~Timbre~ As I entered his room, my gaze shifted towards him as he closed the door behind him. He turned to face me, maintaining a serious expression.Releasing a sigh, I averted my eyes from his face. "I understand you're angry with me, Fabian," I expressed, and he scoffed, shaking his head."What do you expect?" He replied, gesturing towards the sole chair in his room for me to sit while he settled onto his bed."I'm truly sorry, Fabian," I countered, and he let out a sigh."Why? What did I do wrong?" He inquired, causing me to furrow my brow."Nothing. You didn't do anything wrong.""No, I don't think that's true. Let me remind you. When Xavier kidnapped you and imprisoned you, I was your only friend. I cared about you more than anyone, you know? I even went as far as betraying my best friend just to help you escape, putting my life at risk. You know the consequences, don't you?" He asked, and I furrowed my brow, shaking my head."What consequences?""If a Beta betrays their Alpha,
~Timbre~ Xavier gradually opened his eyes, and a smile spread across his face as his gaze met mine from where I sat on the floor."Hey," I greeted, putting down my phone and smiling widely."What are you doing down there?" he asked, attempting to sit up."Nothing," I replied with a smile as I stood up. "I was moving around too much, and I didn't want to disturb your sleep," I explained as I settled next to him.He responded with a faint smile and reached for my hand, gently playing with and caressing my fingers."I'm sorry I fell asleep like that. I haven't been able to sleep well since you left. I kept worrying and praying that I would find you, hoping that no harm had come to you. I was so worried," he confessed, lifting his head to look at me.I smiled and placed my other hand on top of his. "Don't worry, Xavier. That will never happen again, okay? I'm back, and I'm not going anywhere. Never again," I assured him, and he nodded.His gaze slowly shifted to my lips, lingering there
~Xavier~ Timbre fell asleep shortly after taking a warm bath. Once I had dressed, I left the room to convene a pack meeting and inform my pack members about Timbre's return. I relayed the information to one of the guards, who proceeded to announce it to everyone. As I sat in the living room, I patiently waited for everyone to gather.One by one, they entered the room and settled down, but I noticed that Fabian was missing. Just as I was about to send a guard to fetch him, I spotted him entering the living room. His expression was cold as he headed towards the couch and sat down. With a sigh, I forced a smile and stood up to address them."Greetings, everyone! I hope you're all as happy as I am today because I have good news. Our search for Timbre was not in vain, as she is now here with us," I announced, and they applauded."I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for your assistance. It was a challenging and stressful ordeal, but I am truly thankful for your su
~Timbre~ Xavier inquired, "Timbre, what is it that you want to tell me?" I gazed into space, contemplating whether or not to reveal the truth about Fabian before Xavier discovered it on his own."Promise me you won't harm Fabian once I disclose this," I replied, causing Xavier to furrow his brows."What are you talking about?" he asked, appearing bewildered."Please, Xavier, make me that promise," I insisted."Okay, I promise. Fabian is my best friend, and I would never do anything to hurt him.""You've made a promise to me, Xavier, and you must never break it, or else it will hurt me. I trust that you wouldn't do anything to harm me, would you?" I questioned, and he shook his head."Can you please tell me now? The suspense is agonizing. I promise I won't harm you or him, alright? Just talk to me," he responded, and I nodded, reaching for his hand and holding it in mine."While I was still confined here, I made some angry remarks to Fabian about wanting to end my own life, and it dee
~Xavier~ "Yes, Xavier, I will be your wife!" she exclaimed with excitement, tears streaming down her face as she stretched out her hand to accept the ring.Both of our hands trembled with excitement as I placed the ring on her finger. Afterward, I gently cupped her face in my hand and passionately kissed her lips, softly suckling on them."Timbre, you have no idea how happy you've made me," I responded, embracing her tightly."And you have no idea how happy you've made me too! I never thought this day would come—the day I would finally get married," she whispered, breaking the embrace to look at me.I pouted and shook my head. "Please don't cry, my love, or it'll make me cry too," I said, wiping away her tears with my thumbs.She smiled and raised her hand, gazing at the ring emotionally. "It's so beautiful. Did you plan this all along?" she asked, lifting her head to meet my eyes. I nodded in response."When I realized I was in love with you, I didn't want to hesitate if I found you
~Timbre~Xavier delivered the news of Fabian's intention to leave, leaving me devastated. I was aware that he wanted to depart because I couldn't reciprocate his feelings. He didn't want to cause any trouble between Xavier and me, so it was the best decision for everyone involved.While he packed his belongings, I decided to pay him a visit and bid farewell. As I approached his room, I noticed his door was open, and one of his bags was already outside."Fabian," I called out, catching his attention."Timbre," he replied coldly, continuing to pack."I didn't mean to disturb you. I came to say my goodbyes," I responded, and he nodded, avoiding eye contact."Thank you," he said, and I slowly nodded."Thank you as well, Fabian, for everything you did for me. You've been one of the best things to happen to me since I met Xavier. Thank you for being my friend and for going out of your comfort zone to make me happy. I'll never forget how genuine your love was for me," I expressed, causing h
~Timbre~ I asked, filled with confusion, "What do you mean by 'I am with child'?""You're pregnant, Timbre. You can't proceed with this," she responded, her tone serious and fearful."I am not pregnant, Anne. How can you even know? Xavier and I made love a few hours ago, and now I'm pregnant? What are you talking about?" I chuckled, finding it hard to believe."I don't care about the timing. I can recognize a woman who's been pregnant for a day. It's always been a gift of mine. But it doesn't matter, okay? You can't practice black magic while carrying a child."I sighed heavily, sitting down on her bed as I tried to comprehend what she had just revealed."I'm pregnant," I whispered to myself, placing my hand on my belly."Yes, you are. And I'm so happy for you. I mean, it's not a baby yet, but you'll find out soon enough," Anne responded, a wide grin on her face."But I can't let this stop me from helping Xavier. Like you said, it's not a baby yet. How bad can it be, really?" I asked
~Timbre~ I began eagerly anticipating the next gathering of the coven. I informed Xavier that I would be visiting Anne again, and he kindly offered to give me a ride to her apartment.Upon entering the apartment, I noticed that Anne's belongings had been restored to their original places. The portrait, her crochet work, and other items were all back in order. A smile spread across my face as I turned to look at her."You've fixed everything already," I remarked to her, and she nodded with a chuckle."A witch will always be a witch," she replied, indicating that she had also retrieved her necklace."When I join the coven, will I be given one too?" I asked, and she nodded in affirmation."Yes, certainly. It serves as a symbol that you're part of our group," she responded, and I nodded slowly."But I wouldn't have to wear it all the time, right? I mean, I can't simply wear it around my neck while I'm at Xavier's place. He would definitely ask questions," I explained."Yes, I understand.
