"Are you alright now?" Zavier asks me in a quiet comforting voice when I continued to mess with the b.u.t.ton on the bottom of his sleeve. Somehow, we ended up in a sitting position on the ground with me in his protective circle that felt so safe that I couldn"t even think straight."Mhm." I hummed, unclipping the b.u.t.ton and sighing deeply while leaned against his chest. Just enjoying that for once I didn"t have to worry about anything and that someone else was watching over me.
"Good." He rested his chin on top of my head and wrapped his other arm around my waist, indicating that I wasn"t going to leave. Not like I truly wanted to leave anyway.
We stayed there, just soaking in each other and relaxing without having to talk about killing or fighting about something insignificant. I felt like I could get used to this and not have to stress about anything in the world.
I knew that there was a reason that he had contacted me to come here, but right now I wasn"t in the mood to talk about it. Only just stay in this fantasy of mine.
Ajax had escaped a long time ago, looking guilty as h.e.l.l and not wanting to confront me or Zavier at all since I was very violent when emotional.
Probably best for now.
I"m not sure if I could have handled myself if Zavier wasn"t here. I"m not even sure I would be alive if he wasn"t here.
"As much as I want to remain here. I know we"ve got to return to why I am here." I mumble with a small sigh while he tightened his grip making me smile and shift so my arm wasn"t rubbing against his leg.
"No..." He huffs like a child when I chuckled and slowly pulled away from him even through his protests.
"I have to return home and get my injuries treated. What is it y-"
"Then come back with me. I can treat them for you." He said, his hand wrapping around mine when he stood up and brought me up with him.

"Please... I don"t want to cause you the trouble-"
"You aren"t. Come on... Just let me in for once. I don"t care who or what you"ve done. I only care for who you truly are. Please... Let me do this for you." His lips felt warm against the side of my head causing my cheeks to flush in embarra.s.sment.
"Okay! Just don"t do that again!" I yell with bright red cheeks when he caught my embarra.s.sment and grinned cheekily at me.
"What? This?" He leaned in again, kissing my cheek a few times making me laugh and push him away.
"Stop it! That feels weird!" I yell with a laugh as he grabbed my wrists and nipped at my wrists in a playful way.
"You spur the fire inside of me Xenon. You can"t just expect me to go easy on you." He growled seductively when I nudged his head away from my wrist.
"I knew a wolf like you couldn"t resist me," I said with a short laugh while he c.o.c.ked his eyebrow at me with a smirk.
"Oh, babe. You"re the one who can"t resist me." He growled, calling me babe as I pulled my hands away with a sly smile.
"Easy wolfie. I"m no one"s babe. I"m F-" I stopped talking realizing that I almost exposed myself and corrected myself quickly. "I may be fabulous but I am Xenon. Not anyone"s babe." I cover, knowing he would fall for that though the look on his face seemed like he was about to laugh.
"You"re right. You are not anyone"s babe." He agreed, my heart sinking a little bit at his words when he leaned towards me again. "You are mine." Zavier brushed his hands against my face before running them through my hair and pulling me towards him.
He kissed me slowly while my grip on his hand loosened and went around his neck. I felt his arm wrap around my waist, tugging me closer to him when we got lost into our kisses again.
I could get used to this.
〰〰〰
"Ah. That hurts." I growl at him as he dabbed a piece of cloth on my arm that looked a little bit infected.
"Sorry, babe. It may a little infected so I"m trying to clean as best as I can before giving you some medicine." He apologizes, brushing the cloth a little softer while I sighed and sagged my shoulders a little.
I didn"t say anything to his words, not sure to what I should say in response but enjoying his touch on my arms in a careful way.
Zavier never told me the real reason why he had contacted me whether that was because of what happened between me and Ajax. I wasn"t going to deny that I wasn"t curious about what he wanted, but he was already in his own mind that I didn"t want to bother him more than I already have.
His hands brushed against my shoulder gently making me sigh and relax my tense shoulders to allow him to knead my shoulder blades.
"Why are you so nice to me...?" I finally ask, knowing that my thoughts were revolved around this question while continued ma.s.saging my tired muscles.
"Why not? You aren"t that bad of a person you believe to be." He says kind of surprising me and causing me to turn around and stare at him.
"You are aware that the main reason I"m here is to murder you in a b.l.o.o.d.y way, right?" I remind him as he chuckled and tapped my nose.
"Of course. But you haven"t even tried harming me." He points out in a c.o.c.ky way making me roll my eyes and turn away from him again.
"That expression just makes me want to kill you," I grumble loud enough for him to hear when he laughed at me and put down the rag he was cleaning my wounds with.
"I thought you liked me, babe." He whines, sneaking in a kiss on my cheek before walking over to the bathroom and leaving me with a flushed expression.
"I"ve never liked you-you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" I bark, throwing a pillow in his general direction. I could hear his laughter in the restroom, only infuriating me even more.
"Relax. You"re to fun to tease." He grinned over at me with a wolf-like look when tossing the bandage in his palm and walking over to me. "Hold your arm out for me," Zavier told me.
I sighed, agitated at him but holding my arm out for him to wrap up. His hand wrapped around my arm, holding the beginning of the wrap against it while starting to wrap it up for me.
The bandage was a little tighter then I expected, though at least I knew that the bleeding would stop eventually. Zavier removed his hands from my arm and grabbed all the trash and medicine from the nightstand while going into the restroom again.
Another sigh left me, this time due to tiredness and needing sleep to heal and regenerate power from tapping into Alexandra"s power. Not to mention her mate taking his anger out on me.
"If you"re tired, you can rest here and I"ll make sure no one comes in," Zavier told me as he dried his hands with a clean rag.
"No. It"s alright. I should return home anyway." I inform him, standing up from the bed and shifting the hood I was wearing to hide my ident.i.ty. "I have to go speak with Ajax. He"s upset at me for doing something he didn"t like. But right now. It"s out of both our control." I shrug and glanced up at Zavier.
"What do you mean?" He questions.
"You"ll find out in time," I a.s.sure him with a mysterious smile. "But by the time you find out. I may be gone and quite possibly dead." My words caused him to look at me with a paler look when I picked up my knife from the bed. "Don"t worry about my whereabouts. Just keep an eye out for yourself for now. Since I am not finishing the job I came here for. Other a.s.sa.s.sins will come and try to claim my kill. You." I warn him, rolling my shoulders a little bit to try and sooth down the pain.
"Why haven"t you killed me...?" He asks, daring to question my reasons when I stared at him.
"I do not know. You are... different than my other missions." I told him truthfully while he smirked.
"In a special and seductive way?" He says as if that was my answer making me roll my eyes at him.
"Yes. Very special." I said sarcastically before holding my hand up to him. "See you later." I wave, snapping my finger and disappearing from his room into my own room.
The breath inside of me left me when I took heavy pants and pushed back my hood. I felt my body weighing me down and slowly pulling me down to my bed which was very comfortable right at the moment.
"Faye...?" A low knock came from my door while I shifted to be looking away from it as the door opened. "Faye. I"m so so-"
"Don"t start... I"m really not in the mood right now. I have to heal and regain my strength. Please leave me be." I told him, no room to argue as he sighed and closed the door knowing I wasn"t going to listen either way.
My body was loving that I was resting after an emotional and crazy day.
I wasn"t sure where this was going to lead me to.
But I was sure that I was going to definitely regret ever meeting Zavier.
