"What? What did I just hear you say dad?" I ask pretending to have not heard what my dad just said even though I heard him very clear enough for it to stick in my memory. "Larissa, it is for the best." Mum mumbles besides me. I scoot away from her. As a matter of fact, I can no longer take it. I rise to my feet and gaze at mum with a surprised look on my face. I refuse to believe what I just heard, I would rather just live in denial."I really do not understand what you guys are talking about there." I pause to choke out a hysteric laughter and continue. "This must be a prank? A joke right? You people are joking right?" I yell with anger fuming in me. I scoff and run a hand through my hair while pacing the small space.This is unbelievable. I knew something was off between mum and dad the moment they wanted me to return back to Hiddensville, the Moonfang pack as a matter of fact. That moment I knew something was wrong because mum and dad do not care about me and whatever I do so for

I slowly flutter my eyes open and although my eyesight is a bit blurry, I can see the unfamiliar white rooftop with no crack on it. Where am I? I suddenly a feel a throbbing headache causing me to wince in pain. I rub my forehead and shut my eyes close for a brief moment. I snap my eyes back open when I hear a familiar hoarse voice. That voice belongs to no one other than Xavier himself. How could I ever forget his voice even after those years of not seeing him or hearing from him? His voice remains forever in my head. I release a heavy and slowly rise up to my feet. Wait, where am I? Do not tell me mum and dad actually sold me off to Xavier without letting me spend just the night at their place. I place my hand over my mouth to stop myself from crying out loud and I bite my lower lip to hold back the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes."Why did you touch her you fucking retard?" I hear Xavier yell loudly. A slamming noise comes alongside his harsh tone and I am tempted to open

Tides moved the war room in a weird halfway-to-the-moon light, making the glass accidental reflections of steel. There were the flares of a lighted fire, and its shadows danced uneasily on maps, scrolls, and the stiff figure of Xavier. ‎He was standing with his arms crossed behind his back and looking at the border map as though it contained answers to some questions he had not dared to pose. His physical form was here, motionless. Yet war was not in his mind, territory disputes and patrol shifts were not what was occupying him. ‎ "Larissa." he mumbled ‎A zombie, a flesh-resurrected ghost. A name that rang reminding him like a scar in his chest. ‎He had chiseled her right out of his life as sharp as a knife when he knew that it was his only hope to save her. ‎And now--now his wound bled anew. ‎The door which was behind him creaked open. ‎It was a voice, low and sweet as melted winter-honey, and it said, saucily, You have been dodging me. ‎He made no turn. "I have been b

The hall was a bomb about to go off--still, but with the promise of eruption in it. Motion was still. Selene held us in a queen of thorns, with curled lips. It was a cool shot, on her part, her red dress--which equalled in ceremonial crimson my own, only that hers was self-chosen. Owned. It was like a burial-cloth to mine. Beside her Alpha Kai was a statue of motionlessness. He had not stirred, but he sank perfume of his presence into the room in the manner of smoke, visited the hearts of all the doers there. A short, shallow breathe burst out of me. My hand was lying in that of Xavier but felt as well as it was tied to a stone. His hand did not tremble, but I caught the vibration through the flesh. Xavier with his growl “Kai,” his voice was husky enough to make the pavement of marble beneath our feet vibrate. “You’re trespassing. This not your pack. This is not where you belong to.” “I was invited, said Kai calmly, Dangerously by someone with greater right than you.” He looked

Larissa POV Warmth.The first thing I experienced upon waking up was that. My face was lying against something solid but soft. The steady rhythm of a heartbeat against my ear supported me in telling it that I was in Xavier chest. My arm had an exported ownership around me and even in sleep; he held me as an anchor.His smell, wild pine, fresh earth, something darker, trickled into my skin as it was a part of me.I did not want to move away. Not now. Not when he was breathing steadily, his lips closed saving a little, an unusual softness on his normally closed face. I indulged a self indulgent moment and cremated him in silence.Then his hand walked slowly over my naked back. “how long you are going to pretend to be asleep?”, he said in a husky voice.A blush came into my cheeks. “You must have known?”“You had a circle drawn on my chest,” he smirked and still kept his eyes closed.I give a gentle laugh. “You're warm.” “You are warm also, he turned and drew me beside him. And mine.”
