above the knee black flared dress and high heeled sandals."You need to get me to a pharmacy! Please, it's urgent!" Helena begged, feeling heat rushing to her face. It had been what? Just over 24 hours so she still had time."What's a pharmacy?"

She had spent the entire day searchIng for a pharmacy with zero success and was just about ready to abandon the search entirely.How could a pharmacy not exist in such a posh city? Did this mean that she had to accept the possibility of being pregnant?Lexy's phone began to ring and she answered through a mouthpiece that was attached to a headset. At first the conversation flew past Helena's ears but then she saw Lexy gasping, her eyes widening and her attention was captured."He's coming when? Now??? Okay i will sir. Thank you sir"."Is everything okay?" Helena asked after Lexy cut the phone."No, nothing's okay. Can you believe the prince is coming to inspect the second floor! He's never done that before!

Normally he would have never tolerated such disrespect but he was in a good mood today and nothing could ruin his day." What do you want?" He asked out of curiosity. Out of all people, why would Helena's ex pay him a visit? Had he teamed up with Roselyn to come and interrogate him?" You took Helena away from me for you to play with her??? I saw everything!" he accused Xander with a look of pure disgust.What he saw had been a case of mistaken identity but he wasn't about to explain himself, especially to his wife's ex."I don't see how any of this is your business", he answered casually.

Xander asked her and she lifted her head, placing her chin on her wrist."I don't know", she answered honestly. She couldn't erase Roselyn's shocked facial expression, the moment when Xander announced her name."Stop beating yourself up about it. It's something that couldn 't be avoided", he reassured her, stroking her back." I just wish I had done it differently. She didn't deserve to find out infront of so many people", she admitted." She knew that I had found someone else, she just didn't know it was you but I agree. We should have told her before making it public.""What's going to happen to her?"

    Helena's POV …Her heart beat loudly at the thought of what was about to come as they made their way to the hall. Not only was she about to betray her friend but she was going to publicly humiliate her as well. It would have been better if she had told her in private and saved her from attending the event. 'Why are there so many people?' she thought to herself.In the few minutes that she had been in the backroom, the hall had filled up with at least a thousand people. The fact that the room was now packed didn't help either and Helena tried to focus on the bright side. At least things were finally going to be out in the open and she didn't have to look over her shoulder anymore. Xander took her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers and she stiffened, gritting her teeth and giving him a warning look.Couldn't he tell that she was anxious about Roselyn standing right in front of them?

Her hands began to caress the back of his neck and she grazed the skin on his chest with her teeth before sucking it hard. He inhaled, tensing his muscles and she could feel as if his speed increased until all she could see was different shades of color. She stopped taunting him, burying her face in his chest and holding him close. It took only an hour to get to the palace, surprising her and he transformed as he laid her wobbly feet back on the ground. "Xander I", she tried to speak but he grabbed her by her hand and began to walk briskly with her.

I miss you so much", he expressed, passionately looking into her eyes.She pulled her hand away, dropping the papers on the floor before subconsciously wiping her hand on her clothes as if to wipe off some dirt.
