"You asked of me" Xavier said as he walked into the study.
"It's getting complicated on my side" Xander said while flipping a book on the table. "What about your's? You found her yet?" He asked as he raised his head while closing the book.
"Almost" Xavier answered
"Almost?" Xander asked with his eyebrows c****d.
"Yeah, picked up her sweet scent but didn't see her. Someone wants to play hide and a seek a little. But no worries, I will find her soon. What about you? Found her yet?"
"I have" Xander said as the sweetest smile lit up on his face.
"Woawwww!!! When was the last time I saw the great Aleaxander Anderson smile. How is she? Will you still torture the living daylights out of her?"
"Torture? I would never. She's the sweetest,most innocent thing. She's like a breath of fresh air. Like a little lamb. But there is a problem though"
"You used all these qualities to describe her but she still has problems?" Xavier asked amusingly.
"Whenever I'm with her, I feel the same way I felt with...... Her"
"By 'her', I hope you don't mean......"
"Yeah. Is that even possible?"
"s**t. That is a problem. There are not the same person. She's long dead. So how...."
"And there is another problem"
"What now?" Xavier asked even though he was afraid to hear the second issue.
"She's their daughter"
"Who are we talking about here?"
"Roid and Catherine or should I say, Jason and Annabelle's daughter"
"You mean those blood sucking demons?!!!!". Now Xavier was pissed.
"Calm down Xavier. This is not our turf"
"As if. Let them wage a war with us if they dare"
"I'm not talking about them, dummy. My Princess is asleep in the next room"
"Ohhh. Sorry about that. I forgot we were in her study" He chuckled while scratching the back of his neck. "But what are you planning to do now?"
"I don't know what to do as of now. But I won't let her go this time. She rejected me the first time, but not this time. Besides I intend to summon Irene for some answers. She might have an inkling on what's going on"
"You intend to summon the witch?! Do I need to remind you of the reason 'You' banished her in the first place"
"I know. But I wouldn't have seeked her out if I had any other choice"
"But..."
"Look Xavier, I lost her the first time because of my mistakes. I don't intend to make the same mistakes again. I won't lose Zoe like I lost her. So I rather take that risk. I just hope you support me this time"
"Fine, for you to go to this extent for her REGARDLESS of the fact you guys just met. Then she must be worth it"
"Trust me, she is" Xander said and patted Xavier's shoulder "Now if you will excuse me, I promised my Princess I would be by her side when she wakes up and it's almost dawn".
"Why do I have a feeling you are going to be a total wife slave?"
"Isn't it already happening?" Xander laughed and left the hall.
Alone in the study, Xavier recalled the words a certain maiden of the White Stone Pack had said to him earlier that evening...
"I'm sorry but I don't think we can be mates, so I hope you can reject the bond"
"Can I have some time to think about it?" Xavier asked sadly.
"Yes, you can. But my response will be the same"
Smiling, he whispered to himself "How could I reject you, when I have loved you even before this night. So no. I'm not breaking our bond. Instead I will make you mine Phoebe. Just you wait and see".
