Previously in Xavier's POV

Dread filled my body. Evangeline is the target. But, who was that? I don't know the answer to it but I know one thing. Something big is going to happen. Something I won't be able to stop!

Xavier's POV

I grunted, running a hand over my face. How long had it been since I've been sitting here in my office? I looked up from my desk towards the floor to ceiling window on the right side of my office. Sun rays peeked through the curtains. I looked at the clock on the far wall. 7 am. I sighed.

I felt extremely tired. My eyes stung and I rubbed them to ease some pain. It was no doubt they were red because of the lack of sleep. Last night, I didn't sleep. I couldn't. How could I sleep when there was someone out there trying to steal mate from me? My beautiful little mate whom I found after so many years. When I had almost lost all hope of finding my mate.

This is what I feared. Of all the threats that would loom over her as soon as they found out that she's my mate. I had to do something. I shouldn't be worried. For all I know, it could be an empty threat.

But, what if it was a serious threat? What if she really is a target of someone? I couldn't shake off this feeling of dread.

My mind was exploding with these 'What Ifs'.

I got out of my chair and walked towards the attached bathroom. I washed my face and dried it using a towel from the rack. I exited the bathroom.

Picking my cell from the desk, I placed it in my pocket and walked out of my office. I headed towards the kitchen to get myself a glass of water. Grabbing a bottle from the fridge, I poured myself a glass of cool water. Placing myself on the high chair in front of the counter, I took a sip of the water.

My cell pinged in my pocket indicating a text from someone. I placed the glass on the counter and pulled my phone out of my back pocket.

Aiden: Hey, I found the location

of the number. I emailed you the details. Call me after you've seen them.

Aiden Reed, my roommate in Connecticut, was a tracker. In fact, one of the best you could find among the packs in America.

(A/N: In case you forgot, Xavier shared an apartment with him in Connecticut for two years.)

After receiving the call from the unknown number, the first thing I did was to call him. He said that he'd try his best.

I logged in to my account and saw his email on top of the list. Opening it, I read the details.

Number: 004568061476

Location: Unclaimed territory nearly 48 km from Oakmont.

Last active: 2: 15 am. on Thursday, August 12.

Today is Friday. It means the phone must have been disposed of immediately after calling me.

Unclaimed territory. It was a dangerous territory. No one was allowed to cross it because of the vile creatures that lived there. It was told that some rogues lived there. But, most of them stayed out of that territory. It was famous for the merciless killings by a demon that lived there. It was towards the North of our territory. A frown settled on my face.

Sh*t. This was serious. No sane person would cross the unclaimed territory for just a prank call. And they would never go that deep into the forest.
