Alpha Xavier Chapter 25
Xavier:The night stretched quiet, almost too quiet for what hung between us.I walked out of the bathroom in nothing but my sweat pants, water still dripped over my chest. But I couldn't care less. It was rare when I slept with sweatpants, but then again, I knew not to play my luck.Valerie stood by the window, her back half turned to me, the silk of her dress catching the low light. For a moment, I almost forgot what we’d been arguing about. There was just her, bare shoulders, slow breath, and the weight of something unsaid that filled the room more than any words could.“I thought that you would be asleep.” I said, my arms crossed over my chest as I leaned against the doorframe.“I wish that I could, but I couldn't. The idea of putting my head to rest is not one that seems to be applicable at this point.” She said, not bothering to turn to look at me. “You can rest, you don't need to wait up for me.”I wanted to respond. But I knew that anything that I would say might come as somet

Valerie:The restaurant Xavier chose wasn’t loud or extravagant.It was quiet. Private. The kind of place meant for whispered conversations and hidden truths.A single candle flickered between us, its flame swaying in the still air. The soft clink of silverware and muted jazz in the background were the only sounds that filled the silence neither of us wanted to break.I traced my thumb along the edge of my glass, pretending not to feel his eyes on me.He’d been watching me since we sat down, silent, unreadable, his wolf buried beneath that unnerving calm he wore like armor.When the waiter left, he leaned back in his chair, his tone deceptively soft.“You’ve been quiet all evening. And I know for a fact that you have a lot to say.”“I didn’t know we were here to talk,” I said. “And I never really knew that you cared about anything that I said. Lately, it's been nothing more than a challenge.”He smirked faintly. “You assume too much. And you choose to forget that we had our good days.
Alpha Xavier Chapter 23
Xavier:It has been a week since Valerie's announcement. And throughout this week, she has been busy.By the time I reached the new building, the air outside was heavy with rain.The gold lettering over the door still gleamed fresh, Valerie Stone & Associates, new, defiant, hers.I didn’t know what I expected when I walked in. Anger, maybe. Resistance. But she was calm, seated across from Maxine, papers spread neatly between them. She was the one who had called me to come. Valerie did not bother to come and greet me. She just walked inside and nodded.“Alpha,” Maxine said in a tone that was professional, but cautious. “I trust that you've been well.”“Maxine,” I replied evenly. My eyes never left Valerie. “You’ve been busy. I didn't expect things to be as organized.”“I told you I would be,” Valerie said simply. “I thought you’d come sooner. But it is the reason why I chose to call you.”“Wasn’t sure I needed to,” I said, stepping closer. “I didn't think that you would be working so f

Valerie:“You lost it,” Maxine said before I’d even closed the door as I entered her office. “You have completely lost it if you chose to take that path, Valerie.”I blinked. “Good morning to you too. I believe that there is something that's bothering you.”“Don’t ‘good morning’ me.” She motioned for me to sit. “I heard about your little announcement yesterday. You never even told me that you were starting your own firm. You did not tell me anything about it and you just went ahead and challenged the alpha in front of everyone. Have you lost your mind? What if it had backfired against you? What if it had turned against you in front of the council? What would you have done?”I sank into the chair. “That was fast. I didn't expect the news to go around.”“Fast?” Maxine raised a brow. “Valerie, that was a bomb. You stood up in front of three regional councils and told them you’re opening an independent firm, claiming you had Alpha Xavier’s approval. Do you know what that sounded like? Do
Alpha Xavier Chapter 21
Xavier:The second the doors to the council hall closed behind us, I stopped pretending.The polite smile, the calm posture, the careful diplomacy, gone.Only the sound of her heels echoed beside me as we walked down the empty corridor, her head held high, every step deliberate, graceful.Too graceful.She knew what she’d done.And she was proud of it.And not only that, she was rubbing it in my face, letting me know that she had done it successfully. What she did not understand was that she had crossed her limits by challenging an alpha.When we reached the far corner of the hallway, I caught her wrist, firm, not rough, and pulled her into the side chamber. The door clicked shut behind us.“What are you doing, Xavier?” She asked, looking down at her hand.“What the hell was that?” I asked quietly.My voice didn’t rise, but the silence between us sharpened like a blade. And I could tell that she understood how deep that blade was going to cut.Valerie’s chin tilted upward, defiant. “I
Alpha Xavier Chapter 20
Valerie:The hall was heavy with the scent of power and perfume, a blend only gatherings of Alphas and Lunas could carry.Gold light from the chandeliers poured over every polished surface, reflecting sharp eyes and sharper smiles.I sat beside Xavier, silent and poised, while he discussed trade routes and rogue patrols with the other Alphas. To them, we looked like unity. Strength. Stability.To me, it was all a stage.“Is there anyone else who would like to propose a business?” One of the elders asked, looking at us. “You know, the more we blend with the humans, the easier it is going to be. And we are going to grow stronger. We are growing to manage living our lives amongst them. We have managed to coexist with them in ways that our ancestors never managed, and we have made ourselves clear that we intend no harm to them. Those that know us, know of our presence, understand that we're not going to hurt them, unlike the rogues. And it is only after we manage to grow stronger that we'
