MELINA

Chapter Thirty

I woke up with my hair looking like a bush. I looked at the time and realized that I overslept. "shit! The Alpha king would be here anytime soon". I scrambled as fast as I could and ran into the bathroom. I could not risk them seeing me like this. When I was done with my bath, I put on a plain white sundress that had flower patterns all over it. I let my hair down in natural waves and looked into the mirror. I looked so beautiful in a natural way. Satisfied with my look, I headed out.
The first person I met along the passageway was my father. "Melina, they should be here in about one hour. You know you have to be there during the meeting right?". "Yes father", I replied. I ordered some of the servants to arrange the palace dining hall and serve different delicacies of food. A little part of me was scared and uneasy because of the rumours about Xavier but, I brushed all the thoughts away.
As I was about to look out of the window, I heard the sound of cars and stopped in my tracks. "they were finally here", I thought to myself. I went out with my father, mother and King Quan who arrived from Aztar kingdom the day before. The first set of people that got down from the first car were guards. As I was anticipating who was going to get down from the second car, my heart was beating rapidly. I did not know what to expect but, I braced myself.
The first thing I saw was a set of shiny black shoes. As the full body of the person was out, I was lost in trance. I figured out that was Xavier immediately. He did not look like a wicked ruthless man like they claimed. He looked like the exact opposite. Stepping down, his height was definitely six feet four inches. He wore a well-tailored white suit and a white shirt. The shirt was not buttoned up fully so a little part of his perfectly sculptured chest was showing. When I finally looked at his face, I was swept away. He looked like a god. When his eyes met mine, I sucked in my breath. His eyes were a piercing silver colour, his jaws were chiselled, a little portion of his black hair fell above his eyes. He was definitely the definition of beauty.

Xavier's POV
I contacted the Lasantha kingdom because we really needed them at the moment. We were running low on food in my kingdom. From what I had heard, they were blessed with resources. My wolf sam had been acting extremely funny. I went out for a run because I thought that will cool him down but, it did not work out. As I was coming back from the run, some people from my kingdom met me along the way, bowed their heads and greeted me. Most people could not look me in the eye because, I had a very unnerving gaze. People shiver in my presence. I was not always this wicked, scary or cold hearted but ever since I lost my father who was my rock and pillar, I changed.
In my mother's quest for power, she ended up killing my father. All I wanted was to tear her apart out of rage but, she was still my mother. I swallowed every anger in me and banned her from the kingdom of Lycania. I had not heard from her since the past seven years and I did not care.
Coming back to reality, I saw that we were already in front of the palace of the kingdom of Lasantha. I felt a kind of inner peace. I felt calm, I felt complete and that was very weird. I realized that Sam was very hyperactive and, I was really wondering what was up.
All my questions were answered when I came out of the car as my eyes met a pair of Caribbean blue eyes at the same time Sam said "mate".

For those of you wondering what "POV" is, it means point of view
