“Eira…”
Xavion mumbled caressing her head. She was lying on his chest while tangling her legs with his, drowning in his warmness and divine scent.
“Hmm?…”
She snuggled closer to him lazily.
“I don’t want this to happen again…”
He confessed and she looked at him.
“Trust is very important in relationship and I want you to trust me. Please don’t judge me because of some outsiders…”
Eira felt guilty for not trusting him and not listening his side.
“I am sorry. She said it like that and all those things came crashing down on me. I have heard few of you saying about some ‘same girl’ and all. I couldn’t think properly at that time.”
She apologized.
Xavion kissed her head.
“I understand but promise me that you will come to me whenever something like this happens.”
“I promise…”
She pecked his lips making him smile.
“I have enemies Eira and they will target you to hurt me. Don’t let them win. I don’t want you to get hurt in this…”
He said and she nodded in understanding.
Xavion covered them with bed sheet and they both fell asleep in each other’s arms. Their grip on each other were tightening in possession.
*********
“Wake up love…”
Xavion nuzzled in her neck, tickling her and she woke up giggling.
Before this she was like a robot, getting up and going straight in the ground for training. Xavion was introducing her to new sides of beautiful life.
“Stop xavion…”
She said laughing and holding his face up.
“Get up its our special day…”
He said excitingly.
“Marking ceremony?…”
She asked and he nodded.
“But we scheduled it for next week…”
“I rescheduled it. I want to make you mine as soon as possible…”
He said placing his forehead on her’s
“Me too…”
She smiled shyly.
He chuckled kissing her cheek.
“Go get ready… I’ll show you the decorations.”
Eira raised her eyebrows.
“It’s already done!?…”
He nodded.
“Yes I asked them to do it overnight… Let’s have a look so we can make changes if you want…”
Eira nodded excitingly and stood up.
“I’ll shower quickly… Wait for me…”
Xavion grabbed her hand and pulled her on top of him. Eira gasped as she fell down.
“Let’s shower together…”
He teased caging her on his chest.
Eira blushed at his naughty words.
“No mister Alpha… We still have one day for that and we will waste time nothing else… because your hands roam everywhere.”
“We will save the time and water too… I promise”
He whined making her chuckle.
“Xavion…”
She whined.
“Okay, okay fine… Go and hurry up. I am going to eat you out tonight anyway…”
He smirked evilly and she gulped nervously.
Xavion went closer to her ear and whispered.
“Take your time baby because after tonight you will be very busy…”
Eira pushed him away and hurriedly walked towards the washroom, she slammed the door shut hearing his laughter behind her.
Her face was flushed red and smile wasn’t leaving her face. She was feeling relieved that everything is fine. This is the first time she is experiencing this much happiness and somewhere scared that someone will ruin it but this time she won’t let it happen.
‘I shouldn’t have trusted that evil woman… How can I believe in her instead of my own mate. Xavion is a good man, he is so gentle and loving and instead of him I believed her, the woman who abandoned her own daughter to live her luxurious life… Am I that bad at reading people?…’
Eira questioned herself.
‘I won’t trust anyone besides xavion from now on. Everyone is twisted in this word. Human life was easier, just practice and kill…’
Sighing she looked at the bathtub and her smile widened as she saw it already filled with bubbles and rose petals. The scented oils were invading all the space. She found a little sticky note on the mirror.
‘Take your time and pamper yourself. It’s happiest day in my life, love. And I want to cherish the reason behind it. I love you…
X. A
Smiling, Eira placed it aside and entered the bathtub. She took her time to clean herself. Underarms and her private part didn’t needed waxing as she had leisure treatment before. It was mandatory in the training school so things like this won’t waste their time.
Done with the shower she looked at herself in the human size mirror. Her body was fully grown up. She touched her curves and nervousness rushed in her body thinking will he find her beautiful. What will he think about her. How does it feel to be touched and loved by him. What if he doesn’t like her. He has seen her almost naked but he haven’t seen her totally naked yet.
She wouldn’t have think this much if it would have been old Eira. But xavion has completely changed her, the girl with frozen heart was long gone. Now she knows how to feel and express herself.
Getting ready she went outside were xavion was already waiting for her. He wasn’t wearing his coat, only white shirt.
Till now she has noticed that he wears suit when he is in mansion or in the city and t-shirt and jeans whenever they roam in the forest. Whatever he wears it suits him.
Xavion gave her charming smile and held her hand leading her downstairs. They both had breakfast together and went to the mansion’s garden where workers were still decorating it.
It was designed with white and purple flowers. Royal looking chairs and tables were set in the rows. The garden was groomed perfectly.
“It’s looking beautiful… I don’t think I can make any changes…”
Eira said looking at the garden in awe.
Xavion’s smile widened looking at her happy face.
“Perfect… Now go, makeup artists are here for you…”
He informed eagerly and she looked impressed at him.
“You are quite thoughtful… But I can do makeup. We had to disguise for missions many times…”
She said and he shook his head.
“You don’t have to do anything Today, just sit and let them do their work. save your energy for tonight”
He winked and she hit his chest playfully making him laugh.
“What’s so funny, tell me… I want to laugh too…”
Aron said playfully as he walked in the garden.
“Nothing… That you should know”
Xavion replied mockingly.
“Anyway… Go ahead. I’ll check the other preparations. The ceremony Is in 5 hours…”
Xavion pecked Eira’s cheeks and she nodded.
When xavion left she looked at the Aron who was looking at her with scrutinizing gaze.
“Aron…”
She called him and he hummed in response which clearly indicated that he is not interested in any kind of conversation.
“Listen… I don’t care how good fighter you are or how much you love my brother. Well I still doubt that you do because you have the same blood so don’t fake it in front of me…”
He said scowling hatefully at her.
Eira sighed at his response, she wasn’t surprised. She expected this from him.
“Listen I know you don’t like me… And if it’s weren’t for xavion then I wouldn’t have been bothered… I don’t know how to approach people or change their thoughts about me and I never cared but in your matter it’s important…”
Aron looked at her suspiciously, he still wasn’t ready to believe her.
“You are important to Xavion And he is important to me. Whatever happened in the past is not my fault, neither of us… I assure you that I am nothing like Patricia… I know you have strong reason to hate me but trust me, I am not here to hurt anyone…”
Eira assured and he nodded in understanding.
“I really want us to get along… Xavion is still blaming himself for your parents death. And you must be hurt too.”
She said and Aron frowned.
“Xavion is blaming himself?… For what?…”
He asked confused.
“He brought Patricia here and she killed your parents that’s why… He thinks that everything is his fault…”
She said and Aron raised his eyebrows in disbelief but didn’t made it look obvious.
He cleared his throat and smiled at her, she looked genuinely concerned about xavion. He could see how much she was struggling with expressing herself and forming a suitable words for the conversation, like she is not used to this So Aron decided to give her a chance. He saw how she fought Valarie the other day and was quite convinced that she is not involved in her family’s conspiracy.
“Fine… Let start the new beginning…”
He said giving her a genuine smile.
Eira smiled back.
“Thank you for trusting me…”
Aron gave her a friendly hug, in the beginning she hesitated but after that hugged him back. His smell was far more different than Xavion’s and wasn’t appealing like him. Then she realized how Wolves recognize their mates with scent, every scent is unique.
Eira happily head inside to get ready and Aron sighed frustratingly looking at her happy face. He turned towards xavion who was busy in work and shook his head in disappointment.
“How many lies you are going to feed her xavion… Your every word and promise holds lie. If Eira is really innocent then you are betraying her. It won’t take long for your castle of lies to collapse and with that you will lost your mate too…”
Aron couldn’t understand what he should do. He can’t tell Eira the truth because his love for his brother was stopping him.
“Why would you lie xavion… Patricia didn’t killed our parents, then why you lied to Eira…”
