Xavier turned around and closed the door before bolting it. That was enough for Grace to run. Without thinking twice, she made a quick run to hide in the bathroom but Xavier was faster. Grabbing her left arm, he hurled her towards himself and held her firmly."Why the fuck are you always trying to escape from me?" He shouted on her face eliciting a loud cry from her mouth.Xavier was pissed at his father and Grace only fuel his anger more by constantly running away from him."N-No, please... Help!!" she started to thrash in his arms, her struggles turning violent. Grace was dead scared. The face of her mother drenched in blood and her wide dead eyes staring right into her teary eyes was all she could see at the moment. Damon killed everyone as a punishment but his hatred for her mother was more prominent and deep-rooted considering her closeness with Elisa. That beast purposely beheaded her in front of the whole pack to send a clear message of his hatred for the omegas.But Xavier was
GraceI have no answer to his question. Even if I manage to hide that I am Lara’s daughter, the one whom Damon accused of helping his wife elope with her lover, the mere fact that I am an omega is enough to get my neck sliced. We aren't welcome her, I know that but the billion-dollar question that arises is what should I do? What should I tell him? That I am a beta, a gamma, a rogue. Probably Lycan would work but then what about my pack? I don't even know the name of any other pack. It is because I was too young when we escaped and since then we embraced human life. Dad always kept me away from pack activities and the result is that apart from Dark Moon, I am completely clueless about the other clans."Come on, answer me." Xavier inquired with a raised brow. A flicker of irritation crossed his eyes because of my silence.My palms turned clammy.'I don't know. I know nothing, God.'Tears pooled in my eyes but I bit my lips suppressing my cries."I-I... I, uhm, I.." I stuttered pathetic
My eyes widened."A true Alpha never does that." Xavier drawled out.I quickly rebutted, "But you- you also-""I am cruel in your eyes, isn't it?" He justified his actions and threw me a sarcastic smile. "I am bad but you're good. Why didn't you help them and don't feed me the crap that you were trying to protect the baby because you can’t get pregnant in a day." Xavier said and in a flash caged me to the wall. I flinched in response and looked back only to realize that I was trapped now.It is the truth though. I was looking out for myself.Placing his palms on both sides of my head, he shifted closer. His eyes were dark and I knew he had caught me. But I said nothing and continued staring at him.'Are Alphas really that brave? But how would I know? The only Alpha I've known in my life was that monster. And after him, Dad changed my world. Felix was never happy with his past life so he readily accepted the human traits and I was so down for him that I did the same without any qualms.
"The coast is clear."Grace padded and quickly hid behind the pillar. Holding her breath, she peeked at the guards who were deployed near Damon's room.Nicholas’ lie saved her life but ended up snatching her sleep. So, she decided to take a tour of the house but that was just an excuse to get her hand on Nicholas, the mysterious man who was her unexpected angel. He saved her but Grace wasn't pleased. She didn't know him and she was sure that he mustn't too then why this favor? It only hinted one thing that he knows her. But again, how?Suddenly heavy footsteps echoed in the area. Grace quickly hid behind the pillar and palmed her mouth when a deep voice rang in the hallway."Mike, go along with Draco. Call others too and get them ready for patrolling."'Who is he?' Grace thought as she tried to figure out the owner of that dominant tone. She was sure he wasn't Xavier."Aye, Beta," Mike said and turned his heels. Nicholas took a deep breath and then tilted his head to the left. A smirk
Mini was Phil's twin and a witch. The sixteen-year-old was madly in love with the brooding Beta. Yes, she loved Nicholas despite Phil's advice who had warned her a thousand times to leave this stubbornness. He always reminded her of the age difference but Mini's love was blind. She had given her heart to King and now there's no going back. Phil was aware that Nicholas didn't like her a bit. In fact, he hated both the brother and sister but their skills were his weakness. The duo was one of the most renowned witches in the entire clan.Mini scrunched her nose at his rudeness but soon let out a sigh."Fine. So, yeah you told me to find out how come Alpha remembers Gassy-""Grace." Nicholas corrected her making her roll her eyes."Whatever. Let me come to the point. How he remembers her even after raking the pills. Well, the answer is... pa pa para." She chimed before bringing her hands to the front.Nicholas cocked a brow, "What's this?""It has the answer to your question. Now come on
Grace was on the balcony enjoying the fresh air while sipping her brew. She was staring at the large stretch of green grass bedecked with vibrant flowers. She never knew that the mansion had such a beautiful garden but unfortunately, she could only admire this beauty from afar. Ever since encountering Nicholas, Grace limited her adventure and simply remained in her room. She got very dark and eerie vibes from that man who looked ravishingly handsome but his lecherous gaze had instilled a deep fear inside her.Xavier was out on a mission and no matter how embarrassing it sounded; she was missing him badly. He was the only person with whom she could talk. Grace didn't want to meet Nicholas and other than him no one wanted to meet her. It wasn't like they didn't want to but because of Damon's order who had strictly warned them to not socialize with that stranger. She somehow managed to survive two days but now it was becoming unbearable. Grace was never a caged bird and having not a sing
"What's wrong?" Xavier who was also shocked by her actions asked her with knitted brows.Grace was looking at him with horrified eyes.'No way. There's no way I can forget it.'She started to shiver. How can she be so selfish? How can she be desperate to start afresh with the people who falsely accused her mother and didn't even think twice before beheading her?Xavier's gaze turned sharp when he noticed her increasing the distance between them. That instantly blew away the clouds of love that he had weaved around them. Fury swarmed in his eyes as he stalked closer to her and gripped her arm tightly."I am asking something," he roared not even caring that his grip would surely leave a nasty bruise on her flawless skin. Grace winced in pain and tried to pry his hands off him but he growled in response silencing her on the spot."I-I, I just can't erase the image of you killing those people." She confessed. Xavier cocked a brow, not getting what she was directed to. And that only turned
The chirping of birds woke up the beauty from the sleep. Grace rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up straight. Her eyes mindlessly danced all over the room before halting at the side of her bed.A sigh escaped her lips watching Xavier who was sleeping beside her. With his right hand shielding his dark eyes, he looked so peaceful that made her wonder that he was the same who kills people ruthlessly. Her gaze slowly wandered to his bare chest. Tingles erupted in her belly watching the rhythmic rise and fall of his buff chest. An urge to listen to hear his heartbeat swirled inside her but Grace immediately averted her gaze scolding herself for even thinking something so absurd. Well, it wasn't a new thing because Xavier prefers to sleep without a tee or shirt. Grace shook her head but once again her eyes shifted back to him. She couldn't help but admire his eight-pack and toned chest. The sight stirred her emotions and no matter how hard she tried to resist it, she failed.After their fight,

"Who is the girl you brought here?" Damon asked Xavier who was slouched on the couch munching a packet of chips."And I've already told you that she is my girlfriend," Xavier answered him in a bored tone. Damon wasn't pleased at all. He approached him in three fast strides and snatched the packet from his hands before tossing it on the floor."Don't fucking play with me, boy. You know damn well what am I asking? Who is that girl? You can't just bring anyone here." He lashed out at him.Damon was furious when was informed that Xavier had returned with a girl. It wasn't a big concern until he got to know that the Alpha had strictly instructed the house staff to respect the girl and locked her inside his room and again, not before warning them not to disturb her.Damon instantly grew suspicious because his ruthless son who ruled the pack with an iron hand had abruptly taken a 360-degree turn. He was behaving like a possessive and protective boyfriend which Damon always feared.Xavier onl
