Xylus

Chapter Seventeen

I squinted my eyes as the sun was peaking through the curtains, I sat up on my bed as I stretched my muscles, I thought back to my dream and something in my heart was telling me that the dream was real. 'I should talk to Xylus about it, maybe he has some information.' I thought to myself as I stood up from my bed and dressed myself in a white tank top and black shorts.

I walked down the stairs, to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast, but the individual who's back was towards me, made me stop in my tracks. The familiar aroma made me want to moan in ecstasy, Xylus was stood shirtless with shorts on as he was making breakfast. I bit my lip as I tried to wash away all the provocative thoughts lingering in my mind, I jumped slightly as he faced in my direction.

"Hey, I made breakfast." He smiled warmly as he held the plate up to show me. I stood still as a statue as my eyes trailed down his muscular, toned body.

"Kiara?" He called out to me, and I shot my eyes back to his purple, blue eyes, a smirk crept onto his lips and I felt my face heated up in embarrassment.

"O-Oh uh, thank you." I said as I quickly sat myself on the stool. He placed the plate infront of me, I licked my lips from how delicious the meal looked, he made me sausages with baked beans and fried eggs. I took the knife and fork and began digging in.

I took the first bite and moaned in delight, "You like it?" Xylus chuckled and I nodded, as I finished my food, Xylus kept staring at me, but I pretend not to notice. I put the knife and fork onto the empty plate and moved my eyes up to Xylus. Normally, he would be hard to read, but it's like he opened his emotions up to me. "Why did you watch me while I ate?" I blurted out and my eyes widened by how blunt I was. He shook his head as he chuckled. "Because you look cute when you eat." he stated and I looked down at my dishes so he wouldn't be able to see my reddened cheeks.

I picked up my dishes and put them over the sink as my thoughts went back to my dream once again. "Xylus?" he hummed in acknowledgment.

"Is it possible for someone to be born both a vampire and a werewolf?" I questioned and he tilted his head to the side slightly in curiosity.

"It has only happened one before and hasn't happen since then." he informed me and i nodded.

"Why are you asking?" he asked and I fiddled with my fingers.

"Well..I had this dream, and my mother told me that my father was a werewolf.." I crossed my arms as my eyes faced the ground.

"My wolf's name is Orlena." I concluded, every second Xylus hasn't said a word made my heart race faster.

"Have you spoken to her?" He walked up to me then leaned against the counter.

"No..but I have seen her." He was quiet once again, pondering over everything I have said.

"Wait, you believe me?" I moved my gaze back to his eyes, shocked.

"You've given me no reason not to believe you, and plus I have seen your eyes turn golden, which is unusual for someone that is just a vampire." he smiled in reassurance and I let out an air that I didn't know I was holding.

Our conversation was interrupted when Annalise entered the room "Good morning, Kiara and Alpha." She walked up to us as she smiled softly.

"Good morning, Annalise." I replied and Xylus nodded, greeting her.

As she walked up to us she collapsed onto the floor as she was holding her head in agony, Xylus and I rushed towards her, I crouched down as I held Annalise in my arms. She was having a Precognition, whenever something bad was about to happen, she would be in pain. She sighed in relief as she let go of her head. "What did you see, Annalise?" I asked, worryingly.

"Damian is coming, with an army full of vampires." She looked at me in distress and I felt all the air sucked out of my lungs as I looked at Xylus, he clenched his fist as he stared at the wall and I thought back to the last time I have seen Damian.

I walked by Damian's office, I heard him talk to someone and curiosity got the best of me and I held my ears against the door to listen in.

"I have waited too long for this." His deep, rough voice spoke out.

"You plan to marry her?" a female voice replied to him.

"Well I couldn't marry her mother, could I?" he retorted in distaste.

"Plus I got my revenge on her mother and father when I killed them, now no-one will stand in my way when I marry Kiara and have the most powerful heir." He chuckled darkly and I felt my head spin as I took in everything he said. I clenched my fists as I felt my blood boil.

'You took something of mine? I will take something of yours.' I thought to myself as I walked to the living room where I saw Damian's brother. He turned to look at me with his eyebrow raised.

I didn't give him time to speak when I stood in front of him and ripped his head off, I looked on the table to see a lighter that Damian's brother used to smoke, I smirked to myself as I took the lighter and set him on fire. At that exact moment, Damian's walked into the living room, his eyes were full of shock before he narrowed his eyes at me "What have you done?!" His loud voice boomed the entire room.

"You got your revenge but don't forget that Karma exists too." I mocked him as I grinned sinisterly . I smashed against the window to make my escape and I heard Damian's voice shouting to his guards. "Get her."
