The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply by Demiah13

:Xavier’s pov;

“You’ve really outdone yourself this time Xavier.” Eli murmurs, leaning against the wall, his legs crossed, his arms crossed.

He looked tired and noticeable unnerved.

“Spit out whatever you need to tell me,” I grumble knowing he had heard every single thing that happened in my study. Which meant that he knew Aurora was my mate. I should’ve made those walls soundproof.

I’ll have to look into that.

Eli face tums into one of shock as he places his hand on his chest, feigning a look of hurt. “You wound me Alpha. You make it sound as though I’ll accuse you of keeping such a huge secret from me. Although I’m disappointed in knowing you didn’t trust me enough to tell me about her, I think I know you too well to know how arrogant and sometimes too proud you can be. You’d never let anyone know your weakness. ‘He snorted.

I narrowed my eyes on him, my jaw ticking. He was right. I didn’t want anyone to know my weakness, which was one of the main reasons I kept the truth about Aurora away from them.

“Don’t anger me Eli You know how Reckon can be.” I warned.

‘I will not hurt the fool for he’s actually right. But he failed to mention that you’re one of the biggest idiots alive. You’re a useless human who doesn’t deserve her. I should

I push Reckon at the back of my head, forceful and with much effort.

I ignored Eli and opened the door to my room. There’s no heartbeat and no sound of faint breathing. The room is empty.

I stiffen

“Where is she?” I turn to Eli with a snarl, anger rising and admittedly fear.

His gaze shifts to the other room and he nudges his head at the door. “She went in there. She’s upset Xavier and she looks like she needs her space.”

I didn’t like my Gamma telling me that my mate needed space, especially space from me. But I knew he was right. She’s upset.

I caused this but in order to protect her from my burdens and my enemies, I have to let her go. I know I’ll probably grow weaker without her here but that’s something I’d willingly suffer if she’s at least safe and away from my troubles,

“You can leave now Eli. I’m here.” I mumble, after calming my raging anger.

He looks reluctant but nods. “I won’t tell Samuel or Chris if that’s what you feared. Like I’ve said millions of times before Xavier, you can trust me.”

I gave a single nod, detecting the truth in his words. He turns around to leave but I stop him. “Be outside before five in the moming. We’re going hunting for any evidence that it’s Raphael who’s the culprit.”

Eli tums around his eyes shifting from the door to my face before smirking. “Planning to avoid her until she leaves?”

When I don’t answer he laughs and walks away. When he’s out of sight, my gaze is drawn to the door.

I’m just going to take a quick peek to see if she’s alright.

Just a quick peek, nothing more.

But as I opened the door and stared at the lump on the bed, my heart raced. I didn’t want to let her go.

While I was devouring her essence, I looked for that mark Rodrick said might be there. There wasn’t any. So I had no more doubts she was actually my mate and not some witch’s creation

She was my mate.

Mine.

Which meant protecting her was my top priority.

I listened to her soft shallow breaths, the sound of her heart, and the sighs she lets out. I relish in them. Making sure I keep them safely in my mind because I knew this would be the last night I’d hear them.
