Cassandra

Arguments and apologies

 Luka's POV.

I had arrived at Xander's mansion.I didn't even realise I was there until I saw Esmeralda and Sebastian making out on the porch.Well this was awkward. She saw me first, letting go of Sebastian like he was on fire.

"Don't worry love birds, I'll soon be out of your way"I said winking.

I walked into the mansion Xander had called home for a while. The smell of liquor hitting me. Xander was on the couch four bottles of vodka on the table all empty. I knew he was drunk.He never really had a high tolerance anyway. But I needed him sober for this conversation.

"Great, are you here to yell at me also" he stuttered.

He wasn't that far gone. There was still hope to sober him up. I ignored him wondering what had happened here. Normally Alika would be somewhere on top of Xander begging him to buy her food. Those two had been too close for just friends. At least I thought so. But I knew Amare liked Alika.Even a blind man could see that.

I walked to the kitchen, my shoes making sounds on the marble floor. I wondered why Xander even made this kitchen himself when all the people in this house didn't know how to cook. Well other than Esmeralda and Sebastian. And maybe the maids.

I made some coffee, double espresso with no cream and took it to Xander. He had he same outfit as Cassandra. I made his sit up and down the coffee. He didn't complain.I guess he finally realised if I was here I meant business. He drank the whole thing and placed the mug on the coffee table. He looked slightly better.

"I need to talk to you about Cassandra" I said, hoping he even remembered her name.

I watched as his expression turned to a frown and then turned sour. He even looked slightly sober.

"Did Alika send you or something, like I said, I don't want more arguments, I  know I fucked up."

I didn't think he even knew what I wanted to say to him.But it wouldn't hurt to know would it. Maybe he could explain further what those scars on her back were. I saw them when she was changing.

"What exactly did you tell her to make everyone so angry at you bro. I thought you were always good with girls"I said.

Technically it wasn't a lie.Before Beatrice he always had a  bevy of girls at his side. Heck, girls from his own pack fought because of him.I wouldn't lie though. He was attractive in more ways than one. And I heard he had quite the package down there. But he was my brother. 

"Well, I just told her what Esmeralda told me, she did say she got all that silver from a night club in which she worked as a stripper. I called her a slut. But I liked her outfit I just didn't want her to be with Ethan when she was dressed like that" 

I frowned, taking in what Xander said.I knew for a fact Cassandra didn't work in a strip club, the scars on her back were from her father. She didn't mention about the silver.But I guess when she said she was from surgery I was supposed to place two and two together. Her wounds did look fresh.But why would she lie about working in a strip club.

"Xander, you need to know something, Cassandra has never worked in a strip club. I don't even think she has the features of a stripper, she is skinny as hell.The scars on her back were from her father, I think he was mental or something because she said he killed her mother and punished her for her death. "

A growl interrupted me. I looked up to find a very angry Xander. Well look who's sober all of a sudden.I watched as his anger faded and was replaced by guilt. Xander wasn't the type of people to act on impulse. I even wonder  what made him so angry that made him have such an outburst.Unless_
