Xavier.
His face was red in anger, his breath became ragged.Black veins started to emerge on his arms skin.
Damien groaned. "Who the hell are you??!!"
"I'm hers." he said in another growl.
Damien laughed cynically. "I'm hers too. So?"
Xavier snarled lowly, before his once beautiful golden eyes turned entirely black. He suddenly straighten his ready-to-pounce position earlier, and unclenched his fists.
In a blink of an eye, he was gone.
And appeared beside Damien, one sharp claw was pointed to his neck.
"What did you say?" his voice now become so deep and rough, holding every danger possible, shaking her to the core.
This is not the Xavier she knows. The Xavier she knows is gentle, and how angry he is, he will never harm anyone.
Then, who is this?
Xavier smirked, and sliced Damien's right arm.He screamed in agony.
Blood oozing out of the wound, covering the ground in a puddle.
What the heck??!
She was gaping at the scene unfolded, eyes wide and heart beating in fear.
Suddenly murmurings was heard.
"Who is it?"
"What happened?"
"There's blood!"
"Eh, where's that black smoke come from?"
"Is he Prince Arksna?"
"Really???"
"So, the rumors are true?"
"Poor that guy.. He's gonna die."
"Daniella, what happened??" Daniel came to her side.But she keeps silence.
"Stop uncle Harry from coming here. He's gonna have a heart attack." she said.
"I know. Ezequiel handled it.What happened?" Daniel asked again. But she just shakes her head.
The wound is so deep and quite large. And it only with his f*cking finger! One finger! If the claw manage to get to his neck, Damien sure will....
No, this can't happen. Xavier will be in a lot of trouble later if someone knows about this. She still couldn't trust Damien fully. It is possible he will know who actually Xavier is and do something to turn the table on his side.
"Xavier.." she called him, but her voice sounded weak, trembling even.
She's not gonna deny she is terrified now.But, she have to prevent anything worse that could happen. No matter how scared she is. Isn't that what she always do before?
"Xavier." her voice came out stronger than she thought.
He tilted his head toward her for a second, before he looked back at the bloody Damien on the ground, smirks sinisterly.
It didn't work. As if he couldn't hear her clearly, or anyone. As if it wasn't him who control his body now.
Thank god it was dark now, and other people was quite far from the bloody scene. Or else, they gonna saw his black eyes and face. She couldn't risk the possibility of someone might recognise him.
She gathered up her courage and stepped forward to him. But a hand stopped her.
"What the hell are you doing, Xav???!! It's dangerous! I'll go!" Before she couldn't stop her brother, he's already walked toward Xavier and stopped beside him.
"Xavier."
Xavier didn't even budge for a moment, before he turned suddenly toward Daniel, so fast that all she saw was a blur. And the next moment, she heard the scream of pain from her brother.
"Xandro!" she shrieked,running toward Daniel.
Two wounds of claws on his chest, so many blood was flowing out, and now she feels like she's gonna cry.
"Xandro." she called breathlessly.He groaned in response.
Someone come to her side, kneeled beside her wounded brother. "I've got him, mistress."
She looked at Ezequiel, smiling thankfully at him.
But suddenly Ezequiel screamed and slumped to the side.
"Opps. "a playful voice followed after. Xavier was on her side, glaring daggers with his terrifying black eyes. Black veins now have emerged on his forehead, make him looks extremely dangerous and terrifying. Black smoke surrounding him become thicker than before.
She had enough.
" Xavier. "her voice was firm. Waves after waves of confidence and strength came rushing in her body suddenly, and she couldn't care less about her own safety.
He looks at her, tilted his head to the side, as if studying her. His angry and crazy expression earlier turned confused,before it became excited, like a kid who found his favourite toy.
As if he realised something, he looks at the wounded bodies around him. And then to her back. Before tilting his head to the side again.Like a boy caught eating snacks sneakily.
If this is not a tense atmosphere now, she would laugh. She swears he looks like a puppy now.
The black veins on his forehead was gone, but the ones on his arms still there. Aura around him soften somehow, as he looks at her, full of interest.
A crack sounded behind him, and like a puppy his sensitive ears quickly perked up, snapping his head to the direction.
A man in the mid action of walking froze behind him, looking at the scene. The man planned to escape earlier, fearing maybe he will be the next victim. But now....
Xavier was ready to lunge toward the man, but Daniella's voice stopped him.
"Enough, Xavier."
He turned his head toward her again.
"Come here." she urged, waving her hand.
Xavier didn't move, but after a moment he started to approach her slowly.
"Xav, no!" Daniel warned, his voice strained, still in pain.
Xavier growls at him and she lunged forward.
"Xavier." she didn't look at her brother. Just focusing on the problem at hand.
Can't her brother see she's got this?
She slowly reached for his hand, and stepped closer to him.
Xavier's body relaxed the moment she touched him,and she become bolder when she put her hand on his cheek.
He leaned to her touch.
He is looking at her now, but she could see his mind elsewhere.
"You, naughty guy." she smiled. "Where's my Xavier?" she speaks softly.
But his eyes turned hard. He growled. "I'm your Xavier."
Oh, shes got to be careful. One wrong thing,and she is doomed.
"Of course, you're my Xavier." she smiled sweetly again.
He just looks at her silently,waiting for her to speak.
This Xavier is quite tough to handle.
"My Xavier.." she caressed his cheek with her fingers, so gently that he closed his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, they were gold again.
"Xavia?" his voice sounded confused.
Realization came to him when he heard voices.
He frantically turned his head and looked around, looking horrified.
"I d—did that, didn't I?" he asked, his voice cracking. This never happened in front of people. So many people watching him. Before, he's facing this alone. But now... And her.... his mate too has saw him. The dark side of his. Will she hate him now?
He didn't dare to look at her, afraid that he couldn't handle the hatred her eyes will holding.
He waited for her wrath, or disgust, and he never expect her warmth suddenly enveloping him.
She hugged him.
SHE HUGS ME!
"It's okay." She cooed.
He was taken aback for a moment,quite surprise with the unexpected reaction from her, before he relaxed, and wrapped his arms around her,hugging her back.
"I'm sorry." he whispered.He really is sorry, and nothing he could do to prevent this dreaded event from happen.
But... no one died?

A pair of dark red eyes was there watching the scene from the very beginning. He never thought he was so lucky to found it while he was on his hunt,and that's it in a pure coincidence.
My my,isn't this interesting?
He might have found the one he was looking for since 6 years ago, and now, he won't let it slipped away again.
He is excited.
He smirked, revealing a fang, shining in the moonlight.
"I've found you~"
