(Xavier P.O.V)

“This world can hurt you

It cuts you deep and leaves a scar

Things fall apart,

but nothing breaks like a heart

And nothing breaks like a heart” my alarm started to ring and I move my hand around here and there to stop it.

I tried to stand to sit on my bed but feel something stopping me to do that, I look down to see a brunette stirring and holding me tight to her, I take her away from my torso and sit up on the bed. I try to wake up her but she just turns away from me and goes back to sleep. I got up from the bed and wear my shorts then walk towards the washroom and fill up the bucket full of cold water and then through it on her.

“What the hell?” she said while waking up from her sleep and then started glaring at me.

“Your wake, good. Grab your clothes and get out of my house,” I said while smirking at her and pointing my finger towards my door.

“But baby I am your girlfriend and I want to stay with you,” she whines while getting up from the bed and walking towards me seductively.

“What makes you think that you’re my girlfriend, did I ask you to be my girlfriend?” I ask her with a raised eyebrow.

“But we have sex yesterday, doesn’t it mean anything to you?” she asks with a pout.

“That only means that you are just a one-night stand and nothing more,” I said while smirking at her, she huffs at me and walks out of my room.

‘When will you stop your one-night stand, X, what happens when we found our mate and she found out about your one-night stands or your player ways, she will be hurt and reject us.’ Knight my Lycian said to me with a growl.

‘I will make sure that she did not find out about it when we found her’ I said to him while smirking at him. He just shakes his head and lay down.

*Well that's strange generally he gives me the lecture about the mate bond and about how a mate should act but today he was quiet, maybe he just gave up on me* I thought and shrugged my shoulder.

I walked to my GYM room and do some workouts, after that, I walk to my backyard and let him take control, he shifts and run for some time and give control back to me. I run back to my house and get dressed after getting a shower.

I walk out of my house towards my car and drove to the Starbucks, I get my coffee and walk out of there. As I reach towards my office building I feel my Lycian pacing around my mind.

“What’s up Knight?” I ask him.

“Nothing,” he growled at me and then blocked me out.

*Maybe he was on his period,* I thought and chuckled at my joke. As I enter my office I feel knight getting nervous. I tried to talk with him but he just blocks me out. I sign and walk inside my office.

I was busy signing the important papers when the most delicious smell of Honey, lemon, and Cinnamon hit me, taking me off guard.

“Mate, Mate was here,” Knight shouted at me like a lovesick puppy.

“Down boy down,” I said to him trying to calm him so I can compose myself. The phone on my table started to ring and I pick it up to see it was my secretary Lisa.

“Yes,” I said on the phone.

“Sir, Miss Dawson is here for the interview shall I send her towards your office,” she asks me.

“Yes, send her in,” I said on the phone and hang up on her.

“Why are you sitting here, go and find us our mate,” Knight said growling at me. I was about to say something to him but was cut off by the knock on my door.

“Come in,” I said and I smell the delicious smell getting stronger than before. She walks inside the office in awe and looks around my office while I take her looks in.

“Say something to her you idiot,” Knight growled inside my head.

“You like it?” I ask her.

“Yeah it is nicely furnished,” she said to me in her melody-like voice

“Thanks, I did it myself.”I jocked around to her, to which she only shakes her head and looks down.

“Oh, moon goddess why you have tied me up with this stupid human,” Knight said to me with a groan while I just internally chuckled at him.

“Take a seat,” I say while pointing to a big leather chair in front of my seat.

“I’m Xavier A Mcknight, the CEO of this company. But I’m guessing you already knew that you look like a girl who researches things before she steps into an office building.” I said getting in my CEO mode.
