Chapter 7: He became mute...
Selene POV
"Are you alright?" Xavier rushed to me, stooping to pick up my phone, which had scattered into a thousand pieces from the impact of the fall.
"Did you see something?" he asked again, sneaking a look behind his back.
In his casual pants and T-shirt that had a small tear at the shoulders, he looked unrecognizable. But what baffled me the most was how he didn't seem to know who I was. So far, the only thing I had changed was the colour of my hair and maybe I seemed sharper than before.
But else that he was my mate for moon's sake. He was supposed to pick up my scent as soon as he saw me. But he continued talking, barely sparing me a glance.
"I hope you're not alone," he sighed. "You shouldn't be out walking in the park alone. There's a rogue on the prowl and we're trying to catch it,".
"T-Thank you," I finally said, barely recognizing my voice.
I couldn't tell if I was relieved that he didn't recognize me or disappointed. I had thought about meeting him a thousand times in my head and it had all ended in a heated argument or him losing his temper or trying to harm me. Not Xavier acting like he was a kind man.
"I'll walk you home," he offered, reaching for my hands.
His icy hand on mine sparked electricity as desire shot into every part of my body. Bea moaned in relish and I felt myself trying to cuddle up to him. I shook my head, trying to clear my head as I removed my hand from his.
"That won't be necessary sir," I took several steps backwards, putting enough space between us "I can find my way,".
