The Black Wolf [ON HOLD]

Chapter 7

Sapphire POV

After hearing the snap of something, mostly likely a branch, and seeing the birds fly, I realize that my worst nightmare has come true: Chase found me.

James takes my hand and says "Come on."

We walk towards the truck and I see my two bodyguards headed towards me and that's when it happens.

He opens the door and puts me in the truck when I see a wolf headed towards me and I scream.

"Boom!"

The wolf hits the side of the car and I fall out of it, James picking me up and placing me behind him with my two bodyguards on the sides of me.

The wolf comes from around the car and growls loudly. Wolves then appear out of nowhere and surround us.

The wolf that hit the car shifts and becomes a grown man.

"Everyone stand down." The voice booms and I grip James's hand even tighter.

"Damn it, Xavier. You should've told me that you were coming." The man says turning towards him.

"I'm sorry, Phoenix. I wanted to surprise my parents." He says, smiling.

They walk over to each other and hug.

"Well, let me at least get back home and tell your Dad that it was a false alarm." Phoenix says, turning to walk away.

"Wait! Before you go, I need you to look up something for me." Xavier says, walking towards him.

Xavier whispers in his ear and Phoenix growls before nodding his head.

"I'll get started on that immediately."

The man shifts back into wolf and runs off, the other wolves following him.

"Damn. I think that's the fastest that they have responded." James says.

"I know and that's a good thing. Phoenix is doing a good job." Xavier responds, walking towards me.

He kneels down in front of me, asking "You okay?"

I nodded my head and he smiles.

"Good. Now, let's get home everyone."

We both walk to the car and get inside.

James then sits in front and begins to drive? That's the word I think I need to use.

He drives for awhile until I see a really big cabin. My face is pressed to the window, my eyes wide, seeing how big it is. I hear someone chuckle and turn to look at Xavier.

I look at him, confused. He simply shakes his head and says "I'm sorry. You just looked so cute."

I feel myself blush and smile. He smiles back at me as the car stops and see a bunch of people outside.

I look at him, confused once more.

"Wait a minute. I'll be back." He says, getting out the car.

I watch him walk to the people and it looks as though he's talking to them. I see people turn and leave.

He walks back to the car and opened my door.

"You can come out." He says.

I hop out of the car and see that the cabin is even bigger up close.

"Do you like the mansion?" He says and I look at him, confused.

"Did you think this was just a really big cabin?" He asks and I look down, feeling embarrassed.

"Hey, it's okay that you didn't know. I don't know a lot of stuff either." He says which makes me happy.

I feel as though someone is watching me and I look up to see a blonde, standing in a window. I smile and wave. But, she just walks away.

"I have a feeling we will see her again." Starfire pipes up.

As we walk up the steps and inside the house, I swear my eyes grew even bigger seeing how nice- and clean- the house is. Just then, laughing erupts out of nowhere which causes me to jump and hide behind Xavier.

"It's alright. It's just my mom." He says.

Suddenly, it gets really quiet and a woman calls out his name.

"Xavier? Xavier, honey is that you?"

"Yea, mom, it's me."

Footsteps could be heard headed our way and I hold onto his hand, still hiding behind his back.

"Xavier, I'm so glad your home and someone found their mate." She says, starting to sing.

She soon comes into view along with a teenage girl, two men, and another woman.

"Guys, this is my mate, Sapphire." Xavier states, proudly.

"She's so adorable." His mother whispers.

One of the men stares directly at Xavier just like Xavier and James did in the car. They must be talking to each other. I also notice that the man looks like both Xavier, the girl, and the other man. He has to be the dad.

The teenage girl decides to speak.

"Hi, my name is Aaliyah and the boy standing next to me is Trey and the woman standing next to him is his wife, Alicia."

Alicia waves at me and I wave back.

"Boy? The only boy here is the person's hand she's holding." Trey says, smiling.

I giggle as Xavier says, "Ha. ha. Very funny."

"I know you two must be hungry. Let's head into the kitchen." His mom says, adding

"Oh, by the way. My name is Jasmine and my husband's name is Micheal."

I nodded my head, looking around at how beautiful- and clean the house. Then, I realize I'd have to clean this house. I tug on his hand and look up at him.

"Yes?"

I point at the living room and wipe the air before pointing at his mom. I'm just hoping he understands what I'm trying to say.

He laughs and so does his mom.

"If I think I know what you're asking which I'm pretty sure I do, I do not clean this house and you won't have to worry about it either. We have people that clean the house." His mom says, smiling.

I nodded my head and we keep walking into the kitchen and my jaw drops which cause Xavier to smile. This kitchen is huge. It has two ovens, a big refrigerator, tons of cabinets, and a really big island in the middle of the kitchen. I rush over to it, seeing it has a black quartz counter top. I run my hand over top of it, feeling how smooth it is.

"I see you really like the kitchen." Michael says.

I nod my head, smiling.

"Well, let's eat. Chris, could you bring us a snack, please?" Jasmine says.

I giggle and sit in between two chairs, with Xavier on one side and Aaliyah on the other. Alicia, Trey, and Jasmine sit across from us as Michael sits at the head of the island.

"Thank you for the snacks, Chris." Jasmine says.

"You're welcome, my Queen." He says, bowing before heading back into the room.

They all start to grab food to put onto their plates but I'm still full from earlier.

Xavier looks at me and says, "Are you still full from earlier?"

I nod my head as he smiles at me.

But, I can sense that he's worried.
