Xavier’s POV:I felt a surge of excitement as I leaped joyfully like a child back to the pack. My body was electric and I felt the fire of joy burning hot in my heart. The joy of seeing her again even intensified the fire, spreading it round my body and filled my soul. I know she's my fated mate. The feeling I get anytime I see her is so amazing and that is the determination I need, nothing but that. No obstacle will dare stand in my way. I must win her. No matter the challenges we face, I strongly believe that Sophia and I are surely meant to be together. Its our destiny, and nothing will stand in it's way. All I know is no matter how twisted fate could be, it would always play out how it was planned, so I'll keep fighting for love. Nothing will hold me back.As I walked into the Pack's territory, a sense of purpose filled my soul. The eagerness to see Sophia and share more good moments with clouded my mind. I felt the warmness of her skin as I rubbed my hand, projecting us last nigh
Xavier's POV:I stood there, watching her closely, my irritation rising every passing second. She does not acknowledge my presence and her silence is suffocating. I really wanted to scream at her. How dare her call me for whatever she wants and remains silent? What is really her problem?I wanted to roar, but I still tried to control my temper, holding back my word and bit my tongue. My expression hardening every second. The sound of the clock ticking only angers me the more.She knew I had a short temper but she still wants to test my patience. She wants to try me, she wants to see what I'll do. She's putting me to test, a test I'll gladly fail. Her growing silence is slowly pushing me to the wall. I still remained silent, staring at her and my face hardened in frustration. The fact that she continued to ignore me only fuels my rage. I need to scream. It seems she has forgotten who she's dealing with. I've been calm all these while, trying to avoid any issue with her, but she does no
Cindy's POVI walked up the hallway, down to the Lady Cecilia's office where I found Xavier staring at the door, his face angry. Immediately, I knew something had gone wrong. These two must have clashed. Their interaction was clear tensed, and I felt like screaming in laughter. I wanted to laugh it all out in Xavier's face and shame him, but to avoid him pouring out his rage on me, I just smiled at him, hiding my scorn behind the carpet in my mind. I've been watching Lady Cecilia for quite a while now, her power play and the rest, this small moment of discomfort feels like a small victory in our personal war. She's slowly losing it and if she doesn't get it together, the whole thing would just slip off right in her very own eyes before the right time, the time I've planned for her.I walked in, took a seat across her and wore a perfect smile, the perfect mask for calculating the thoughts running through my mind. I decided to go on with the issue, at least she should give me more reaso
Sophia's POV:I was all set and ready to head out. The plan was to tell mum that I'm going to get some supplies we've run out from. I took a deep breath and went to sitting room where mom was sitting."Mom, I'm going to go get some supplies, I mean the ones we've run out of." I said, my voice firm, but I was really scared inside.However, she did not notice and just smiled and as usual, hammered on safety."Just make sure, you're safe my love. I don't want anything to happen to you." She replied, her voice laced with concern."Don't worry mum. I'll be fine. Nothing will go wrong, I promise." I assured, my face glowing with a smile.She's still reluctant, but finally agreed."Please, be safe." She still emphasized, and finally hugged me warmly and escorted me to the door."Bye, see you later." I chuckled."Yeah, don't be long."As I stepped out of the door, the weight of my actions sank into my heart. I need to maintain composure and be very careful. I don't know what may be out there,
Sophia’s POV:It has now been over a week since we started Xavier and I started meeting in secret. Despite the constant weight of fear and guilt that comes with it, always having to lie, I can't help but think about how sweet and comforting these moments are. In fact, the joy supercedes the fear, driving me to continue.I smiled softly to myself, my mind replaying my recent encounter with Xavier in my mind. I could still feel him holding me and I wrapped my arms around my shoulder, as if holding him back. I still felt his lips on mine, so I blew a kiss in the air. My whole body was tingling with his presence and my hand itching to go back to his. The warmth of his presence still lingered on and I really wish to see him again, at least one last time. Maybe this time, we would be more free and spend quality time together, without the shadows of danger constantly trailing us.I hurried up and as I neared home, the familiar sight of my house sends a sense of dread and relief. The air shif
Julian's POVI watched her closely, carefully observing her every move. I noticed the subtle shift in her expression. It was quick and unsteady, but unmistakable. I knew it and needed no one to explain further. It was the look of someone that was caught in a lie, and I knew in that my moment that my suspicions had been right all along. My heart sank, although not in anger, but in deep weary and understanding.Sophia had been meeting Xavier. The thought stung my heart more than I had expected. I had already suspected it, but seeing the confirmation in her eyes only sent a wave of exhaustion ways over me.I never imagined that she would still continue with her relationship with him. The heavy price of love, it's just too overwhelming and she's not ready to face the consequences.My mind raced back to the faint howls I've been hearing lately. It all makes sense now. At first, I dismissed it, thinking it was just usual sounds from the forest, but now, everything just seemed to fall in pl
Julian's POVI sat her down, my heart heavy with with the weight of what I was about to say. This was a very tough decision for me, but she won't understand. Its for her own safety. I've been avoiding this moment for quite a while now, hoping it would pass or resolve on it's own. But the time has come. I need to tell her the truth, no matter how hard and difficult it would be for both of us. I can't continue like this, pretending like all is well until she lands into her own downfall. We both have to accept it. Its our fate and we can't run from it.I looked into her heavy eyes and took a deep breath, the words gearing up to be released."Sophia my love." I began. "I know you love Xavier and he also loves you wholeheartedly, but that doesn't mean you can be together. This isn't just about love my dear and you know it." I paused for a while, my gaze fixed on her and examining her trembling body and weary face. We can't continue to mince words, we have to tell ourselves the truth. The r
Julian’s POVI stood firm in the doorway, throwing away the guilt I felt earlier. My chest was heavy with the weight of the decision I just made and I could not add more to it. I saw the panic rising in Sophia's eyes, the shock and disbelief written all over her face. But however, I was not going to back down. I've said what I said and there's no room for arguments. Its the highest and best I could offer her."This is final Sophia." I said, my voice calm and resolute, despite the agony raging inside me. "We're leaving at the end of the week. No more discussion." I said, my voice firm and conclusive. I made sure I emphasized my finality, stressing the 'no more discussion," part. "The decision is already made and there's no going back. Just get yourself ready. That's all I can tell you." I made clear to her, she can't make me change my mind.I watched stunned and frozen in the middle of the sitting room. I know she wants to argue, she wants to speak, she wants to find a way to make me u
The room was a battlefield of half-packed boxes, their open flaps gaping like silent mouths, waiting to swallow the remnants of my life. The scent of lavender from my mother’s old dresser lingered in the air, mixing with the sharp tang of packing tape and the faint mustiness of old books that had been pulled from their shelves.I moved in a steady rhythm—fold, stack, seal, repeat—my mind running on autopilot. I didn’t allow myself to think too much. Thinking meant feeling, and feeling meant acknowledging the weight pressing against my ribs, the quiet sadness seeping into my bones.Leaving Green Hills wasn’t just about moving houses. It was about leaving behind the summer nights spent lying on the hood of Xavier’s car, staring up at the stars. It was about leaving the diner where my friends and I shared milkshakes after school, our laughter filling the space like background music to a life I thought would last forever.It was about leaving him.My fingers hovered over a small wooden tr
Sophia's POVI woke up in my room, the morning after my most enjoyable time with Xavier in the forest. The moment I opened my eyes, I felt a warm sensation spread all over my skin, a sweet reminder of what happened last night. I felt over excited and kind of embarrassed. We were both naked. UhMy mind replayed the kiss that led to everything. I blushed shyly as if he was there teasing me, remembering the whole event of the night. How he rode on me, how he pushed through...The sweet taste of his cum still felt fresh in my tongue.Although I feel ecstatic about the intimacy we shared, I still feel uncertain about something. It was all so overwhelming. The emotions that ran through me last night were too difficult to deal with and I had to just give in. I feel ashamed in a way. This was my very first kiss and it led to my first sex night. I'm no longer a virgin. The connection was all too real and strong and I totally forgot about all these parts.As I move about my room, trying to fres
Sophia's povIn the same intimate moments, I felt his hands trail to my neck, holding me softly and kissing me hard. I moaned softly, feeling the flow of the moment. Slowly, he reached for my shirt, taking it off and sucked my body with his juicy lips.His mouth was all over my skin and I loved the sensation it sent to me. In a split second, he unbuckled the brazzers stuck around my breasts, throwing it to the ground and feasting on them, pressing them as I moaned softly, licking the juicy milk that poured.He took of his shirt, exposing the visible curves of his chest. They were so broad and I felt like grabbing them.He came back to me, playing with my breast, his lips glued to mine. My hand slowly reached for the zip of his trousers, unzipping it with ease and stuck my hands into the dark hole and felt the huge pile, strongly straightened and erect. I pressed it gently, squeezing and rubbing it gently, as he moaned softly, his voice shaky.Immediately, he raised me up, and took off
Sophia's POVAfter the kiss ends, there's an intense moment of silence between us. The intensity of the kiss lingers in the tensed air. I'm still trying to process what happened. Did he just kiss me?Like I'm confused. I don't know what to say or how to react. The kiss was long and so intense. I felt his sweet lips settle on mine. What I feel is something I've never experienced before. My whole body is electric and eager to sink into his. Just a little kiss has already riled me up. I can't even control myself anymore.The weight of the kiss settles in my chest, spreading a comforting and warm feeling all around me. My mind is clouded, unable to think of any other thing, just him.How did the anger and rage vanish so easily? It just felt like a flash now.I feel so strange now. I've never had a real kiss before and this one was so overwhelming and shook me. I felt every moment of it in my bones, spreading to my heart and warming my soul. This single has just opened up a complete new wo
Xavier's povShe began to cry and it made me feel guilty. I felt a pang of emotions hang heavy on my chest. I felt a wave of emotions heavy weighing down hard on me. To be frank, I never meant to yell at her the way I did. I would never do such a thing to her but she forced me. I never meant it, I never meant it, I would never yell at her. I never really wanted to yell at her but it just seems that my anger kind of got the best part of me. The realization of this weighed heavily on me. I hate the way I'm feeling. I hate when I'm angry, she was the one that pushed me to the wall. Now, I just feel torn between my love for her and the anger simmering in me. I know I shouldn't have reacted that way, but it was all out of anger. My heart is pounding heavily inside my chest and my body heavy with the weight of realization. I feel like crying right now. I want her to understand that I'm deeply sorry for all I said. I really am, if only she'll believe me. I tried to console her, I tried t
Sophia's povHearing him yell at me for the very first time left me speechless and dumbfounded. Like I was so weak that I couldn't even utter a single word. I just stood there, breathing heavily as the weight of the words sank into my chest. Those words really hit me hard like a slap to the face. In fact, it was even worse than a physical slap. Let's just say, an emotional slap. I was stunned and frozen, my hands folded in shock and the growing silence between us lingering with the burning rage in our eyes. My nerves sent cold shivers down my spine and I felt the flutters in my belly. My eyes widened in shock and disbelief and I covered my wide mouth with my hands. See the aya he was breathing, as if he'd swallow me or pounce on me immediately. Has he suddenly forgotten it's me? I'm still the same Sophia, Xavier, what has come over you?I was heartbroken. My heart was shattered to pieces. Those pieces went ahead to stab my chest and spilled more blood. My soul was shaken as I pondere
Xavier's povThis words sounded like echoes in my ears. What did she mean by that? No, let's be real here, did she really mean it? Come-on, what's all this man, what the?"Sophia, what do you mean, are you sure?" I asked, my voice laced with concern.She simply nodded, but I did not still believe. Maybe she wanted to get back at me for jumping in her front and scaring her the other day, I'm not sure. She can't be serious.It felt like she dropped a heavy brick on me. Is it like she's joking or what? I hate this kind of jokes. Let's be real here. Why would she just leave Green Hills al of a sudden. No one hurt you, nothing happened to you or your mother, why do you want to run and leave me here all alone. Sophia come-on. I don't believe this, she can't do this. She must be joking, really joking. I looked into her eyes and saw pain and seriousness. Was she really serious about this shit? Did she really mean it? Sophia, don't play games with me. What's your problem? I looked at her agai
Xavier's POV:Those words stung my heart like bees. It felt like I was stabbed with a thousand needles. How did she know? I thought Sophia said everything was well covered? How did she eventually get to know? Who told her? Did someone see us together and eventually leaked the secret to her? Like how? I really don't understand. This is something I was completely assured that it was completely safe. How come she tells me now that she knows? How did she get to know? I could also notice it. The last time I visited her, I noticed Sophia did not come. I howled as usual and soon, I heard gunshots in the air. To avoid me getting shot, I quietly left and went back to the woods. Could she be the one that made those shots or she must have sent someone to be in the lookout for me? Is she trying to threaten my life? What's her own play? At times, when she explains things that happens with her mom, I kinda relate it with mine, that witch. She's just so annoying and wants me to follow her every word
Sophia's povI struggled to get back to my feet, my body still trembling, I got my hands to the door knob. I pushed it open slowly, checking for anyone around, my heart pounding inside my chest, my mind reeling with thoughts.Who could that be? I found nothing but a white piece of paper, not even a shadow of a human. I picked it up slowly, my hand shaking in fear and I struggled to open it. The atmosphere was filled with confusion and it clouded my mind, chasing away my previous thoughts and enveloped me.My eyelids shaking and a flicker of fear passed in my eyes.I hesitated to open the letter as I did not know it's content or who may she dropped it.Well, I still muscled up courage and opened it. The content was very brief and immediately, I knew who dropped it."Meet me at the usual spot."Its no other than Xavier. Well, since he has come, I'm gonna meet up with him. I don't care whatever she's gonna say. Thankfully, she's not even around.Immediately, I slipped into the bathroom
