ANNA’S POVIt finally started making sense in my head, but I couldn’t hold on to the senses. “If that’s Kelvin’s family name, why didn’t they want to speak about it?”Charles dropped his hand from mine and got off the chair. “That’s why I would advise that you stay away or ask Kelvin to do the bargain… if what you seek, is truly that important…” Kelvin said before walking away.I remained there in the sitting area with his words playing in my head.Kelvin had told me that his family got killed by Lartes’ attacks and he was left alone on the island until Xena came to rescue him. How come there was still a part of his family somewhere that he didn’t want to talk about?My mind was weighed down by the news, but I brushed it off my head and focused on Xavier. He was the one I should worry over and think of sorting and not the other way around. Besides, I had to respect Kelvin and Xena’s decision —even if it was stupid that she would want to steer clear of saving her only surviving family.

ANNA'S POVTwenty minutes earlier~Xavier's name echoed in my ears and I couldn't bring myself to move anymore.There were not so many people with that kind of name, I couldn't just wave it off and think of it as another person.It had to be him.With my racing heart, I watched with wide eyes underneath the mask as they exchanged words.His voice was familiar and my wolf was on edge but I held myself back. It could have been a mistake.Time stopped when he tore his mask off and just like her, his face also became exposed. My throat turned dry instantly and I held onto my chest for the fear of it giving up on my heart.I was looking back into Xavier's true face. He was alive and well.He wasn't even under chains like I had thought. He looked like he was having fun...My eyes went to the pretty and brave woman in front of him and I felt a flash of anger curled through me.Here I was trying to get Xavier and she was flirting with him!My hands tightened by my sides and I changed my mind

ANNA’S POVHis words tore my heart apart. I thought the kiss was supposed to be a sign of him forgetting about all that had happened. And then we could move on from there.I thought the minefields were gone and we could finally be close. I thought it was finally time for me to drop the fear and setbacks I had concerning him, but I thought wrong.Xavier was very angry with me.I knew that fighting or explaining things to him wasn’t going to solve anything. I would have to use Xena and Kelvin. Besides they had a lot of explaining to do.“Return to the throne room, Edna will set you free and I hope you stay away,” he said and then walked out of the room.With a lump in my throat, I moved slowly from the room and walked into the throne room where the rest of the men and their annoying leader were sitting, waiting for me.“So, what do we have here…” the woman who I guessed was the Edna, Xavier had spoken about said.I raised my brows menacingly at her but said nothing. My hands were ready

XAVIER’S POVAnna was a curse on my life. I thought I had gone over the feeling of missing her but ever since I set my eyes on her, the days became longer and the nights colder.Forgetting her became a plague and hating her like I used to be a luxury I could no longer afford. My wolf had surrendered to her a long time ago and even though I was hurt, I couldn’t bring myself to hate her.She had hurt me. She had humiliated me, but I couldn’t change the way my heart felt.I sat on my bed with my eyes reading the ceilings, thinking of a way I could undo the way my wolf felt towards her. My mind was already swimming on a string her love carried me upon, and I was exiting normal existence until a knock echoed on my door.I jerked back to reality and was glad at the door. As if my orbs could control it, it opened and it was Edna all dressed up in her fighting uniform, which was a black jumpsuit that hugged every muscular part of her.“Are you going somewhere?” I asked, knowing well that this

XAVIER’S POV“You are right, I didn’t come here to hurt my eyes with your rainbows, I came here to propose to you another chance to get revenge for our parents—”“You and I do not have the same parents. Do not say it as if we do!” Kelvin hissed, breaking through Edna’s response. “My parents are nothing compared to the whore that birthed you.”She rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. “As much as I would have preferred to have matters differently, we share the same father. I am a Talon just like you are. And please do not insult my mother because you wouldn’t like how it would end!” Edna retorted and the fire in her eyes was enough to change the air in the room.Despite the cooling system, a hot whiff of air started rolling into it, and in seconds, I could feel the discomfort on everyone’s shoulders.“Enough!” Kelvin roared, slapping his hand over the side of the table. “I would not let you insult me in my own home!”“Oh, on the contrary, you started insulting me and I haven’t even said
