XAVIOUS' POV

I felt the gnawing under my skin, like an itch that I couldn't reach.

I noticed the atmosphere of the gathering drop. Almost everyone's heart beat synched into slow motion. I looked around to see everyone's eyes glow a bright amber, gold. Mostly the male's eyes. Except for Heithen's (my beta) which glowed a bright blue unlike his natural dull ones.

Before anyone could leave they kneel down in defeat when I let out a growl in anger. I could feel my inner self taking over. I shut my wolf out and run to the place my heart was taking me.

I was heaving as I rush inside and my eyes slowly calm down. I could hear her heart pounding as I run upstairs to follow her but she slams the door.

My mind didn't want this. I never wanted a mate but this feeling is all new and exciting if I may add but nothing will ever be the same. The only solution I could think was to talk it out.

We can't. I can't see her pain.

"You know what we have to do..." I enter the room and clench my jaw as my sight falls on her clutching her sides.

"No!...ughh" She replies but grunts in pain. "I don't want to because I don't even know you!"

"Yes, I know but the-"

"Yea, the Moon Goddess is being a pain." I could see tears glazing her eyes as she tries to walk to the bathroom but I catch her from toppling over and help support her.

I could feel the softness of her skin, it was electrifying in a way. It was addicting to touch her. She wanted to take a shower so I assist her and then wait for her to finish showering. She walks out in her bra and underwear so I pull off my dress-shirt and slip it on her.

"Can you just...hold me?" She asks while biting her bottom lip. I nod my head as I lean against the bed on the floor as she sits in between my legs curling up to my chest yet I was still taller. I traced circles on her back and out of nowhere she pecks my cheek and falls asleep.

I give a low chuckle noticing the light tint that covered her cheeks.

I couldn't explain this, even if I was just holding her it brought this rare calmness and happiness. I could do this for years and not grow tired- What was I thinking?

I look down and place a kiss on her temple placing her on the bed.

She will come out when she's ready...or will she ever?
