Chapter 10: CHAPTER TEN

Outside the packhouse, Alexavian felt a deep stare boring into him and he raised his head to look at the third floor and he saw two shadows falling before he could register what it was properly.

Andreus noticed that Alexavian’s attention was divided and he looked up to the third floor to see what caught his attention but there was nothing in plain sight on the terrace that he set his eyes on.

“What did you see?” Andreus asked as Alexavian’s gaze was still on third floor.

Alexavian withdrew his gaze and glanced at Andreus “It’s nothing, let’s leave here” Alexavian walked out as soon as he finished speaking.

“Oh, alright” Andreus replied as he quickened his pace to catch up with Alexavian’s. They walked out of the packhouse into the town.

Few minutes later, Nyra got up slowly from the bed and looked outside, the spot they were standing earlier was empty “Damn! They are gone” She exclaimed as she hurriedly approached the terrace and looked around the surroundings but it seems like they had they had disappeared.

She turned back and approached the door when Koryn called after her “Where are you heading to?”.

“Downstairs. The meeting would have ended by now”. She had to ask Xylon before he leaves.

Koryn laughed as she saw Nyra scurrying out. Seems like she was very serious about the guys that were outside earlier.

Nyra rushed downstairs to the sitting room, she saw the Alphas downstairs, they were already walking outside the packhouse.

She quickened her pace by the time she got out, some of them had already drove off. It was just Wallace, Henrik and Keldon that were standing outside.

Nyra scrunched her face into a frown as she approached them. It seems like Xylon has already left.

Keldon heard footsteps approaching them and he turned, he raised his brows in inquiry when he discovered that it was Nyra’s.

“What’s the matter?” Keldon asked with smiling eyes as Nyra got close to them.

Nyra nodded at the Henrik and Wallace and then she glanced at her brother “Has Xylon left?” She asked, her eyes shifted as she looked around.

“Yes he just left”. Keldon said as he looked at her expression closely as if he was searching for something.

Nyra’s countenance crumbled, she was too late. “Alright then. I’’ll get going”. She turned to head back to the packhouse.

“Wait. I was just messing with you”. Keldon smiled as he looked at her, she looked like a puppy that has been doused with water.

Nyra turned back quickly as she heard those words, her eyes widened in surprise.

“He is still here, he is not leaving yet and he is staying over”. Keldon revealed. Looking at Nyra bubbling with excitement, he felt like he has discovered something.

“Where is he now?”. Nyra asked.

“He is in the third room down the hallway on the first floor”. Keldon said. He recalled something and he quickly said “Hey, don’t barge into…” before he could finish his words, Nyra was already long gone.

“Is she interested in Xylon?” Henrik asked after Nyra left.

Keldon sighed. It would have been better if he didn’t ask because it was pretty obvious. “I think so”.

“You should talk to her, it will necessarily not end well”. Henrik said calmly. Xylon was known for being a playboy. He doesn’t stay with one she-wolf for long. Though most werewolves are like that, he does his excessively. He changes his women the same way he changes his clothes

“She knows that but I will think I will have to talk to her” Keldon sighed. Koryn was already a handful, she acts without thinking. Now he has to worry about Nyra. He will probably asked their mother to talk to her if she doesn’t listen to him.

“It might be fate though. What if she is what Xylon needs to settle down?” Henrik asked as he glanced at Wallace who has gone quiet.

“We will see. I will sound her out first to be sure”. Keldon nodded. They might be wrong.

“Alright”. Henrik grinned and he glanced at Wallace again. As expected his calm eyes shifted, he looked longingly into the pack house before he concealed his emotions.

Henrik smiled, he was definitely not missing out from this drama.

Nyra rushed into the packhouse and went into the hallway. She walked past the first two doors till she stood before the third door.

She knocked calmly but no one answered. She knocked again but she was still met with silence.

Then she pushed the door and peeped inside the room, as she was about to step inside, she glanced at the bed and she gasped loudly.

The movement on the bed stopped and Xylon raised his head and looked at the door.

“Fuck! What are you doing there?” Xylon exclaimed as he saw Nyra at the door. Her head was inside while her body is still outside the room.

The she-wolf underneath him screamed and quickly grabbed the quilt to cover her exposed body.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry I wasn’t aware”. Nyra quickly apologized. She thought there was no one inside after she knocked and no one answered. She regretted not listening properly. The room’s sound proof was very good.

Xylon heaved himself up as he saw that Nyra was still standing there after apologizing with no plans of leaving “Well what are you still doing there? Are you planning to join us”. Xylon was irritated. She has apologized then why was she still staring at them.

Nyra came to her senses and she looked at them in disgust “Who is planning to join you? I was about to leave”.

“No one is stopping you though. The more the merrier” Xylon grinned as he stared at Nyra’s horrified expression after he said that. He was just teasing her.

“Get lost!” Nyra said with a heated expression as she banged the door hard.

Outside the packhouse, Henrik and Keldon laughed loudly as they heard the screaming from Xylon’s room.

“I knew it”. Henrik said still laughing. He knew that Xylon would be so pissed so right now.

“I tried stopping her, she was too fast”. Keldon said trying to suppress his laughter. He would have gone after her but a part of him allowed her to go see for herself, so as to quell any unnecessary thoughts.

“You could have stopped her if you wanted to” Wallace said. He knew that Keldon would have been able to stop her if he really wanted to.

“Well, some things are better seen than being told”. Keldon said slowly. His eyes still held hints of laughter. He wondered how Nyra will deal with the situation.

Inside his room, Xylon laughed at Nyra’s reaction and turned to look at the she-wolf that has covered herself after Nyra intruded on them.

“Leave” He said tiredly. He has already lost interest in doing anything else.

The girl looked at him in surprise “Huh?” He was a well known playboy and as werewolves it’s normal for them to fool around, why was he chasing her out now.

“Didn’t you hear what I said? Leave!” Xylon exclaimed. He was getting quite irritated. He rubbed his forehead slowly.

“Should I come back later?” She asked carefully, she was quite confused. She thought she had a chance to sleep with Alpha Xylon today.

The other girls at the kitchen were jealous when Alpha Xylon asked her to come to his room. Now how will she face them? Her face crumbled as she thought about it.

“Why are you so slow?” Xylon asked as it seems like the she-wolf had no intention of leaving.

“I’m going out, I don’t want to see you here when I return. Got it?” The girl quickly nodded as she clenched her fist tightly with the quilt in her hands.

Xylon got up from the bed and dressed up, he kicked the girls clothes that were strewn on the floor and said “Take your things with you”.

He walked out of the room slowly and closed the door behind him with a loud bang which jolted the she-wolf out of her thoughts.

Xylon walked out from the hallway and arrived at the sitting room. Nyra was sitting on a couch leisurely while scrolling through her phone. She would occasionally smile when she sees something funny.

“What’s so funny?” Nyra glanced up as she heard Xylon’s voice above her. She didn’t know when Xylon got so close her.

She cleared her throat “None of your business”. What was he doing outside anyway. She thought that she has to wait for a few hours before she sees him.

“I can make it my business if I want to” Xylon said smugly. He does whatever he wants to whenever he feels like it. He doesn’t have to listen to anyone.

Nyra rolled her eyes in annoyance, he looks very conceited with his red hair. “What are you doing out here?”. Nyra asked.

“Of course I came to…”

“Are you done so soon?” Nyra chips in. She opened her mouth in surprised as her eyes looked from his face to the lower part of his body and she shook her head slowly.

“What? What do you mean?” Xylon asked. Then he saw Nyra’s eyes eyes going lower, he quickly covered his zipper with his hands. “What are you looking at” He asked aghast.

“I asked if you are always this fast?” Nyra smiled as his face scrunched up in horror. He teased her first, she was just returning the favor.

“What do you mean? I didn’t do anything in the first place”. Xylon defended. Anyone would know that nothing happened, why was she spouting nonsense.

“Oh really?” Nyra smiled playfully.

Xylon looked at her and it clicked, she was just teasing him. He raised his brows as he smirked, his gunmetal blue eyes glinted wickedly as he said “If you are so unsure why don’t you check it out for yourself”. His smile widened as he saw Nyra’s smile slowly wiping off her face.

“You can check it out now. Don’t worry I don’t bite” Xylon pressed. He has finally gained the upper hand.

“Who wants to check out anything with you? In your dreams”. Nyra scoffed.

Xylon looked as she was being defensive and he said “Oh I forgot, you have a boyfriend”. Xylon rubbed his jaw as if he was contemplating on something.

Nyra’s countenance changed as she listened to Xylon. “You don’t have to concern yourself with trivial things like that”. She got up from the couch and turned to head out.

“Wait!” Xylon called out. He noticed in the changed in her emotions immediately he mentioned her boyfriend. Maybe they had a lovers quarrel, he decided to change the conversation.

“Why were you looking for me?” They have only met occasionally, they don’t really have close ties so there was no reason for her look for him in his room.

“Oh” Nyra halted. She just remembered the reason she why she was waiting for him in the first place. She gritted her teeth in anger, seems like Lucan still bothers her more than she thought.

She turned to face Xylon with a slight smile “Do you happen to know two tall guys, pale skinned with dark hair” Nyra described. That was the closest way she could describe them.

“What?” Xylon was exasperated. So she ran into his room and disrupted him because of some random guys. He closed his eyes tightly in a bid to calm himself down. He should have just continued what he was doing instead of running out.

Nyra looked at him and felt like he was just exaggerating. Why does he looks as if he lost everything he owns. “Do you know them or not?” Nyra asked.

“Who the hell are you talking about?” Xylon asked surprised. Why would she ask him about some random guys out the blue.

“Are you sure they didn’t come with you, I was so sure they looked like people from Starry night pack” Nyra said thoughtfully. Does that mean she and Koryn made a mistake?

“I don’t know them!” Xylon emphasized on his words. He definitely doesn’t know any tall dark haired people from his pack.

“That’s surprising”. She said. Then she gasped in surprise, does that mean they are no longer in Blackwood pack? what if they left with the other alphas that left earlier.

She turned as she quickly rushed outside, she had to look around the packhouse, they might still be around by sheer luck.

Xylon was still stunned by her unexpected question as he stared at her as she ran out. “What an odd woman” He muttered as he sauntered towards the kitchen. He was very hungry.
