Elle's POV
The gaze of Lord Alexander's smolding grey eyes was all I thought about as they closed the large wooden door leading to Lady Alexia's room behind them.
Xander's povI moved about as stealthily quiet as I could around the very dark room. Well, it was really quiet. It was the middle of the night and I was a vampire after all. With my heightened sense of hearing, I could hear even a pin drop. Li

Elle's POVThere was a small stone pathway that wound around the exquisitely beautiful flowers and trees from the side of the mansion. Some of the trees were overgrown, their leaves cascaded overhead carefully masking the door I had seen Lord Alexander and Lord Ben pass through from the balcony in Lady Alexia's room.
Elle's POVI was in shock. I was gasping for air in the beautiful garden at what I had seen. I needed time to regain my composure and I needed to get that away from the path to the dungeon. I didn't even know what Lord Alexander would do to me if he found me out.
Xander's povDon't think about her.Don't think about her.

Xander's povThe last month with Elle had been the best of my life. Being bonded; soul bonded with her was the most incredible feeling in the world. I could feel what she felt and she could feel mine. I could listen to her thoughts and she could listen to mine. We were one. Truly one.
Xander's pov"Oh Xander!!" Elle exclaimed and threw herself at me, encasing me in a very warm and very comfortable hug taking me by surprise.O
Xander's povThis morning had been intense. I was so not expecting Elle to react that way. The funny part is I don't even know what I had done wrong. I did not think of her as weak. At all. She was actually much stronger than the rest of us. Or maybe, in a way, her strength was her weakness.
Elle's povI walked through one of the secret pathways in Xander's estate greatly missing him as he was away on council business. I prayed he was safe and his plans were successful.
Xander's povThe tension in the room completely shifted and focused on our one uninvited guest. The difference this time was he couldn't be killed and his body discarded like the silly human of earlier in the day.
Xander's povThe whole room erupted in rowdy disagreements and sides were taken as sides argued against other sides. Ben and I sat amidst the chaos and observed. Silence in such a situation was the best response.
Xander's pov"All rise" the court herald boomed in a loud timbre and we all stood solemnly. Almost immediately, the members of the council strode in majestically with airs of confidence, pride and aged wisdom. The acted like they owned the place. Well, technically they did but still...
