He thought. And ran out of his room, looking through the hallway direction but the person was nowhere to be seen. All done....!.Who could have done that?. It was at that time Eric was seen approaching him by the hallway. Eric fastened his steps hurriedly and on reaching him, he bowed his head before quickly going straight to the point;"Alpha Xander....did you perhaps received any visitor?"Eric inquired from him, now raising his head up but not looking him in the eye. Xander knew exactly where he is heading but nevertheless he replied him,"I never received a visitor, Eric."Eric then furrowed his brow, in confirmation of what this could have met,"Alpha, I heard the shattering of something from downstairs and I guessed that was the intruder's plot to distract me, he knowing I will su

Chapter 24By; Tofunmi NikkyXander nodded off the maid, a signal for them to take their leave. They bowed and walked out of the room, Xander walked towards the arranged dinner table and let his eyes run through the varieties of l prepared dishes. This should be perfect."A-lpha, she's here!"the guard announced at the door as Xander could hear the opening and closing back of the door. He shifted back from the table, his hands crossed behind his back.Lucia as she walked in, admired the big building beautification and stunning features. She looked away from the purple coloured wall paint and looked before her to see him.All adored. He was wearing a black shirt and black denim pants, his hands as always was behind his back, his noise straight up,an aura of royalty from him surrounded her nostrils.She closed up the distance between them and bowed her head slightly as she greeted"Good morning Alpha Xander...""Seat"Xander pointed over the table to her. She turned to look behind her, ther

Chapter 26By; Tofunmi NikkyXander saw her off to her house, and ever since their walking together, one of the spoke word. Lucia didn't care speak up to avoid pissing him off even more, his wrath is what she should always avoid."Go now."He ordered her, stopping at her their doorstep. She gulped down nothing as she moved backward a little away from him and bowed."Goodnight Alpha Xander,"she muttered softly, a traces of wanting to say more in her voice. But before she could disregard off her anxiety and speak up as she raised her head up, he had walked away."Alp---"she clamped her mouth short and just watched him go only. When she could see him no more, she turned to her doorstep and starts climbing up the staircase.Opening the door, she walked it and shut the door behind her. She could have continued her walk to her room if not for a deep masculine voice."Lucia...!"Lucia turned around and faced her stepfather, Charles. He is in a pajamas which means he's about going off to his bed

Chapter 28 By; Tofunmi Nikky "You should go back to class, Lucia."He cut her off from asking further, with a dismissal. She gulped down nothing from her throat and let her head maintain a twice up and down motion. After the nod, she bowed and turned around to leave. She was about turning the corner when his voice resounded from her back,"Wait for me after the closing hour, I'm going home with you to meet your mother." Oh!, just when she was praising the goddess for making him forget. She looked back at him and with a simple nod of agreement, then,she turned the corner and walked away back to the class. Seeing her gone, Xander for the first time in so long felt weak from within, he quickly sat down on the chair not far behind him knowing he might not be able to balance himself on his feet and can just slumped onto the floor anytime soon. His head lowered to get palmed up in his two palms. Deep rough exhales erupts from his hard chest as he thought back on his words. He'd never tho

Chapter 30 By; Tofunmi Nikky Lucia paced around the living room, looking out occasionally for when her mother will be approaching. Charles is still unconscious on his bed and she keeps praying he'll wake up as soon as possible before mother arrives. She remembered how much of struggles and powers she had summoned just to drag Xander away from him away. Away from him before he would punch him to death. And in which after successfully separating Xander from his unconscious stepfather, she had forced him to leave immediately. She would have taken him to hospital immediately after that but the fear of how her mother will react at the cause of his state of health grips her. She sat down on the couch and hugged her knees tightly to her chest, as she cringed in fear. Charle's face, he's all injured; and beaten black and blue. If only he didn't fall into unconsciousness, only then will she be happy for Xander coming into her aid. Oh Lord; how does she explain when her mother or Scarlet
