Chapter 6
Xander’s PoV
When she put that balm, or fucking poison, on me, I felt as if my entire body was on fire. The fuck was she doing?! But that was not the worst of it.
The moment she poured the water over me, I felt some fucking reprieve, until she touched me. One hundred fucking sparks exploded inside of me when her soft fingers touched me. I felt her tug and bring forth my Alpha aura. What the fuck was this? My eyes blazed and Zeus growled in my head, and I didn’t need his confirmation to know what this fucking strong reaction was.
‘MATE!’
Her scent was a fucking billion times stronger and so much more fucking intoxicating. She gasped and jerked backwards, stumbling and falling to the ground, making her tits bounce as she backed away from me. Her dazzling green eyes were wide as she stared at me.
She was mine. Fuck it all, she was my mate.
I pushed myself away from the car and advanced towards her, only for her to crawl away from me, her heart thundering.
"Don’t run from us, princess." I growled dangerously.
That seemed to snap her out of it, and she jumped to her feet.
"Stay away from me, Aldino." She warned.
"That’s one fucking thing I can’t do." I murmured grabbing her arm, I spun her around, pushing her up against her car, slamming my hands on each side of her as I looked down at her.
No wonder her scent has always intrigued me.
"Xander, what are you doing?" She asked, placing her hands on my chest only to make my powers surge forth and those same fucking sparks rush through me. She gasped, moving her hands away.
Could she feel it?
Did she fucking know what she was doing to me?
The urge to mate and mark her was growing stronger… fuck!
My gaze dipped to her neck, my teeth growing until my canines were out.
"Xander…" She was weary of me now.
"Leave." I said coldly stepping away from her.
Her heart was thundering, but she still seemed fucking worried.
"Xander, are you ok? Maybe the poison of the-"
"I SAID FUCKING LEAVE!"
She frowned, but thank fuck she began to put her stuff in the trunk of her car.
‘DON’T LET HER GO!’ Zeus thundered in my head.
We can’t hurt her.
‘WE WON'T!’
She's a human Zeus... She needs time.
I stayed rooted to the spot as she cast a final glance at me. Her mask was still on, but those eyes held enough emotions.
"Please don’t tell Austin about me being a hunter."
That was the last fucking thing on my mind. I was fucking losing my self fucking control and she’s thinking about her identity coming out? Really?
She didn’t wait for a reply, getting in and driving off. The moment she was out of sight, I shifted. The sounds of bones breaking and the few seconds of pain as I felt every bone in my body break and reform consumed me, but it was only for a few seconds.
I then turned and ran into the woods. I needed to calm down before I ruined fuck all and messed things up with her.
She was my mate... This shit couldn’t be real. An Alpha with a human mate?
Something told me Alessio would use it to challenge my title. I frowned coldly, I may not be the fucking perfect son like my brother, who was a year younger than me, but I was the one suited for this title and it was my fucking right.
‘Our mate is strong too.’ Zeus added quietly. ‘And beautiful.’
I know she is; she’s always been this bombshell that every guy on campus wanted, but the one girl who considered herself better than everyone.
‘What will you do, Xander?’
About our mate? I’m going to win her over slowly… and I don’t want to tell anyone yet. Because if they learn I’ve found her, things could go two ways, and neither is one that I or Kassandra are ready for.
‘Kassandra.’ Zeus growled lowly. ‘What a strong name.’
Yeah? Guess so. It just sounds fucking sexy to me.
I left Zeus to his admirations, trying not to get caught up in Kassandra’s figure, or looks.
I didn’t want the pressure right now, not when I knew something was fucking wrong with me and about that, what the fuck was that thing she put on me that she promised would help. It burned like a bitch in heat.
I guess I’ll ask her next time I see her.
Last night I hadn’t been able to sleep at all. How could I when a certain blond was on my fucking mind. After training, I hit the shower before leaving for Uni as fast as possible. Wanting to get there before she did.
It took me half the time to get there, and I leant against my car, waiting for her.
"Hey, Xander!"
I turned to see two of the King siblings, but it was not the one I wanted to see... It was Austin and his sister, Kassandra’s twin, the fucking weird one. She always seemed extra fucking nervous around me.
"Hey man." I said, as we touched fists.
"Surprised to see you early and looks like you were waiting for someone." He said, looking around.
Not like him to miss shit. Speaking of shit, he looked a fucking mess, his usual styled hair was a mess.
"Na not really, why the fuck do you look like you just fucked someone on the back seat of your car?" I asked, making Liana, I think her name was, hurry away.
I smirked at that.
"Don’t man, I wish I did fuck someone. I'm stressed out because Kas, this morning she dropped the bomb on our parents. She’s moving out. Shit hit the roof, but she’s nineteen, not a fucking baby. But the fact she just got home mum was in tears. Anyway, dad got worried with all the crap going on and the increasing killings; he didn’t want her out there alone." Austin sighed.
Great, her moving out meant privacy. I hid my smirk, keeping my face schooled as I listened to him.
"Yeah, well she’s the sister who does know about us right?"
I still didn’t know exactly how the fuck she found out, but who cared? It made things easier.
"About werewolves, not everything else out there." Austin whispered.
If only he knew his sister knew a lot more than he thought.
"So, she’s actually moving out?"
"Yeah… and by the looks of it, soon. I left the house, but she was arguing with Dad fucking full-on." He scrubbed his hand down his face. "Man having sisters is fucking hard."
"I have only one and I'm fucking glad." I muttered.
He smirked.
"Oh trust me, you are indeed. I have three and I can tell you, you are damn lucky."
Austin and I had been friends for ages. Being hunters and future rulers of this city, it only made sense. In fact, it was the only double standard our family had. although mixing with the other kind wasn’t approved of. For the mayor and Alpha future heirs, it was encouraged for a smooth leadership. And I hoped that helped me with Kassandra.
Just then I saw her car pull up, a few rows away. Damn, the spot next to my car was closest to the campus building, but it seemed she was avoiding me.
She got out, dressed in a neon pink cropped jacket, white pants that emphasised that fucking ass of hers, and her curls were pulled up in a high pony, bouncing with every step she took.
"Oi." Austin made my attention snap away from his hot sister.
"What?"
"I said want to go for drinks later with Michael tonight?"
Michael was my Beta and also a good friend of ours, but unlike us two, he wasn’t studying.
"Sure." I said, thinking I needed to talk to her. "Text me the deets!"
I broke into a run, leaving a confused Austin behind, pushing through the throngs of people as the first bell rang.
Fuck, her scent was mixed with hundreds of others. I was still able to follow it, letting the intoxicating scent fill my nose.
Just then, I saw her blond head, and I wanted to call out to her, but this place was crawling with werewolves, and I didn’t want to draw attention to us. Fuck it.
I made my way through the throngs of students, until I was close, about to call her when she slammed into none other than Nick Donovan, the Captain of the soccer team and Mr Fucking Perfect.
"Damn sorry!" He said as her books went tumbling to the ground.
"Oh, it’s ok." Kassandra said, bending down, and my eyes fell on the band of her jeans, seeing the hint of bright pink underwear that sent blood to my dick.
"Kassandra… damn, it's you."
"Nick? Wow, you’ve changed."
Ok, this conversation was over. I stalked towards them just as Nick took her hand,
"So have you. If you were beautiful before, you are out of this world now Kas." He teased.
To my fucking rage, he kissed her hand, and what was worse, my fucking mate’s heart was racing.
"Sweet and charming as ever, I see."
She didn’t seem to fucking mind him touching her.
In seconds, I shoved him away, doing my best to control my anger, not caring when my eyes flashed. He knew who I was, anyway, being from one of the elite families of this fucking city and a hunter.
"Aldino." He said frowning as he fucking moved closer to Kassandra, standing in front of her protectively
Oh to the hell no.
Jealousy and anger ripped through me, and I didn’t give a fuck who heard and who didn’t.
"Get. The. Fuck. Away. From. HER!" I hissed possessively, my eyes blazing as I glared at the fucking wanker I wanted to rip to shreds.
