XO ***

Or rather, one decided to stay in the other’s room for the night. “How’s your breathing?” Mordecai asked his ward. “Better.” Xander grins. “I told you, I’m feeling fine, the air here is so much fresher than the Capital’s and the exercise is doing me good!” “But your blood pressure is a bit high, and your temperature...”

The large lonely mansion which oozed nothing but affluence did not only house these money making halls but also had rooms above which caged workers who made this money and the bosses who ruled over them. The workers were members of X-habit, a crime conglomerate whose activities were no lesser than running guns, doing drugs and the like. The Big Four: Steven Chase, Baron Sage, Iphan Carter and Kane Richmond bossed over the conglomerate, with Steven as the head, more of a Godfather.

As soon as he grips the snout, he yanks it to the right, hearing the sickening crack as he breaks its neck. He rolls left, extending his claws and piercing through the underside of the next wolves jaw. He pulls down and out, tearing through the wolf's throat before jumping to his feet and running toward the next enemy. Xander attacks in wolf form, quickly tearing through his enemies as he stays near his mate. Making sure she's safe as she uses her magic. .... Xavier and Damien push themselves faster as they head more toward the Northwest. Xavier desperately trying to reach one of his lead warriors, Timothy.

Xavier told me to be professional with her, to keep things cool and professional, I should avoid meeting her alone or outside the office environment, and lastly, he told me not to bait her into a fight, he insists that if a need like that arises, I should alert both Sly and Jeremy. Yep, Xavier added another security after signing a deal with Xo Com. I think there is something Xavier isn’t telling me about and I intend to find out. I find it strange that he didn’t say anything about Sly that day I met with Aaron, but with the sudden appearance of Jeremy, I hope he isn’t trying to replace him with Sly. I will not have that.

It still had that sick yellow paint and the white on the pillars were beginning to wash off, the painting of a phoenix on the the left side of the building was beginning to fade away a reminder that the one who painted it no longer existed. Taking a deep breath I walk to the door, my hands finding the bell. After two or three rings the door opened with so much force I thought it was going to come off. The one who opened the door had an angry look on her face, her hair looked like a bird's nest, her clothes were so dirty she smelled like alcohol and vomit, black circles underneath her eyes and a cigarette stick in between her lips. "Still drink mama T?" I asked coldly The lady gasped when she

Valerie: Morning sunlight spilled across the terrace, warm and soft against my skin as I stepped outside. The breeze carried the faint scent of pine and fresh earth, the quiet hum of the pack grounds far below. Everything felt calmer now, steadier, like the world had finally exhaled after months of choking tension. “Val.” I turned. Xavier stood in the doorway, dressed in a dark shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms. His eyes, those steady storm-blue eyes, held something different today. A warmth. A nervousness. A spark I hadn’t seen since the very beginning.

"Marcus said—" "Marcus said a lot of things. Most of them lies to protect you. From X. From the truth. From yourself." Chen leaned close. "Samuel Cross was X's first successful Blackstone operative. The prototype. He died when the program went wrong. When the cybernetic enhancements rejected his biology. Marcus kept his name alive in that bunker to make you think there was hope. There is not. There never was. X won forty years ago. Everything since has been epilogue." They loaded us into separate vehicles. I watched Victoria disappear into one van. Albert into another. Hammer, Sienna, everyone scattered.

Xavier said and once more some people yelled out in excitement and thrill. Xavier snapped his fingers and one of the club hostess came forward to him with a small bag which he collected and opened. He then brought out a satchet of the drug with the labeled name on it that read X-1 and raised it up for everyone to see. “Everyone!…. I present to you! The one and only X-1!!!!” Xavier said and raised his hand higher and the people exclaimed in excitement once more as they hoped to get a taste. “I know you all are eager to have a taste of this products, that is why I invited most of you all today” Xavier said and snapped his fingers again and this time around more club hostesses came out all line

Chapter 24: The Butcher of Life Nine ​The rain didn't just fall on Julian; it seemed to avoid him, parting around his frame as if afraid to touch the darkness radiating from his skin. The "Cleanup Team"—six men in tactical grey ceramic armor, wielding high-frequency pulse rifles—halted ten yards from the wreckage. They were professionals, trained to bag supernatural anomalies, but they weren't prepared for the ancient pressure now flattening the grass around the car. ​"Target identified," the lead mercenary barked into his comms. "Dr. Valerius is non-compliant. Engaging with stasis rounds."
