Writer's pov
Dex's apartment....! 10:50am...!
*Ding ding!* The doorbell rings.
"Coming!" Micah yells from the living room.
He rushed to the door and quickly opens it... his mouth hangs slightly open and a small surprised frown appears on his face.
"Xander?!" He asked like he couldn't believe his eyes, he quickly bows his head.
"Alpha prince!"
Xander acknowledge his greeting with a tap on his shoulder.
"Are you here for Alexa?"
Xander nods, he tilts his head and glance around the living room.
"Oh, she's still sleeping!" Micah replies.
"Sleeping?!" Xander asked and checks his wrist watch. "By this time?" He frowns.
Micah laughs lightly. "Yeah, she doesn't always get enough sleep until we moved here... so Will and I decided to let her sleep some more!" He explained.
Xander nods in understanding... Just then Will's heavy footsteps are heard coming towards them.
"Alpha prince!" He greets xander and smacks Micah's head.
"Hey!" Micah argued but Will shuts him up with a glare.
"You're really bold, huh? You couldn't invite the Alpha prince in!"
"Oh!"
Will glares at him one more time and turns to Xander with an apologetic smile.
"Alpha prince, forgive my brother for his insolence.. please do come in!" Will ushers him in.
He pulled Micah to his side and make way for Xander to walk in... Xander steps in and walk into the living room.
Will and Micah followed him. He sits on a sofa and gestures them to sit down too.. they complied.
"William, you don't have to be formal everytime you see me.. I'm your brother-in-law and I'd appreciate it if you treat me as such!"
Will nods, Micah turns to Will with a smirk that says *I wasn't wrong!*
Micah turns to Xander with a nervous smile.
"So... just to be clear, I can scold you if you hurt my sister?"
Xander thinks about and nod slowly.
"Yeah, but I'm an Alpha prince, don't over do it... I'm afraid I don't take orders from anyone!"
"Yeah! Yeah! I still prefer my head on my neck anyway!" Micah said... Now it's Will's turn to smirk at Micah.
Micah huffed and crossed his arms on his chest. There's a brief silence but Xander broke it.
"Right! How about you're the rogue that killed your parents.. have you been able to track him down?" Xander asked.
Will sighed and shakes his head... Micah leans back on the sofa and groan.
"That guy is a fox!" Micah groans out.
"A fox?" Xander and Will asked. Feeling a bit confused.
"I have been hanging out with all his sluts...but somehow he gets to know and breaks up with them before I can get any information out of them!" He say.
"Why?" Xander asked.
"It's a plan made by us to catch him...we thought his girlfriend would know where he is..but each time we're closer he breaks up with them!" Will said.
Micas shakes his head.
"I earn a playboy's reputation for nothing...if I meet my mate and she hears about my reputation..I'm sure she'll reject me for sure!"
Will rolled his eyes at Micah's dramatic statement. Xander frowns slightly...he nods.
"Then you should change your plan... going out with his girlfriends won't yield any results!" He said.
"Yeah, thinking about it now..it was a pretty bad idea...now my sister thinks I'm the ladies' man!" Micah laments dramatically.
"Micah, be serious!" Will cautioned him...then turns to xander. "We'll change our plan!"
Then there's a moment of silence....Xander sniffs the air and his gaze settled on Alexa's door.
Will and Micah noticed his gaze and Will clears his throat.
"I don't think she'll wake up anytime soon!" Will said.
Xander's gaze still doesn't move away from the door... Micah leans on the table.
"Alpha, how about you go inside and wait for her!"
Will smacks his head and he whined.
"What? She's his mate after all" he turns back to xander with a smile. "Go on!"
Xander turns to him with a somewhat worried expression.
"What if she gets angry?"
Micah scoffs and slaps Xander's shoulder..though Xander finds it offensive but doesn't say anything.
"You're her mate, she can't stay angry at you... besides, if she's angry, you'll know how to calm her down!"
Will simply stares at his brother in astonishment... wondering how he could be so free discussing these things with his sister's mate.
"Ok!" Xander agrees.
Micah gets up and pulled Will up with him.... Though Will reluctantly lets Micah pulled him.
"Will and I are going out!" He said.
"But if she wakes up and...."
"Alpha, I'm creating opportunity for you...when she wakes up, take her out for breakfast...find any excuse to take her out"
Xander frowns.
"Doesn't that mean I'm indirectly asking her out?"
"Yeah, if you ask her out directly..she won't go with you!"
Xander nods in understanding as he realizes a lot of sense in Micah's words.
"We're out!" Micah said and drags Will along.
*We'll spend the day with mate! Mate will love us!* Liam dances happily in Xander's head.
"I hope so too!" Xander said and head to Alexa's room.

Alexa's pov
I smiled as I feel hands caressing my hair... fingers playing with my hair.
I grab onto my pillow and snuggle into it more...it feels so warm and a little bit....hard?!
Since when did my pillow suddenly becomes hard?
I sat up and yawned with my eyes closed, after yawning to my heart content...I opened my eyes and saw.....
"Xander?!" I exclaimed.
"Hello, baby!" He waves.
Wait...how did he get into my room? I looked down at myself...I'm wearing my see through nightie.
I looked back at him... he's staring at my...chest?!
I quickly kicked him off the bed and released a very loud, ear piercing squeal.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
He gets up quickly and groan painfully as he holds his ribs... I guess I kicked too hard.
"Baby, you're too harsh!"
I glared at him and grab the blanket in my arms and wraps it around my chest.
"What are you doing in my room?! How did you get in?!"
He smiles and scratches the back of his neck... His ears turns pink... Oh my God! Is he blushing?!
"I...."
"Wait... What are you even doing in my house?!"
"Rehearsal"
I frown.. then it dawned on me that we agreed he'll come over to my place for our rehearsal... Well, he concluded on his own.
"Rehearsal? At this early hour?!" I growled.
"Baby, it's already 11:25am!" He said and showed me his wrist watch.
A gasp leaves my mouth.
"11:25am?!"
I can't believe this... This is literally the first time I slept for a very long time... No nightmares!
"I practiced all night, I can sing the notation now.. should I..."
"No!" I interrupt him. "Please, spare my ears!"
"I can sing!"
"No, please"
"I can.. I was joking yesterday!"
I rolled my eyes.. what a liar.
"Right! Now get out of my room!"
"Why?" He asked.
This is the silliest question I've ever heard... I looked down at myself and back to him hoping he'd understand what I meant.
But he only knits his brows more in confusion.
"Xander, I wanna freshen up!"
"Oh!" He stands up. "You want me to help you take off your nightie?"
"What?!"
This guy is dumb! The dumbest guy ever liveth!
"You said you wanna freshen up!" He said like he doesn't understand why I'm screaming.
"Huh?"
"So... Should I help you take off your nighties and set the water for you?"
I picked a pillow and throws it at him and groan frustratingly.
"You pervert!"
"How? I just wanna help you!"
"Don't you know I'm a girl?"
He frowns.
"But that shouldn't be a problem... I won't look!"
I shut my eyes and inhaled deeply... I hold onto the blanket tightly and grind my teeth against each other.
"Get. Out!" I growled.
He stares at me quietly for a brief moment and head out... I released a long breath when I heard the door closed.
I jumped off my bed and dash into my bathroom.
"Ahh!" I sighed deeply. "I feel so fresh!" I said and steps into the living room.
Xander gets up and walk towards me.. his hands tucked in his pocket.
He stops in front of me and sniffs around me... He smiled in contentment.
"Why are you still here? Where are my brothers?"
"They.. out?"
I frown.
"They .. out? What does it mean?"
"I mean they went out!"
Hmm... My eyes moved to the dinning table and I'm met with disappointment.. no food.
Maybe it's in the kitchen... I rushed over... still no food.
"Are you hungry? I can take you out for breakfast"
"No, thanks!"
"Are you sure? I know a nice restaurant"
I still shake my head in disagreement.
"What are you really doing here?"
"I came for our rehearsal" he replied.
I slipped into a sofa.
"Too bad, my voice is still asleep.. so no practice today!"
"Huh?"
"No practice, go home!" I closed my eyes and pretend to be asleep.
He stayed silent for a moment and sits next to me.
"How about I give you a tour of my town!"
My ears pricked up and I quickly sits up.
"Tour?"
"Yeah! You're new in town and there are many places you don't know yet... As your friend I have volunteered to be your tour guide!"
Tour around town? I'd really love that! At least I should know the town I'm living in better.
"Ok! But we won't stay too long outside!"
He nods quickly and grabs my hand and pulls me towards the door.
"Is this the kind of tour you promised to give me?" I asked Xander as he look through a show glass.. searching phones.
We're currently in a phone shop... Xander said he broke his phone so he needed to buy a new one!
"We're on the tour!" He replies simply.
"Really?"
"Yeah.. now you know where the phone shop is!" He said.
Oh God! I don't know if he's funny or foolish!
"This is not the kind of tour I was thinking!"
He stops searching and turns to me... He studied my expression and noticed I'm quite upset.
"Fine! I'll take you on a real tour after I pay for...." He turns and picks any phone his hand fell on. "... After I pay for this!"
Then he rushes off to the cashier... I don't know what took him so long.
Someone bumped into me from behind... I turned with a frown and saw a guy around my age.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" He apologised.
"It's fine! Thankfully, I didn't break anything!"
He nods and smiled at me, I gave him a forced smile in return.
"I'm Brett and you are....?" He stretched out his hand for a handshake.
"Alexa!" I take his hand just to be polite.
"Alexa!" Calls as if tasting my name in his mouth. "It's a nice name!"
I simply nod.. I just find out my name is nice.
"I moved here last night, it's nice to meet you!" He said still holding my hand.
I thought I was gonna be the only one new in town... A loud growl suddenly erupt from behind me and I quickly withdrew my hand in reflex.
I turned... Xander stands a few feet away with his fists balled by his side and anger hooded his eyes... He glares pointedly at Brett.
"Who's that dude?" Brett asked.
"My... Friend!"
Brett nod but frowns.
"But why is he glaring at me?" He asked equally glaring back at Xander.
I frown too cause I don't know how to answer his question... Cause honestly, since I knew Xander he's never frown at me before.
The cause of him getting angry now is something I don't understand.
*Wolfsbane!* He growled lowly in a doubled voice.
I feel like something's gonna go wrong... I don't know but I keep feeling like I should get Xander out of here before something bad happens.
I turned to Brett and whisper.
"Sorry, but I gotta go!"
I rushed to Xander and grabs his arm.
"Xander, let's go!"
Xander doesn't budge, he stand still like he wanna attack Brett any minute.
I hold his face in my hands and look him straight in the eyes.
"Xander, I'm hungry, let's go and eat!"
He stares in my eyes and slowly I see the anger vanish from his eyes.
"Let's go!" I told him quietly.
He nods and let me drag him away..but not before glaring at Brett maliciously.
