Chapter 11

*Xander’s PoV*




I drove home, unable to get her out of my mind. Kassandra King, you will be completely mine soon.

‘Why not tell her she is our mate?’ Zeus questioned; I could feel him prowling in my mind his possessiveness of Kassandra heightened since that mind-blowing kiss.

And scare her the fuck off? Not yet, she isn’t ready, and I am not going to ruin fuck all because of impatience.

‘Then make it fast, I need her.’ Zeus hissed, his anger rising.

I get you’re a fucking Alpha wolf, but chill the fuck out. She’s human and, on top of that, the mayor’s daughter, I can’t just kidnap her until she falls for me.

‘She is able to draw me out, that part intrigues me.’ Zeus murmured.

He had a damn point, yeah the mate bond has this strong pull, but I also felt as if she pulls Zeus to the surface, I’ve seen mates touch, but that’s not happened every time they touch.

I got out of my car, tossing my keys to one of the omega wolves, and took the steps two at a time until I reached the huge double doors of our mansion.

Stepping inside I locked the door behind me before running up the steps to my room, almost there when I saw Mom step out of it. She smiled upon seeing me.

"Xander, you’re home early." She trailed off, stepping closer and wiping the corner of my mouth. "I hope you didn’t make a girl cry."

I cocked my brow. "Excuse me?"

She held her thumb up, and I saw the smudge of lipstick.

Fuck!

"No, I didn’t make anyone cry." I mumbled, wiping my mouth.

"Oh, one more thing!" She exclaimed when I was about to walk past her.

"Yeah, mum?" I asked, stopping in my tracks.

Her soft blue eyes were full of concern.

"Your brother is getting his suit tailored for the new years eve party, are you sorted? The fitting is tomorrow morning if you want to get yours done too." She waved her hand, gesturing to me. "You can’t show up at the mayor's biggest party of the year looking like that."

Once upon a fucking time, I wouldn’t have given a shit, but now it meant Kassandra was going to be there. My heart skipped a beat and I swallowed. Although I was planning something sooner between us, I still wanted to leave an impression on New Year’s, especially considering Dick Donovan was going to be there.

I smirked at my thoughts and looked at my mum.

"Sure, I know exactly what I want for the party." I said, taking her by surprise.

"Really? You aren’t going to argue with me on it?" She asked.

"Why the fuck would I?" I asked, placing a quick kiss on her forehead and stepping into my room.

Kassandra.

I licked my lips, remembering the way she tasted and the way she felt against me. I locked my door to my huge bedroom. The marble floor was covered with a huge rug, there was a king-sized bed with black bedding and six pillows. The furniture itself was a little too classic for my fucking liking, but I couldn’t complain, I had a fucking good bed and a 62 inch TV with the best sound system that money could buy, completely decked with the latest Playstation and Xbox I didn't care about the rest. I walked through to my ensuite bathroom and dressing room, stripping as I went, before dunking the clothes into the washing hamper.

‘How will you woo our mate?’ Zeus asked as I switched the shower that sprayed water from all sides on. Just the thought of her made my dick twitch, and I wrapped my hand around it.

I'm thinking of setting up a date, something she’ll enjoy before I book out some luxury penthouse for the night.

‘Good idea.’

Pushing him to the back of my mind, I stroked my dick, thinking of none other than a certain sexy princess, pleasure rushing through me, and I groaned, imagining it was her hand around my cock instead…







The following day, I woke up to a fucking text about some ‘animal attacks’ that were plastered all over the damn news. This was a problem, because although there were attacks out there pretty often the human higher-ups or our kind would deal with it and made sure it didn’t get out but lately, there were random attacks that were happening in different fucking states that we didn’t even hear off until the media announced it. These bodies were completely drained of blood and torn to pieces, leaving behind a scene from a horror movie. A Vampire, that we were sure of, but the problem was, although the attacker left a bunch of victims in his wake no one seemed to be alerted of him being in their areas.

My phone beeped and it was from headquarters. Every hunter in the city was needed to attend a meeting in three days’ time. This was fucking interesting because we would meet in one place often. We didn’t even know all of the hunters' real identities. My mind went to Kassandra, and I wondered what exactly she would do considering she was keeping her identity secret, I guess I should ask her to tell her brother first before he saw her there. It was time to find her and see what her plan of action is and an excuse to her see again.




Two hours later, I was waiting at a small coffee shop not far from campus, I had texted Kassandra to meet me here. It was nothing big like Starbucks, but that was why I chose it. Here we were tucked away in a corner where we’ll get some privacy. I sat at a booth in the far corner already ordering myself an iced latte and her a hot chocolate.

Yeah, I did a little browsing on her social media and saw she liked hot chocolate, I just hoped she got here on time before it was fucking ice cold.

The bell on the door tinkled and I turned to see her looking fucking hot in black jeans, a red thick polar-neck top with sleeves that covered half of her hands and black heels.

She paused, looking around until she saw me, a smile crossing her pouty lips before she began walking over to me. She looked like a model on a catwalk, strutting down the aisle with every step she took. Her blond hair bounced along with those tits of hers that made me want to do a lot more than just look at her.

‘Soon.’ Zeus growled possessively.

She slid into the booth opposite me and glanced around the café. It was pretty empty, save for the odd human seated around. Most of them were pretty damn old too, and hopefully deaf.

"Why did you want to meet here?" She asked, her voice alone making my dick twitch.

"Maybe I just wanted to see you again." I said, making her heart pound loudly.

She brushed her fingers through her hair and swallowed. I could hear her heartbeat had picked up and smirking, I leaned forward, pushing her hot chocolate towards her.

"We both know even you couldn’t stop thinking of me last night." I whispered huskily, making her eyes fly open in shock. Oh, seems like I was correct. "Tell me, princess, did you think of me when you satiated that ache down below."

The moment her cheeks flushed pink, I knew I had hit the jackpot. I smirked cockily and picked up my mug.

"So tell me, what did you imagine? Me eating you out or fucking you?"

She glared at me, tossing her hair,

"Neither! Don’t get so up yourself, maybe I was imagining Nick." She shot back. My smirk vanished. My eyes blazed as I felt my anger flare inside of me as Zeus tried to take over.

"Oh yeah? Is that why you fucking left him last night and kissed me in the fucking car?" I growled, trying to control my anger, not even realising how fucking pissed I was until I shattered my mug in my hold. Not caring when the pieces of glass embedded in my hand or the gasps that crossed the room.

"Xander!" She exclaimed as all eyes turned on us.

So much for fucking discreet, but right now I am too fucking pissed off to even focus on anything. She stood up, rushing around the table to me just as one of the baristas came hurrying over.

"I'm fine." I growled.

"You’re bleeding I’ll get the first aid box!" The man said, running off as Kassandra grabbed some tissues, gently patting my hands trying to stem the bleeding. Her scent hit my nose and I simply wanted to close my eyes and fucking relish in it.

"Come with me." Kassandra said softly. I glared into her eyes, and I could see the guilt in them as she quickly tugged me towards the bathroom. "I’ll manage." She added to the man who had returned with the first aid box, taking it from him.

‘Kill Donovan!’ Zeus growled.

It was taking my fucking all not to do just that. Fucking wanker!

I let Kassandra pull me into one of the bathrooms and over to the sink where she opened the tap. Her heart was still racing as she let the cold water wash some of the blood away.

"Why do you get so angry when I mention him?" She asked as if she had no fucking idea.

‘Maybe if you told her she is ours she would have an idea!’ Zeus shouted.

I stared down at her, my jaw ticked, and I clenched my fists, making her gasp as I dug the glass shards in deeper.

"Xander stop!" She yelled, pulling my hand towards her, uncurling my fist with those delicate fingers of hers and long red nails.

"You really don’t have any fucking idea why he ticks me off?" I growled, watching her pick the glass out.

She paused, her heart thundering as her green eyes met mine.

"It's cause you fucking seem to like him a little too much for my fucking liking. So listen to me princess, either you stop fucking talking about him, and get rid of any thought of him that comes into that head of yours, or I will kill him." I hissed, my eyes blazing with the fire of unending anger raging through me.
