All Chapters of Alpha Xavier: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Xavier:I sat looking at the man who had given me his daughter years ago for an alliance. His eyes meeting mine, studying my expression, wanting to play the game of cards.“I trust that you came here with something to tell me, Marcus.” I said, raising an eyebrow.“Alpha Xavier, I did not think that the two of us weren't on first name basis.” he said, his tone smooth but empty. “I appreciate you seeing me. I would’ve preferred my daughter greeted me first, but I understand she’s… preoccupied. It seems that she has been that way for a while now. I called her but she rarely ever answers.”“She’s fulfilling her duties as Luna,” I replied evenly, folding my hands on the desk. “Which includes ensuring our pack runs as it should. I believe that you have your Luna and would know that.”He smirked faintly, glancing at the door as if expecting her to appear instantly. “Duties,” he repeated. “Yes, I suppose you’d find ways to make her useful. She was never particularly… capable of much else.”Th

Valerie:I didn’t remember walking out of the office.Only the sound of the door slamming behind me.Only the ache in my chest that wouldn’t stop pulsing.I wasn’t sure what hurt more, seeing her half-naked in his office, or realizing that I hadn’t even been surprised.I’d known.Somewhere deep down, I’d always known when she was with him. And yet, here I was… feeling like a fool.By the time I reached the car, the tears had dried on my cheeks. I’d forced my breathing even, straightened my shoulders, and fixed my face back into the Luna mask they all expected. Because breaking down wasn’t going to help me. Not here.“Mrs. Valerie… I will inform Maxine of your arrival.” One of the other lawyers said, and I hummed in response as she dialed Maxine’s number.“She is already expecting me, you don’t need to worry.” I said, walking toward the office.Maxine was already waiting when I got to her. She was sitting behind her desk, glasses low on her nose, scanning through some documents when I

Valerie:The restaurant shimmered with quiet luxury, polished wood, soft candlelight, and laughter muffled by clinking glasses. Every table was filled with Alphas and Lunas, packs mingling under a fragile peace that could break with one wrong word.Some of the other tables had businessmen. Human. But these were neutral grounds, and wolves have long co-existed with humans.I looked at Xavier and he smiled, silently assuring me that everything was going as planned. I smiled, silently encouraging him.To anyone watching, Xavier and I were perfection. The untamed lovers who managed to find common grounds despite everything that could have been against them. Truth be told, I still found it in myself to wonder how we had managed throughout these years.To the world, we were the Alpha and his Luna, seated side by side, every move choreographed. His hand rested lightly on the back of my chair, our shoulders brushing as we leaned forward to speak with the others.I smiled when expected, nodded

Annalise:The door opened without a knock. It was already unlocked. I kept it as so for him to come and see me the way that I was dressed for him.The red silk dress reached just above my thighs, exposing my whole body to him, but he seemed to pay me no attention. I wanted to walk to him, I wanted him to acknowledge my presence, but nothing. It was as if I was not there. Or if anything goes as if his mind was not with me.Xavier’s presence filled the room long before he crossed the threshold, calm, dark, deliberate. It was addicting to me and I wanted to enjoy every moment of it because I knew that it was too good to last. He rarely ever stayed for long.“I will go and get you a drink. I can assume that you need one.” I said, my voice was teasingly low. Again, there was no reaction.When I finally turned, he was already there, shirtless, the dim light catching the lines of muscle across his chest. A small smile formed on my lips as I approached him, handing him a glass of wine. He loo

Xavier:The drive to the outskirts of the pack lands was quiet.Valerie sat beside me, her gaze fixed on the window. Morning light danced across her profile, calm, distant, unreadable.I remembered when the two of us first started coming here. It started when the two of us were just married and I remembered how happy she was whenever we were coming to the ocean.When we reached the orphanage, the moment we stepped out, the air changed.Everything felt lighter. Gentle. And kinder, more humane.Dozens of young wolves, some still toddlers, others were infants in their cribs… but everyone seemed happy as they played in the open field, their laughter echoing against the hills. The scent of fresh grass and ash mixed with faint traces of the past, wolves who’d lost their families in border raids or rogue attacks, now learning to live under my pack’s protection. They were learning that they were safe and no longer alone, regardless of may be feeling, so I knew that I would be sure to keep the
