Devenity: Unknown World

Chapter 3

The painful realization of how much my life changed without me experiencing it pushed my brain into thinking about several different things causing a migraine. I wanted to know who did this to me, who had so much hatred for me they wanted to kill me? I was awake and already getting furious with the unanswered questions in my head.

My attention was drawn by a knock on the door, I took deep breathes to calm myself down because I didn't want anyone to see me stressed already;

"Come in"

It was Xayvion, he let himself into the room and stood mere inches away from me

"I know I was supposed to give you some privacy but I just can't help myself"

I really missed this man, everything about him, his charm, his face, his character, everything, it made me even more furious that I wasted 2 years of being with him

"It's okay, I just finished with my shower"

"I can see that, did you enjoy it?"

"Yeah, it was refreshing to be able to control my own body once again, and the water was amazing"

He gave a concerned look

"Something tells me the hot shower wasn't enough to remove all your stress"

"You are absolutely right"

I rose from the bed and paced the floor to the window

"I'm happy that I'm back, don't get me wrong, but I'm also upset"

"Upset about what?"

"Everything, 2 years Xayvion, I was gone for 2 years, I was here but still gone...I missed out on everything"

"But you're back, that's the most important thing, right?"

"Yeah, back to no answers, more questions and uncertainty, I know I'm supposed to be grateful but coming back to the same problems I left behind is depressing...and what if...what if this time instead of putting me in a coma these anonymous people trying to hurt me will kill me"

Xayvion took two steps forward and he was already standing in front of me

"Listen, Dev, I don't want to be a bad mate and not give you support at this time or not reassure you that everything will be fine and we'll find your answers soon...but right now...right now I'm just glad that my mate is back, I don't want to think about anything else at this particular moment, everything can come later but right now...I just want to be with you"

I caught his gaze and held it, in his eyes was pain, confusion, uncertainty, and relief all mixed together, he too is going through so much, he probably thinks it's all still a dream, or I'll go back into a coma any time soon.

Extending my arms to him, I wrapped him in a hug and squeezed him tight, he followed suit and pressed my body close to his. Our body heat was increasing the longer we spent in each other's arms, I didn't want to let go, neither did he, my hands wrapped around his neck firmly as he trailed my body mischievously.

Stroking up and my back, I got shivers from his fingers on my bare skin, every stroke causing a rise deep inside of me, I never craved his touch this much before. I suddenly became aware that he was the only one fully clothed, strangely enough, it didn't bother me at all, I was suddenly confident and hopeful to show him all of me.

"Have you always been this willing?"

"I guess I just missed you so much"

Using the heat my body was generating from his as a boost, I let myself loose on his neck, kissing and biting in a frenzy. What was supposed to be a hug of comfort and reassurance quickly diverted into something more intense, Xayvion grabbed my waist and pressed me against him more, I began to feel things I had never felt before

"Looks like you missed me too"

"More than you can imagine"

Leading me away from the window, he pushed me into a corner, I could feel his eagerness, his passion, he was trying desperately to gain control of himself. I, by no means, wanted to control myself, it was my way of taking back the years we lost, we could have done so much together. I pulled him close to me, with much urgency I claimed his lips as mine, in an instant he responded, grabbing a handful of my hair in his hand we both fought for dominance over the other.

Tracing my hands up and down his chest, I was just about to reach for his belt when suddenly there was another knock at the door. We paused our movements, Xayvion rolled his eyes and sighed;

"This better be something good or I'll be really angry"

Stepping away from me, he crossed the room to get me some clothes from his dresser, a plain white t-shirt, and a pair of boxers

"Put these on for the meantime"

I quickly slipped on the clothes given to me and stood next to him, standing beside him I noticed that we weren't too far off in height, sure I was still below him but the distance wasn't as much as before

"Come"

Charlotte walked in

"I'm sorry to interrupt the couple's reunion but...Xayvion, they're here"

"Again? What the hell, I'm going to issue a kill on-site in the pack specifically for those buzzards"

"Who's here?"

"Your so-called sisters"

"What are they doing here?"

"What they always do, insult Xayvion and threaten us to give you back"

"Just tell them to go away"

"Wait"

I turned to Xayvion

"I-I want to talk to them"

"Why? They're so annoying"

"Actually one sister is more annoying than the other", Charlotte added

"Doesn't matter, you shouldn't give them your time, especially since you just woke up"

"I know but Xay, but think about it, them coming here every day to force you to give me back to them, them claiming me as their sister, what would they gain from all that? Shouldn't we try to hear them out?"

"It's dangerous, they look nothing like you and for all we know, it could be a scheme"

"Please, let me just talk to them"

He became uptight, I was unsure if him refusing to let me go was because of my safety or because he didn't want to let me go if their claims were true.

***

For some reason my heart was beating uncontrollably, I didn't think I was nervous, I hardly knew the girls so why would I be? As we entered the living room, the two girls immediately rose from their seats, Xayvion raised his hand to halt them from coming closer to me;

"How dare you? You have no right to stop me from coming close to my sister"

She was a feisty one, her features were very defined, she had a hard face but a button nose which softened her facial expressions a little and made her look more adorable

"Bel, please calm down, you promised you'd take it easy"

Bel? I've heard that name somewhere before, haven't I?

"I'm sorry, she's just a little stressed right now"

She was softer than her sister, no doubt she was younger, she stood gracefully and gave off a calm aura

"Um, it's nice to see you, I'm sorry but I'm unfamiliar with your names"

"This can't be happening, they really brainwashed you here, didn't they?"

"Bel, stop it now, we won't go anywhere far if you keep behaving like this"

"You see? I told you they are irritating", Xayvion whispered into my ear

"I'm sorry, my name is Emerlae and this is Belcaris...we are your younger sisters"

"You've been claiming that since you got here but what proof do you have?"

"You see Eme, you see what's happening? They've brainwashed her so good she doesn't believe us"

"Bel aren't you ashamed of yourself? Listen to how stupid you sound, this is why they don't like us coming here"

"As if I give a damn what these monsters like"

"You come into my territory and insult me and my pack, have you lost your sense?"

Xayvion glared, he really didn't like Belcaris and she, in turn, did not like him either

"That's enough, there's no need to fight, it's wasting all our time, let's just get to the point here, how did you find yourselves here, and why are you looking for me?"

"I'll answer", Emerlae raised her hand, "we've been tracking your scent for so many years, ever since you suddenly disappeared, it hasn't been easy, your trail went cold and we almost lost hope. 2 years ago, by a miracle sent to us by the moon, your scent came back, it was faint but good enough to start the tracking process, we searched high and low for you until we decided to go from pack to pack to see if you were there and sure enough, you were here...in enemy territory"

"Enemy territory? I don't even know who you are?", Xayvion intervened

"Be quiet you lair"

"Stop it, Emerlae please continue"

"When we finally found you we didn't expect that you wouldn't recognize us, it was a setback but we were determined to bring you back home"

"And where exactly is home?"

"In the mountains", Belcaris answered, "far away from these heathens"

"One more word from you and I'll personally show you the way out through my boot"

"You can try, but now that I know my sister is awake I'm not leaving this place without her"

"I'm sorry but that won't happen"

Belcaris bore a shocked expression 

"What?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you guys but I can't go anywhere with you...I don't trust you"

She turned to Xayvion

"This is all your fault, after everything you've done to us you still continue to hurt us"

"I can't stress this enough, I don't know who the hell you are and certainly don't give a damn, whatever fake vendetta you have against me, keep it to yourself and don't involve my mate in your nonsense"

The air was stiff, Belcaris and Xayvion looked like they were about to have a showdown, both glaring intensely at each other. Emerlae, on the other hand, did not seem to want to fight, she actually looked like she had the fight drained out of her, she gave me an expression that said she understood my position, I felt bad that I couldn't go with her

"This, this isn't over Xayvion Cage, best believe I will be back and when I come back she's going back home with us and you'll never see her again"

"Don't be so stupid to threaten an alpha in his territory, I don't know what image you have of me but I can quickly alter it and you won't like that"

I reached out for Xayvion's hand and pulled him back, Belcaris looked hurt above everything else. I didn't want to be put in such a situation but I asked for it by wanting to see them. If indeed it is true that they are my sisters I would need solid proof, a part of me is happy because if by some chance we are related I could be coming close to getting some answers, the other part is scared of what my new 'family' could bring.
