Descending from the stairs Eira spotted Aron on the couch. She halted in her place when she saw him staring at the crystal who was busy in dusting paintings. He was looking at her like he wants to eat her alive.
Eira cleared her throat to grab his attention. Aron came out of his daze and looked at her awkwardly as she saw him gawking at the girl.
“Xavion told me that we need to plan party…”
She asked and he visibly relaxed knowing she is not asking him about the current situation.
“Yeah…”
He fixed his posture.
“He informed me about it… Come, sit… The planner will be here in a minute…”
Eira can notice that his playful nature was long gone, he seemed serious and hurt. Eira felt bad for him, she can understand how is he feeling right now. His hate for humans were justified.
Aron saw how Eira was looking at him and he didn’t liked the sympathy in her eyes.
“Don’t look at me like that… I hate that look…”
Eira quickly looked away embarrassed.
“I am sorry… I didn’t mean to make you feel like that. I just can’t imagine myself in your place… I wasn’t judging you…”
Aron smiled bitterly.
“I don’t know Eira… May be I am destined to be alone because there is no way I am going stay with human…”
He confessed and she noticed the pain in his eyes, it must be difficult for him to stay without mate for his whole life.
Eira wanted him to give crystal a chance, the girl looked so perfect who might be a healer of him but she didn’t wanted to drag the conversation. As per her thinking, she has no right to interfere in his life. She decided to leave it on xavion, if he said that he knows what to do then he must have a plan.
“I think you are right… She is a human and she will probably die within few decades, better don’t get attached to the person to cry afterwords…”
She said bluntly.
Aron’s eyes snapped towards her, the storm erupted in his heart when he imagined crystals death. No matter how much he denied, he did felt scared imagining that.
“I___”
“Sorry I am late…”
He was interrupted by the party planner.
Eira Smirked seeing Aron’s worried expressions, her words might have affected him. He was occasionally stealing glances at crystal and she seemed to be aware of his gaze.
They talked about the party, it looked like xavion has already plan everything and Eira didn’t seemed it necessary to be discussed by her or Aron. She couldn’t understand why xavion would ask them to do it again, only if she knew that he has hidden motives behind it.
“Is that all…”
Eira asked the planner and she nodded with smile but her eyes were fixed on the Aron.
She was literally eye raping him while he was lost in his own world.
“You can leave now…”
Eira ordered with harsh voice making her eyes widened. She stood up embarrassed and quickly left the mansion.
Excusing herself from Aron she Eira walked out, Ace informed her that xavion is still busy and won’t be out of his for at least one hour. She wasn’t in a mood to read and xavion has made it clear that she is not going in the forest alone so she walked out in the garden thinking about Xavion’s weird behavior. Sometimes she really can’t understand his reactions or behavior.
She could see that workers has already started decorating the mansion. It was looking more royal than her marking day. She even checked the guest list and Alpha from different territory were also attending the function. Eira wasn’t used to attend parties or functions like this, she only attended it when she had to kill someone otherwise things like this never appeals her but all these things are part of Xavion’s life and she was trying to adjust like that. As a Luna she wanted to complete her every responsibility.
Xavion closed the last file he had to sign, he wanted to finish all his work as soon as possible and went back to his lovely mate. She was slowly becoming his addiction, he couldn’t stay away from her for a long time.
“Where is Eira?…”
He asked Ace who was collecting all files.
“I saw her in the garden few minutes ago…”
Ace replied and xavion gestured him to leave. Standing up from his leather chair he walked towards the window from where the garden was clearly visible. He spotted her near the compound wall beside the flower plant. She seemed in a deep thoughts and small smile appeared on his face. Her platinum hair were swaying with the air as she glowed under the sunlight. He was in awe of her beauty.
“You will be death of me, my love…”
He mumbled to himself.
But soon his smile disappeared when he suddenly saw dark shadow appearing near the compound wall and getting closer to Eira, It has Smokey appearance. Xavion quickly realized what is it and who is behind it. Only witches can do something like that, someone was trying to reach Eira and he was aware who is that someone. Marcel…
It was a dark spirit which has ability to manipulate the werewolf and they are trying to do the same with Eira. Marcel wanted his granddaughter back any how, even if he has to use black magic for it. Eira was a golden opportunity for him to get everything back and he was ready ready to use every possible way for it. The only thing which was thorn in his way was xavion. He knows that xavion won’t let him reach to Eira directly so he was using things like this.
Xavion’s heart skipped a beat when he saw it trying to touch Eira while she looked totally unaware of its presence, she was busy admiring the flowers and butterflies.
“Eira…”
He growled and she quickly turned around looking at him, she looked at him questioningly not understanding why he growled like that while that shadow started moving in a faster movements.
“Fuck…”
He cursed, taking a few steps back he jumped out of the window, landing directly in front of Eira.
