XAVIER'S POV I walked out of the bathroom with a towel around my waist and a clear mind —the exact opposite of how I had walked into it earlier on.I could think straight now and I felt the confidence course through me. My shoulders were squared and my legs moved with purpose and strength.My evil roommate was still on the bed where I had left her. I could feel her eyes follow me as I walked around but I totally ignored her and I went straight to the vanity table.But my decision to ignore her went down the drain as soon as my eyes settled on the vanity table."What in the world is all of this?" I bellowed rhetorically in anger as I saw the chaos on my vanity table.I remembered leaving only a handful of skin care products there earlier and I was shocked to find the entire place swarming with a lot of products and to make it worse, I could not even catch sight of my products.My wolf growled with anger inside of me. I became livid. How dare she waltzed into my room and start claiming
XAVIER'S POVI had always nursed this deep-rooted fear of my uncle ever since I was a kid. I had watched him rip out the beating hearts of eight men at once without breaking a sweat and all these he did in his human form and for this reason, I knew he was not someone to mess with.Even in his human form, one could see his Lycan features. His beautiful frame could not mask the terrible strength he carried within him and the danger in his eyes –eyes which were looking straight into my soul at the moment without flinching.My blood ran cold within me and it took me a moment to get myself together to be able to answer his question."I am going out," I answered with a small smile that didn't reach my eyes."That I can see but what I want to know is where exactly you're going?" My uncle asked before putting a bloody piece of meat in his mouth.I watched as he chewed the meat, his jaw moving as his powerful teeth ground into the flesh.In those split seconds that passed, I realized a very st
XAVIER'S POVWe arrived in no time and I jumped off the carriage onto a muddy path, my feet eager to carry me to where I wanted to be.I took the path, watching out for the puddles of animal urine and feaces as I walked.I could hear the loud voices of two adolescent boys fighting inside the tiny little cottage that had once belonged to Mr. Penwell but was now left in the hands of his eldest daughter, his ailing wife, and two errant boys.I knocked on the little door thrice in quick succession and moved backward waiting for an answer"Who is it?" I heard a lady's voice ask from inside the house and something in my chest caught.I did not give her any answer.Soon I heard approaching footsteps and then the little door creaked open.A smile crept onto my sad face as the beautiful face of my friend and comrade came into view."Good morning Abigail," I said with a smile, all of sudden my anger seeping away. Her face was really a cure for a sore heart."What the fuck are you doing in my ho
XAVIER'S POVI was stunned once again today as I heard the crack in Abigail's voice as she spoke."Mother warned me, she said it was all a misunderstanding and I was never fit for a prince but I still held on to my hopes that one day you would see how I felt for you. But after all, I have done for you! After all I have passed through for your sake you still never found me worthy," Abigail said.This time when she spoke, there was no anger in her voice and her eyes. All that was left there was pain. Too much pain.The only time I had ever seen Abigail in such pain in all the times we had known each other was when she had opened up to me and narrated how she had found her father's head in a box."Abigail..." I called softly, moving forward my arms outstretched reaching for her but she shifted back, lurking behind the door, using it as a shield between us."Don't touch me, Xavier! Don't! Not with those hands which you have caressed your bride," Abigail said."Abigail, please! Just give m
ANNA'S POV I was bored. I had nothing to do except sit on my bed and think.The Alpha had sent one of the maids with an invitation for a proposed shopping trip for me but I had declined. Even though I had been tempted, I had to remind myself that I was not here for such frivolities and I had to keep myself focused lest I end up being played by my prey.But I was starting to regret my refusal as I was slowly starting to lose my mind being alone in the room. Back home, I was never idle. Hunger had given us no time to be.'Where could he have gone to?' I heard the familiar voice of my wolf ask inside my head."You keep on asking me questions as if I am some type of seer," I answered her with an eye roll.My wolf and I had a very sarcastic relationship that kept our connection strong and spontaneous. We indeed were a perfect description of two peas in a pod.'You fool! My problem with you is that you don't think! After what you saw yesterday, don't you think that wherever he must have go
ANNA'S POVI was fucked.I had just broken the record for the shortest espionage mission in history.How could I have allowed myself to get busted so fast when I had not even achieved anything?'I'm sorry Father,' I said a silent apology in my mind because I knew this was the end.I knew that I may never get to tell him that apology in person as I don't think I would ever get to leave this town alive.I had not failed just him and the pack, I had doomed them all for death."What is going on here?" I heard the voice ask again. I could feel the anger in the voice and it sent chills down my spine.Slowly and reluctantly, I turned my body around to face the voice.I had never been one to be afraid but as my eyes fell on the man before me, I was gripped by immense fear.Xavier looked like the blood on his face had been entirely drained by a vampire.His near-perfect brows were scrunched together in anger.I could hear his heavy breathing and the sound of his racing heart mixed with mine so
XAVIER'S POVThe anger inside of me was so hot that it felt like it was eating away my insides.Not only had I lost a friend but I had also lost the woman I had feelings for. Although I had never explored my feelings for Abigail, I knew it was there, lurking behind my heart and now I had lost it.I needed something that was going to help me melt away the pain and hurt I felt. And the goddess had granted me that wish.I had come home with an agenda in my heart to throw out the root of my sorrow. I did not care what my Uncle was going to say or do all I knew was that the green-eyed witch he had given me was going to leave.I stormed straight to my room and as I opened the door, what I saw amazed me.The witch was also a thief.I did not know how to feel when I saw her opening the drawers that held my personal belongings.But I felt a sense of joy as I watched the horror on her face when I spoke.I also loved the anger on her face when I addressed her by what she truly was —a thief and a
XAVIER'S POVWhat was wrong with me? I wondered as I found myself bringing my lips closer and closer to hers.I knew there was something messed up with what I was doing but I could not seem to stop myself from reaching down to the full, pink lips that beckoned to me.I felt her body stiffen beneath me. She knew what was happening. She felt the tension of the moment too.We were still panting and our hearts racing but now, it was rhythmic. All of a sudden, our erratic and chaotic beating of our hearts had suddenly found a common pace and rhythm and our chests rose and fell at the same time causing our bodies to crush into each other in inappropriate places.I was suddenly conscious of everything. From the way her soft, small breast crushed into my chest with every breath to the scent of the wild roses perfume she was wearing, to the salty smell of sweat from our fight, the mixture of which was clouding my thoughts and giving me a heady feeling.This girl was exactly what I thought she
