Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord

"No!" Vivienne yelled, trying to move forward to help Xavier, only to be held back by Michael. "What are you doing? We can’t just stand here."

"You going over there will only create a shield for Darius to use to hide from Xavier. You’ve done enough for now, don’t you think?" Michael replied, letting go of Vivienne’s hand. "Xavier doesn’t need help. Did you miss where he revealed he has two weapons?"

"But," Vivienne said, still worried something might go wrong. "If Darius lands a blow, Xavier will not heal from it."

Michael watched the two purebloods dodge each other’s attacks. "I already spoke of this with Xavier, and he is hellbent on returning home to his wife without any injuries. If there is anyone who can get out of this without injury, it would be Xavier."

Vivienne did not like the mention of Xavier keeping himself safe to avoid worrying Selene. She was now reminded of the fact that Xavier had someone waiting for him, and when this was all over, she would be all alone.

This was to go differently.

Vivienne once thought that any time Darius would die, she might be able to rekindle what she had with Xavier, but times had changed.

It was wrong, but a little part of her hoped that Xavier might also die as well so that no one would have him.

’No,’ Vivienne did not like that thought. She panicked each time Darius got too close to Xavier.
