Irene’s P.O.V
I stood frozen to a spot while trying to wonder who could be in the kitchen by the time of the night. Maybe I should have just slept off despite knowing how thirsty I was because me coming here now would make me have an encounter with someone and if it was Kourtney who was at the kitchen, then she would have cause a scene for sure and Kourtney being in the kitchen meant another series of trouble for me.
I slipped a hand through my hair and contemplated either returning to my room like that and sleep despite me being thirsty. Amidst my thoughts, my stomach made a growl that was so loud that I was scared that whoever was in the kitchen would surely notice. I was still rooted to the same spot when I heard the sound of someone munching something hard.
“Maybe the person is hungry as I am” I thought to myself as I heaved out a sigh and took in a deep breathe that seemed to calm
the rate at which my heart juddered in my chest. I clenched the side of my shirt as I placed a hand on my forehead while mustering all the courage and gathering the remaining strength i had left in me.
I dragged my leg toward the door and the only thing I prayed for that it wasn’t Kourtney or Xavier and with the way something was being eaten late at night, I was sure that it wasn’t Xavier because he was someone who rarely came out of his room late in the night and the more I thought about it, Kourtney wasn’t the type of person to come out late in the night as well.
So, it must either be Damian, Steve or one of the maids.
The only thing I needed to do was grab a bottle of water that would see me through the morning then dash out of the kitchen without making any interaction with whoever could be inside. I swallowed the heavy lump that formed in my throat as I poked my head inside and swiveled my gaze around the kitchen before scanning the kitchen with my eyes.
No one was in there and it caused me to be taken aback for a second because I was damn sure that I heard the footsteps of someone and I was also sure that I heard someone munch on food. Maybe I was hallucinating but I was so sure that I heard someone make a movement.
“I must be hallucinating! It isn’t possible to not to see someone in here and my fear must have been worsened by that bastard called Steve. Xavier must really think that he is a nice person! Well, I don’t care anymore since Xavier isn’t any different from Steve and they were birds of the same feather because they both exhibited bad characters that should never be emulated” I thought inside of me as I sauntered to the kitchen and began to hum a song.
I was humming a song when a thought flashed through my head and my mind strayed toward what had happened earlier when someone flashed a light at my face.
“There’s a possibility that this place might be haunted and I am well sure of it because the more I think about it, the more I am starting to realize that not a single member of this house is normal in anyway! I am the only one nornal” I muttered to myself as I reached my hands for a bottle of water while gulping down the whole content.
“Arrrgh!” I groaned because I couldn’t actually believe that I was able to down that bottle of water.
I was about to return the other bottle of water in my hands when my eyes caught something laying on the Kitchen’s counter. It was a bottle of wine and a packet of chips that was unsealed.
“I said it! I knew that someone was here but where did the person suddenly disappear to” I asked myself when I caught sight of someone sitting behind the kitchen’s door.
My eyes almost popped out of my socket and the bottle of water that I was holding on to fell from my hands as water splashed to the ground. My heart palpated in fear as I tried to cover my mouth with my hands in a bid to suppress the gasps that were trying to escape my mouth.
“You must be kidding me” My words were muffled as I blinked my eyes continuously because I was sure that I wasn’t seeing right in any way.
“A-Alpha Xavier” I stuttered as my lower lip trembled.
What actually scared me was the condition that I found Xavier in. His eyes were reddened as the bottle of wine dangled in his hands. I was about to talk when he suddenly caught in.
“Don’t come closer to me, it won't break nor fall from my hands. The fact that I said that you shouldn’t delay me tomorrow morning doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be asleep by this time of the night. Please don’t make me out to be the villain that I am not” He muttered as his eyes closed at intervals.
I exhaled out sharply and opened my mouth to say a word but I was at loss for words to say.
“Why are you asleep? Are you that excited about going to Scotland” He gritted his teeth and I almost gasped for breath when I saw the blood that was smeared on his teeth.
“Alpha Xavier” I exclaimed and rushed toward him.
He seemed to be going through a lot of pain at the moment and even though I was planning on leaving him soon, I couldn’t abandon him at that moment. I fell to the ground and motioned for him to climb on my back so that I could carry him on my back to the room.
He bursted out in hysterics as he fell motionlessly on me. He fainted!
