Chapter 84

Xavier's POV

I almost held my jaw up with my hands when Zara appeared in the room. She was the second person to arrive so it was just both of us in the room.

"You look ravishing," I remembered to say amidst the jumble of unholy thoughts in my mind. My mind drifted many times, thinking of the most impossible and tempting things. There was more to why I was attracted to Zara, more than just her looks but at this moment I really believed that her looks were enough to capture my attention.

Her black dress was gorgeous with splits at the side that revealed her thighs. I hoped I did not stare too much. I did not want to come off as a pervert to her.

"You don't look so bad yourself," she said and completely mesmerised me. Her soft voice was very soothing. It reached the depths of my soul, calling out to the hopeless lover that I am.

"Thank you," I said, standing up and reaching for a seat beside me. She walked all the way around the table and took a seat opposite me. She didn't

    Chapter 85Xavier's POVAlpha Damon was silent until he was not. It looked like he would just sit back and enjoy the show that was about to unfold before his eyes. Riana Park's raised hand was just seconds away from the innocent Zara's face.She did not move. Zara watched the commotion go on with an unusual calmness. She was composed even in the seconds leading to the slap that was set to hit her. Her composure said something about her- how experienced she was to situations like these, a drama veteran."That is enough out of you!" My father's voice soon became the loudest in the room. It filled the space around my ears. It must have penetrated even the walls outside the dining hall. This was a drama indeed and I was thankful that the protagonist of the show remained unharmed. My father's hand stopped, just in time, Riana's hand when it was in the air. Another second and it would have hit its mark. I don't know what I would have done. I did not want to imagine it. It may have been the

    Chapter 86Zara's POVNumb. That was all I felt. It was how I felt at the dinner and it was how I was feeling now, in Alpha Damon's chambers, awaiting his wrath. I can't pinpoint when exactly I started to feel this way.In cases of extreme pain, a person may psychologically "shut down," and dissociate from the pain they feel. This creates, even in the continual presence of the pain, an absence of pain. Numbness.How easy or difficult it is to get to this state is mostly dependent on one's tolerance to pain and varies based on individuals' threshold.I did not feel any physical pain, only a maddening nudge at myself. Now that I think of it, I may know when it all started. I tried to deny it but I watched in great dismay and annoyance as Riana Park entered the room and stole attention and compliments from every corner, even Xavier's. "You look very beautiful," he said and instantaneously put me off. I was not angry but a feeling that I could easily refer to as hatred filled me up jus

    Chapter 87Zara's POVThe mind is malleable, like red, hot metal, its fluidity allows it to take any shape the welder decides. Standing in the middle of the Alpha's chambers, his lips on mine while his hands drew me close, I felt something. I can not describe that emotion. My mind is too hazy and I feel calling what I felt, like, would be hasty. I was after all under the influence of the full moon, like every other full moon.I did not like Alpha Damon. I hated him, tried to. I disliked his audacity, the ego that made him feel untouchable, the pride that made him believe he could do anything and get away with it, like beating up my father and stepbrother and kissing me without consent. He can't. He shouldn't be able to get away with it."I... I... I've always wanted to..." he paused. I think his eyes looked teary, I think I saw a glint of a person trapped within the big, bad vessel. I know what it is like to have another person trapped inside of you. This was nothing like the relatio

    Chapter 88Zara's POVIt is a cold summer night like any other, except tonight was not just any night.The full moon was in complete control. I had long since lost any sense of identity. As I roamed the forest, crumpling plants with my bare feet and splashing puddles of water collected by the rain, I was one with nature.Like a monk sworn to a vow of poverty, nothing belonged to me. It felt like I disappeared and was boundless as the wind cut through my thick fur while I ran. We all did. The forest was swarming with wolves. I heard the sounds of many feet against the forest floors, like a stampede.All of my senses were elevated. I saw farther than I ever have and for things that I could not see, I heard and if not I perceived. I would feel almighty if I had a sense of ego. Nothing was hidden from me. This is what it means to be a werewolf.I needed this. I needed to feel this way. As much as it was not my body- it felt like I had almost completely vanished without a trail, yet I felt

I already knew how beautiful Zara was but I was looking at a different dimension to it.I felt every part of me levitate towards her. She saw. She watched as I fought and lost control of my body. I was so turned on, so ready to do things to her, bad things. It felt like an eternity had passed while we stared and yet it also felt like merely a second. Everything about me went haywire just looking at her graceful curves, her artful features that looked like they were sculpted after the most beautiful Greek goddess."I'll get you what to wear. You can't stay out here in the cold," I said after breaking out of my trance. I was still so hard, still hungered for her. I would leap at her and Axle would consume her if the full moon had not just passed, if I was not a little exhausted."Right, right," came her nervous voice. She sounded like a child caught doing somet

    Chapter 90Xavier's POVThe whispering in the passageways were a lot louder than usual. There was a hot topic in the air. It radiated from the kitchens, corridors, passages. Information seeped from those who knew to those that did not. Zara and Alpha Damon are getting married.My father came himself to break the news to me. He appeared at my doorstep, opening the door without permission from me. I guess he didn't need any. It was his house after all. He didn't walk in, he just stood there and waited for me to meet him. It is not everyday you see Alpha Damon in a mood like this. His face was nothing like it had been these past few days. If I didn't know any better, I would say he looked happy.He hadn't said anything, he didn't need to. I somehow already expected what I was about to hear."I trust you've met with our guest, Ms White," my father started with a suggestive look. His statement was not a question, it had no sign of doubt in it. He knew but how?This is why it is said that

    Chapter 91Alpha Damon's POVI watched the two, Xavier and Riana exit my room with their hands clenched. Something was not right. To the best of my knowledge, Xavier did not want to marry Riana. He had his characteristic "angry but unable to speak out for himself" expression whenever I brought her up.He knew did not have a choice. As the future Alpha of the pack, he needed to learn to make sacrifices for the pack but his marriage to Riana Park of the Crescent moon pack was not merely a lesson on that. Riana is a beautiful young girl with excellent features, nothing like her father, Alpha Alken. There was no better bride for Xavier.As much as I wanted to believe him, I could not shake off the gut feeling that something was up with Xavier's sudden acceptance of his bride. Zara walked in while I was lost in thoughts. Memories of the previous night immediately flooded my mind. My actions were not my own that night. It was always like that. The moon had a hold on me, it made me feel di

She is to be Alpha Damon's bride," the young omega spoke fast like her words were fire, burning her tongue the longer they stayed unreleased. It was almost like she had been waiting to tell me even before I asked."Thank you. That will be all," I responded, dismissing her before walking away myself. I knew her name now. Zara Smith of the Redmoon pack, the abandoned princess. I did not like her. It was more than just dislike.Why did Xavier defend her so? Why did they seem so close even though she had barely been around? I knew where the answers to my questions lay. The door to Alpha Damon's room was guarded, as expected. "'There is someone in there already," one of the guards pointed out, refusing to let me enter. "He is expecting me. You know who I am, don't you?" I said with raised eyebrows. Reputation is everything in the werewolf world.They let me in but I didn't go all the way in. I heard voi

    Chapter 105Xavier’s POVI watched in fear as Riana left. She said thank you and just left. Her back turned to me, exposing her magnificent body. I knew she knew something, but not enough to conclude or figure out that I was planning an escape.There was something about the way she said thank you, the way she walked in and walked away so quickly. Her eyes had lost their light. They looked like two empty spheres in her wide eye sockets.She didn’t press hard when she asked if I loved her. She didn’t push herself toward me. I found it strange that she never asked for more sex after that day. She became an entirely different person. Changed. I should’ve worried more but I didn’t. I closed my eyes to it because I believed that anything keeping her away from me was a good thing.I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care at all, but I shoved that feeling aside because it was a distraction.That evening, I happened to be outside my room far from it.

His face held worry in a way that warned onlookers not to look away—not to take his dreadful expression for granted.I was immediately alarmed by this. “What’s wrong?” I asked. The huge man was not much of a talker, I knew from the moment I met him, three days ago. I mean that I really met him three days ago—he had always been around, but we never had any need to speak to each other until we did.His head was balding but he still let it grow out, even though it showed at the trimming edges that formed deep cups that ate into the sides. It was only a matter of years,maybe a year,until all of his hair was gone, or at least most of it.I kept looking at his hair while we spoke, while I told him what I wanted him to do.“I just need you to give these to her. Nothing more,” I said to him. This was three days ago, while he was on

She profited off my squabble with Zara like kings and country rulers profited by selling weapons to warring countries.Did I regret telling her she could have the dress? A slight moment of second guessing, rethinking my hasty decision to trust this scam of a girl with having any reasonable information. Potent weapons are sold by crafty leaders for future patronage, it was a business, just like my interaction with Brownie. She needed to be trusted for future deals, if there would be any, so she would offer only the best, most reliable news to me. This was my reasoning, my consolation as I pondered her trustworthiness.“He slipped a piece of paper between the door and a hand reached out to take it from him. No doubt the girl’s hand,” Brownie said, and I wondered why she referred to Zara that way. “The girl,” she said, and it angered me. I

    Chapter 102.Riana’s POV.Two days until the wedding. I have forced myself to remain quiet and imposed sanity on my raging mind.Two weeks feel like forever when you are stuck in your room with thoughts of a man you are to marry and the woman trying to take him from you.Silence, even though my body ached for adventure and my heart longed for the extermination of a certain person. I have never felt such hate, such anger and jealousy because of a person, not even to the man that raped me as a child.My emotions towards him were conflicting to say the least. I do not know how I feel about the man that harassed me, tore my clothes and opened me up to a world I have come to enjoy. Maybe enjoyment is an overstatement because the thrill that comes with not being tied down to a man was exciting but at the same time the pleasure was satiable unfulfilling.I want to be tied down. I want to be loved by someone, by Xavier. Only two days now.Today is like any other day for the last two weeks, ex

I was too afraid to ask who it was so instead I crouched down on the floor and waited for the intruder to tire himself out and leave. I hoped he would leave.The knocking continued and after a minute or two I knew that he would not go away. Could it be that Alpha Damon was back to inflict more pain or he was going to finish me off properly this time?Each time the handle of the door moved, I felt my heart almost leave my chest. Like I was naked, I felt exposed. The only thing that separated me from the intruder was a door, a relatively small, wooden bathroom door."Open up Zara. It's me," the voice behind the door announced. I know that soothing low pitched voice. I'd recognise it anywhere. Its lustre was distinguishable even in the midst of confusion. Xavier's voice was calming.I opened the door, relieved to see him standing before me because part

    Chapter 100Zara's POV"Where is it?" Loud footsteps came before the thunderous voice announced itself in the room and the tall, dark man appeared before me. A sense of danger immediately engulfed me. His deep blue eyes were marked with a hint of boiling red rage."Where have you hidden it?" He repeated himself, a rarity for the alpha of the Bloodmoon pack. His rage was apparent but something lay beneath it, masked and well hidden by the anger but I spotted it. It was one thing I knew too well, fear.Underneath the guise of anger was an intensifying fear. Alpha Damon was afraid. I was afraid. This foreign feeling would no doubt bring with it unpredictable actions. I had never seen Alpha Damon like this, I did not know what to expect, not like I did all the other times he burst in with rage but something was different about him this time, more dangerous."You better tell me where you have kept it," he said and started walking closer towards me. My heartbeat immediately quickened as he

    Chapter 99Xavier's POVI shed the false bravado as soon as she left. The truth is I was even more whimpering that she was. I hate to admit the truth, which is the fact that I cower before my father, the man who had been raised high and mighty by the exaggerated stories, endless tales that Lady Rose told of him, of their past together.She said, "our past," when she referred to her and my father's shared experiences, like there was something more to it.I felt pretentious. I asked Zara to put her faith in me. I asked for her trust when I was not even sure of my plan. How could I expect to help somebody else when I could not even help myself. All these years living under my father's wing, under his watchful eye, I had never defied him.I should blame aunt Rose for my compliant behaviour. I like to believe that she was the one that kept me in check."He has his reasons," she would say, making excuses for his unfatherly actions or, "give it time. He'll come around." Her words barricaded

I can never escape that fear.Alpha Damon is back in the room. He does not look happy. I did not expect him to be. I am just happy that I made it back to the room before he got back.More movement. He is searching for something, rummaging endlessly through his belongings. I dare not to ask, I dare not disturb his search so I sat quiet, frozen. My mind drifted to earlier in the day, with Xavier.He whispered his plan to me, as though we were not alone and someone could sneak up behind us as he spoke. I liked the feel of his breath against my ear."That's it?" I asked, unsatisfied by what he had told me. "What next? We can't possibly..."He raised his finger to my lips and stopped me from talking.

    Chapter 97Zara's POVTime existed no more. Seconds, maybe hours, had gone by since I came to Xavier's room. I did not care. Everything was perfect.Xavier lay next to me, quiet and motionless for a while. His fingers had been stroking the side of my cheek very softly and slowly."I love you," he whispered in my ear. Our bodies were mingled under his sheets, just like I had imagined him with Riana.His words sent shivers down my spine. I felt as every syllable travelled from my ear to the rest of my body. Love? Too soon? I barely knew Xavier Elord. There was an undeniable connection between us but that was it. It did not change the fact that I met him a few weeks ago. I did not say it back. Awkwardness and silence lingered in the air, until, like a rotten smell, it dissipated.I looked at him to notice that he was not waiting for a reply, he was not even looking at me. He appeared to be sleeping. His face is peaceful and begging to be left alone."I have a plan to get us out of all t
