Chapter 16
Xavier's POV
I saw her running figure. She was crying hysterically. She was running away from me. That's exactly
what I needed. I will not let her pass my walls.
It took me a very long time to build them. And I was not going to let her in. She was already slowly
breaking those walls, without my knowledge.
And that scared me. Every time I yelled at her, because I was afraid of letting her in. I can't have her in
my life. Not in my heart.
The first time I saw her, I was mesmerized by her beauty. But when I realised she was human,
something in me snapped.
I didn't want to have a human as a mate. Not as a Luna Queen. Humans were weak. That was my
mindset. It always has been. But deep down, I knew she was perfect.
But I blamed it on the mate bond. My wolf was pissed at me, for how I treated our mate. But I couldn't
be bothered.
After the ball, the next day, my wolf went on a rampage tearing the palace down. Nathan and his mate
tried to calm him down, but he wouldn't listen.
He went on a run at the woods. That's when we smelled our mate. Without listening to me, he went
after the scent. That's when we saw that she was in danger because of a rogue.
He was about to safe her, when she did something that was unbelievable. As the rogue was about to
attack her, she dodged and side kicked him with such quick reflex. We were both shocked.
Soon she ran as the rogue chased. My wolf started chasing the rogue. What he saw made him furious.
The rogue was on top of her and was about to bite her neck off.
He quickly pounced on him, and start fighting with it. With one swift move, he ripped its head off. We
were staring down at the dead body.
We didn't realise she has run off. I quickly changed into my human from and wear pants that was
nearby. I tried to follow her scent but it was useless. Her scent was gone.
Frustrated I went back to the palace. Everyone asked me what happened to make my wolf go on a
rampage but I didn't bother to reply.
The next day, they had called the Elders and I had to tell them what happened. Hearing this, the Elders
was furious at me. They told me how important right now it was, for a Luna Queen.
I had to agree. With the war against the witches, we needed the power that can only be given off by the
Luna Queen. I sighed and told them everything I know.
What I didn't realise was that she was Nathan's sister. To say he was pissed when he heard this would
be an understatement. He wouldn't talk to me for days. But he was my only friend.
When she came to the throne room, her scent drove both my wolf and me insane and I didn't like the
effect she had on me. So I had to say those harsh words.
Once, after my run, I was walking by the kitchen to saw her hiding behind Angela, Nathan's mate. She
was afraid of me. I scoffed knowing that she is scared of me. Of course she will be scared of me.
I am a monster after all.
At the coronation Day, when I first saw her, she took my breathe away with her beauty. I quickly turn
away, not wanting to be mesmerized by her.
She wore the same dress that my mum had worn for her coronation. I remember her telling me about it.
My mum. I wished she was here. But no. She rather wallow in her own misery.
The moment I marked her, I felt the need of her. And I absolutely hated that. That was why, I had gone
to her room, and said those hurtful words.
I knew it hurt her, but I didn't want to care. I shouldn't let her in. She would leave one day. Just like my
dad and mum. They weren't there for me when I need them.
Once, in the staircase, I was walking down the staircase, and she was walking up. As she was walking
up, while eating ice cream, she bumped into me.
When I saw her, she was the most cutest and adorable person I have seen. When she ran away, my
wolf was hurt and started reprimanding me of how I have been treating her. I had block him off after
that.
Soon without even realising myself, I started to stare at her without her knowing, hiding in the darkness. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
At least I hoped she doesn't realize it.
Every time she went to college, she would search for me at the field, she'd pout when she didn't find
me, making me want to smile. But I would refrain. I knew she was getting to me. But I tried to avoid that
as much as I can.
During the meeting, when she said that idea, all of us were proud. None of us got that idea. Not even
the Elders. But she did. My wolf was so proud of her.
Before we went to the war, the concern I saw in her eyes, made me want to pull her into a hug and
never let her go.
When I heard she fought of three witches on her own, to protect the children, my respect for her grew.
Even though she knew her life would be at risk, she still did that to protect the children.
And I knew no she wolf, could match up to that. She was stronger than any she wolf. She was smarter
than anyone. And she was starting to break my walls. And that scared me.
So I ended up avoiding her at any cost. I knew she was in the library, listening to my music, falling
asleep. On the first day, when she came to listen to me play my music, I caught her scent.
Everyday I would check on her before going back to my chamber. She looked like a peaceful angel. I
didn't want to wake her up or disturb her.
Every time I saw her train with one of the warriors, I wanted to rip his head apart and shout to him that
she is mine. But I learnt they were friends and I had to control myself.
And today, when I returned from my cousin, Miguel's pack, I saw my mum standing in front of me, I lost
all my shit.
It has been years since I saw her. She still looked elegant and radiant as ever. She looked a little weak.
but was still as I remembered her.
I couldn't control my emotions. I didn't know how much I missed her, till I saw her. We were talking
when she told me, it was Amelia who convinced her.
I was surprised when I heard that. No one, not even me, was able convince her and she did. All I
wanted to do was go and hug her and tell her how sorry I am.
When I saw her playing with the kids, an image formed in both mine and my wolf head. She running
around with our pups.
I followed her to go and talk to her when I heard the conversation between her and my mum. Even after
everything, she called me a good man.
I retreated back to my office. My head was just in a mess. Everyone, even my own pack member has
seen me as a monster. But only she has seen me as a good man.
I was scared. And it was a foreign feeling that I didn't know how to deal with. And now when she told
me that she love me, all my walls broke.
I needed to push her away. For both of our sake. So I did what I was best at doing to her. I hurt her. I
broke her heart. Breaking mine along the way.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Nathan. He came running towards me. He stopped right in
front of me panting. He looked worried and that was concerning me. It took a lot to worry him.
"The witches has Amelia."
