3 for 3! Comments have steered me towards this direction. All the hate Xavier's been getting makes me too nervous that you queens might decide to stop reading.

I have done as told. I have been bathed, scrubbed until my skin turned sore and waxed everywhere. A gold collar tightly wrapped around my neck, my clothes replaced with a silky translucent black robe. I enter Xavier's room following one of the ladies who "cleaned" me. She sneered at me before leaving me to myself in his dark-themed room. There's a pillow on either side of the foot of the king-sized bed, I assume that's where I was to kneel but I've had a few moments to think about this. I've thought about escaping but that would entail quite some planning that ai haven't had the time for.
I won't kneel, I won't submit any longer.
I'll refuse him, he doesn't deserve me and I refuse to let him break me or at least so easily.
I am the Alpha of Frees's mate and I will fight for my freedom. Maddox would want me to do that until he can come for me. I believe him.
I hear footsteps approaching and by the scent, I know it's Xavier. He dismisses who he's talking to before he opens the door only to find me standing confidently in the middle of the room.
He looks at my face, maintaining eye contact as he closes the door and folds his sleeves.
"Turn the fuck around." I wince at the foul language but do as told due to his Alpha voice.
"Were you a good girl for Maddox?" My heart aches.
"You're being a brat to me and brats get punished." He whispers close to my ear behind me.
"You aren't my mate and will never be my mate." Hurt him before he hurts you, he'll hurt you anyway.
"Oh getting dark now, are we?" He chuckles and I'm confused. Is he right?
"I like it." He stands in front of me.
Fuck off, I wanna say but Maddox's voice telling me good girls don't curse repeats in my head accompanied with his smile. Maddox kissing my forehead and I dwell on the happy memory of him. My true mate.
"Stop thinking about him." Xavier spats, his playful mood diminishing.
"I'm your mate and I'll make you believe it."
"Then treat me like one and maybe I'll start believing." Where is all this coming from??
"Don't you see, Ascher.." He knows my name? "I'm your mate just as much as Maddox is, you just have to choose." He smirks "Are you dark or are you light?"
It clicks. My newfound courage, my resistance. Darkness is as natural to me as.. my light.
"No, I refuse to let you break me." I say strongly but already thinking about how my darkness or my light doesn't overpower the other almost as if they're.. equal.
A little part of me starts believing that this is possible and he may not be lying.
"I may be a dark Alpha, love, but I won't lie." He holds the side of my face, endearingly "especially to you."
I tilt my head away from his hold in confusion.
"Do you really believe I'm your mate?"
"Yes."
"Take off this collar."
"Do you want me to mark you instead?"
My eyes widen. Did he collar me because he's being considerate of marking me too early?
"I didn't want to do anything permanent." That's actually.. sweet?
He's being vulnerable right now and I decide to seize the opportunity. Is he being nice to me because I showed some darkness?
I hug him. If all else fails, kindness always works. Maddox's voice in my head as clear as when he said it.
He stills in my arms. I refuse to let him influence my light away. I will be myself here no matter what. He holds my back with one of his hands while the other plays with my hair very subtly.
He really smells like a mate and this hug feels like a mate's.
At this moment, I pray a short prayer to the moon goddess asking for some clarity.
"You can sleep here. Wear some of my clothes." He leaves the room.
What just happened??
I find some clothes to change into and spend half the night thinking of Xavier and Maddox. This is stupid but I think Xavier's guarding himself with walls. Or do I just see the good in people because of Maddox?
I decide to try to really talk with Xavier when I see him but that might depend on his mood.
But what if he returns to being awful to me?
I try to maintain a steady heartbeat and breathing when I hear the door open. Too tired for any confrontation. It's not Xavier. When I feel the quilt being lifted around my foot I become extremely cautious. When I feel a cold metal snap tightly around my ankle, I jump rushing towards the top of my bed only to be stopped by the new restraint.
A girl, maybe younger than me stares at me wide-eyed "I'm sorry to wake you, Luna, but Alpha says no one lets you leave and to make sure you don't leave his room." Her voice is the nicest thing since I got here and I try my best to offer her a smile, knowing she's just following her Alpha's orders.
"Please give him some time, he's not as bad as he first seems. He needs you." I don't say anything until she's almost out the door.
"What's your name?"
"I'm just Toy."
Does Xavier stay nice or does he go back to being rough? Let me know or commen Dealer's Choice if you want it to be up to me.
