Eira’s eyebrows scrunched together as she looked at the note. She turned it around to inspect it but it was blank.
“Why would someone give me blank note…”
“What happened?…”
Xavion asked as he entered the room and shut the door behind.
Eira sighed placing the note aside.
“Nothing actually… one waiter gave this note saying it’s for me but it’s blank…”
“What note?… Why didn’t you tell me…”
He asked frowning.
“Is that the same note you were holding in the party…”
Eira walked towards him and wrapped her hands around his torso, she didn’t mean to make him mad.
“I didn’t mean to hide this from you xavion… It’s just, I didn’t wanted to bother you for no reason. You were already dealing with hybrids so I decided to look into it first and then inform you about it…”
She explained and his face turned soft.
Xavion sighed and cupped her cheeks.
“Baby you can never bother me with anything. You are my first priority. Next time just inform me first okay… Because I don’t__”
“Because you don’t want me to get in any trouble…”
She completed for him and laughed.
“Yeah… I am serious Eira. Don’t hide things like this from me…”
He said firmly.
“Okay I won’t… why would I hide something from you.”
She assured.
“Now I am going to take shower…”
He nodded.
“Okay you go first… I have some important call to make…”
Eira pecked his lips and walked towards the bathroom. Xavion saw her disappearing behind the door and his smiling face turned into angry one.
He walked towards the fireplace and pulled out the original note from his pocket. When Eira lied about it being tissue paper, he knew that something is wrong. When they were having dinner he opened her clutch when she was busy talking to Aron and replaced the note with blank paper.
Xavion was boiling in anger when he read the note but didn’t show anyone. He thought Eira is also lying and hiding something but now when she confessed, he realized that she didn’t had any bad intention.
He opened the note once again which was from Lorenzo.
‘Eira I am sorry that I have to contact you like this but xavion has left me no other way. I know he has told you very bad things about me and you probably think me as an enemy now but that’s not the truth. I am not your enemy Eira, it’s Xavion who is keeping you in the dark. I really want to tell you about everything, please meet me in the forest near the river. Please don’t ignore this Eira.’
“Bloody fucker…”
Xavion crumbled the paper in his fist.
“You thought I won’t find out… You can never reach to Eira…”
He threw the paper in fire and Smirked.
“She is mine… Only mine… I’ll make sure you never reach to her. ”
Eira finished her shower, she was tired after the eventful night. She dried her body and wore Xavion’s shirt. His clothes have become her favorites. She blow dried her hair and walked out of the closet.
Xavion was sitting on the couch doing something with his laptop, he was wearing sweatpants which told her that he has already showered. Eira walked towards him and lazily sat on his lap. He stopped typing and wrapped his hands around her. She placed her face in crook of his neck.
“Aren’t you tired, it’s so late…”
She mumbled lazily.
“Just sending some important email… I am almost done…”
He kissed her cheek nuzzling her hair and inhaling her scent.
“Are you tired, baby…?”
Xavion asked but got no response from her, he frowned and looked at her but She was already in sleep. Xavion chuckled kissing her forehead and gently lifted her up. He placed her on the bed and covered her with bed sheet.
He was about to go back but Eira held his hand.
“Please don’t go…”
She said in half sleep.
Xavion Smiled and slide down beside her. Eira quickly clung to him and fell asleep while he pulled her closer.
‘stay with me just like this…’
He said to himself with cunning smirk.
In the morning Eira was first one to wake up, xavion was still clinging on her like a baby. The room was filled with sunlight, she couldn’t believe that she slept this late and still had no intention to leave the cozy bed.
She smiled looking at xavion who was sleeping peacefully. She gently stroked his cheeks, he was glowing under the sunlight. This man never fails to flutter her heart.
But she suddenly she remembered serenity’s words, can he be really obsessed. Eira didn’t notice something like that in his behavior.
She can’t even think what she will do if it’s true. Obsession won’t take long to become toxic and eventually ruin your freedom and relationship, Eira didn’t want that.
Leaning down she placed a kiss on his cheek not wanting to wake him up. She stood up and was about to walk away but xavion grabbed her hand.
“You shouldn’t take advantage of a sleeping person…”
Eira turned around to look at his smirking face. His hair was messy and morning raspy voice was enough to make her wet. Eira smiled at his words.
“I can do whatever I want with you…”
Xavion chuckled and pulled her on top of him.
“You can!… But at least wake me up so I can enjoy…”
He bit on her neck and she giggled.
“Come on… It’s late, let’s go… I need to workout…”
She whined as he refused to let her go.
“I can help with the calories…”
He grinned naughtily and she hit his chest playfully.
“No thanks… I’ll do it by myself… Come on, let’s go…”
“Fine…”
He huffed and let her go. Eira started doing her workout while xavion got busy in his work.
*****
After finishing her exercise Eira was feeling bored so she decided to take a run in the forest. She tried to inform xavion but he was busy in online meeting so she informed Ace.
She was walking out of the mansion when someone collided with her. Eira looked down at the person.
“Be careful Crystal…”
Eira said and crystal looked at her with sorry face. Eira noticed her scared state and frowned.
“What happened, what are you scared… Did something happened?…”
Crystal shook her head furiously and looked back like someone is watching her but no one was there.
“Are you sure?… You can tell me, okay?…”
“Nothing I was just getting late for chores that’s why I was in panic, I am sorry…”
She replied but Eira wasn’t buying it still she decided not to drag it and make her more uncomfortable.
“Okay then…”
Eira said and crystal hurriedly left her presence.
Eira looked around to find the cause of crystals panic and she spotted it. Aron was standing at the kitchen door frame with evil smirk on his face. He was looking at the crystal with eagle eyes as she ran towards different room. Eira was sure that he has done something to her, that’s why that poor girl was so scared.
“Don’t hurt her Aron?… Otherwise I’ll hurt you”
Eira warned.
Aron chuckled mockingly.
“Okay…”
He placed his hands in his pockets and walked away while whistling like Eira’s threat didn’t bother him.
“What is he up to?…”
Eira frowned, she shook her head disappointingly and walked out towards the forest.
Xavion finally finished his meeting and called Ace.
“Mail these documents…”
“Okay Alpha…”
Ace nodded.
“And Luna has a message for you. She told me to inform you that she is going for a run in the forest…”
“SHE WHAT?…”
Xavion yelled and stood up from the chair making it flew back with force.
“And when were you going to tell me…”
Ace panicked.
“I am sorry you were busy so___”
“Shut the Fuck up… How long she is out there…”
Xavion Cursed and started walking out.
“Ten minutes…”
Ace declared.
“Fuck…”
Xavion growled and started running towards the forest leaving confused Ace behind.
After few minutes xavion finally spotted Eira near the river and what he saw in front of him, made his heart stop beating.
