CHAPTER FOUR
{IMELDA'S POV}
While Alpha Blake pondered on getting his rejected mate back or so I thought, I was having a blissful time with Alpha Xavier.
I found comfort in him unlike Alpha Blake who was ruthless, cruel and even old enough to be my father. He always wants things to go his way but Alpha Xavier was quite the opposite.
Haven't seen my prince charming for a while, I decided to go look for him.
I walked down the dimly lit hallway, my heart pounding in my chest as I approached Alpha Xavier's chambers.
I had been searching for him for hours, anxious to discuss an important matter with him. As I reached the door, I hesitated for a moment, taking a deep breath to steady myself before pushing it open.
As soon as I stepped inside, my eyes locked onto Alpha Xavier, who was stepping out of the bathroom, water droplets cascading down his toned, muscular body. My breath got caught in my throat at the sight of him, my eyes roving over his chiseled abs and broad shoulders.
Alpha Xavier looked up, his piercing blue eyes meeting my gaze. "Imelda" he said, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "What brings you here?"
I swallowed hard, trying to ignore the fluttering in my stomach. "I needed to speak with you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
He smirked, knowing the effect he had on me.
Alpha Xavier took a step closer, his bare feet padding softly on the stone floor. I couldn't help but notice the way his wet hair clung to his forehead, making him look even more ruggedly handsome.
"I'm all ears," he said, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine.
I took a deep breath, trying to regain my composure. "It's about the upcoming battle," I responded, my eyes flickering up to meet him. "I think we need to reassess our strategy."
Alpha Xavier nodded, his hand reaching out to brush a stray strand of hair from my face. "I couldn't agree more," he stated, a hint of a smile playing at his lips. "Let's discuss this over dinner, shall we?"
My heart skipped a beat at the invitation, and I nodded, unable to find my voice. As Alpha Xavier turned to leave, I could only watch him go, my eyes lingering on his muscular back and the way his wet clothes clung to his body.
As the door closed behind him, I let out a shaky breath, my mind reeling with thoughts of the handsome Alpha Xavier. I knew that I had to focus on the upcoming battle, but I couldn't shake the feeling that my heart was leading me down a different path.
I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I needed to focus on the upcoming battle and the strategy we were going to discuss over dinner. I took a deep breath and followed Alpha Xavier out of the room.
As we walked down the hallway, I couldn't help but steal glances at Alpha Xavier. He was even more handsome up close than I had imagined. His chiseled jawline and strong features made my heart flutter, and the way he moved with effortless grace was mesmerizing.
We reached the dining hall, where a table had already been set for us. We took our seats, and I tried to push aside my thoughts of Alpha Xavier's handsome physique and focus on the strategy at hand.
As we discussed the battle plans, I was stunned by Alpha Xavier's intelligence and strategic mind. He listened to my ideas and offered his own insights, and I felt a sense of respect growing between us.
As the meal came to an end, Alpha Xavier stood up and extended his hand to me. "Thank you for joining me," he said, his eyes meeting mine.
I took his hand, feeling a jolt of electricity run through me at his touch. "Thank you for inviting me," I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper.
As we walked back to Alpha Xavier's chambers, I could feel the tension building between us. When we reached the door, Alpha Xavier turned to face me, his eyes darkening with desire.
"Arghhh focus, imelda focus!" My inner self screamed at me.
Everything felt awkward to me, most especially after remembering how I kept drooling on Alpha Xavier at dinner made my face turn flush pink.
I felt like running away but I couldn't.
I think Alpha Xavier noticed my flushed face and was tempted to ask me what the problem was, but he withheld himself from doing so with the way he opened his mouth and suddenly stopped.
"Uhmm, anything else?" I asked as I scratched the back of my head in a very silly manner.
"Nope, nothing else." Alpha Xavier confirmed as his lips pursued Into a thin line. He sure was controlling himself from laughing out hard.
Me sensing this made a big pout on my lips, Alpha Xavier held my hands but I slapped his hands away.
Just then, we both heard footsteps.
I was slightly irritated by the person I saw.
Although I know Irene has never liked me right from the very start, I can't shake off the feeling that Irene is crushing on Alpha Xavier, because whenever I'm having a good time with him, Irene appears from nowhere or that annoying maniac... Alpha Blake.
I cursed them internally for always ruining my good time with alpha Xavier.
"The other day it was Alpha Blake.. now you" I screamed internally.
"Alpha Xavier we need to talk." Irene said abrubtly ignoring the fact that I was present there.
"What do we need to talk about this time, huh?" Alpha Xavier questioned. One could detect the slight irritation in his voice but the lady couldn't care less.
Before Irene could utter another word...
"Xavier, I will take my leave now, thanks once again." I said showing my gratitude but the fact that I was slightly angered didn't waver off a bit.
"But we aren't done with our discussions yet." He countered.
"What? Were we discussing? But why can't I remember that? I only remember you embarrassing me purposely." I yelled in my head.
I rolled my eyes at him, as if he got what i said, he flashed me a bewitching smile.
I grumbled and left grumpily earning him a sweet low chuckle.
Meanwhile as we totally ignored the lady fuming mad already, Alpha Blake was plotting something tragic.
{Unknown Pov}
"You can't tell me that okay!" Person 0 screeched out.
"What do you mean I can't tell you that? How do you expect our family bloodline to continue? She's the only key but she's so stubborn!" Alpha Blake's voice could be heard talking to an older person.
"I hope you know this is a forbidden act?" The old groggy voice asked.
"Whatever." Alpha Blake started rolling his eyes in the process.
What has to be done would be done. But the fact that Imelda is a sly fox in sheep's clothing didn't waver off in his mind. He thought.
The person 0 could only sigh because of how stubborn Alpha Blake is.
" So what's the plan?" Alpha Blake asked person 0.
" I should be asking you about that scumbag!" Person 0 said and hissed in anger.
" Well, well," Alpha Blake began rubbing his hands together. " We need to go on a silent raid, we aren't going to do much just to kidnap Imelda and kill that son of a bitch called Xavier."
Right now, Alpha Blake is boiling in anger.
" You see, your anger would be your destruction. You need to learn how to control your temper if you really want to succeed in this promiscuous plan of yours." Person 0 warned Alpha Blake.
But it seems like person 0 was pouring water on a rock because everything person 0 said was not even adhered to by Alpha Blake and he channeled his rage on person 0.
Person 0, knowing the energy exerted already, embraced himself for the fight.
Not like person 0 and Alpha Blake are enemies but person 0 has been Alpha Blake's punching bag for a long time now.
Y'all wondering who person 0 is right?
We would scratch that later.
**** Back to the black claw pack****
Alpha Xavier and Irene have been arguing for God knows how long, Alpha Xavier got tired of everything and shut the door on Irene's face.
This act got Irene really agitated.
"It's because of her right? " Irene mumbled. " Let's see if you're going to see her after tonight." Irene said and walked out.
Few minutes later, cries and echoes of war were heard.
