Chapter 27 Irene's P.O.V The ride to the event was eerily quiet. The only thing Xavier did was stare out the window and heave multiple sighs. For the first time in my life, I saw a shocking side of Xavier, when he hugged me, I could see the fear in his eyes and it made me wonder what could cause the almighty Xavier to look so shaken. "Hmmm" I cleared my throat in a bid to gather his attention. He kept his gaze fixed on the outside of the car and when I thought he was lost in his thoughts, he took me by surprise. "What are you trying to ask?"I bit the inside of my mouth, shifting uncomfortably in my seat. "I wanted to ask about the event. I feel like you should give me a head up about what to expect and not expect. " He turned to look at me with his chin resting on the back of his palm. "Haven't I told you about the event? I thought I told you earlier?""No, you didn't. You only kept reminding me about how the event was important to you, that was all" I said, taking a glance at hi
Chapter 28 Xavier's P.O.V Gracious lord! She went from always fiddling with her fingers all the time to her fingers trembling. She almost gnawed on it but I grabbed her hands before she could attempt that. "Why are anxiety and fear always evident on your face? Why are you even scared when I told you that I would be here standing by your side? You wouldn't even need to say a word except for some words and if you are asked difficult questions by the guests, I would always intercept for you before you start spilling trash,""And mind you, the Supreme Alpha would be present because he's one of the major shareholders in Axon. He pulled out his shares in my company, thanks to you" I said sarcastically and watched as she swallowed. I placed my hands on her's. "I will always be here with you, you can trust me. Nothing bad is going to happen" A wavering smile formed on her face as some men dressed in black suits, ran towards the direction of our car. I could see the fear in her eyes as she
Chapter 29Irene's P.O.V"Steve!"I heard Damian and Xavier exclaim at the same time. My brows furrowed in confusion because who was this Steve and why were they so surprised on seeing him. "Luna" He gasped, walking towards me as he pulled me into a hug. "Luna?" I repeated, struggling to remove myself from his tight grip. "You are going to suffocate her to death " Damian slapped him on the back. He released his tight grip around me, sneering at Damian while sticking his tongue out. He took me by the hand, pressing his lips against the back of my palm. "You are beautiful, I should have gotten married to you before Alpha Xavier. You should have been my mate first, how could I have missed your wedding?" His lips puckered as he pecked me on the check. I glanced back and forth at Xavier and Damian. Steve was about to kiss me on the forehead when Xavier pulled him back grabbing his shirt. "If I didn't force Damian to bring you back home, you wouldn't come, uh?" Xavier pulled him by the ear
Chapter 30Xavier's P.O.VI should have checked the invite list thoroughly. Well, there was nothing much that I could do to stop Kourtney from coming in the first place since her father was also connected to AXON. The more that I think about it, I think that I shouldn't only be worried about Irene, I should be worried about Kourtney who kept referencing Irene as a maid. Because, Kourtney had a mouth running like a tap, she was outspoken, yet lousy. What am I going to do about Kourtney? After she was whisked away by a friend, she still kept her eyes fixed on me. Mr Rodriguez, a reputable fashion designer in the fashion world, approached me. He extended his hand for a handshake and I reached for his hands as well as we both exchanged pleasantries. He averted his gaze from and fixed it on Irene who still held on tightly to me. He gasped on seeing Irene. "The rumors are true, she's your wife. She's so pretty" He complimented while Irene let out a soft chuckle. "Irene" She muttered, ext
Chapter 31Irene's P.O.VI watched as Xavier clutched the microphone in his hands while staring at the man with red mercury hair. A murmur erupted amongst the crowd with everyone wondering who the man was. Even I was confused because when Xavier handed his phone to me, I did a thorough research about the AXON and XALON company. From the information written online, this man standing before Xavier wasn't the owner not to talk of being a staff so what was he doing here?I shifted my gaze from Xavier and the man, fixating it on the Supreme Alpha whose eyes widened in shock. I averted my gaze and was about to glance at Xavier when I saw someone staring at me from the indoor balcony in the hall.I raised my head, fixing my gaze on the person who stared down at me. His face whom I can never forget, his name imprinted in my head that would never be erased. I would never forget those bloodshot eyes and those vicious hands that grabbed me by the hair till it felt like my veins were almost popp
Chapter 32Xavier's P.O.VOfwolfe's words infuriated me as I went after him swiftly. He was still taunting Irene and he had barely turned towards my direction when I charged towards him with a blow on the face. "Are you out of your fucking senses. Look Ofwolfe, I don't know what you are up to but if you dare say stupid things about my wife and if you try to taunt her, I would break your bones and feed them to the dogs" He was about to regain his balance when I kicked him by the stomach as he fell on his knees.I crouched before him and pulled him by the hair as he grinned, revealing the blood smeared on his teeth. "I know you are back for an entirely different reason. Dare touch my wife and see what I would do to you and everyone that tries to hurt her" I whispered, releasing my grip around his ear.He bursted into hysterical laughter, clapping his hands together dramatically. "You do know that I can deal with you, you do know that I am allowing myself to be beaten by you! If it were
Chapter 33Irene's P.O.VMy eyes twitched, blinking my eyes continuously as I held onto the handle up the roof of the car. I didn't know what was going through Xavier's mind but all I knew was he drove like someone under the effect of drugs. I screamed out my lungs when I saw a truck driving towards us. My eyes widened with my mouth agape, squeezing my eyes shut as I waited for my deadly end.Xavier swerved the car to the left with the honking of the car and the cuss words from the drivers, triggering all of my senses in my head as I clutched on to the handle tightly. My eyes fluttered open when I didn't hear the sound of the truck crushing against the car.I heaved a sigh of relief, exhaling sharply when my eyes caught Xavier who stared at me through the rear window of the car. His eyes were cold and it sent shivers to run down my spine. He averted his gaze and stared forward, increasing the pace at which the car sped through the road.Was he trying to kill me? That was the only thou
Chapter 34Xavier's P.O.VI heard Irene's scream of horror as she ran as fast as her legs could carry her, waving at my car while glancing back as the werewolves chased after her. My upper lips curled as I stopped the car abruptly, staring at her through the window. "Xavier, please save me! They are going to kill me, they are going to snap my head off my neck. Please save me!" She screamed out her lungs while I clicked my tongue in my mouth, reclining the car seat as I unbuckled my seat belt and leaned backward.When Irene told me that she wanted to leave, I was livid and furious because the words that fell out her mouth aggravated my anger. When she started promising to come back to me without running off, I knew that she was planning on escaping so I watched as she kept blabbing.My anger further intensified when she told me to do anything to her parents and that she was in full support of it. That was when I reassured that she had something up her sleeves.I was so tired and stress
