---- legs turn jelly.

A thousand eyes were on me or rather on my belly which was clearly evident There were no applauses for my welcome.

This wasn't even a welcome.

This was a show of my unfaithfulness.

My eyes move to the culprit in that huge crowd and I see her sipping her drink.

She seemed to enjoy this.Like I was some source of her entertainment while she possessed my remote.

I clench my fists as the gossiping and belittling follows.

This must be a sick joke- That can't be King Xavier's child.

She stayed there with that animal.

Who knows what all she did with him.noveldrama

What else.

I bet she opened her legs for him- I cant listen to all this again.

---- eee Ineed to go away.

Clenching my dress material in my fists.

I turn around to go back to my room when all of a sudden all the voices die down.

Confused I look back and that's when I see a familiar pair of grey eyes staring back at me.

Clad in a navy blue tuxedo and white shirt, Xavier steps up the stairs to stand in front of me.

He offers his open palm to me and I feel my palms turn clammy.

Anxiety hits my chest.

His actions were sincere, yet his eyes.

They were avoiding mine.

Gulping I slowly press my hand into his and he tightly grips it to stick me to his side.

Smile doll.

He leans in the seethe into my ear and I gulp to put on that fake smile.

His arm wraps around my waist, yet unlike earlier his touch felt different..

Tt was hauntingly controlling ---- He leads me down the stairs and soon Xavier meets with important guests.

His grip didn't losen around me even once.

I keep taking hidden glances at his face, hoping to read his emotions through the cracks in his fascade.

But there were none.

He was smiling at the guests like nothing was wrong.

Ate you alright Mrs Sierra? We thought we lost you back there.

Its a real surprise you came back escaping that beasts clutches.

Are you sure that sick man didn't touch you? I look up to see Alpha Tyler , directing the question at me and I feel Xavier's grip tighten on me.

Anyone but this man.

I have heard he was charged of assaulting woman but he escaped because of his connections.

He is the son of a council member you see.

Men like him disgust me.

---- eee = Tyler and his friends stare at my belly, with mocking smirks on their faces and I clench my fists.

The sick man.

Adrian.

They are referring to him.

Crets are said to devour werewolf woman like beasts.

And you were the only pure blood there.

Lexpected Xavier to say something in my defence.

To bloody whack this mans face or better beat him to pulp.

But my hopes shattered when Xavier drops his eyes to rub his jaw in awkwardness.

Was he really going to let everyone say this bullshit to me? Excuse us- Xavier tries to pull me along when I hold my ground Thave nothing to be afraid of.

Thave to raise my own voice in my defence if no one else can.
