Chapter 74 Seventy four
Irene's P.O.V

A silence that made me uncomfortable and made my stomach tie a knot formed between the three of usas I was resisting all the urge to not fiddle my hands before Xavier. All of a sudden, I was taken aback when I felt someone, brushing his fingers on my hair while patting me on the head slowly.

I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who it was because I knew that it was no one other than Xavier. I pursed my lips slightly as I was hit by a sudden wave of nervousness that made my stomach churn. I had no idea why it felt like I was about to fall on my knees to the ground but what I knew was that the way Xavier patted me on the head was damn good.

"Raise your head" I heard Xavier say as I raised my head and fixed my gaze on him. I was totally at a loss for words to say because of the way his emerald eyes pierced into mine.

I felt butterflies flying in my stomach as I gulped on my spittle and forced out a smile that faltered quickly.

Slowly, all the excitement building inside of me disappeared as Xavier removed his hands away from my head. He turned to look at Damian who shot a death stare at me before fixing his gaze back to Xavier.

I swallowed the heavy lump that formed in my throat before lowering my head while hoping that Xavier would sort things out in a way that wouldn't allow Damian to be that annoyed with me.

Xavier placed his hands on Damian's shoulders, squeezing it gently before proceeding to talk."You shouldn't have banged your fist on the door like that! What if your actions have caused her to panic out of fear?"

Damian turned to look at me with a flicker of rage in his eyes and the fact that he was going to be on the trip with me to Scotland scared me and sent shivers down my spine. Different thoughts raced through my head, wondering if me not answering when he called for me would make him contemplate throwing me out of the plane as soon as it began to move.

"How would he throw you out of the plane when Xavier would be by your side?" The voice in my head said as I fixed my gaze back to the two of them and even though I couldn't read minds, I was damn sure that he was cursing me inside of him.

"You do know that I do not like any type of noise whenever it's time for me to undergo my punishment" Xavier said while Damian raised his head with a surprised look on his face. His mouth was agape as he attempted to say a word but quickly clamped his mouth shut.

Xavier scoffed and he had this look that made it feel like he could read Damian's mind.

"Don't tell me that you had no idea that it was yesterday? You being my second in command meant that you needed to tend to me and stay right by my side because you know that's the season when my punishment begins" Xavier said.

Damian lowered his head before proceeding to speak. "Alpha Xavier, I swear that I had no idea that it was yesterday. I was also busy with the work that you assigned me to do and yesterday was the 26th . Wait for a second, you usually undergo your punishment on the 27th so how is it possible that you were punished earlier than the usual time? "

My eyebrows furrowed in nothing but utter confusion because the more I tried to grasp what they meant by the punishment, the harder it was for me to even get what they were saying. What punishment were they talking about and most especially, what did Xavier do for him to be punished.

Slowly, all the memories from yesterday came rushing in my head as I fixed my gaze back to Xavier. The only thing that flashed through my head was how he went from someone who looked like he was near his grave to looking like someone bubbly.

I contemplated cutting into their conversation or just minding my own business since Xavier was the type of person that didn't like to be interrupted whenever he was conversing with someone.

"Wait, I think that you are right! Something isn't right somewhere and I need to find out about what could be wrong with me. However, that would be after we get back from Scotland '' Xavier said as he lifted his hand and ran it through his hair.

"Well, what I want you to know is that she was the one who tended to me last night" Xavier said as Damian turned to look at me with guilt on his face.

"I am really sorry, Alpha Xaveir and most importantly, I am sorry Irene. I was pretty inconsiderate and I should have never talked to you in that rude tone and manner. Trust me that if I had any idea about what you went through, I wouldn't have banged on the door like that"

A smile formed on my face as I nodded my head, slipping my hands down my pocket. "I understand you and everyone in your situation would have actually been annoyed but I am so sorry for everything"

"You don't need to apologize! I should be the one apologizing till the guilt inside of me finally disappears. I also want to thank you for being there for Alpha Xavier! I really appreciate you and I don't even know how to thank you enough"

Xavier rolled his eyes before cutting into our conversation. "You know what, you can keep apologizing to each other on the plane but we have a flight to catch"

I went into my room full of glee before going out to meet Alpha Xavier. However, there was an angry look on his face while I followed the direction of his eyes and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets on seeing my passport and visa torn into pieces.
