This is the last place I wanted to be at is what I wanted to say to Courtney as we sat on the park bench. "Courtney, are you sure you don't want to go to the zoo or beach?" I asked her trying to convince her.
"No, I want to see Xavier, my prince." she said excitedly and I couldn't help but notice how excited and happy she was to meet that mother fucker. He insulted me yesterday yet he doesn't know a damn thing about me. Honestly, for the first time in a long time, I actually felt hurt by words. Could it be because he is my mate?
I swayed my head from side to side and looked to the sky trying to get the thoughts of him out of my mind. "Xavier!" Courtney exclaimed and I got scared as I looked where she was running to and saw familiar blue eyes and dark hair.
As if on cue, my heartbeat accelerated the moment we made eye contact. I quickly looked away and to the ground. It hurt looking at him because of the pang in my chest. I saw him and Courtney walking hand in hand and toward where I was seated. I had no time to panic so I froze.
We were now all awkwardly seated on the bench. Courtney was between Xavier and me. She looked from me who was fidgeting with my fingers probably counting them over and over again to Xavier who was staring into space with a guilty expression on his face. "You guys are acting like a married couple that just fought." she said in a sassy tone and I glared at her to shut up but she just stuck out her tongue at me and then sighed.
"I'm going to play with the kids at the playground, meanwhile, you guys should make up because life has to go on, you haven't even gone on one date." she said hoisting herself off the bench and walking towards the playground. I heard her whisper something to herself.
"Did those two fight in the bathroom of the ice cream place about Xavier's indigestion?" she said in a low voice and I saw Xavier's face twist into surprise and confusion so I cleared my voice.
"Hi, Sierra." he said nervously and I turned my head to look away from him. "Don't ‘hi’ me after you said what you said." I said and stood up to walk away but he caught my hand and once again, those sparks, the ones that appear whenever we touch. I yanked my hand and turned around to face him.
Something hit me immediately I looked into those sapphire blue eyes. I felt my cheeks get wet as I stared at him. His face was suddenly filled with a shock that morphed into panic. "Sierra, are you okay?" he asked frantically moving trying to stop the tears from flowing without touching me.
"You think I wanted that job, you think I wanted to become a whore and a fuckin slut." I said in a low voice and a slight hitch in my voice as I used my sleeve to wipe the tears. "Sierra, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to call you that, it was just that I was too surprised and angry, I didn't know what to do." he said earnestly and I got a tissue from my pocket, and blew my stuffy nose that seemed to be gradually getting more uncomfortable.
I felt embarrassed crying in front of him.
"Xavier, I want you to know the reason I don't want a mate." I said and finally met his eyes once again. "I've been through many bad things, I've seen the world in angles that normal people don't usually see, I've been abandoned and I had to fend for myself so, naturally I was humbled by those events, knowing the pain of it, I wouldn't want anyone to join me. I want it to be just Sierra and Courtney. For now, consider yourself half forgiven but please stay away from me and Courtney from today onwards, I don't trust you." I sand and at this point, his expression was unreadable, I could tell he had a lot of thoughts running through his mind.
His emotional scent was confusing.
"I respect your decision and thank you for...half forgiving me but I won't stop trying to be a part of your world." he said as I felt the warmth of his hands envelope mine. I became mute, nothing was able to come out of my lips. He smiled softly at me as my heart began to accelerate at an unnatural speed.
"Finally, you made up." Courtney said suddenly and I let go of Xavier's hands quickly and smiled awkwardly as I scratched the back of my neck. "I thought you went to play with your friends." I said quickly changing the topic.
"I was but I saw you two looking like you were about to kiss so I rushed over." she said looking from me to Xavier. "No, we were not." I protested and she shrugged her shoulders and walked off.
I sighed at how abnormally intelligent and mature that little girl was. "So, can I have your number?" Xavier asked nervously.
"I don't have a phone." I said as I sat back on the bench. He sat down about a foot away. "Why don't you have one?" he asked confused and curious at the same time. "Since I sold my old one, I haven't found a use for one since I have a laptop." I said thinking about the hard times.
"You can just buy one at a phone store nearby." he said and I nodded. It's probably about time I got one. "I'll check one out later." I said.
"Xavier, we need your help." Courtney shouted all the way from the playground and our attention switched to her. We ran frantically fearing that something bad had happened to her.
"What happened?" we asked at the same time as she pointed up in the bush where we saw a ball stuck. "Oh." I said calming down as I walked towards it and tried to pick it but I could reach and I felt warmth behind me as Xavier reached for the ball and picked it up.
It kinda caught me off guard so I blushed because of the close proximity of our bodies. "Here." he said as he gave it back to Courtney who introduced him to her friends as her elder sister's boyfriend, Prince Xavier.
Soon, the day broke after we played with Courtney and her friends, we also went and I got Courtney a tablet as I bought myself a phone. I couldn't escape giving Xavier my number. We headed home and so did Xavier.

CHAPTER 10 “Xavier..” I couldn’t form a sentence. I heard him let out a low growl from his throat and felt butterflies erupt in my stomach. “Say that again, I liked it.” His deep voice rang in my ears as his hand went under my shirt and onto my bare waist. I couldn’t think now, my mind was clouded. “Xavier,” I repeated as told and he sucked on the skin on my neck before replying. “Good girl.” He gently turned me so I was on my back. He wasn’t in the mask anymore but I couldn’t get a proper look at his face. All I could see was his bright eyes looking directly into mine My hand found its way to his cheek then my thumb caressed his bottom lip. He held my hand that was on his cheek and kissed my palm as he looked me straight in the eye. “I need your confirmation. Do you want to?” he said looking directly into my eyes. God, I wanted to, so bad. My body was burning. “Yes,” I said and he let out a low chuckle as he buried his head in my neck kissing and sucking the skin leaving fla

"I was but I saw you two looking like you were about to leave so I rushed over." she said looking from me to Xavier. "No, we were not." I protested and she shrugged her shoulders and walked off. I sighed. "So, can I have your contact?" Xavier asked sternly as if no wasn’t an option. It didn’t even sound like a question. I cringed. “Fuck no.” I said loud enough for him to here. I response, he leaned to whisper in my ear and spoke. “Would you rather I get it from somewhere else?” he said in a slight whisper and I felt my insides start to boil. Who the fuck does he think he is? He pulled back and didn’t have a change in expression or maybe that mask was hiding his possibly hideous smile. I held out my hand and he placed his phone on it. ‘You win this time jerk, next time, you’ll see.’ I typed in

CHAPTER 12. “What the….” I was blank-faced in the middle of a huge ass apartment. It looked much more expensive than mine and mine wasn’t even cheap, to begin with. The floor was actually fuckin marble, the ceiling had such intricate and intimate designs. The chandelier wasn’t like anything I’d ever seen, it was designed so well that it mimicked an ocean wave. I looked at Xavier who took off his coat already and remained in a tight black long-sleeved shirt. It brought out all his muscles so I decided to not glue my eyes on them. “Xavier…so you’re saying, you’re going to lease me or something?” I asked and he thought for three seconds before answering. “Yes, technically. For the next week, you’re going to be mine.” Silence stretched…how about Courtney. He turned to face me and raised an eyebrow then fished his phone from his pocket. “Since you work for Xavier Kingston now, as your legal boss. You must follow my rules.” I could tell he was not doing anything to do with this topic

CHAPTER 13 I stood in front of the sink trying to think and figure out a way out of this without embarrassing myself. My purse! Yes, my purse must have something- and I left it outside the bathroom, in the living room. I heard a knock on the door and my heartbeat accelerated. It’s Xavier. “Are you okay?” he asked. “Ah…yeah, I’m fine..” Just tell him bitch. It’ll be too embarrassing. “No, you’re not. What is the problem?” My heart calmed down at his words and I decided to let go of my pride. “I...I started my period.” There was silence. Is he the type of guy to be grossed out by periods? “10 minutes, I’ll be back.” -Xavier I hurriedly strutted into a convenience store next to the apartment building. All heads turned in my direction but I couldn’t care less. I looked through the isles until I landed on the women’s sanitary tools part. There was an attendant seated at the corner. Immediately h

~~~~~~~~~~Sierra's P.O.V~~~~~~~~I looked at Aaron, he seemed to be done for today so he was coming over so we can go home together even though he doesn't usually come to this side of the club.We're now living in the same house. I glanced at Xavier who was seriously trying to restrain his annoyance when he looked at Aaron. I think it was because he was in an erotic police uniform."Um... Xavier." I called his name timidly because now he looked like he was blood lustful and his scent was a cocktail of anger, jealousy, and of course blood lust. Was it because I diverted my attention from him?He turned to me and cooled down. "Who is he?" he asked coldly and I felt a few drops of sweat form on my back. "He's my friend-" I cut myself off and looked at Aaron not sure of what our relationship was.He stood a few feet away from us and answered."She's living with me. You must be her lover," he said plain-faced. I could tell that Xavier was confused because he had no scent. Confusion, jealou

"Okay, but where did he go after breakfast," she asked curiously and I felt tense for a second, and the room filled with my hurt scent."He went to do some work," I said pretending like it was nothing. Courtney looked at me suspiciously but soon brushed it off."Is this one good?" I said showing her an apartment room. "Yeah, it's fine but doesn't it say we'll have to share it with someone? She said and I read and she was right."Seriously!" I exclaimed in a frustrated way.I heard a knock on the door and peeked through the small hole in the door. I saw Aaron. He looked critically damaged.My body felt a jolt up my spine as my eyes opened wide. I swallowed hard. "Courtney, go to our room, now, and don't come out until I tell you," I said and she looked worried and confused. "Sierra, what's w-" I cut her off. "Now!" I exclaimed sternly and she now reeked of fear and confusion as she ran to the room.I opened the door and saw Aaron with blood on his lip, cheek, and some on his clothes. H

"I feel connected to her in some way," he said and I looked at him, he had a small singe of happiness hiding behind those ugly feelings. It was almost unnoticeable."Thank you, Sierra, for being here," he said and I nodded. "It's no biggie as long as you stay here too," I said reassuringly and he got the plate and put it on my lap."Eat it," he said with a bit of a plea in his voice.I decided to eat it out of appreciation."One day, I'll repay you with something greater," he said plainly. His scent had gone back to nothing.I looked at his face as he looked to the floor and noticed that the wounds had started healing but how exactly do I bring back his life? He told me a while ago not to get involved but I am not going to sit back and watch his heart being stabbed over and over again."You should go rest, I'll help you up," I said as I put the empty plate aside and stood up to help him walk. He winced a bit when he stood up and I put his arm around my neck as I put mine around his wa

I stormed into my hotel room, that meeting was almost turning into a battle ground. I can't believe that's the guy I let rule all the werewolves. I clenched my fists trying to prevent myself from doing something I'll regret later. If only I could turn back time and go to that tournament, I would whoop his ass much harder but I can't travel back in time. I don't even have my special power yet because my mate still hasn't accepted me. I can't stand this underestimation from even the Alphas that are below me. "Honey?" I heard my mom's voice and I saw her already at the door to me room where I was seated on the bed. "Yes, mom," I answered and she smiled sweetly. "I just wanted to see that you were okay. Don't let those bastards get to you," she said as she sat next to me. For some reason, my mom is always by my side no matter what happens. She didn't leave me even when dad left. She didn't grieve alone. She is so considerate. "Mom, have you eaten yet?" I asked and she responded no.

“Okay, try letting her take over,” Xavier said as he stood in front of me.“But how do I do that?” I said anxiously and he sighed then knelt on the grass in front of me.He held both of my hands in his and looked me in the eye.“Calm down first and talk to her. Ask her.” He said and I closed my eyes as I took deep breaths.“Domino, would you please transform me?”“Take off your clothes first, I don’t wanna rip em and have you move around butt naked.”I snapped my eyes open and looked at Xavier with pink hints on my cheeks.“She said I have to strip, first,” I murmured and he raised his eyebrows.“Right, I’ll leave you to it then. Do you want me to transform too?” he asked as he stood up and dusted off his knees. “Yeah, I’d like that,” I said and he nodded and walked into the forest.I stripped and felt my bones break and rebuild themselves. When I opened my eyes, I was on four feet. I looked at the ground and pranced around.“Aruuuuu.” Domino howled. She was now mostly in control. I l

“Xavier…”His lips crushed into mine and I couldn’t help but respond. My arms rested on his shoulder and the other on his cheek as our lips danced together. I felt my body get a burst of energy and hunger growing inside me.He pulled me closer and lifted me to sit on his lap. We continued kissing and his hands held the small of my back and played with the hem of my shirt until they were on my skin. Wherever he touched felt like kisses of pleasure, flames of fire that I wanted to devour me.I pulled away and looked into his eyes. He wanted to kiss me again but I felt guilty for doing this.“Sorry.” He said as he placed his hand over his mouth and looked to the side then let out a sigh. His hand that was on my waist let go and rested on his thigh.“I messed up.” He said and I combed his hair back using my fingers which made him look at me with a slight shock on his face.“I love you too, Xavier,” I said and smiled softly. I felt like I needed to do this. I needed to tell him this for qu

I was currently at home in the living room scrolling through the tv for random channels. The thing is that I barely watch tv and when I do, I get tired of it very fast. Maybe I just haven’t found a show to like. Courtney and her mom are currently reading a book together which is adorable. Dad is taking a nap in his room. It’s 3 pm and everyone has something to do except for me. I woke up early today, finished a significant portion of my course work and got tired of it. To knock me out of my train of pointless thoughts, I heard a knock on the door. I immediately stood up and got a bit shocked when I saw those bright blue eyes behind the door. I didn’t know what to say. I walked outside into the hallway and closed the door behind me “Greet bitch.” My wolf said. “Good afternoon.” I kept my eyes on his, not like I had the energy to look away. My body was using all my energy to keep me on my feet right now. “Good afternoon,” he replied and I cleared my throat and looked away from h

Xavier’s P.O.V“OK, EVERYONE, GET IN POSITION. NEWBIES, TO THE LEFT.” The coach announced and blew a whistle with a ball tucked under his armpit as he pointed to the side of the court. I followed the instructions along with everyone who came in for tryouts. I’ve been practicing basketball for a while now along with Walter and a few other pack officials with little experience in the sport.I could say, it wasn’t my expertise or majorly- I had an unfair advantage here compared to the other men. I was faster, stronger, and far more agile so even if I don’t put in much effort, I can do significantly well.The coach was calling one by to showcase what they could do against the captain of the team.He was tall, looked like he had enough sense to be considered top-tier, and seemed faster and more agile than the average human. The goal set to qualify the newbies for the sport was simply to last 2 minutes on the court without letting the ball get bounced off them.I watched from the bleachers

-Anonymous For 24 years I have been waiting to be out of the cages of duty and back in the courts of my pack. Luckily, I found a brain wave from a female werewolf. She seemed to know something about Xavier since her scent had a tinge of his scent. She was dreaming and I see no other way it was time to apply my power to enter dreams and read minds. I entered her dream and it looked like nothing less than depression and anxiety, the scent gave it away as well. It was black everywhere not even a single speck of light except the one over her. I walked to her and she seemed to already notice my presence. She was in tears, this looks exactly like heartbreak at its worst. Did Xavier reject her? "Young girl, do you know where my son is?" I asked her and she glanced at me and shook her head meaning no. I let out a small grunt in disapproval. "I was almost certain that you were his mate," I said that while squatting in front of her studying me in her current sitting position on the floor a

I could sense that she wanted to ask for something but she was shy. I could also guess that what she wanted was for me to spill some tea about Dom.

There was a silhouette of someone who seemed to be in armor standing still. We couldn’t see his face or any detail, we could only see the light surrounding him exposing the silver of his armor. We all stopped in our tracks uncertain of what to do next. He seemed to be observing all of us. He was scentless. There wasn’t much I was getting from him. Suddenly my dad stood upright and his eyes opened wide in shock. “RUN! EVERYBODY RUN!” he shouted and my mom was grabbing my hand to go find safety as my dad stayed in a fighting stance. Xavier and Xander didn’t retreat either. “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?” Xavier shouted and my dad swallowed deeply. I could smell the anger morph into a pure rage in his scent. “Mom, who is that?” “Shhh,” she silenced me by covering my mouth and I could smell the fear in her voice. She must know this person or thing and she must be afraid of it for a grave reason. I decided to sit still. Xavier The man in armor lunged at us as he drew a long sword out of its

SierraDad lunged at Xander with a fist and he dodged it but dad moved his fist downward and punched him in the face. From then on, I didn’t see much, it was like a blur.“Dad, stop!”I screamed but they didn’t hear me. I wanted to pull them apart but my mom held me. “No, stop! Dad, that’s my mate!” I screamed and my dad stopped. His eyes looked deep into mine with emotions I couldn’t read, his hand fisted around Xander's neck and blood down his nose. Xander’s fist landed on his jaw and he glared at him then knocked the daylights out of him.I rushed to his side and frantically tapped him trying to make sure he wasn’t dead. I checked his pulse and he was still alive. I sighed in relief and glared at dad. He shrugged with a guil

We sat down and my parents first gave each other a look and nodded before mom decided to talk. "You see Sierra, we had something urgent to do. We are what you may call werewolves too that's why it looks like we haven't aged a day and we are rogues." she first paused and I nodded.“I see but then…why didn’t you tell me? And what does that have to do with your plane crush and your gravestone, your dead bodies..." I said with a bit of anger in my voice and dad spoke. "Sierra, let’s explain this as simply as possible," he said in a calming tone and I looked to the floor and then back up to them holding myself down.“A long time ago, your mother and I, were King and Queen of a pack.”“About how long ago?” I asked as I swallowed the saliva in my throat.
