POV: HeatherIt wasn’t that bad, you know. I felt it was a bit strange that visitors as important as the lycans are not allowed into the school premises. I wonder if Xander is aware of this, I’m not even sure that this order came from the Alpha. I saw him last night, he is too scared of Xander to try something so stupid.“Get in quickly, Heather Snow. You can’t be seen loitering around the entrance, it could affect your final results. Don’t you know that you are late already?” An admin scolded me as she walked past us to resume her duties. She is so right, I’ll get in trouble if I'm seen out here when lectures are going on in my class.“Did you hear that, Heather Snow?” Vinnie asked, repeating my name with a disgusting look, acting as if my name was making her want to gag.“So are you going to go on like a good girl, or do you plan to ruin your perfect record by ditching classes and loitering around when others are learning.Come on, girl. I dare you to leave. Be a chicken and run alo

POV: XanderI felt guilty for locking her in like a fucking slave. I would never treat a slave that way, let alone a woman I claim to love so much. I was supposed to spend the day with her, but I’m too upset to be near her now. Hearing her thoughts and finding out that she was thinking about that little boy made me so upset with her. If only she could tell me how she managed to get entangled with that guy, maybe I can offer some suggestions on how she can get away from him without causing problems for her foster mom, Marietta.But she is so damn stubborn. She won’t trust me with her secrets, even if her life depended on it. I’ve done everything I could to make her trust me. Like, how difficult is that?I just left the room before I got angrier than I already am. But I started feeling guilty when Perseus kept nagging at me, complaining about the way I treated our mate. He wanted me to go back to her and listen to her explanation. But I just can’t go back and listen to her as she keeps

POV: Xander“Put your son on a very tight leash, Alpha. The next time he dares to defy my orders, I’ll fucking kill him. And I’ll make sure you are punished as an accomplice because these idiots are obviously following your footsteps. You have zero regard for the throne. That is why you have refused the king's order to assist me in my investigations.Now, I have no issues with you, trust me, I’m cool. I can do my job with or without your assistance. But I need you to keep your spies away from my path and stay the fuck away from me. I’m done playing nice with you all. Next time I won’t hesitate, I’ll kill your son and anyone else that stands in my way or dares to challenge me.” I threatened angrily, hanging up on the stupid Alpha.Can you believe this guy?To think that I held back from killing his son for this very reason, and here he is, trying to use my actions against me. I got a call from the bastard as I drove home, when I saw his name on the caller ID, I knew he had been informe

POV: Heather“I need a sexy outfit that Xander would love,” I blurted out without thinking, causing the girls to laugh out loudly.“See who is falling in love with the prince,” Marietta lets out teasingly, making them laugh out loudly as they both teased me continuously.“Come on, Marie, I’m not playing around. He’s obviously so pissed off at me. I’ve tried apologizing, but he just wouldn’t listen to anything I say. Maybe if I offer myself on a platter of gold, then he will take me seriously again.” I responded sadly, thinking of the silent treatment he has been giving me since he saved me.“Offering yourself on a platter will not be the best idea, Heath. I think he needs some time to get over it. You gave him quite a scare, you know. He was so scared and worried about you, did you know he killed two guards at the gate just to get to you?He broke his promise to his father and offended the Alphas that are supposed to help him crack this case. I know he doesn’t blame you for his mistak

POV: Heather“I’m sorry Xan, I didn’t know you had other plans for the night,” I let out sarcastically, moving to leave his arms. But he held me back, holding me firmly in place to stop me from moving. He still had his eyes on me, and by this time he couldn’t glare anymore. The anger seems to have disappeared from his face and he’s staring at me in a way that made me feel special.It’s as I’m still staring into Pegasus eyes, but no, it’s Xander's eyeballs I’m looking into. And I find warmth in them as he gazes at me with feelings I can’t really explain at this moment. You would think that Vinnie suddenly disappeared from the room, leaving us alone again. But that is far from the truth, she is standing right there, staring at us with venom in her eyes. And Xander doesn’t seem to care about her presence, although it’s making me a little uncomfortable. If I try to move or make an attempt to leave, he glares at me, forcing me to stay still under him and just look into his eyes. Next unhea
