XAVIERLooking at her small frame laying in bed, I sighed deeply. I had spent the entire day away and I didn't know what form of hardships she had endured during the day, how she had been able to get around, if she had nightmares again or if her father or mine had come to see her. It wasn't my fault. Very early this morning, my father had sent me a mindlink, saying that he and Gabriel were in a meeting and that they needed me there. At first, I thought it was a trap because they had already had many meetings and all of a sudden, they wanted me there for this particular one? I didn't say anything, sliding out quietly to meet them. The same way, I slid into bed and carried her to rest on my chest. My little strong baby. “I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you today. I wish there was something I could have done about it. I hope you didn't suffer.”The entire meeting has been about their tactics of advancing to Silas’ territory to confront his father and possibly bring him back as a p

XAVIER“I would rather die than let them take her over there. That would be like bringing the sacrifice right into the lion's den.”Falcon nodded. “What do we do now? Left to them, they would take action immediately. We have to stop them if we actually want to do something.”I opened my mouth to say something when a thought crossed my mind. I am the son of my father, he trained me which means that he would always be one step ahead of me, whatever thing I want to think about, he has already thought about it. Grabbing Falcon's hand, I dragged her out of the room and into the pavilion. “What? Why didn't we talk there?” “He has the room bugged. I just know it. I can't prove it. What about the spy we send over to their pack? Have we found out anything yet?” She shook her head. “Nothing yet. The mindlink isn't going through. I just don't want to think that something is wrong.”Well, there was no way they would have found out about it so there was no need to freak out for now. “What i

XAVIERWhat was that sound? I jumped out of bed, confused at which corner to run to. Mia didn't wake up, which was surprising. My heart thud loudly in my chest and I looked for my shirt and pulled it over my head, heading for the door handle. Before I could reach it, the door swung open and Falcon stood there, wide eyed and breathing heavily. “What the hell is going on?” “You really should come downstairs.” Since it was dark, it made it really hard to see the ground in front of me and the loud alarm blared loudly through the house. Guards ran in different directions and the sound of their hard-heeled boots against the floor gave the illusion of a thousand soldiers running around the house. “There seems to be an explosion in the south wing.”The south wing? That's the dungeon. As we walked down the stairs, smoke rose high and we had to cover our noses due to the thickness. I grabbed the arm of one of the guards that was running past me. “What on earth is going on?” “One of t

MIAI took one last glance at their faces as they moved away from the area and turned back to the party. How was I going to warn everyone here? They needed to go, they needed to run for their lives. There wasn't enough time for me to say something and I needed to look for a way to get the news to them. But it was too late. Wolves emerged from the trees, their huge forms being shielded by the night and no matter how loudly I screamed, it wasn't enough to warn them about the impending danger. By the time they noticed them, it was already too late. They ran for their safety but it was too late. They had already taken control. Piercing screams echoed through the night as chairs and tables became vacant. Everyone scurried away, fearing for their lives as wolves grabbed who they could find with their bare teeth, tearing them to pieces. Tears welled in my eyes as I stood there, not being able to do anything but watch my own people drop to the ground and our population decline right be

MIAI knew when they came back into the compound. That was because I had been standing by the window, staring out into the sky. I hadn't slept a wink all night. After my conversation with Xavier's father yesterday, how could I get any sleep? My eyes remained sharp open all night and several thoughts filled my head and heart. Was this the right thing to do? Would Xavier be happy with me for going ahead with it? His father had already told me that he knew about it and he didn't want to do it but if I volunteered, there was nothing he could do. It would be for the best. All I had to do was hope that nothing went wrong, because if it did, I would have myself to blame. No one else. Before he came to the room, I was already back in bed and the sun had risen, only this time around, I didn't pretend to be asleep. I wanted to talk to him about my decision as quickly as possible and of course, he had the reaction I expected. “What?” He jumped out of the bed as if it caught on fire. “
