Dad has been hospitalized for a few months now and Aisha and Mom were back home. Life had become unbearable for me since they came back. My mom's hatred for me started when I transformed for the first time and since then she has been feeding me with different poisons to subdue my wolf. After all this years of not wolfing out, she stopped the injections thinking Mia had died. I never had fun since my childhood because of them not until Dad came back from his business trip. Most of my birthdays were terrible without Dad so I never looked forward to celebrating it without him. This year, he has been hospitalized but he still wants me to celebrate without him. On that fateful day, I dressed my self in an Emerald green gown that he had gotten for me a month ago while Aisha wore a red gown
Lot of misconceptions took place before and after the party and as a result I was forced to leave the house for my own piece of mind. I had no place to go . I became a refugee in my own country. With the little money I had, I was able to secure an apartment and continue thriving to be successful. I never told Dad of anything in fear that be would die as a result of shock so I left the matter like that. Despite my attempt to please my mom and sister, they still sort to take my life because I was worthless. It was on this occassion that I ran into Lynam.
****LYNAM POV****
I was surprised to find Xanthe roaming around at the twilight of the day. She looked so scared to the point of fainting in my arms. It was then I realized that she might be in danger . Immediately, I picked her up and carried her home. She looked so peaceful while she slept and I found myself being drawn to her and the thought of making her my contract bride again came to me. On getting home, I laid her down in the room opposite mine and asked the maid to take care of her. She was unconscious for three days and I felt sorry for her. I would come back home early just to check up on her. It felt as if she was dead. On the fourth day while getting ready for work, a maid informed me that she was awake. I immediately went to see her and she gave me a questioning look.
****XANTHE'S POV****
Lynam was the last person I wanted to see at that moment. So I guess I have to run away from him too. I was too traumatized by everything to even know what happened and now the devil is standing right in front of me. The first thing I managed to ask was what am I doing here. And how long have I been asleep. His answer left me speechless.
**** LYNAM POV****
Hearing her nagging voice gave me some form of peace and in a way I wanted to protect her from harm. But her question made me angry. She has already made me an enemy in her mind so any explanation I give her would be useless. I had to compose myself and ask everyone to leave the room before I gave i answers. Seeing her hatred towards me really hurt me so I had to restrain my self from hurting her. Instead of answering her question, I just told her Good morning and fed her breakfast. She was reluctant to eat but when I told her she has been asleep in my house for Three days, she had no other option than to eat.
****XANTHE'S POV****
After having breakfast, I began to think of ways to run away from Lynam. He was to come home late that day so I had to get of his house before he arrives. Climbing out the window, I was caught by a guard. But after series of pleading, he decided to let me go. I ran as fast as my leg could carry and finally I left the damn county for good. I would surely miss Dad a whole lot but I couldn't live together with Lynam. He might decide to kill me
****LYNAM POV****
It's been two weeks since Xanthe ran away and I couldn't find her. With each passing day, I grow restless without her. I wanted to make her mine forever even if I know she hated me. Now, she ran away without any hints and it's driving me nuts. I even put the best FBI agents out there to look for her but to no avail. I've never cared for anyone in my entire life but here I am trying to find a girl who I hardly know.
