Celeste's POV

I go to my room after helping clear the table, Zay offering to do the dishes. I thanked her before going upstairs. Erin and David had said they wanted to walk the pack grounds before it got dark out, giving me the perfect getaway.

I grab a book from my nightstand before settling myself in bed and turning on the TV for some background noise. Hours go by before a knock comes to my door, Xavier's scent on the other side. "Come in," I call out gently while bookmarking my page. Xavier's face is grim. "What's wrong?" My blanket falls from around my shoulders as I go to him, grabbing his hand in mine.

"They lost the trail, Christopher is officially lost." My shoulders slump.

"So what do we do now?"

"We make some more calls, keep doing what we've been doing in trying to track the rogues back to Malum." I nod, knowing that that trail has been leading us nowhere.

"I'm sorry, Xavier." He sighs and pulls me to him, our chests colliding softly as I burrowed my head into his shirt.

"Don't be. There's nothing we could do." We stay like that for a minute, just holding onto each other.

"Are we ready for the barbeque?"

"Yea," he says in a hum. "I'm sorry about my Dad, earlier. He's not the most kind hearted of men and his words are often unfiltered thoughts."

"Don't apologize for actions that aren't your own."

His chest rumbles in a deep chuckle, "Who taught you that?"

"Lycer."

He growls ever so slightly before coughing. I laugh a little, knowing his wolf definitely broke through there. Xavier tries so hard to be understanding of mine and Lycer's relationship. His wolf, on the other hand, probably finds nothing more than a challenge in Lycer's existence. "Sorry," he grumbles.

"You know I only care that way for you, right?"

"Until you bear my mark, my wolf won't be truly settled."

"I'm sorry," I apologize. He scoffs.

"Don't be. My wolf is an impatient asshole. We do things in your time, little one."

"Thank you," I pull my head up and catch his eyes, a blush decorating my nose. He leans down, pressing his lips to my red nose. "I appreciate you more than you'll ever know." I push myself up and gently press my lips to his. It's no surprise when his arms tighten around me, his lips pressing firmer against mine. It is a surprise when he picks me up, wrapping my legs around his waist and carrying me towards the bed. He sits himself down, me on top of him, our lips still desperately moving against each other. He breaks the kiss, tilting my head to the side and kissing his way down my neck. I gasp as his teeth take in a chunk of my skin, biting harshly. It was painful, shocking, but then his tongue came out and soothed the ache and I found a harsh noise coming from my mouth. His hands on my hips tightened and pulled me even closer to him. "X-Xavier," I harshly whispered. He growled and bit at my neck again, kissing his way up and down furiously. "Everyone is waiting for us." This is too much, my head is spinning. A strange ache finds its way to my stomach and I whimper as his teeth come out again to play. He kisses my neck again and makes his way back to my lips.
