Xavier and Diana arrived at the royal mansion a few minutes past seven.Xavier wrapped his arms around her and led her shivering form up the step, letting the royal guards who stood watch at the entrance of the big door leading into the mansion open up for them. He stepped into the quiet mansion grateful that his father, Cara and stepmother were still asleep as he didn't have to deal with them just yet. The thoughts of Cara sent a ripple of anger through him, making his jaw tighten as he pulled Diana closer to him. He disliked the thoughts of Diana and wish he was as stubborn as his brother, Baron to say no to his father. He couldn't imagine having to spend the rest of his life with Cara. He sighed.Walking further into the room, Xavier sighted Baron, his brother, walking down the stairs fully dressed."Hey what's up?" Baron, calls out.He glanced at Diana when he didn't get a reply from either his brother or their mate.He frowned as he took in the sight of Diana's old t-shirt, her
Diana turned on the bed, sitting up to yawn as she stretched her muscles which had gotten stiff from sleeping. She scanned the empty room and wondered where both Herd brothers had gone.Did they now trust her enough to leave her in one of their rooms alone? Or was it because she was grieving, she pondered, as she got up to check out the work desk that was at the far corner of the room.She didn't want to cry again and she knew if she sat down on the bed doing nothing, heartbreaking memories of her mother lying in the hospital lamenting would resurface. She knew if she sat idle she was going to remember the mean words her stepbrother had spat at her that morning with so much venom and hate laced in them. The threats he had vowed to carry out had sent a spiral of shivers down her back which had made her heartbeat jump a tad bit higher."If I sit doing nothing, I would go out of my mind," she thought, opening one out of the few drawers the desk hosted.There was nothing in there except s
Diana and the Herd brothers arrived at the villa just as the sun was up in the sky.It was probably one or two o'clock in the afternoon and she wondered what they were going to be do till it was evening.The thought of them repeating what had happened in the car today made Diana cheeks redden and she smiled. They definitely knew how to pleasure a woman and she knew many of the girls in the club would do anything to be in her shoes right now.The sound of Baron hitting the door shut brought her back to reality and she nearly flinched when Baron rested his hand suddenly on her shoulder guiding her way into the house."I think after that session in the car, Diana really needs a warm bath to soothe her and help wash some remains of whatever it is off her body" Baron stated, turning his head towards her to flash her a grin.Diana felt her cheeks heat up again as she bent her head towards the ground, trying to hide the embarrassing blush. She knew exactly what Baron meant by the "whatever i
Diana turned from lying on her stomach to facing the ceiling of the room. She felt like a truck had run over her again and again.Her mouth and pussy felt sore from the intense lovemaking she and her mates, the Herd brothers had made a few hours ago.She groaned when she sat up and heard the muscle in her back pop from the unexpected movement.She was still so sore that she contemplated going to bed again, but the memories of her mother, resurfacing in her mind made all thoughts of sleep vanish from her mind.She could feel her throat hitch and tears poking at the back of her eyes.She sniffled, and wiped away tears from her eyes. But that could not stop the tears from flowing and she soon found it was pointless trying to wipe the tears away when more were still coming. So she let the tears run freely down her face.If only she had been able to get the money on time, maybe her mother would still have been alive, she thought as the tears flowed down her face.Some of the tears found th
Diana had gotten tired of crying.She just sat. Staring into space, helplessly. Her cheeks, damp and sticky from all the crying she had done.She looked up when she heard the creek of the already half opened door, opening wider.As the Herd brothers stepped in, her eyes went from the red haired Herd brother, to the dark haired one. Before her gaze finally settled on the shopping bag Baron, the older Herd brother held.She could feel heat rise to her cheeks as she remembered the steamy session they had in the bathroom not too long ago.The Herd brothers, as if reading her mind, turned to exchange a knowing look before looking back at her. They smirked at her.She couldn't help but notice how even more hot they looked with the smirk on their faces.She was sure she wouldn't mind that beautiful smirking face buried in her pussy.Her face grew even hotter, as she felt liquid pool in her core.What have the Herd brothers done to her, she thought, lowering her reddened face to the ground to
The Herd brothers find their way hastily to where their mate who was pumping her fingers eagerly into her pussy sat.She stared at them with hooded eyes while smiling at them sexily.She bit her lips and let out a soft moan.Xavier stilled her hand, stopping her fingers from going in and out of her pussy. He slipped his own fingers inside, bringing them out and putting it in his mouth.He liked the taste of her in his mouth and left to him, he would have inserted his tongue into her bare pussy and suck on her clit.He lifted her out of the chair and carried her bridal style back into the steaming tub.He hastily took off his clothes and got into the tub with her just as his brother, Baron, stripped too.They all got into the tub and they wasted no time in inserting their male members in certain places of her body.Diana was bent over the tub when Baron inserted his dick into her pussy while Xavier placed his dick in-between her boobs and clasped her boobs together to form a form of fri
Xavier stared at Diana lovingly while he stroked her hair.He knew he shouldn't be feeling the way he felt but he couldn't help it.He wanted to protect her with all he had, even if it meant giving up his life for her.He wanted to be with her all day buried in her fold while she moaned his name.He wanted to have her live with him for the rest of his life.He knew it was probably the mate bond messing with him but he couldn't help but think he would have felt the same way even without the mate bond.Xavier's eyes were still on Diana's calm and peaceful face when the front door which led into the house opened and the sound of heels clicking filled the house.Xavier wondered who it was but it didn't take long before he found out.Cara who had walked into the villa wasted no time in climbing up the stairs to the room she knew was Xavier's.She opened the door and her eyes scanned the room before finally resting on Xavier, her fiance.Her eyes took in his hand which lay on the woman's fa
Xavier was still pacing around the sitting room when the front door opened and his father's huge figure walked in.Him and his brother, Baron had taken their father's huge frame hence their intimidating appearance.His mother was petite and the height difference between his father and mother very obvious.His father walked up to him with a deep scowl on his face"Where's the woman you were with?" His father thundered at him."She's gone" Xavier lied. He didn't want Diana to have to face his father wrath. But Diana, choosing the wrong time to appear, walked down the stairs.She had been disturbed by the sound of the front door closing shut and the loud angry voice that followed.She was curious to know who could have been crazy enough to raise their voice at one of the Herd brothers.She had walked downstairs only to be met by an angry looking older man, he had switched his gaze from the younger Herd brother, Xavier, to her.She blushed when she remembered she was still in Xavier's shi
Diana stands in front of a cell five years later talking to Rain Herd who was behind bars.He looked so weak and frail after spending just three years in jail.His gray hairs had multiplied and his beards were unshaved giving him a lunatic look.He stared at Diana for a long time before lowering his head in grief.He was ashamed of his actions now that he had nothing to do but sit around and mop all day.He knew he was not going to survive for long in the dungeons they held him in and it saddened him to know he'll never have the chance to make up for his mistake.After the night of the confession, Xavier had wasted no time in asking the men to drag him out and also call in the police.Although he knew even if his son hadn't called the cops the maids would have gossiped to the people and words would have gotten to the cops anyway.His son had just made it faster and quicker.He had begged. Promised to make up for his crimes but his son's heat was too hardened to be reasoned with.That'
Xavier and Diana walked hand in hand watching as Sarah skipped ahead of them in the front, occasionally turning to point out something to them.At times she had picked some fine store, run back to show them and run off again her red hair skipping as she ran.Diana let out a soft smile, turning to stare at Xavier who had the same smile on his face."She looks so cute and happy," Diana laughed."I know. It's so good to see her so happy and free" Xavier sighed."Ever since her mother died, she has been a shell of herself and you just helped her come alive again" Xavier continued, turning to give Diana a smile which made her heart warm and stomach coil."Should we play some game?" Diana asked, wringing her hands together.Xavier nodded, wrapping his arms around her as they walked towards the games and candy stalls.Xavier got Sarah some candy floss and Diana chips.They went from one game to another.Winning some and failing most.Xavier couldn't help but stare at Diana as she competed
Xavier staggered away from the chair.His mind was a jumbled mess as questions invaded his mind.Why would his father be so heartless to do something like that?He seemed like a fool now after knowing everyone he lived with had secrets he never expected them to have.The sound of Diana coughing awake made Xavier turn his head sharply before racing to her side.He hugged her weak form, crying into neck.He now understood what was going on with her.All the questions she had asked earlier that day now made sense to him.Her blacking out after seeing his father again for the first time after a long while.It was probably the shock that had made her faint.He couldn't imagine what she had to go through seeing his father everyday.The man who had murdered her parents in cold blood.She was just a little girl back then and he wondered how she survived.Her sneaking to his mother's room every night still baffled him but he knew it had something to do with it."Did my mother know?" Xavier ask
Xavier alighted from the car, walked around to the back and carried a still unconscious Diana out.He closed the door shut and turned to the boot of the car to let out a bleeding Baron.The injuries on Baron's body were still as fresh as they looked back in the warehouse. Maybe even worse.The wolfsbane Xavier had injected in him was not making him heal. It had been enough quantity to keep him weak but not unconscious like he had done to Diana.The leg which Xavier had bit off a large chunk of flesh was covered in blood and pus which was an effect of the wolfsbane on an injury.Baron winced as he toppled to the ground from the force Xavier had used in yanking the chain.Every slight movement he made hurt his bones.Baron let out a loud yelp when Xavier pulled on the chain, dragging him into the house like they would, to a prisoner condemned to death.The guards and slaves stood hidden in hallways and behind flowers, watching as the prince, the first son of the alpha, got dragged into
Xavier was settled on the bed with his head buried between his palms, shoulders trembling violently. He shouldn't have let her go; he knew it. But his pride didn't allow him to beg anymore.How was he going to live with the thoughts of Diana out there? Alone. Prone to danger and available for other guys to go after her.He hated the thought and so did his wolf which had been whining at him.Xavier was still moping around in self-pity when a loud blood curdling scream invaded his ears.He pulled his hands over his ears till everywhere was silent again."Diana, mate!" Those were the only words that settled in his mind and his blood ran cold.Xavier's wolf, Storm prowled at Xavier's chest, restless and urging Xavier who had gone stiff, to do something.She's in danger. Storm growled inside of him, the wolf troubled for their mate.His thoughts were frantic as he shuffled around the room.What was he going to do?Scent. Storm screamed inside of him again, helping a panicky Xavier out of
Diana stomped her way to Xavier's bedroom since she had nowhere else to go.Her head was spinning as she walked around the room trying to gather her scattered thoughts. She wanted to scream, cry and strangle both Cara and Xavier at the same time.She was still pacing around the room when Xavier walked in. She turned her neck to look at him with a force that should have been enough to hurt her neck if she wasn't so angry."Please let me explain. It's not what it looked like please" Xavier pleaded. "It's not what it looked like? Of course it's not! I sure do like a fool to you!" Diana screamed.She turned, stalked her way to Xavier and narrowed her eyes on him."You're just a pathetic liar Xavier and I'm done with your lying ass." she exploded pounding her hands on his chest."I'm not lying. I didn't kiss her. She forced her lips on mine!" Xavier exclaimed, taking hold of Diana's hands to stop her from hitting him any longer.He had to admit she was extremely strong when she was angry
Xavier had just got down from the treadmill when his fiancee, Cara walked into the room.Xavier sighed, his mood falling when he saw her tear stained face.He definitely was not ready for her problems this morning.Last night with Diana had drained him too much and he still wondered what could have been troubling her. He was so tired, and he didn't need another woman to wear him out.Cara had the attitude of always crying and nagging whenever she needed something and most times he would have to do it cause he could not afford to see a woman cry without doing anything about it. Above all her nagging was enough to make any one crazy."Xavier. I'm just here to ask a simple question and I want an honest reply" Cara cried, sniffing as she looked up at Xavier with sad eyes."Cara please not this morning. Please, we can talk about this some other day but not today." Xavier begged, rubbing on his forehead to relieve the tension."No, let's talk this morning and I'll never bother you again."
Xavier stared at Diana for a moment. His eyes were sharp and displeased."You did this on the night of the massage and you're repeating it again?" Xavier questioned. He hoped to the goddess, that she would not lie to him. She had done it on the night of the massage, he had purposely stayed still and quiet and waited till she left the room before he went after her."I followed you the other night till you went into my mother's room. Care to explain what you were doing in there?" Xavier glowered at her. Shooting daggers at her with his eyes. Xavier watched as Diana's eyes widened and her body trembled. She looked like someone who had seen a ghost.Nothing made sense to Xavier.Why should she be sneaking in on his parents?and why was she so scared when he mentioned it?"You haven't answered me yet" Xavier's voice came out soft like someone who was trying to reason with a child who would not stop bawling its eyes out.Diana gave no reply. She wiped the tears that had begun to run down
Xavier led Diana into his room and closed the door shut.His eyes took in Diana's shivering form and his strong demeanor diminished like a pierced balloon.His wolf prowled in his chest, willing him to console their mate.Xavier engulfed Diana in a comforting hug.Diana rolled her eyes when Xavier hugged her.Obviously he would be so worried stiff about her she scoffed, her eyes pulled down in a bored expression.When Xavier pulled Diana back to stare at her face, the scared shivering look was back on her.Xavier's face was pulled into a tight frown as he took in Diana's shaken and terrified self.If only he had been there when the bastard driver had tried to kidnap his mate he could have torn him to bits and left his remains for the bats and rogues to feed on.He moved in to hug Diana again but she shifted away."It wasn't ordinary Xavier," she sniffed."The person who wanted me dead, it wasn't a coincidence. It was planned, Xavier! I'm telling you." She dissolved into tears.Xavier
