Xanders POV…He gave her a soft peck on her forehead before taking her lips, giving her a lingering kiss. Five years! That's how long he had waited for this. His heart felt nostalgic and he gently trailed a line on her back with his fingers before lightly squeezing her. Everything in him wanted to profess his love for her but he couldn't, at least not yet.He leaned in and gave her another peck on the dip of her nose before reluctantly separating himself from her. Her body was insatiable and he knew that if he remained next to her, it wouldn't be long before he wanted her again. Not that he minded having another round. After waking her up four times already to make love, he knew she was exhausted and needed her rest. Throughout the night, he had exercised the utmost restraint, being extra gentle with her, which was something he never had to do in their past. Savannah was very fiesty by nature and had she been present, she would have been a handful and he would have needed to keep
Helena's POV…“Huh? What?" She could have sworn she heard him say Tithen. "Aw god Xander, you know Tithen??" .He gave her a murderous look, his chest heaving and she cowered back. "20 minutes! I'll be in the truck," he spoke rigidly before walking out.He knows Tithen! How ?? She always assumed that he didn't know so the thought of asking him never crossed her mind. She threw away the sheets then hurriedly slid from the bed. Her attention was caught by something blue on the floor but she brushed past it, grabbing her backpack and emptying its contents. She needed to repack everything for her stuff to fit in.Standing there stark naked, her eyes began to wander around the room, locating the scattered clothes on the floor and she raced, swiping them.Twenty minutes was too little for her to bath and be ready. There was no way she was going to meet with Tithen without bathing, especially after a night of steamy sex.After packing her bag, she ran over to the tub and poured lots of wa
Xanders POV..'Just sex! Wow' That phrase had repeated itself in his mind so many times that he had grown sick of it. He didn't know which was worse, her betrayal for many years or a night of pouring his heart out and cherishing her, being reduced to nothing.This had to be the first time, in all of his existence, that anyone had ever said that to him and that wasn't exaggerating. They normally begged for more, did everything possible to remain relevant and when he withdrew, they became obsessive over him. Regardless, he didn't care about any of those women, they were his past and right now his future was at stake. Xander adjusted the rear view mirror so that he could watch her as she slept. Her body leaned against the door, her head tilted towards the window and her legs folded up on the seat.How could she hurt him so carelessly and toss him away like a filthy rug? Had he not been considerate and shown her tenderness? Every inch of his body wanted to punish her, to make her feel j
Xander's POV..'How do I begin?' he asked in his mind. He knew exactly how he felt, that his world was unbearable at the moment but putting it into words was a whole different story. Griff crossed his arms expectantly, tilting his head to the side, jaw clenched giving him a hardened glare.Was it too late to change his mind? Griff was going to really enjoy this.. "Okay, uhm, what I'm about to say happened to a friend of mine", he lied. If he distanced himself from the situation then he wouldn't be placing himself in a vulnerable position. Especially with Griff. He knew that if he told the truth, Griff would find a way of blackmailing him with it."Xander, I'm your only friend", Griff corrected him"."That's not true", he defended himself, not wanting to give up on his story."Really? What are their names?"Griff asked, skepticism written all over his face" I met them in the human realm and notice how I said them. There's Joe, Emma and what's his name? Ah yes, Owen".Aw man, how had h
Helena's POV…Lexy burst out laughing then shook her head."Where do you think you are? You're strange".Huh? Where they not in Tithens house? Is this a hotel and is Lexy one of its employees? Had Xander been here, she'd have known about all this beforehand. "Tithen is the name of this world that we're in and the capital is called Venona. In case you still don't know, we're in the palace in Venona," Lexy explained. Helena blinked, giving Lexy a blank stare. Venona, palace what? Did she hear correctly or was there something seriously wrong with her ears."Tithen is not a person but a place?" she asked, her brows beginning to furrow and Lexy nodded.No, it can't be. How was that possible? "Are you sure coz the one that I'm searching for is a man and he's meant to help me??"" Yes, I'm pretty sure. I've never heard of anyone by that name."She looked around in confusion, her entire world crushing beneath her feet. She wanted to grab her notebook to double check on the note but she remem
Helena's POV…Morning came and she could hear its sounds disturbing her ears and her eyes few open because she knew she was in trouble. She raced past the lounge, swung the door open before entering the empty hallway.She needed to find Lexy!Her eyes searched the empty space and her desperation grew. Lexy hadn't told her how to find her."Are you looking for me?" Lexy's smooth voice came from right next to her and she jumped again."Lex, how do you keep doing that??""Doing what?""The way you just appear like that? Anyways I need to talk to you like asap!" She took hold of Lexy' s wrist and pulled her inside her room. Lexy was now dressed in a cute, just above the knee black flared dress and high heeled sandals."You need to get me to a pharmacy! Please, it's urgent!" Helena begged, feeling heat rushing to her face. It had been what? Just over 24 hours so she still had time."What's a pharmacy?" Lexy asked innocently "You know, the place where you buy meds when you're sick? Do you
Helena's POV…Helena sat in the palace gardens, beaten and exhausted, sipping on a non alcoholic cherry blaze cocktail. She had spent the entire day searchIng for a pharmacy with zero success and was just about ready to abandon the search entirely.How could a pharmacy not exist in such a posh city? Did this mean that she had to accept the possibility of being pregnant?Lexy's phone began to ring and she answered through a mouthpiece that was attached to a headset. At first the conversation flew past Helena's ears but then she saw Lexy gasping, her eyes widening and her attention was captured."He's coming when? Now??? Okay i will sir. Thank you sir"."Is everything okay?" Helena asked after Lexy cut the phone."No, nothing's okay. Can you believe the prince is coming to inspect the second floor! He's never done that before! " "So what's the problem?""It's the prince!! Look at what I'm wearing. Come let's go up and change quickly". She looked panicked and Helena frowned. What was the
Xander's POv..He entered his truck and pulled out of the parking lot. Thanks to Griff, he couldn't use his powers because of the cameras that had started stalking him. After dodging a few cars on the freeway, his eyes glanced at the rearview mirror and he noticed at least six vehicles trailing after him."I'll pay you back for this!" he muttered, already hatching a plan for Griff.He turned left into the exit, passed a few roads then turned left again into the palace gates. The cars behind him stopped their pursuit at the entrance and he watched them disembarking and taking pictures.Whatever he had to do today must be done in complete secrecy because the last thing he wanted right now was for Helena's picture to be taken and splashed all over the news. 'Dudum dudum dudum', he could hear her continuous heartbeat and his being became excited. Even though there were some unresolved issues, seeing her again wouldn't be so bad. He stepped out of the truck and saw Gerald coming to mee
