Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover

Xylan just looked on at Alpha Onyx like she was waiting for the next order, even in her stupefied position and the unwanted marriage preparations, she still didn't wants to mess up.

"Its so nice to meet you too." Alpha Onyx offered her an handshake, noticing that she wasn't familiar with the palace and royalty stuffs.

"You're mostly welcome." Alpha Onyx greeted again with a smiling face waiting for her to be relaxed.

"Your father didn't enlighten me about your beauty. Oh yeah! We didn't actually talked to that extend." Alpha Onyx laughed, although he was just trying to show Xylan that she'll be okay.

Xylan felt a little bit relaxed, for the first time in her life, she felt welcomed and wanted but she had learnt to never depend on her present situation.

Xylan was unmoved by Alpha Onyx acts but she faked a tight smile.

Alpha Onyx led Xylan to the mini sitting room in his chamber, he had it in mind to crystallize Xylan about Caspian.

He offered her a seat and a cup of coffee. He sat down on the seat opposite hers.

"Caspian is a lot of things you don't know, perhaps, he is all the things you heard outside from outsiders, although, he is a lot more of those things. Don't judge a book by it cover. Again, you should be happy that he agreed to this marriage, you both will make a perfect couple." 

The last statement annoyed Xylan, it made her felt useless since the person that was said to be perfect with her was more useless.

Xylan contemplated on what Alpha Onyx said, somehow, she got queasy to meet Caspian.

Alpha Onyx stood up from his seat, "come let us take you to Caspian, your future husband." Xylan stood up sluggishly, having a doubtful mind about the meeting.

Alpha Onyx walked towards Caspian's chamber, he made sure Xylan was beside him and glanced at her every now and then as she admired her environment.

Xylan was dumbfounded with the paints and designed on the wall. The wall had some ancient designs of some warriors, who had won some potential battles. There was an act of a wolf, a big wolf who was obviously an Alpha.

Xylan paused a little to stare at the act work, it seemed to be passing an important information to her.

Alpha Onyx tapped Xylan, noticing that she was lost. "Come on, we can't keep Caspian waiting, he cherish his time more than anything." 

They continued their journey to Caspian's room. 

Alpha Onyx knocked on the door as soon as they arrived, "yes. Who is the jobless person there who is disturbing the peace of the busy ones??" 

Alpha Onyx gave a wide pretence smile but deep down, he was boiling in anger. His smile was a weird sight for Xylan, she was used to all the bad characters in people, so she tends to read meaning to people's aspect.

Alpha Onyx told Caspian, "open this God forsaken door now! Your wife to be is here!!" 

Caspian scoffed "if you aren't both blind, you could have seen that the door is not shut!"

Alpha Onyx was very ashamed, he made sure not to raise up his head, so as his rage would not reflexed.

Xylan almost tear up, he just indirectly insulted his father and herself. 

Xylan had to glanced at Alpha Onyx when she felt some heat radiating out of his body. It was as though he was boiling but was holding himself back from exploding.

Alpha Onyx opened the door with a tight smile after lulling.

_______

Caspian was at the balcony, staring at the city as a whole, he wondered when he would have his wolf back and visit the city as a Prince he was.

When he won't need to hide in the palace and meditate, when he won't need the dark to carry out some necessary activities. He sighed, then faced the people that had been disturbing his peace.

He faced Alpha Onyx, who was in the room with him, "to what reason do I postulate this visit uncle??" His eyes pierce his uncle's own, totally ignoring his father's company.

Alpha Onyx glared at him in nothing but detest while Caspian returned the favour right back.

Xylan was in the middle of the heated argument, she had kept her face to the earth, not wanting to meet anyone's eyes among the two of them.

Caspian finally noticed Xylan, he stared at her from head to toe, taking in her appearance.

He laughed, ''you really don't like me uncle, you picked out an Omega for me, a skinny Omega, who I can break with just my fingers." He shook his head in self pity.

"This marriage will not be scratched, no never!!"

Caspian fixed his glare on Xylan, which she felt creating an hole on her skin.

Caspian have never seen such a beauty before, but there is his uncle, who he wanted to defile.

"No one talked about cancelling the marriage, it will commence and please uncle, bring it up quickly, I can't seem to wait any longer. Please."  Caspian requested sweetly.

Alpha Onyx smiled, he is not so bad after all. He agreed to his wish of marrying Xylan as quick as possible. "The marriage is tonight!"

Xylan was shocked, tonight is too close, she thought.

She was confused on what was happening, she heard that the Alpha and his nephew were not on good terms with each other but now, they seemed to be like old time friends, who misses each other after a long vacation.

Caspian snorted, "tonight it is."

Alpha Onyx ignored his statement, "get along with your wife to be."

"That won't be necessary, I am sure we will get along after the party, since we are both useless!" 

Alpha Onyx was in shock for a while. How the hell did he know about the calling of Xylan useless?? He wondered.

Xylan was not left out too, she was beyond astonishment, how in the world's name will he call her useless when he isn't perfect?? At least, I still have my wolf with me whereas, he had nothing. She thought.

Xylan was forced to look up, after hearing what Caspian said. She was dumbstruck when she saw Caspian. 

Caspian was a very fine and attractive young man, he was every lady's kind of man. His face was caved with greenish type of eyes, pointed small nose, small set of red lips with his caved sharp jaw.

His hair were in blond colors, which left Xylan of choosing between weather he dyed it or not. His body was like a thick mixed milk, which seemed to be glowing under the light in the room.

Xylan trailed her eyes from his face down to his chest. She eyes lingered on his abs and packs, which were very visible and glaring since Caspian's T-shirt was nothing closed to thick.

Caspian glowered at Xylan, when her gaze was so daring, "any problem??"

Xylan stared away from Caspian, she had imagined seeing a man with saliva dropping out if his mouth, his face whitish, his eyes red, and his physic like that of a cretin. She had imagined a vampire like person. She shook her head, distracting herself from the thought of Caspian's physics.

Caspian stared at them both as they battled against their thoughts. Both of them are lunatic. What am I even saying? A psychopath will always locate a psychopath, birds of like feathers. 

"You both should leave my room, I was busy before you came in. And I will be busy again when you leave, so leave!"

Alpha Onyx scoffed, almost losing his cool, he told Caspian that he didn't have any right to drive him out of his room, besides, the room was situated in his palace.

Caspian didn't replied back, accepting a lost for the right time to win.

Xylan felt the room so suffocating, she couldn't be more grateful when she heard Alpha Onyx said that they should leave for her room.

Xylan was given a room that was closer to Alpha Onyx's chamber, he had said that, he wanted to make sure that she is safe and well prepared for for their marriage which was coming up in the night 

Xylan was given a time to relax and get back her strength, she was to rest immediately she was given the room.

Xylan felt anxious of the night's event and the thought of it drove sleep away from her. She sat on the bed, ruminating on her past life events, comparing it with the present one. She realised that her present life seems better than the past.

Xylan could have vowed to want her life to continue like this if not that she didn't wanted to always be the third party but apart from that, she was good to go.

Xylan have never in her life met someone that will take her side but she found that someone in Alpha Damien, so what's a marriage without no one to trust?? Now she found someone who looked beyond her uselessness and found her usefulness.

Then she's going on with the marriage. She thought.
