XAVIERWhile I cleaned her and tucked her safely into the covers, I was reminded just how fragile she actually is.Right now it’s hard to look away from her. She’s radiant. Fucking glowing, like the sun itself merged with her. She’s smiling, humming and off key song to herself, breezing around my office with two case files in her hands. She’s stunning like this. I forgot I had work, opting instead to admire her. All damn day I’ve been distracted, a distraction I welcomed with open arms. She’s happy. That alone makes my heart feel tight. My Rune, my mate. Mine. Suddenly, she halted and turned to me. Her brows slanted down and the brilliance of her face dimmed. “Mr Creighton? Is everything okay? You’re a bit pale,”“I’m alright, don’t mind me. Did you find what you were looking for?”“There’s no one here but us. You don’t look well. Does it still hurt?”“Baby, I’m fine. I swear it. It’s nothing for you to worry about.”Now her smile is gone. The sparkles floating around her are gon

RUNEXavier is acting strange. That is saying a lot, because I’ve never seen him anything less than professional and...upright?I can’t tell what it is. He doesn’t seem like the kind of man to fall sick easily. Although...all humans are susceptible to sudden illness. It’s not like he’s a superhuman who never falls sick.Groaning, I hit backspace on my keyboard till the ten lines of text I’d halfheartedly keyed in vanished. I looked up, half expecting to see Xavier seated across the room. Then I remembered that I was in my private office.“This isn’t working,” one night of sex and I’m attached to him. But I am attached to him. I do want him. I want to see him and know how he’s doing and throw my arms around him and kiss him till we’re both breathless and gasping for dear oxygen.The mere thought had heat swamping my stomach, and I pressed my thighs together, a soft sigh leaving my lips.Fuck. It’s a work day. Everyone out there is working hard on this case, and I’m thinking about fuck

RUNE"Come, sit in my lap." His voice left no room for argument. My cheeks flushed. Shyly, I walked closer to him and sat in his lap, my arms hooked around his neck like a lifeline. He buried his face in my neck, breathing in my scent, his hands tracing up my sides and down to my hips.“Fuck, I missed you,” he groaned, his voice tensed.I held him, biting back a moan. “I was so worried. I thought you’d actually come down with something because of me.”“Something like rabies?”I yanked my head back and met his eyes. One look confirmed he was joking. Huffing, I slapped his arm. “I’m serious,”“I made you worry,” he said, his nose finding my neck. “You smell so good...”I checked his collar, where I was sure to find that nasty bite mark. It was there, although it looked less nasty and more like...a tattoo? It was beautiful, black, like swirling ink. Also, when did my teeth form two sharp points? Just to be sure, I ran my tongue over my teeth. Yup, flat. Normal. Like basic human teeth.

RUNEHow does life go from zero to one million? One moment, we were in the middle of a high stakes war room preparing for the case of the year, next I’m getting dressed in black to attend a funeral.“Hey,” a voice came behind me.I screamed, jumping two feet in the air. Leaning against the door frame was Marcella, looking drop dead gorgeous in a long black gown and elaborate hat.“You scared me! How did you get in?” I questioned, clasping my hand over my racing heart.She rolled her eyes. “I have a key? One that you so kindly bequeathed upon me?”Oh right, I almost forgot.“Okay then what are you doing here?” I faced my vanity mirror, applying a swipe of strawberry flavored lip gloss over my lips. My intention was not Xavier tasting it later. Absolutely not. Deeming myself fit, I rose to my feet and faced her.“I’m your chauffeur,” she said with a grin. “My goodness, you look exhausted. That place sucked you dry, didn't it?”“You could say so. Now the client is dead,”“You say that

RUNEI gasped, stumbling back. Marcella caught me in time, her voice drowned out in the background.The man turned his full attention to me. From the distance, his eyes were pools of darkness. I couldn’t make out his features, but deep down, I felt like I knew him. Xavier noticed his attention on me and turned too. Then he seemed to be explaining something to the man, all while his eyes remained trained on me.“You okay?” Marcella asked, touching my neck. “You’re scared,”“Y-yes I...I’m fine,” i said, swallowing thickly.The man finally turned to Xavier and bowed. He said something, smiled, and walked away into a waiting limousine.Xavier walked back, our eyes met.His were blazing gold. He looked furious, like he was barely containing his anger. I tried to smile and failed, my lips forming a grimace instead. He inhaled, then returned my smile. A small tilt upwards of his lips, one meant only for me. My heart fluttered. I wished I could say something to him, anything at all. But eac

RUNEMarcella never fails to amaze me. No. Of course not. I’ve seen the signs. But I ignored all of them. Now, my heart is racing and I’m scared. Her words are so cold. So heavy. Without a doubt, she means them. I used to think they were just jokes, dark humour, but I don’t think she’s joking anymore. A lowlife. The way she says it makes me wonder if she’ll call Xavier the same thing when she finds out. I don’t want to think of what I’ll do if she does that. Swinging my legs off the table, I rose to my feet and scrambled for my clothes. “I’m leaving. This was supposed to be relaxing but no! Of course fucking not!”"Rune,""Don't! Don't even call me!"“Baby, I’m sorry. Come back, okay? I didn’t mean anything I said.”“You’re lying!” I grabbed my underwear and threw them on hastily, not even bothering to make sure they looked good. I faced her, she was still on the bed, her pose like that of a goddess in a renaissance painting. She’s so fucking beautiful. It makes me feel strang

RUNEOh Anslem, pick up! You can’t drop such a bomb on me and vanish! What did he mean by they want to kill him?! Who’s they!! What’s going on?!I called again and again. The sun went down and the street turned dark. I called more than ten times. Nothing. Dead silence on the other side. I hate Anslem for what he did to me. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for cheating on me. But that doesn’t mean I want him dead! Or in trouble! I just want him to see me happy without him! All the tension Madam Julia worked out of my muscles came back ten million times stronger. “Are you done?” Marcella asked, her tone bored, her expression irritated. “Go to the steak house alone. I’m going to look for him.” I rushed to the edge of the street, hailing down a taxi. “Rune! Get back here!”I ignored her cries, whispering a silent prayer to the heavens. I didn’t even know what I was praying for.Deep in my gut, I felt it. The undeniable feeling that something was wrong. The ride to Anslem’s apart

RUNEI screamed and dropped the photograph. At the same time I lost my balance, falling on my ass. What…what the hell?!Calm down. Calm down. It’s not like it’s my Rune…it’s a common name. There’s a lot of people named Rune. Thousands. Maybe this is Anslem’s friend, or something like that. A sound came behind me, cutting off my internal rambling. Shivers slithered down my spine. Someone was here with me!I rushed to my feet and grabbed the closest object I could find, which happened to be a picture frame on top of the desk. The sound came from outside the door. The door I had left open!I waited, sweat rolling down my temple, praying it was someone I could easily overpower. A tiny thing pattered into the room. Small, white, looking extremely frail. “Oh,” I exhaled with relief. Thank goodness it wasn’t a person. I would have peed myself!The small dog spotted me and began whining, making its way over to me. It crashed into my legs, rubbing its head against my pant leg. I didn’

XAVIER Don't ask questions. Rune looked like she'd been dragged through ten natural disasters and forced to give a speech. The guilt in her eyes tugged on my heart, and could only mean one thing. I didn't want to think about it. Or ask her about it. Instead, I took her hand and led her to my car. Barely ten seconds later, she was out cold. The dog in her arms stared at me with pitiful brown eyes. It made a permanent noise of discomfort in its throat.Where did she get it from? It doesn't smell like a stray. I sighed, rubbing my aching temples. This can't be good at all. What could have made her go to a police station so late at night?I leaned over, adjusting her legs so she wouldn't wake up with aches, even though the backseat wasn't the most comfortable. The dog burrowed into her arms, watching me with fearful eyes. Her purse fell over, its contents spilling over the floor. Two photographs fell out. One of them answered my questions. The other raised even more. I picked up t

XAVIER"I didn't know what to do. It all happened so fast and I…I panicked. And I ran. I know I said I wouldn't do that anymore but it's so fucking hard and I can't stop it. I can't just stop."I watched her. She looked on the verge of tears, barely biting them back. I'm not angry at her. I can't be angry at her. The photographs came back to my mind. That guy. The man and woman. The writing. The runes. The runes. Right now, my girl is struggling to understand what she just found out. She's confused, she's hurt. And I'm not making things any easier for her. I rubbed my temples, sighing to myself. "You should eat first," I plated her food and set it before her. "Drink some water,""Xavier," she grabbed my wrist, her hand trembling. "I'm really sorry. I know I say it a lot but I mean. I'm sorry I made you worried, and I ran again.""Eat," I kissed her forehead. "We'll talk after you're done.""But—""Eat.""O-okay," She said and picked up her forced. She didn't eat immediately, pu
