I whine, trying to squirm out of his grip.

"Anything?" Xavier asks. I can see the sly smirk on his face because he stopped tickling me. I still can't move because he has me trapped.

"Yes, anything!" I scream out. And a second after that, I feel Xavier's lips on me; I'm stunned for a second. But after I recover from the first shock, I let him kiss me, and I kiss him back, with just as much passion as he did. But still, there misses something. I spin us over, so I'm on top of him instead that he's on top of me.

We break the kiss, and I look deep into his eyes to see it has changed its color. He closes his eyes, and his face looked like he was having an internal battle with himself. After few seconds, he opens his eyes, and it's back to its usual color. I let it slide, thinking that it might be my imagination.

"Anyway, let's get to business, I have already talked to my PA, and he said that he had already taken care of the news and media. They aren't going to bother you. But, I still have arranged security for you just in case." Xavier said while getting up from me and helping me to get on my feet. I open my mouth to say something, but he interrupts me.

"I know what you want to say, that you don't want bodyguards. following you around every you go, and that it will gather too much attention, right?" Xavier asks, and I nodded my head at him.

"Don't worry; I haven't arranged bodyguards for you. I have guards protecting you from the shadows. They will only appear in front of you if they sense any danger around you," Xavier said while smiling at me, and I sigh in relief. I thought he would argue with me about how it is for my own safety.

"And about the press conference, when do you want to have it to announce our relationship in the media?" Xavier asks while pouring some wine for both of us.

"Yeah, about that, can we wait for some time. I have just broken up with my boyfriend, and I don't think I am ready for such a big step. Can we please take it slowly? I mean, we just met, and we didn't even know much about each other," I ask while looking at him pleadingly.

"Yeah, I figure that much. Take your time; I don't want to rush it to anyway," Xavier said, smiling at me. Then I heard my favorite song playing somewhere in the house.

"Is someone playing "Rest of my life" somewhere?" I ask Xavier.

"Yeah, it is Abby's favorite song. She likes to play it when she cooks for us," Xavier's said to me.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Xavier asks me.

"Sure," I said and accepted his hand. He led me to an empty space in his office, played the song on his mobile, and started dancing with me. We dance to few more songs and spend some time with each other trying to know each other better until Abby call us for lunch. 

After lunch, Xavier led me to the guest room to get some rest and get ready for the party.

Chapter - 37

 

(Elena P.O.V)

 

I tried to rest before the party but can't do that because I feel that something will happen at the party. So I decided to do some work instead. I took my laptop out of my bag and started to prepare the report I have to submit on Friday.

 

After a few hours, I look up at the clock and see I still have some time to get ready for the party. I started to feel hungry and walked downstairs to see Abby making some to eat.

 

"Do you need something, Elena?" Abby asks me.

 

"Yeah, I was feeling hungry, so I come here to find something to eat," I said, smiling at her.

 

"Good, I was thinking of bringing some tea and snacks. To your room," Abby said while smiling at me and serve me freshly made bread and muffins with herbal tea. We have tea together while talking about Xavier and us.

 

"You have no idea how happy I was that time when Xavier told me he likes someone he would like to spend his life with. I was seriously getting irritated with all his hook-ups," Abby said while smiling at me, and I just smiled at her, not have anything to say about that to her.

 

"Oh, look at the time. It's a wonder how time passes when you are having so much fun. You should go and get ready for the party," Abby said to me and walked out of the kitchen after cleaning it. I look at the look and see that it's almost time to head for the party. I walk to my room and step inside the washroom to shower after putting in everything I needed for the party.

 

After a shower, I dry myself and get dressed. I'm wearing a dress covered in black lace, with black strappy Louboutin heels. And simple, elegant make-up. I nervously smooth down my dress, and I check my make-up one last time in the mirror. I pick up my clutch and check if I have everything, bag check, mobile - check. Okay, I have everything.

 

I walk downstairs to see Xavier is waiting for me in a striking black suit with a white button-up. When he sees me, his mouth falls open. He eyes me up and down.

 

 "You look amazing," Xavier says with his mouth still hanging open.

 

"Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself either." I say, "Now close your mouth, or you're going to catch flies." I added with a wink.

 

"We still have some time until we head to the party. Would you like to have some drink?" Xavier asks me while taking out two glasses from his, selves and a bottle of red wine from his fridge.

 

"No, I will pass," I said to him. 

 

"I think you should grab a drink. You look nervous. Is it your first time attending a charity party?" he asks me.

 

"Yes, even if it was an office party, there were going to be media bothering us about our relationship status," I said while fidgetting with my hand.

 

"That's why I asked you for a drink. It will help to calm your nerves; besides, a sip or two won't hurt, would it?" Xavier asks while passing the glass to me with a smile on his face. I take few sips of wine, and it really calmed me down. 

 

After some time, the driver comes and take my bag from me and led us to the car. It only takes us half an hour to reach the mansion or hall, where the party was.

 

 We drive up to the red carpet and stop right in front of it. Xavier squeeze my hand as reassurance. Although the windows are tinted so people can't look inside, I can still see the many media flashes of cameras.

 

Xavier holds out his hand for me to grab, and I hold on to it. Like it's my lifeline.

 

Xavier opens the door of the car and steps out onto the red carpet. He helps me out of the car, and immediately cameras are flashing everywhere, not wanting to miss this moment.

 

"Xavier McKnight, is this the mystery girl from the restaurant? I" I hear a reporter ask.

 

"Is she your girlfriend?" I hear another reporter asks him.

 

Everywhere around me, I hear Xavier's name being called by the reporters, trying to get Xavier to answer some of their questions. The security is straining to keep them at a safe distance from us. I know that the media will go crazy after the news in the newspaper, but I was not ready for this. It was too intense.

 

We hurry inside, trying to ignore the cameras going off around us. When we are inside. and the doors are closed behind us, Xavier looks at me worriedly. I'm still a little bit shaken by all the fuss made by the media outside the hall.

 

"Are you okay?" Xavier asks, searching my face for any singes of serious distress.

 

"Yeah, just a little bit shaken up. I didn't expect that. I'm not used to all that attention." 

 

We walk up towards the big double doors leading us to the event, and the event is already in full swing as we can hear the music through the doors.

 

The doors are opened by two butlers smiling at us nicely. Xavier drapes his arm around my waist, easing some off my stress. We walk through the doors, and I can immediately feel all the eyes burning on me. I see the jealous stares off some women wishing to be me. At the same time, some other men were wishing to be Xavier right now. But one particular person catches my attention.

 

Oliver

 

What the hell is he doing here? Isn't this party to be for all the influential people or benefactors of Xavier's company and personal friends. He looks seriously pissed right now. Is he angry with me for moving on in my life so soon? But Xavier and I haven't become a real couple yet. But the way we are standing with Xavier's arm on my shoulder, people will think we are a couple.

 

But he shouldn't be pissed at me, it's not like we are still couples, and I am cheating on him. Or does he think that we are still a couple? He doesn't, does he?

 

(Oliver's P.O.V.)

 

The big doors open, catching my attention. I look up to see who is arriving, maybe some late people? But instead, I'm greeted with the sight of Xavier and his date. Elena, she looks stunning in that dress. I look around and see all the men staring at her. I growl possessively. I then notice the arm that is draped around Ellena's waist. 

 

I was surprised that I didn't want to shatter him into pieces. And this only upsets me even more. He is holding my mate in his arms. Shouldn't I be pissed at him?

 

*No, you can't, because like us, he and his wolf is also Elena's mate* my wolf said to me.

 

*What? But how is it possible? besides, how do you know that they are mates too?* I ask my wolf.

 

"Yes, it's possible. Don't ask me how because even I don't know about it. Maybe your father can shed some light regarding it. And about how I know that they are mates, it's because of the way he was looking at her. He looks at her the same way we looked at Elena when we were with her. " my wolf said to me.

 

"Don't do it, Oliver. We can't lose him; the pack can't survive without his money," Manson says. I growl slightly at him, trying to get my wolf under control.

 

"Kill those bastards," My wolf possessively says, angry by all the men undressing her with their eyes. I see them getting a seat at the head table. We sit fairly close to them.
