~Xyana~In Dion's absence, I wailed like a baby. Not only has he changed, but he seems hell-bent on not accepting Gaston.Later in the evening, when Clifton came to see me, I had already cried so much that I was feeling so sick. So I just lay down, curled up in my bed.Clifton got straight into my bed, pulled me into him, and started to caress my back to comfort me. I didn't have to tell him a thing, I knew he could feel my emotionsThe fact that he was soothing me, made me break into fresh sobs. Yet he doesn't stop consoling me. Finally, I was able to calm down enough to tell him everything, that transpired between Dion and me. He doesn't frown or get angry. He just shakes his head and kisses my forehead. "He doesn't have the final say, Baby. At the end of the day, it is your decision to make. We all are equally possessive towards you, but this is the only option. I swear I would never accept another Alpha staking a claim on you." He lets his fingers slide up and down my side in a
~Xyana~I didn't have to go in search of Dion, he was already heading out of my room. When he sees me approaching, he stops in his tracks and waits. "Dion," I call, rushing up to meet him."Where are you coming from? I'm certain you've not been cleared to leave the Packhouse, at least not with a guard.""I only went to see Gaston," I reply, standing idly beside him since he didn't seem like he would appreciate a hug if I attempt giving him one."You went to see the Alpha," he repeats my words as if he was finding it hard to believe. "What about?"I sigh and tug his arm, "Come on, let's go inside." I almost thought he was pushing me away when he remained rigid on the floor.But he finally sighs and follows me. We enter my room and shut the door, Dion stands close to the door, his hands in his pants pocket while I stroll across the room to sit on the bed."So, how are you feeling?" He asks, and I let out a sigh."I'm taking it one day at a time. Everything sounds too sudden and overwh
~Xyana~Yesterday was so beautiful, too beautiful actually. Bones let me sleep in his private chamber at the training ground and when he was ready to retire for the day, he carried me home.I had to bury my face in his shoulder at some point with all the stares we gathered on the way.He bathed me, made sure I ate something and filled me up with Pack stories while I was away. Then he read to me and ricked me to sleep before leaving for his room.When I woke up this morning, I felt so calm and energized. But then I recalled that I plan on speaking to Gaston this morning.Breakfast was just me. I woke up late and I had breakfast in my room. Yet again, the new maid, Fresca, was the one who served me.Adina was still not back to me. I asked Fresca about Adina, and she shook her head, telling me she had no idea.I quickly dressed up and made my way to Gaston's office. He doesn't seem surprised to see me.He offers me a seat by pointing to the cha
~Xyana~It took me a few more turns before I got to the warrior's training ground. Activities were booming. There was no sign of Bones at first, but the warriors pointed me to a closed room. I knocked at first but when I didn't get any word from the person behind the door, I pushed it open.Bones was sitting on the only sofa in the room. The room itself is a pretty and scarcely furnished space that holds a few decent furniture, including a bed."Pretty," he calls standing up and rushing towards me. "What are you doing here?" I don't miss the shock in his voice too."I had to speak to you." I voice out.The way things ended at the little meeting we had with Gaston wasn't nice. I acknowledge that I should have spoken to each of them first before making such a proposal to Gaston. But I had no idea our discussion would go that way. "Bones, I'm so sorry..."He melts at my apology and walks over to meet me at the door. Surprisingly, he hugged me
~Gaston~Immediately I stepped into Dion's room, I realized that I hadn't been paying attention to the people around me enough.This whole thing about witches, demons, war, and the rest has been taking up most of my time that I forgot to really check in with Dion and understand how he's really faring.The depressing state of his room made me wince. Empty alcohol bottles, heaps of clothes lying around the room, and shoes, too. His living room chairs are all scattered and out of position.With the unpleasant odor in the room, I wonder if the Packhouse doesn't clean his room anymore."I don't remember asking anyone to come in," Dion says to me as I step into his room.He's sitting on the bare floor, resting his back on the wall while his gaze is fixed on his entrance door."What do you want from me?" He asked.I take one last look at the room before speaking. "How long has this been going on?" He doesn't answer, but I'm certain he heard me. At what point really has he been like this? "D
~Xyana~Juno stirs at Gaston's information. I don't even blame her. What the hell is a 'Faywolf' for crying out loud?"Alright," I say firmly, my palms raised. "I think this is spiraling out of control. Let's take a step back, shall we?"I turn to the men across the desk and the Alpha at the head. There is so much tension in the room right now. Declan leans forward, nodding, trying to ease the moment. “You have our attention, Pretty. Go ahead, speak.”Bones is always the rational one among his brothers. But Clifton is on edge, looking super ready to explode. His jaw is clenched so tightly I’m afraid he’ll shatter a molar. While Dion on the other hand is silent, scowling as if we all betrayed him.I turn to Gaston and ask, “Why am I going to turn into a Fairy?”He looks at me as if to say 'that's a damn good question.' One I’ve braced myself to answer.He straightens his spine and looks me in the eye. “Like I told you, before now, I didn’t have the full picture. There was a prophecy,
