Xevia's POVHe carried me to the room, which was still on the second floor. But with a more 'sweet' design. Pastel-colored curtains and white walls with the ceiling made blue like the daytime sky, and fresh lily flowers were placed on a round table in the center of the room.A sizeable queen-sized bed with silvery white sheets. And a natural-colored marble floor with bold natural lines. Behind a large, curtained glass door, there is a balcony overlooking the mountains and forest."I'm sure you'll feel right at home here," the man said as he lowered me from his arms. I flinched, not responding, staring at him with an annoyed face. Well, actually, not only was I bothered, but I also felt very embarrassed.This was the umpteenth time I felt this kind of embarrassment."Enjoy your punishment, Miss Brielle," he said as he closed the door.I was wide-eyed with shock at the man's quick movements. I got up rather shakily, but I was too late. I didn't expect him to lock me out again. I thought
Xevia's POV"Starting today you have to come with me wherever I go, if you don't then I'll lock you in your room."The last mouthful of soup I ate was stuck in my throat at that moment. What did he mean? Why do I have to follow him wherever he goes?Instead of answering, I was left with my mouth gaping like a moron."You must be wondering about why I'm asking you that," Xander smiled at me."It's because I don't want to give you another chance to escape." He hissed."What if I don't want to obey you?" I asked back."I'm not offering you, or asking you to choose, but I'm giving you an order. Orders that you cannot refuse, do you understand?" He hissed.Making me instantly nauseous, I looked at him with an annoyed face."Don't look so upset, what's wrong with you? You should be happy to be with your husband all the time." he said as he got up from his seat then casually left the dining table after making me lose all my appetite.After a few steps he turned around and looked at me, "get
Xander's POV"Five pregnant women and seven children disappeared overnight." Archer threw the report file with a frustrated look on his face."We can't just stand by, brother. We have to do something."I looked deeply at Archer."Yes I know, Arch.""But we have to plan all this carefully. Because I'm sure they, the demon-worshipping wolves are not alone. They are in groups and have strong backing. I don't want the negligence and immaturity of our plan to result in the loss of our soldiers." I said to quell the anger that was bubbling up inside Archer.I knew he was eager to avenge the evil wolves with angelic faces, but learning from the experience of my late grandfather who had failed because of my uncle's hasty actions; I would not repeat history."Let me do the rescuing." I said again."Let me come with you bro,," Archer sounded pleading."No, Arch. Because tonight I will not use weapons, but I will negotiate with them. Because that's the only way to find out who's behind all the k
Author's POV.The car Xander was in finally arrived at an old castle that stood majestically on the edge of a steep forest cliff. The place is hundreds of miles from the big city. The massive stone building was tall and imposing, with an extended front porch and massive columns supporting its thick roof. The place looked like nothing else he had ever seen in the city, but the way Xander felt about castles, he couldn't explain why the court was so intriguing to him but also creepy at the same time.He got out of the car and was greeted by a limp, pale-faced young man"Only one person is allowed to enter. Mr. Golvarian said that."Zigas and Xander looked at each other, "young master?""You don't have to worry, Zee. Everything will be fine," Xander reassured, but Zigas' face couldn't lie, worry reflected in his expression.The limp guy helped him into the castle and didn't say a word until they got to the end of the path, where there were two large wooden doors leading into the hallway.
Author's POVAfter Xander left, Archer went straight to Xevia, who was in the glass room. Arriving there, he found Xevia sitting sweetly facing a large window from a height that showed a view of the surrounding tall buildings. The sky was cloudless, but the sun had not yet reached its zenith, and its light reflected on the river's water that flowed and split this great city into two halves.It was a beautiful sight."What are you thinking about?" chirped Arch, breaking Xevia's reverie.The woman turned her head and saw her handsome brother-in-law."Arch, since when are you here?""You look pale. Are you okay?" asked Archer."I'm fine," said Xevia while holding back the discomfort in her stomach."Are you sure?" Archer couldn't just believe her words. Because before leaving earlier, his brother had told him everything about what Xevia had done the day before. About her attempt to escape by crossing the artificial lake behind Xander's house.About how she went there alone in an attempt t
Author's POV"Get up, and you have to come with me today."Xevia was reluctant at first, and she was not at all interested in Xander's invitation. However, she remembered the agreement she had made with Selia."Alright, I'll come with you. Where are you taking me? To your base again?"Xander looked at him with furrowed brows, "No.""Then where?""To where you want to go. I guarantee you won't regret coming with me this time."Xevia felt her hatred for the man gnawing at her. But with all her might, she did not want to show that hatred."Being with you is my lifelong regret, Xander. Do you think I could find something I regret more than this?"Instead of getting angry or showing a displeased expression, Xander smiled sweetly and caressed the top of Xevia's head."I hope you have no regrets other than spending the time of your life with me.""You know, regret hurts more than being killed many times.""Let go of your hand!" Xevia stepped back a few centimeters and moved her face away from
"I hope you feel at home here," Dorothy greeted Xevia warmly, and Clayton did the same, a warm welcome like family. They both led Xevia inside and showed her the room they had prepared for her.Xander walked slowly behind her as he was busy on the phone with Dom.Though this particular day, he wanted to spend some time on his honeymoon with his mate in the city of Izlav-a city known as a territory for rogues. Izlav city is known as the safest city.Izlav City itself had quite rigorous invisible security. Four security posts were in five directions, guarded by forty rogue soldiers. High mountains surrounded the city, and only rogues and people with special interests and permits could enter.Izlav City was founded by Xander's late grandfather, Davonso Van Balstair.Izlav City was Xander's choice as the safest place because it was the only place where none of the enemies of the rogues could penetrate its walls and security."Yes? Did my brother ask me to come?""Gosh, I just got here, an
Author's POVEveryone in the room fell silent, losing hope and even their breath, including Xevia.She, who had always disliked Xander and had even wished for her mate's death so that she could be free, did not expect that when she actually saw his death, she would feel something in her heart.Something called sadness and loss.Shouldn't those feelings not exist? Then why do they pop up and intervene?"I-is Xander dead?" Xevia's trembling voice filled the silence in the room.Her weak legs forced her forward to reach the man who was now lying on the sofa in the house's living room."Xander...."Xevia seemed to feel an invisible urge telling her to move forward and touch the man.It was a natural urge that just came when she saw Xander's face turn pale and cold."No, no," Xevia shook her head and began to cry.Uncontrollable crying that she didn't even know why she was crying for Xander. The man she hated. The mate she didn't expect. The mate she desperately wanted to leave behind. T
