His Midnight Luna 236
XAVIERThis time around, he wasn't in his office. He was on the balcony, staring out with his hands behind his back like he was plotting to take over the world. Knowing my father, I won't put it past him. He was capable of achieving anything he put his mind to. Which scared me to some extent. “Father, you sent for me.”He didn't turn around to face me. “I did. Xavier, you are one step away from giving me what I asked for. For it is pertinent that I do the same for you. Ask me for anything and I will see to it that it becomes yours.”This was my once in a lifetime opportunity to ask for anything, an opening that I wasn't sure I would ever get again but I had to make the best of it. The reason I came here in the first place and I had to be smart about it too. “Your company. I've been studying your profit and it's been quite impressive. You mentioned a recent investor who has been making things easy for you. Who is it?” That was when he turned around to face me. “Oh, that. Well,

XAVIERAs I watched her walk out of the store with obvious tears in her eyes, I knew I should have stopped her. I should have run after her and told her that what she saw was not what happened and that there was a very obvious explanation for everything. The fact that I'd decided that it was better for her not to know about anything at all had been a fault on my path, something that I shouldn't have let happen but if I had told her about it before I went ahead with it, something told me sooner or later, my father would find out and it would be ugly. Very ugly. Right now, what we were doing was even very risky. Risky enough to get us both in serious trouble but it would be worth it. Hopefully. As Marissa touched my arm, I looked away from the door. “ I'll take it you didn't tell her about what's going on. I told you to tell her, after you get what you want, what are you going to do? How will you get her back?” From this standpoint, it seemed impossible because how would I begin

MIA“What are you talking about? What do you mean you want to go back home? When you say home, what do you mean?” He knew damn well what I meant but he just liked playing dumb. I was seated in his office at home, seeing him for the first time in almost two weeks. He had obviously been very busy with work, I could tell from the dark circles around his eyes. Even with me standing in front of him, he was still focused on a file in his hands. “I mean I'd like to go back to the pack. There's something I need to get there.” His frown deepened. “What is so important that you have to go back to the pack for? Tell me, I'll send someone back there to bring you whatever you want.”Somehow, I already knew he was going to say that but there was no way I would let my father trick me into staying here. What I wanted to do back home was very important to me, hence the reason for the trip. “Dad, I need to go there myself. It's very pertinent that I see to it myself. It's really very important to

XAVIERWe stayed in one corner of the house, deep in the night. We had to be really careful to make sure that no one was still awake or able to hear what we were talking about. I stood at the corner while Marissa was busy trying to get him to come see me. They were supposed to come here thirty minutes ago but they were nowhere in sight and I couldn't call her because it was risky. My heart was beating because with the way my father was losing sleep over this issue, it would be very easy for him to walk down to my room to speak to me. I kept peaking out of the corner to see if they were coming but I couldn't even hear footsteps. The next thing was to call her because the more time we spent, the riskier it became. As soon as her phone started to ring, I heard footsteps down the hall. I put my phone back into my pocket to stop the light coming from my screen. “What took you so long? I was starting to get worried.” She was panting heavily. “I'm so sorry. My dad stopped me to talk

XAVIER“What did he tell you?”She closed the door properly before turning to me. “He said the wedding must happen by the weekend. That's in two days. We need to find a way to call it off.”Madison and I have reached some kind of agreement. When I confronted her about the fact that I knew she didn't want to marry me, she didn't deny it. Instead,the first thing. She asked was how we would convince our fathers to see the same.I didn't ask her who she was in love with but the fact that I knew she didn't want to marry me was enough for me to work hard enough to see that this thing didn't happen. “Two days is time for us to think of something. Your boyfriend…is he ready? All you have to do is say the word and I'll help you get passports and everything you need to start a new life abroad.”She looked happy but at a loss. “That would have been the best option but he's hesitant. He has family here and they mean a lot to him. He doesn't want to leave them here. Coupled with the fact that

MIAIn my bid to get my life back on track, I decided to focus on the one thing my life centered around. Getting to know and under my powers. Right now, the only person who could help me do that was Magma. From what I know, I was going to have to get My Book it Spells from my father. The last time I asked him about it, he said he didn't know what I was talking about. At that point, it did sound like he was telling the truth but I hadn't been focused since I was in the hospital. Maybe I should bring it up again so that I'd be sure of his answer. Last night, I reached out to him to tell him that I was fine and I'd be going to school the next day. He waited a moment before responding, breathing heavily into the phone as if he was trying to think of an answer to give me. Eventually, he responded. “That’s good. You should return to school. How are you doing?”“Good…good. Do you need anything?”Yes. A hug, maybe some ice cream. “No, I'm good. Just wanted to let you know. Also, I wa

XAVIER“Thanks for coming to get me.”He turned to me sharply. “You shouldn't even have been there in the first place! You're a Volkov! We don't get arrested! Why didn't you call for someone? Don't you have a lawyer? They shouldn't have been able to get you to the station!” He was raising his voi

XAVIERThroughout the ride to the station, I began thinking of how this could go down hill. My father would surely hear of this. Something as serious as this would make headlines and he would be too mad and I would end up feeling too bad for dragging his name into something like this that he would

XAVIERHe had threatened me with my inheritance for as long as I've lived, telling me that if he didn't have his way, I would lose it. For as long as I lived, I've believed it, thinking that I won't have a life outside of being an Alpha, thinking that if my father took it away from me, then I woul

MIASomehow, he sat beside me.“You don't seem like you want to be here. Why're you here?” I took a deep breath, hating Esme for putting me in this situation. Couldn't she just bring the drink herself when she was done with what she was doing? Now, I had to interact with this person who I don't k
