Chapter 29: who are you?

Nikolas sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair then turned back to Aurora.

"This doesn't mean you're not in trouble, Aurora but we have to deal with your sister first." He muttered, then grabbed Veronica's arms and pulled her out of the room while she pleaded with him.

As soon as they had left, Her mother walked up to her with a guilty look on her face.

"This is all my fault. I shouldn't have left Veronica in charge of you at a very young age. I didn't… I didn't know she tried to bury you" Aurora sighed.

"She did and I don't even know how I remember that but it's all good now. At least, all her antics didn't get me killed. Even if I have a weak heart, I'm still alive and that's all thanks to the Demigod you and father are milking like a cow" Aurora said in a breath then turned away from her.

She loved her mother to bits but she was a bit of a pushover most of the time. She always went along with what Nikolas wanted no matter if it was unreasonable or bad all because of love.

"My love? We are just looking out for you and…."

"Don't look out for me, mother. I'm not a child anymore. Just because I have a weak heart, doesn't mean I can't take care of myself. I'm fine and I haven't fainted in so long and you want to know who's to thank for that? Xavier. Anytime he's close to me, I feel stronger so why, why do you and father want to take that away from me?" She sighed then bowed her head slightly, something she always did when she was tired or frustrated.

"Because you are just a normal wolf, Aurora. I have seen first hand what he can do and they have never been good. He's very Powerful and can kill thousands in just a single blink of an eye. You don't understand how dangerous he is because he can't use his powers fully. Listen to me, Aurora. He's only being nice to you because he's up to no good so be careful because I know no matter what I say, you're still going to go to him" Her mother murmured and the worry on her face made Aurora frown but before she could say anything, her mother hurriedly walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Aurora stood there for a while, processing what her mother said, then she moved over to the bed and sat down slowly with a complex look on her face. Could her mother be right about the fact that Xavier was just being nice to her because he wanted her to pull out the stake? If she pulled it out? Will he kill her?

She shook her head, trying to get rid of that thought. Even though she knew Xavier wanted to use her to take out the stake, there was a part of her that believed his attitude towards her wasn't all fake. Sometimes, she could have sworn she saw some kind of emotion when he spoke with her. Could he be faking that? Impossible.

She was about to lay down and rest when she heard a knock on her door.

"Mother? Is that you?" A deep voice chuckled.

"No, my lady. It's Steven" Her eyes widened slightly then a smile appeared on her face. Even though she didn't have romantic feelings for Steven, after Xavier, he was the only friend she had.

"Oh, come in" Steven walked into the room with a smile on his face. There was something about his aura that bothered Aurora but she couldn't put her finger on it. He just seemed…. Different and she had noticed that that night they had gone for a picnic.

"Are you okay?" He questioned as he pulled a chair towards her bed and sat down on it. She noticed he was fighting the urge to cross his legs, a habit She had never seen Steven do before and the only man that had ever crossed his legs in front of her was Xavier.

"Yeah, why won't I be?" He tilted his head. An action only Xavier did as well.

"Because I saw your sister being dragged down the hall, screaming so I thought something had happened to you" She smiled.

"Thank you for worrying but I'm good. I was just about to rest" He frowned.

"Where's the fun in that? Let's go out for a stroll so you can enjoy the breeze and feel more at ease. What do you say?" She narrowed her eyes on him. At least he was speaking like Xavier but he wasn't speaking like Steven either. Was he really Steven?

"Erm… I don't think my parents would want to see me outside right now" He moved his chair closer to her then grabbed her hand.

"Since when did that stop you from sneaking out?" She didn't want to go back with him but she found her head nodding even before her mouth could open, making her gasp while he just smiled.

He stood up then pulled her up and she gasped again when she fell on his chest. She looked up and her eyes widened when she glanced at the pair of unfamiliar eyes.

"You are not Steven" He grinned.

"Took you too long to notice, princess" Her eyes widened further. She placed her hand on his chest as she tried to release herself but his hold on her was strong.

"Let me go, now" She uttered with a stern look but he just cooed at her.

"Now I see why Xavier is getting attached to you, Wolf. You're like a child and he's feeling responsible for you after lending his blood to you so you can survive" She gasped.

"Who… who are you and how… how do you know all this?" He smirked then leaned closer to her ear.

"I'm just a loyal follower that would do anything to get his master out of the cage he has been placed in and the only way to do that is to get rid of the reason he's being locked up which is you" Her eyes widened but before she could even say anything, he snapped his fingers and she immediately lost consciousness and fell on him.

"Don't worry, Xavier. I'll do what you are unable to do and kill them one by one. Don't hate me but I'm going to start with you little wolf" After saying that,he vanished with her in his arms….


Chapter 30: My King

Xavier rolled his eyes as he watched Paxton mutter to himself.

"If you have something to say then say it but if you don't, get out. I'm trying to rest" Paxton huffed then walked over to him.

"You're getting attached to that wolf, Xavier" Xavier furrowed his eyebrows.

"What?"

"You are getting attached to her. I've noticed the way you act differently around her and the way you call her little wolf is too endearing for your own good" Xavier rolled his eyes.

"Stop reading too much into it, Paxton. I know what I'm doing" He scoffed but immediately gulped when Xavier glared at him.

Paxton took a step back as he cleared his throat.

"See what I mean? Your cold Aura isn't the same when you're with her and you are hardly ever mean to her. I mean if we compare the way you treat her to the way you treat every other being, she's practically a Queen" Xavier groaned as he scratched his ear.

"Don't you have somewhere to be? All I can hear coming out of your mouth is gibberish and it's starting to annoy me" Paxton sighed. He should have known Xavier was going to be dismissive about this.

"I'm keeping an eye on you both. It seems like you keep forgetting the plan is to get out of here and destroy all these wolves including her. It's because of her you're being kept down here" Xavier frowned.

"But it isn't her fault. She didn't ask for her parents to take my blood and save her" Paxton's eyes widened then he scoffed.

"Wow, I never thought I'd see you stand up for someone" Xavier glared at him.

"I stand up for what is right and just and Aurora has no hand in this. I'll kill everyone else but her and then we'll leave" Paxton stared at him for a while then let out a sigh.

"Fine, I'll stop talking about it before you kill me" Xavier smirked then closed his eyes.

"Smart boy" Paxton rolled his eyes.

"Roll your eyes at me again and I'll make sure that's the last time you ever get to use them again" Paxton choked on his spit after hearing Xavier words.

"Sorry. Oh!" Paxton suddenly exclaimed with his eyes wide causing Xavier to groan.

"What is it this time around?"

"I forgot to tell you that Leo's grave was found empty today" Xavier's eyes immediately shot right open as he turned to Paxton.

"What?!" Paxton nodded.

"Everyone was panicking earlier, thinking he was coming for them because he wanted to take revenge for you but I haven't heard anything yet and that means, no one has been killed by him yet" Xavier frowned as a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

For some reason, his mind drifted towards Aurora. He knew the way Leo's mind worked and if he truly woke up to avenge him then Leo would have gone for the source.

He closed his eyes as he tried slipping into her mind but he couldn't. It's either she wasn't thinking of him or her mind was blank at the moment.

"Paxton, check up on Aurora and report to me immediately" He ordered and Paxton didn't question him when he saw the serious look on Xavier's face.

"Of course" Then he changed into a bee and flew out the little hole on the wall.

Aurora gasped for air as the cold ice water landed on her face. She opened her eyes slowly and stared at a very gorgeous face that she had never seen before.

"Gosh, I thought you had already died. Just how deep do you sleep?" His deep voice sounded in her ear as he sat down in front of her.

She tried speaking and that was when she noticed that her body was tied tightly with a rope.

"What… what is going on?" She questioned as she stared at him with panic in her eyes.

"Oh you seem to have forgotten about me because I'm not in the body you had seen me in earlier. It's me, Steven or at least the soul that was inside Steven" She gasped as her eyes widened.

"You!... What did you do to Steven?!" She yelled and he laughed.

"Wow, you sure do look like a little pup when angry and don't worry, you're the one I want so I didn't kill your little friend… yet. He's over there" She glanced at the area the strange man was pointing out and gasped when she saw Steven laying down on the hard cold ground with no sign of moving.

"Steven! Wake up!" She yelled and he laughed again.

"Silly wolf, he's Unconscious. How do you expect him to hear you? If I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut so I can get this over with and move on to my next target" She turned back to him and tried to keep the fear out of her eyes but her body was trembling.

If she thought Xavier had emotionless eyes, the man in front of her had the eyes of darkness. It was so dark that she couldn't even see her reflection in them.

"What…what do you want with me? I don't… I don't even know you" He tilted his head then nodded slowly.

"And I don't know you either and I don't want to get to know you since it would be fruitless anyways. I'm just carrying out my duties to my King. If he can't do it himself, his loyal subject has to do it for him" She frowned then it suddenly dawned on her and she gasped.

He had that superior feel to him as well and that could only mean that he was from Xavier's realm so was the king he was talking about Xavier?

"Is… is Xavier your King?" He frowned then within the blink of an eye, his fingers were wrapped around her throat.

"How come you're on a first name basis with him? You're a lowly mortal and you do not have the right to call him by his name!" Aurora could hardly breathe and she was sure it seemed like her eyes were about to pop out of its socket.

His fingers tightened around her neck as tears rolled Down her cheeks. Was this how she was going to die? At the hands of Xavier's Loyal follower?

She closed her eyes slowly and was about to accept her fate when his fingers were yanked off her neck.

She opened her eyes abruptly and gasped when she saw Xavier holding onto the strange man's neck as he lifted him off the ground.

"Leo" Xavier muttered and a bright smile appeared on the strange man's face.

"Hello, My King"...
