ISABELLA'S POV
I swallowed the lump in my throat, forcing myself to meet Xavier's intense gaze. “You were looking for me... What do you want?”
His eyes narrowed on me, and I could feel the restrained struggle from him, as if he was holding himself back.
“How long have you been here? Why did you not come back to the Lunar Crescent Pack?”
His questions took me off guard, though I somehow expected him to ask that, my heart still began to race once more. But I kept my back straight, trying to keep my voice steady.
“I believe how long I’ve been here doesn’t concern you... I have my own reasons, and they’re mine alone.”
He growled, I could see the frustration and anger on his face but I didn’t budge. I didn’t give me a space to cut in as I continued, my voice turning colder as I went on.
