20 Chapter 20: (1/2)

I sat there, watching all the pack members enjoy their day as the children run around and play with each other. Xenon's weight beside me pressed into my side while she slept soundly and held onto me tightly.

It felt wonderful to have her near me once again.

It took a long time to draw her out of her hiding place.

I was a little surprised when she didn't come out of it when I faked my engagement, curious if that drew her out. Though it didn't which made me think I would never see her again, Ajax has been pus.h.i.+ng her for the last few months for me.

And here she is.

His plans worked in the end.

She came out.

”Ah, there you are. I see that our plan is working so far.” Ajax nods to Xenon who was still pa.s.sed out while I smiled and nodded.

”I was starting to doubt you, man. Thanks for this. Even if she doesn't want anything to do with me, this is enough for me.” I thank him, holding her close to my body as he chuckles at me and stuffed his hands into his pockets.

”Trust me. If you're patient with her, she'll go back to you without a doubt.” Ajax a.s.sures me, patting my shoulder before walking off towards his pregnant mate and little girl.

I couldn't help but thank my best friend for helping me.

He was my inside guy as well as Alex, they were the perfect inside people.

Now I've got my mate with me once again and I have to keep a close eye on her if I want to be with her.

That man she was with last night said something about her home and that he needed her help with the job. Something about the man made me cautious which was the reason I followed and stayed with her during her whole trial.

If I didn't she could have been hurt by those a.s.sa.s.sins, though I could tell she was holding her anger back which told me several things about her.

One.

She's had some pent-up anger directed towards the people who sent her to the league and she wants revenge.

Two.

From how she's been handling herself, she is trying to control the anger and place it in something she does best. Kill.

Three.

She's ashamed to kill in front of anyone other than Ajax. He's told me that she would only knock the person out and not kill them. But back in the day, she would murder people like no tomorrow.

I sighed, trying to figure her out as Xenon s.h.i.+fted her hood to hide from the sun that was peaking through the tree above us.

Carefully, I hooked my arms underneath her and picked her up off the ground. I took small steps to avoid waking her up when motioning Ajax to open the door for me.

”There you go, buddy.” He held the door open for me as I thanked him silently and slipped into the pack house. Several pack members noticed me and waved happily over at me.

”Is that-”

”It is.” An older woman a.s.sures her daughter, her gentle smile warming my heart a little bit. ”It's the Alpha and Luna dear.” She tells her when the daughter nods in understanding a flashed me a smile.

”About time. Hey! ”

”Hush girl. Luna is asleep.” The older woman scolds her as she shut her mouth and gave me an apologetic smile.

”Sorry Alpha.” She apologizes when I smiled and left the pair to talk or gossip about pack affairs. I slipped up the stairs, hoping to avoid my parents since they hated Xenon's guts for some reason.

Probably because of the accident a years ago. That night is still very blurry and confusing to me and no one ever explained what had happened.

I know that Xenon was going to kill Terra and I was trying to stop her but I was too late. Alex and I were fighting some vampires when the room that Xenon disappeared started to go up in flames.

Without thinking, I rushed into the room to find that Terra was the cause of the fire, clearly dead as another woman was slumped against the wall. Xenon wasn't there which caused everything inside of me to hurt even worse.

That pain was the worst thing in my entire life, I felt so helpless to it that I tried my d.a.m.n hardest to get the woman slumped against the wall to tell me what had happened.

At the time I didn't realize she was dead but all I cared about was finding Xenon and knowing if she was alright or not.

I also didn't realize that the smoke around me was suffocating me, slowing all my movements til I was on the ground coughing for air. The memory of my eyes seeing Faye before I pa.s.sed out would always confuse me and how I got out of there was still a mystery to me.

Alex knew exactly what happened and told me Faye was never there. Though that night always haunted her and she never told me what exactly went down that night, even when I woke up to find Xenon in the hallway of the pack hospital.

She was still so fearful about what had happened.

My parents knew something they weren't telling me, but they refused to even speak of the night. Not to mention the fact that anything having to do with Xenon made their ears bleed.

Even though I wanted to know what happened, I didn't want to scare Faye off again. I didn't want my parents to scare her off either.

They had no say in who I saw or who I was involved with.

Xenon is after all my mate.

Leaving my thoughts, I kicked the door open with my foot and entered my room. The room I always remembered to be a dull place suddenly felt content and breezy with her in it.
