XAVIER

I couldn't help but notice how moody and absentminded Temmy was. Seeing her like that got me more mad at Carter.

I asked her what I could do to lift her spirits but instead of giving me a reply, she straddled me and began kissing me.

Her lips on mine reminded me how long it had been since I had her this close to me but I knew I couldn't go further.

"You're still hurt," I said, pulling away from her. Her body was in a fragile state and I didn't want to worsen it by going down on her like a starved caveman.

"Do you not want me? Or is there someone else?" Temmy looked extremely hurt and it broke my heart.

How could she think that she could be replaced by anybody else? She was the only one for me.

I pulled Temmy closer to me than she already was and kissed her, pouring in how I truly felt for her.

She made me feel overwhelmed, made my heart feel so full that sometimes, I feared it'd burst open. She did so many things to me that I couldn't explain.

Kissing Temmy was like going to a

    CARTERMy attention was centered on my laptop when an email popped in.'Be home by 7pm for dinner' The message from mother was brief and simple. Mother wasn't one to send an email, infact, I didn't think she had ever communicated with me through media. The only time she ever spoke to me was whenever we met physically.So for her to send a brief email, it meant something was wrong. Though I didn't have a good relationship with mother, it didn't mean I didn't care about her. She was my mother after all.The day went by quickly and I clocked out with Hailey, earlier than usual so as to get ready for dinner with mother."Why do you think she wants to see you?" Hailey asked as we drove to the family mansion."I don't know. I can't think of anything," I replied sincerely.I honestly didn't know why mother wanted to see me and though I didn't want to admit, I felt a bit nervous as I thought about it.Perhaps she was ill? Ever since father passed away, she hadn't been herself. And it wasn't

    HAILEYWhen Carter told me about his mother's invitation to come home, I felt nervous because my last experience with her wasn't a pleasant one but surprisingly, everything turned out great.Though Xavier wasn't present when we arrived, it was still eventful. Everyone aired out their minds and peace was made.But suddenly, Xavier barged in with Temmy by his side. He had an aura of defiance surrounding him and I instantly knew that trouble wasn't far.The Xavier I knew wasn't like this. He was usually cool headed but since Temmy's reappearance, it felt like he became a completely different person altogether.Asides that, I felt greatly uncomfortable with being in the same space with Temmy. The aura surrounded her was eerie likened to that of a haunted house. "I'm here. Let's quickly get done with whatever this is," He said as he took a seat, not caring to acknowledge anybody."You're just arriving yet you have the audacity to rush us?" Carter replied, much to my fear.If I had my way,

    CARTERAfter mother had succeeded in separating Xavier and I, not that she could do much if we really wanted to go at each other, but either way, after the little fight, I made my way out in search of Hailey.I knew the main reason why she felt the dining room was because she felt she was the cause of it. But that wasn't so.My worry grew when I remembered that not long after she left, Temmy followed after her, with claims that she was going to talk to her.Where could they be? I hoped nothing had gone wrong because I knew that they were like polar opposites who clashed whenever they're together.I walked down the hallway searching and I turned towards the balcony and surprisingly, Sabastein intercepted me.Wasn't he just in the dining room?"What are you doing here?" I asked because this wasn't the direction of his wing in the house. I shook my head, remembering that I had a priority, "do you know where my wife is?" I asked."I followed after Hailey and Temmy to make sure things wil

    TEMMYAfter Hailey pushed me off and rushed in, I smiled sinisterly. Hailey was indeed scared of me, hence the reason why she fled.But amidst my joy, I felt an incredible hunger for blood. I needed to kill, needed to feast on a soul.I walked back into the mansion and there and saw Xavier who stood by the hallway."Where have you been?" He asked like a doting husband which only irritated me."I went out to talk some sense into Hailey but she's adamant," I lied. Though it technically wasn't fully a lie. I did try to talk sense into Hailey with my fist."You should stay away from her. She won't listen to you," He adviced and I nodded as though I listened."Let's go home, I'm tired" I said, taking his hand in mine and pulling him with me. I was sick and tired of being in the midst of Carter and his family. I felt caged with them and that was a feeling I detested the most. But Xavier didn't move an inch so I turned to him with raised brows, "is everything alright?"Xavier had a somewhat

    HAILEYSince Carter told me about their plan, unease settled deep inside of me. The plan was simple but I felt like so many things would go wrong. I just wasn't myself.Even when it was time for bed, I couldn't sleep as my anxiety spiked. After a while of tossing and turning in bed, I decided to go help Carter and Sabastein.But while I walked through the hallways, towards Xavier's room, I felt unexplainably scared. I couldn't wave off the feeling of unease. It was as though something unfortunately had happened.I swallowed, increasing my pace to Xavier's room and when I got there, the door was slightly opened. My heart thumped loudly in my chest as I stood before the door.I took in a deep breath, bracing myself and then I slowly pushed the door open. My eyes widened at the scene before me.Sabastein knelt sobbing before Xavier who laid motionlessly on the bed. On closet inspection, I noticed that there was quite a lot of blood on Xavier's body and he had a dagger stuck to his chest.

    TEMMYI winced in pain as I pried my eyes open. The last thing I could remember was conversing with Amari, only to find myself laying on the cold, moist found.I stood up slowing, stretching out my limbs when suddenly, my eyes caught Hailey standing and staring at me from the other end of what I realized to be some sort of cell that we were locked up in.I had temporarily forgotten that she had annoyingly leeched to me. Thinking about her made my blood boil."Temmy, we need to talk" She said and I smiled widely, the demon inside of me already taking control."Except what you have to say is your last prayer," I smiled and approached her in slow steps.Hailey and I had fought quite a number of times and this was certainly going to be the last because being locked up, I'd have the chance to be done with her for good."Don't do this, Temmy. I don't want to to fight you. Neither of us has to die," She uttered desperately and my mouth watered, craving for her blood. There was nothing better

    HAILEYThe second I realized that Temmy actually wanted me dead, I fought back but not with the intention of killing her.It never meant to hurt her. My reason of fighting back was to rid her of the demon possessing her.When Temmy could no longer fight back, I crouched down to her level and with all the energy I could muster, I plastered my hand to her forehead, casting out the demon and causing her to crash to the moist floor. I collapsed beside her, catching my breath. It wasn't easy to cast out a demon and a stubborn and powerful one at that.Even till this point, I couldn't tell who I was. I had thought I was a normal wolf but a normal wolf didn't have the ability to cast out demons.I brushed the thought off my mind, suddenly remembering Temmy. I glanced at her direction and noticed that she laid motionless.Instantly, I panicked. I could clearly remember Amari saying that the demon was a part of her and that it was impossible to rid her of it.Had I perhaps killed Temmy?I swa

    TEMMYThe relief I felt when Hailey got rid of the demon inside of me was unexplainable but when she told me that I had killed Xavier, I wished the demon had killed me from inside.How would I live knowing that Xavier was dead and it was all my fault? No matter how hard Hailey tried to convince me that I was under the influence of a much more powerful force, I just couldn't forgive myself.I killed Xavier. I killed my own mate!Initially, I could tell Hailey was hiding something when I kept asking her about Xavier and instead of giving me a straight response, she kept beating about the bush.But never had I expected that the news she was hiding was Xavier's death. I had killed him and that was the reality.I buried my head between my legs as tears rolled down from my eyes uncontrollably. I couldn't think of anything other than the fact that I had killed Xavier. He was gone!"It's not your fault, Temmy," Hailey tried to console me when she infact couldn't control her sobbing."I killed

    CARTER"She's really grumpy and demanding but I love every second of it," I said, knotting my tie."I'm sure you do." Xavier replied, "I'd even mistake you for the carrying the child because of how happy and healthy you look," Xavier's comment made me laugh. He was right as I had heard the comment several times. A lot of people said I was enjoying the process of fatherhood way to much and my reply was always the same,"Becoming a father to Hailey's and my child was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire years of existence." Though the pregnancy made Hailey act up and become easily irritated with everything including me, I didn't mind. I loved every single moment of it and because of that, I now had a journal where I document each day of her pregnancy. Her food cravings, her likes and dislikes and so much more.Another thing about Hailey was that the pregnancy made her conscious of her body. She'd stand in front of a mirror and comment on how fat and out of shape sh

    CARTERHailey's behaviour left me worried as this was the first time I had seen her this way. After she threw up, I couldn't help but notice how deathly pale she looked and the fact that she didn't touch her food made me scared.I found it difficult to concentrate as my mind thought of several reasons as to why she looked pale. Perhaps was she sick with a deadly, incurable disease? Due to how deep in thought I was, I didn't notice when Xavier walked in, until he placed a document on my table and muttered, "Earth to Carter.""Oh" I looked at him, "When did you come in?""Not long ago," He replied, taking a seat, "What's on your mind?""Hailey," I replied."What about her?" He asked curiously."I think she's sick.""Why do you have that thought?""Because for the first time ever, she threw up and she looks pale," I sighed, "and when I asked her, she said it's that time of the month. I think she's trying to hide something from me," I placed my elbow on the table and rested my head on it

    HAILEYMy relationship with Carter had improved considerable after the honeymoon proposal. We barely argued and we did everything together. He was the sweetest and the most perfect man for me. I had gotten used to his sweet side which he only used for me alone.Carter and I stood in the kitchen, which had become a regular witness to our intimate sessions. But that wasn't the point. We were baking a bread together for breakfast and we were waiting for it to be ready."Do you think it'll come out great?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. Carter was a great good and I envied him for that quality."Of course," He smiled, "Whatever I whisk up must come out delicious. Chefs kiss" He folded his fingers, brought it to his lips and kissed loudly.I rolled my eyes at him with a smile on his face, "Narcissist," I muttered."It'd be a waste to be this good and not show it off, you know that right?"I threw an ugly face at him and he laughed. "Don't tell me you're jealous?" He wrapped

    CARTERI stood and stared at the vast expanse of greeny before me.Xavier had told me before hand about Temmy asking me to lead her pack.I knew what she was worried about.Temmy was capable of ruling, but the fear of the Innocent people having to suffer if any mischief came up was the issue.I'd been thinking about it for a while and I decided to finally say it to Xavier.A combined honeymoon, Carter and Hailey, Temmy and I.However we'd have to leave that pack and although the peace was all settled, it'd still take a lot of arrangements to make for a trip like that. "Xavier,"I called from behind as he walked towards me."What are you doing here," I asked and shook my hands." Thank you for accepting Temmy's offer," he thanked and he gave a stoic response."I've something to suggest Xavier," I began and he turned to look at me Interestedly." What is it that you've in stock," he asked as I kept mute."A combined honeymoon," I said and he stood shocked before finally getting a grasp

    TEMMYI lay down on my bed, reminiscing about the relationship between Xavier and me.I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts to no avail, they consumed me whole.I'd been thinking about it the whole day, our relationship, my relationship with him.It felt even more different after the incident that happened last.When he told me that he loved me, I felt my heart thump rapidly but it thumped harder when I saw him losing consciousness in my arms.A Small part of me wanted to stop but I couldn't, I struggled harder to stop the rampage Inside of me.But despite all this, he didn't stop holding, despite the chances that it could be his last chance of survival.A thought clicked in my mind, I'd marked Xavier and he had as well, but I had no memories of doing so.Love was sweet and I ran my hands through the mate mark on my body, smiling like a Cheshire cat to myself.The small date, little Jabments of PDA when we both hadn't confessed our feelings to each other, the thrill that came wit

    HAILEYMy face burned bright red as I realized what I had just done. "Uhm," I coughed awkwardly, "I..I didn't mean it like that" I tried to come up with an excuse but it didn't seem like Carter bought it."There's no need to retract your words, Hailey." He chuckled deeply, a sound that shamelessly made me want to clench my legs together.I was short of words so I decided to keep mute. Since I met Carter, I have never felt as needy as I felt at that moment and the most surprising thing was that I wasn't under any kind of spell that made my senses become heightened."Do you want me to fuck you or not," Carter asked, staring deep into my eyes, "Tell me you don't crave me as much as I do and I'll turn around and walk away, pretending that this conversation didn't take place."I swallowed the bundle of nerves that had formed in my throat. Of course I wanted Carter. I wanted him to do all sorts of wicked things he could come up with to my body. I wanted him to fuck me until I wouldn't be a

    HAILEYI hadn't spoken to Carter since the fight. We just acted like we couldn't see ourselves, we just went about ignoring each other.I tossed around on the bed unable to fall asleep due to the pain of my injuries. I sighed for the umpteenth time as I sat up on the bed, thinking of a way to distract myself from everything.Finally, I decided that ice cream was the best option so I came down from bed and walked out of my room, heading downstairs.The living room was dark, only illuminated by the light coming from the kitchen. I contemplated going back to my room as I assumed Carter was in the kitchen but on a second thought, I walked further. The maids had probably forgotten to turn off the light.But I was wrong. A shirtless Carter stood by the kitchen counter, chugging down a bottle of water, his body on full display. I halted in my track, pondering on my next line of actions.I thought about heading back to upstairs to my room but just as I was about to drag my feet, Carter droppe

    XAVIERAfter the chaos, we finally made it home. I towered over Temmy, watching her closely as she slept.She looked incredibly peaceful, a huge contrast to her earlier behavior. But I didn't blame her for that. It wasn't her fault. I could only hope that she was back to normal.Speaking of the incident, I reached for my neck, the exact place where Temmy bit me and absentmindedly caressed it. I wasn't sure if she realized that she marked me which was a way to stake her claim on me.I felt giddy that she remembered me even while struggling with demons. She choose me even while she wasn't in her right frame of mind. I could only hope and pray that she doesn't regret it because then, I wouldn't know how to act.I was glad that no substantial harm was inflicted on anyone as it would have made matters worst. Thinking back, Hailey suddenly crossed my mind so I left to check up on her but not before placing a kiss on Temmy's forehead.In Hailey's room, while she sat on the bed, Carter stood
