Xavier's POV
Everything seemed to stand still when I saw her shift in front of me. She shifted into the most beautiful and majestic wolf I have ever seen. My mate that I never thought I would get happened to be beaten and bruised and happened to enter my park borders without any detection. And now I am seeing her turn into a wolf in front of my very eyes.
I saw the fear before she felt it, when she checked her body and saw that she wasn't in a human form. I never told her about my composition, mainly to keep her away from my world and also for selfish reasons.
And now I watch as she pushed me so hard I hit the nearby wall so hard. So hard that if I was human I would have broken something. I quickly mind linked my beta and my sister to chase after her before she went far. They were confused because I didn't tell them anything other than they should get her.
I can't believe I couldn't detect that she was a wolf. I thought her scent was weird but I ruled it as maybe the place she was coming from.
I regained composure and chased after my mate that seemed to like running from me. I shifted into my wolf quickly and joined the chase. I caught sight of Logan's and my sister's wolves. Logan's being a light brown lean wolf with the speed of a cheetah. He is the fastest wolf in the entire werewolf community and there is no one that has been able to beat him. He can match the speed of the blood suckers if he wants.
My sister's wolf is the smallest wolf in the entire pack but don't let looks deceive you, she can render a giant paralyzed in seconds and you won't even know what happened or how it happened.
She is a black wolf with a speck of brown at her sides. People say it is because I was born a lycan that was why she was given a smaller wolf compared to others.
We ran at full speed towards my supposed mate, my heart pounding with hope, praying she doesn't cross the border.
And like some kind of remote setting, she stopped immediately. She was looking at a particular spot on the ground as if it was going to help her, we were still running towards her when we got close enough.
I ordered everyone to stop. Don't want anyone tackling my mate.
And then the bones snapping. I heard it before she even felt it and my heart broke with every snap I heard.
I mindlinked someone to get a towel fast and rushed to her as she shifted back to her human self all on her own.
She looked so ethereal as she shifted back. Light falling from her. Her eyes glowing pure white as her golden skin shone.
The light was so bright , everyone covering their eyes and me soaking in her glory. She looks like an angel….no, she is an angel. An angel blessing us in her glory.
The light drew me in. Even when we were young. Her light has always kept me from going over the edge. Quite literally too.
I went closer to her just in time she shifted, her body light on my own as she fell from the stress of the events of today.
Her eyes fluttered with a warm and weak smile on her face.
"I missed you, ZuZu"
My heart raced at the use of the name that started from her. Yeah, Logan and Piper use it a lot, even though I keep telling them to stop. Memories of us together and her beautiful mischievous smiles as she used the name while I chase after her, memories that have been locked away for a while. At the back of my head.
Now that I know why she left in the first place, an indescribable amount of rage poured through my veins. At my parents for meddling, at her for not bother fighting and at myself for not fighting.
A towel was passed to me and I wrapped her up with it. Carrying her bridal style as I walk to my cottage located at the very back of the village and the closest to the forest.
Being Alpha King is great and all but all I just want to do sometimes is just be alone without hearing anyone call me 24/7 for the smallest of matters. And the big matters make my spine stiff…. Sometimes I wouldn't be able to even move my neck.
I grew up in the town house. An acre long mansion with more rooms than a resort. The house has been in the town for centuries….it is more of a castle than anything but I later call it a town house because I didn't want it to feel too intimidating. My Father did a lot of things that I won't call humane. He only cared about power and that brought a lot of fear to the people. I had that fear too once. Now all I feel is rage.
Especially because I shifted way too early in life and it brought about a lot of castings and fucked up responsibilities and basically no one.
My sister had to go to training and Logan was just a passerby then. Another wolf in training in the pack.
Silvia was my only lifeline then and she took left.
I got to my place. Logan opens the door for me and Piper hot on my heels making sure Silvia's is alright and asking too many questions that I have to answer or she won't leave me alone.
I remember when we all used to be together. When we would laugh and play and just be kids. Now we all have all these responsibilities and underlying misunderstandings that need to be cleared up.
I am very sure Silvia has faced a lot since she left. It is written all over her body.
She might leave again and I might never fully heal from her leaving but I am willing to try if it is to get just one second of her smile again.
I touched my lips to her forehead. I missed her and she will definitely attack me when she wakes up.
I just need her to wake up first so we can talk.
Right now, I have things to deal with and a future to secure. Things to find out and people to kill. Because no one touches my mate without consequences.
