Dex's apartment...! 9:48am..!
"Sweetheart, I don't know why you've been staring at me... talk to me if something is bothering you!" Williams said.
We're currently in the dinning room, having breakfast and I have being staring at him since.
In fact, since he came out of the bathroom I have never left his side or look away from him for a second.. not even a blink.
"I'm starting to get worried by the way you're staring at me" he said.
I stayed quiet, I don't know if I should tell him about the dream I had...
Is it gonna scare him just as it's scaring me right now?
Will drops his spoon and turns to me, his hand moves my to cheek and he wipes my tears.
"Why are you crying?" He asked.
"I.. I'm crying?" I asked him back.
He nods, I get up and walk behind his chair and hugs... I cried.
I have never shed a tear for as long as I remember but today I did... I have never been scared of anything in all my life... but this dream got me scared today.
He gets up and hugs me back... He let me cry on his shoulder to my heart content.
"It's ok, enough crying, ok?" He asked, wiping off my tears.
I nod and sniffles.
"Let's have a seat and you talk to me about what's bothering, deal?"
I nod.
He leads me to a sofa bed in the living room, I sit down and he sits next to me.
"Now, what's bothering my love?" He asked.
I stare at him intensely.
"Tell me, talk to me!" He said.
I gulp... why do I have trouble talking about it? No! I think I'm too scared to talk about it!
He holds my shoulder and pulls me to himself.
"You can talk to me about anything, ok?"
I sighed.
"I.. I.. just..."
I close my eyes and inhale deeply.
"I just had a dream!"
"A dream?"
"Yeah, a bad.. scary dream!"
He nods.
"Can you tell me about it?"
I nod and begin.
"I saw you holding a blade and...."

Writer's pov
King's office...!
"Damien, you should take a break too!" The queen said as she walks in.
She had just past the elders outside as they were leaving...she hands him a bottle of chilled water.
"Thank you!" He said.
"Kate is back but she's resting in her room!"
The king nods and drops the empty bottle on his desk. He picks the note Xander gave him earlier and glares at it.
"What are you glaring at?"
"A note!"
"What note?"
He stretches the note to her, she takes it and reads it... she frowns deeply.
"Good heavens!" She exclaims. "Someone died?!"
"Yes, Xander just brought this note in... war is coming!"
The queen takes a closer look at the note and blinks.
"Why does this handwriting look familiar?" She wonders out loud.
"It's Antonio!"
"Antonio?!"
He nods.
"Why is he doing this?!"
The king stands up and walk towards his window and stares outside... watching some pups as they laugh and run about.
He puts his hands behind him.
"Since he left the pack and claims to travel around the world... I knew this would happen!"
"What would happen?"
"War! He wants the throne!"
The queen gets up and walks closer to him.
"Why would he want the throne? I thought he made it clear that he's not interested of being king?"
The king shakes his head.
"He lied!"
"But why?"
"For one, he's not my father's legitimate son and even if he's the eldest among the two of us, the council of elders wouldn't crown him king!"
The queen nods to show she's following his explanation... Though she already know this story, but she doesn't know the details.
"Also, he can't be king, his heart is too dark!"
"But now that's he's back, what are we going to do?"
"We'll wait and be vigilant! I've sent Armando to tighten the security and tell everyone not to go on runs alone or at night!"
The queen nods.
"Right, don't tell Xander or Alexa about this!"
"Huh?"
"This fight is between Antonio and I, I'm having a feeling that his target is Xander!"
The queen's eyes grows wide.
"Why Xander?"
"Xander is my heir, if he can get Xander out of the way then he can be king!"
The queen shakes her head frantically.
"No! We must tell Xander, I think Alexa is pregnant... We should tell Xander so he can protect her and their unborn pup better!"
The king turns to her with a small frown.
"She's pregnant? How can she get pregnant at a time like this?"
"Hey, it's a good thing... Also, it's your son's fault for not using protection!"
The king sighs and nods.
"Fine, I'll mind-link Xander later!"
"Why later, mind-link him now!"
"He's serving punishment!"
The queen rolls her eyeballs and turn, walking to the door.
"I'm gonna go get some rest, make sure you make him stop whatever you're having him do now!" She steps out and shuts the door loudly.
The king walks back to his chair and sits down... He picks the note and stares at it again.

Jenna's pov
Dex's apartment...!
".... I tried to wake you up but you didn't wake up!" I concluded my dream.
He laughs and kisses my forehead gently, he pulls me even closer to him.
"It's just a bad dream, ok?"
I shake my head in disagreement and lifts myself off him slightly.
"No, it's not just a dream, do you know how scared I am right now?"
"Sweetheart, I'm fine, I'm right in front of you and I'm fine... Very fine!" He said.
I look in his eyes, they held reassurance.
"Promise me, William, promise me you'll never pick up a fight with anyone!"
"I promise, sweetheart!" He said raising his hand up and putting out three of his fingers.
I nod, he straighten the frown lines on my forehead and smiles at me.
"I'm fine... don't think too much about that bad dream, it's just deceiving you!"
I nod.
"Let's continue with our food, alright?"
He gets up and helps me up too, we head back to the dinning table.

Alexa's pov
Xander's mansion...! 3pm...!
I yawn and opens my eyes, I sit up and move my hair away from my face.
My eyes glances around the room as if I'm looking for something.. until they settle on the wall clock.
A loud gasp leaves my mouth as I jump off the bed... I didn't know I have slept for such a long time.
I just laid down to take a short nap but I ended up sleeping for hours... Joyce must have gone home already.
I rush out of Xander's room and take the stairs two at a time.
"Hey, hey, missy!" Joyce's voice stops me just when I get to the last step.
"You're still here?"
"Yeah, where are you rushing to?" She asked.
I sigh and walk down the last step... she's holding an empty bowl in her hand.
I wonder what she did with the bowl.
"I thought you've left already!"
"Nope! I ain't gonna go nowhere until alpha comes!" She replies.
I nod and head towards the kitchen, I hear her footsteps following behind me.
"Sorry I left you here and went to sleep!"
"Oh, please, I had a good time watching movies alone... Perfect!"
I frown and stops just a few steps away from the kitchen... I turn to her.
"Wait, are you trying to make me feel guilty?"
She scoffs.
"Oh, I dare not!"
I turn and walk into the kitchen, she drops the bowl on the counter and sits on a stool.
"After all, you didn't promise to watch the movie with me and left me halfway through!"
I bite back a laugh and reach for a bottle of water from the fridge..I had promised to watch a movie with her but I went upstairs to take a nap, because I was feeling too sleepy!
"Now you're really making me feel guilty"
"Not at all your highness!"
I laugh and take a gulp of water from the bottle.
"Fine, I'm sorry, ok... next time we'll have another movie marathon and I promise I won't leave halfway!"
She folds her arms in her chest and raises an eyebrow at me.. in a doubtful manner.
"I swear, I won't leave halfway!"
"Better!" She huffs and look away.
I laugh.
"I'm not your mate, ok.. stop trying to go all girly with me!" I told her.
She laughs briefly and starts doing all those girly stuff.. I shudder and pretends like I'm gonna puke.
"Why are you making that face?" She asked.
"I swear, I don't like those girly girls... They make it seem like all girls are weak!"
"How?"
"They're always overly dramatic, pretending be a damsel in distress.. waiting for some knight to come save them!"
I rolled my eyes and shake my head.
"Just so annoying!" I adds.
She laughs at my explanation... My stomach growls and I reach for an apple on the counter.
Joyce takes it from me and place it back on the plate I took it from.
"I made apple pie!" She said.
She reaches for it on the top shelf and places it in front of me.. I give her a big thumbs up.
"You're my lucky charm!"
Just as she was about to reply me, we hear the doorbell ringing.
"I'll go get the door!" I said and rushes to the living room... Joyce follows me too.
I guess she's really taking this bodyguard stuff seriously.
I open the door and I'm engulfed in a tight hug.. I wanted to push the person off but I couldn't.
"Oh, my princess, longest time!" Micah?
He releases me and kisses my forehead and grins at me widely.
"Princess, I've missed you.. do you miss me?" He asked.
I roll my eyes, it's really long since I saw this drama king... I turn and walk back inside.
"Miss me?" I scoff. "I bet you're just saying that!"
I sit on a sofa, Joyce drops the apple pie in front of me. Micah snatches it and starts eating.
Joyce and I stares at him like he's gone loco... He meets our gaze and gives us a questioning look.
"What?" He asked.
"That's mine!"
He pause and stares at the pie.. he chuckles.
"Oh, I thought you were entertaining me with this..." He stares at it again. "But you can't have it now, I'm almost done with it!"
I facepalm myself and growl lowly... He grins more and winks at me.
Joyce laughs at us but quickly covers it with a cough when I turn to her.
"Micah, what are you doing here?"
He slumps onto a sofa.
"I miss you!"
I scoff again.
"That's not true, you've got your mate and you can't miss me no more!"
"I miss you truly, you're my sister and you'll always be my number one love!" He winks at me again.
I gag and he laughs.
Then I remember he and Will only stay close to me everytime I have my nightmares and they feel like I'm not safe.
I narrow my eyes at him.
"Tell me what brought you here, you're not here because you miss me!"
"Fine, you got me" he said.
I fold my arms on my chest and wait for him to speak.
"Alpha sent me here, to keep you company!"
"Xander?" I asked.
He nods.
"But he's already sent Joyce, tell me the real reason you're here, Micah!"
"Fine, he wants me to come protect you in case there's any danger!"
I frown.
"What kind of danger?"
"Well, his lunatic uncle is back and he might attack anytime... Who knows, he might come for you!"
Xander's uncle?
"Where's Xander?"
"He's busy with something!"
I nod.. my gaze move to the now empty plate on Micah's hand, I sent him a glare and he laughs.
"I swear you love seeing me suffer!" I told him.
"You know me too well princess!"
I bared my teeth at him. I reach for my phone and check the time.. it's 3:50pm.
"Alexa, are you still gonna go check on Janet?" Joyce asked.
"Yeah, we should head there now!" I replied and got up.
Micah gets up too and stares at me with a frown.
"You can't step out of this mansion!" He said.
"And why?"
"That's the alpha's order!"
I put my hand on my waist.
"Then try to stop me!" I said and head to the door.
I hear Micah sigh deeply, he drops the plate on the table and rushes after me.
"Wait up, I'm coming with you!"
I smirk.

Ding!
Ding!
The door open and Mr Cam smiles when he sees me.
"Luna!" He said and bows.
I smile and help him up.
"Mr Cam, forgo formalities, you're my teacher and I should be the one greeting you respectfully!" I told him.
He nods stiffly.. he looks at Joyce and greets her with a bow too, his gaze meets Micah and he quickly looks away.
I turn to Micah, he's glaring hard at Mr Cam... I elbowed his stomach and he groans.
"What's that for princess?"
"Say hello!"
He looks back at Mr Cam and gives him a forceful smile.. or should I say grimace.
"Mr Cam, where's Janet?" Joyce asked.
"She's inside, please come in!" Mr Cam ushers us in.
We steps in and sees Janet sitting on a couch.
"Love, look who came to visit you!" Mr Cam said.
Janet breaks into a smile when she sees me, I gets up but quickly falls back on the couch.
I wince for her inwardly... What did they do to her? Did they break her legs?
"Luna!" She greets and bows... rubbing her right leg like she's trying to numb the pain she's feeling.
Micah suddenly bursts into a fit of laughter.. he points at Janet and laughs even harder.
We all stare at him wondering why he's laughing... Soon, we saw him rolling on the floor.
Holding his stomach as he laughs. I clear my throat loudly and he stops laughing at once.
He gets up and stares at Janet.. his hand moves to his mouth, I can tell he's fighting hard not to laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" I grit out.
He leans closer to me and whisper in my ear.
"Who would've thought the most beautiful pack slut would end up being a cripple someday!"
I bite back a laugh at his choice of words.
"She's not a cripple!" I growled at him in a whisper.
"Oh, want an experiment?"
Before I could reply, he's grab Janet's right leg and twists it, Janet releases a scream.
Mr Cam growls at Micah loudly and tries to push him off Janet.. but I guess Micah is stronger than him.
Micah pushes Mr Cam back instead and leaves Janet's leg.
"Calm down, Wolfie, I was just putting her leg in order!"
"Really?! Is twisting it a way of putting it in order?!" I asked him.
"Of course, she can walk now!" He replies.
He signals Janet to stand up, she did... Mr Cam is ready to catch her in case she falls.
But surprisingly, she didn't fall, she's walking to and fro like she wasn't injured seconds ago.
She smiles and turns to Micah, to thank him I guess but Micah stops her.
"Don't thank me, I'm just a good guy!" He said.
She nods and turns to me instead, then she falls on her knees.
"What are you doing?" I asked and wanted to raise her up but she shakes her head.
"I'm sorry, Luna.. I have been so bad towards you and..."
"Say something we don't know!" Micah interrupts her.
"Micah!" I called in a scolding tone.
"Luna, I'm really sorry, if I could turn back time I wouldn't make so many mistakes.. I would have being good to you and..."
I cut her off by placing a finger on her lips... She stares at me and I smile at her.
"It's fine, you don't have to apologise because I have already forgiven you!"
"Luna...."
"We're friends now, friends don't say sorry to each other!"
She smiles... I help her up and embraces her.
"Thank you, Luna, thank you for forgiving me!"
"Call me Alexa please, Luna makes me feel old!" I told her.
She nods...
"Let's sit, we have a lot of catching up to do!" I said.
★★★
7:30pm...!
"Perfect!" I said.
I'm back at Xander mansion, we spent a lot of time at Mr Cam's place.. so I ask Micah and Joyce to go home since it's late.
Right now, I'm done preparing dinner... I'm just waiting for Xander to come back.
The door opens and Xander walks in.. he headed straight for the stairs.
"Baby!" I called him.
He stops and turns to me, I rush to him and embraces him.. but quickly move away as he reek of sweat.
"Baby, you reek of sweat!" I look up at him. "What have you being doing?" I asked.
"Nothing, just exercise!" He replies.. his voice sounds like he's tired.
"Come, I made dinner!"
He stretches his neck and look at the dinning table.. he shakes his head.
"I'm gonna go shower and go to sleep"
"Why? Eat first!"
"Baby, I'm too tired for that!" He said.. he leans forward and kisses my lips lightly.
"But you..."
He didn't let me finish my words before he rushes up.
I turn back to the food and sigh... I guess I'll have to eat alone.
★★★
Xander's room...!
My mouth hangs open as I see Xander step out of the bathroom in his sweatpants...his bare chest looking so delicious.
His damp hair fall on his face.. which makes him look so hot.
I feel myself tingling down under and I bite my lower lip.. is this how it feels to be horny?
He climbs onto the bed and I pushes him down before I could stop myself.
He lays down and I got on his top, without wasting time, I crash my lips on his.
He didn't respond, rather he pushes me off softly and I falls next to him.
"Baby, what are you doing?" He asked.
"I want you!" I state.. no beating about the bush.
He smiles and pinches my nose softly.
"I'm too tired, baby, I wanna rest!"
"But I want you badly, like I really, really, really want you now!"
"Hmm, how about you have me tomorrow morning?" He said.
"What did you do that exhausted you?"
"I told you already, just exercise!"
I scoff and turn away from him.
"I don't believe you, you just don't wanna make love to me!"
He laughs briefly and pulls me to himself, hugging me from behind.
"Don't worry, baby, I'll make sweet love to you tomorrow morning! Just let me sleep tonight and replenish my energy!"
I try to move away from his arms but he didn't let me.
"Just let me hold you, I need you on my arms!" He said and yawns tiredly.
He kisses my neck.. actually his mark on my neck and then it's silence.
"Xander?" I called but he didn't answer.
"Xander?" Still no answer.
I turn in his arms and finds him sleeping already... I guess he's really tired.
Poor me! And I'm so darn horny! Now I know how he felt the other day!
