~Timbre~ I kept my gaze fixed on Fabian as he approached the bed and took a seat beside me."Do you feel pain?" he inquired, opening the first aid box that he had placed on the bed."How did you know?" I asked."I witnessed the incident. I was returning from a walk, and that was the first thing I encountered. I apologize for what happened. Alison can be quite difficult at times," he expressed, squeezing some ointment-like medicine onto his finger."This will ease your pain," he added, gently and cautiously applying the medicine to my throbbing cheeks."Who is she?" I inquired."She is Alpha Xavier's girlfriend. We traveled back from Europe together," he clarified, causing me to raise my eyebrows."But why did she have to slap me? I didn't do anything wrong. I was just trying to talk to Alpha Xavier," I murmured, and he let out a sigh."Don't dwell on it too much. She behaves that way sometimes. Just try to avoid crossing paths with her. Only Xavier understands why he is so fond of he
~Xavier~ Taking refuge in my study room, I attempted to maintain composure as my heart raced uncontrollably for several minutes following my encounter with Timbre's face.Once I regained my composure, I directed my attention to the table before me and picked up the latest file, which happened to be Timbre's dossier. It was supposed to provide me with all the information I needed about her and her parents.However, there was one crucial detail missing. I needed to understand how and why she had such a profound influence and control over me. Despite my efforts to appear in control when I was around her, she always managed to take charge."I need to know more about her... Apart from being a girl who wandered the streets of Hamburg after losing her parents in a car accident, what else is there?"Retrieving my phone from my pocket, I dialed Daniella's number, my friend who was also a witch, hoping she could help me unravel this mystery.I had met Daniella during my time in Europe, and on
~Timbre~ After Alpha Xavier left with the strange woman, I turned to Fabian and inquired, "Who is that woman?""That's Daniella, our friend who happens to be a witch," Fabian replied as he approached me."So, witches and werewolves can be friends?" I asked, feeling confused and curious."Daniella has been our friend for years. I don't think that rule applies to her," he explained, and I nodded in understanding."It's surprising how intimidating Alpha Xavier is, yet he still attracts kind-hearted people. I just can't wrap my head around it," I commented, shaking my head and returning to the bed."You have to see him for who he truly is, Timbre. But can we talk about something else for a moment? You've been talking about him all day," Fabian suggested, and it suddenly struck me that I had been preoccupied with thoughts of Alpha Xavier."You're right. I apologize for constantly bringing him up," I responded, and he smiled, shaking his head."Are you hungry? It's already evening," he sai
~Xavier~ As evening arrived, I said goodbye to Daniella and watched her leave to stay at a hotel for the night. She didn't want to stay at my house because of Alison's disapproval, so she decided to maintain her distance and respect Alison's feelings.When I entered my bedroom, I noticed that Alison was absent. It seemed that she hadn't yet moved past our recent argument and had chosen to stay away. Frankly, I didn't mind the idea either since I wasn't in the mood to engage in conversation with anyone.I discarded my worn clothes and proceeded to the bathroom, intending to take a shower, allowing the warm water to wash away the stress and tension from the day. As the water cascaded over my body, I couldn't help but replay the events of the evening in my mind.As I stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around myself, I kept repeating the words Daniella said to me, “She is the one. Don’t let her go.” Drying myself off, I walked back into my bedroom again, glancing around to see
~Timbre~ Alpha Xavier entered my room, his gaze penetrating deep into my being, consuming me with desires I couldn't comprehend.With every step he took toward me, my heart raced, caught in a whirlwind of emotions. The electrifying kiss he bestowed upon me stole my breath away, and his hands, firmly gripping my backside, conveyed his intense longing.But then I awoke, realizing it was all a mere dream. What kind of dream was this?Suddenly, Alpha Xavier burst into my room, his face filled with terror, indicating that he, too, had witnessed something unsettling. However, I remained uncertain about the nature of his experience."Did you have a dream as well?" I inquired, lifting my head to meet his gaze."Tell me what you saw in your dream, and don't you dare deceive me," he uttered, his tone firm and demanding. I nodded slowly, complying with his request."In my dream, you approached me in this room, and we... became intimate," I mumbled, avoiding direct eye contact."You approached m
~Xavier~ After leaving Timbre's room, I made my way to my study room where I spent the night. My mind was consumed with thoughts of the strange dream I had, and I eagerly anticipated sharing it with Daniella. I was desperate to understand its meaning.I woke up early and revisited Timbre's file, hoping to discover something new and insightful. Unfortunately, it offered nothing beyond what I had already read and reviewed. Frustrated, I groaned, running my hands through my hair and sighing deeply.Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts, causing me to open my eyes and turn towards the sound. "Who is it?" I asked."It's Fabian," he replied, opening the door. I let out a deep breath and closed the file that lay in front of me."It's quite early, Fabian. What brings you up at this hour?" I inquired, standing up from my desk and making my way to the central couch in my study room."I could ask you the same question. I suppose we're both up early for the same reason—you didn't
Timbre As I lay on the bed, the door opened, and Fabian entered with a faint smile on his face. I could sense his worry, but he was trying to conceal it from me."Fabian," I called, quickly throwing off the duvet and sitting up."Good morning, Timbre. How are you today?" he asked, widening his smile."I think I'm okay. How about you? You don't seem okay," I replied, holding his face in my hands and looking at him with concern."I spoke to Xavier again and tried to persuade him to release you, but he remained firm in his decision. He won't let you go, Timbre," he responded, his eyes filled with sadness as he spoke.I sighed and nodded. "I had a feeling something like this would happen. He doesn't strike me as someone who would backtrack on his words. You don't have to be sad about it. You've done your best to help me, and I appreciate that," I retorted, making him shake his head in disagreement.He gently removed my hands from his face and walked toward the window."I promised you tha
~Xavier~ Leaving Timbre's room behind, I decided to take a walk around the house, hoping that the change of scenery would clear my mind. The aftermath of the ball party had left me feeling completely unlike myself. Neglecting my pack had resulted in the gradual loss of my girlfriend and best friend, and it was all happening too quickly.I couldn't help but reflect on the unexpected turn of events here in Germany. Who could have anticipated that things would go so awry? The urgency to take immediate action gnawed at me. I couldn't afford for the pack to perceive me as weak, fearing they might seek another Alpha. Failing was not an option, and organizing a pack meeting became paramount.As these thoughts swirled in my head, I found myself walking past the rooms on the second floor. One room caught my attention with its slightly ajar door. Intrigued by the curiosity of the situation, I approached the room, yearning to peek inside. The darkness concealed its contents, but a musty odor
