Beta Xavier Costa.
Chapter 15

Eleanor Amato - POV

“Where are you going?” Xavier asked me as I got down from the car and walked towards the training grounds. My mouth opened to reply, but then I thought better of it and turned around and continued walking.

I don't think I need to explain my whereabouts every single time.

When I reached the training grounds, I realized that there were not many people there, so I looked around and saw a small pathway that had a signboard saying that it goes to the river.

Well, I guess I better go and check this river out to get a better idea.

I took the paved pathway and started walking in the dark, within a few minutes, the trees started clearing out, and I could hear the sound of the gushing water. I stepped out of the trees when I saw the river in front of me. There was already a wooden arch right next to the river, which means that this location was quite famous for having mating ceremonies.

I walked towards the river and took a seat on the grass. After removing my heels, I dipped my feet in the cold water and closed my eyes. I felt the tensed muscles slowly relax, and I let out a content sigh.

Crunch!

My eyes flew open when I heard something behind me, and I turned around to scan the trees when I saw a brown and white wolf standing near the treeline, glancing at me. With its sheer size and height, I knew that it was a male, but no alarm bells rang within me.

“He is a pack member,” Erica told me, and I nodded my head and turned back around to glance at the river.

He must be on his patrol.

“What is a pretty woman like you doing all alone in here?” a masculine voice asked me, and I looked up to see a man around my age standing in front of me. He was wearing a pair of basketball shorts which only indicated that he was the wolf that was staring at me a few minutes ago.

“Nothing. I just came to have some time alone.” I told him as I felt him sit next to me.

“Well, looks like Beta Xavier is keeping you up all night then?” I turned around to see a shy smile on his face.

“Something like that,” I mumbled.

I definitely don't want to share my almost non-existent sex life with a pack member. I mean, how embarrassing would that be?

“Who are you?” I asked him. It is only right if I know who he is because he seems to know who I am.

“I am a warrior,” he answered, and this made me arch an eyebrow, waiting for him to provide a name. “My name is Ivan.” he introduced himself while he extended his hand for a handshake.

“Eleanor Amato,” I said and shook his hand. “So, you have been on patrol alone?” I asked him, but he shook his head.

“My shift was over, so I was heading back home, that was when I saw you,” he told me.

“So I looked like a threat to you?” I asked him with a mischievous smile on my face, and he shook his head.

“Quite the opposite. You looked extremely lonely, so I decided to approach you,” he said. We stayed there till it was three am in the morning when I finally decided to head back to Xavier’s house.

“We should meet again sometime,” I told him as I dusted off the grass from my dress.

“It would be nice, but I am running on a tight schedule right now,” Ivan said, and this dampened my mood. I mean, he was the second person in this pack who genuinely wanted to spend time with me.

“What time will you be free?” I asked him.

“At nine pm, that is when my shift ends.”

“Great, then I will meet you here at that time,” I told him, and even though he looked hesitant, he didn't decline. After saying goodnight, I started walking back to Xavier’s house. When I arrived, the house was eerily quiet, so I silently walked in to see that most of the lights were switched off.

I quickly walked upstairs to my room and locked the door behind me. After taking a shower, I put on my pajamas and went to bed.

The sound of my alarm woke me up, and even though I didn't want to get out of bed, I knew I promised to do my duties properly, so I quickly walked to the bathroom, took a shower, and changed into a pair of blue jeans, and I paired it with a black singlet and my favorite purple woolen shirt.

After trying my hair in a ponytail, I walked downstairs to the kitchen. I briefly looked up at the time to see that it was six am. I quickly started preparing breakfast for the two of us. By the time I made the last waffle, I heard the front door open, and a few minutes later, Xavier walked into the kitchen. “What are you doing?” I looked up from my plate to see that he was in his workout clothes. A pair of shorts and a grey T-shirt.

“I made breakfast for us.”

“You think you can seduce your way to my bed by preparing breakfast?” he sneered, and this broke my heart, but I made sure to hold my emotions back.

“I always love to start my day with breakfast that I make. And I was being a generous person by making some of you. If you don't want to eat, I don't mind, you can put it in the fridge and leave. I don't care.” I asserted as I took my plate of waffles and berries, made my way to the table, and started eating.

I felt him stand there for a couple of more minutes before he left the kitchen. I shook my head and continued eating. Once I was done, I washed the dishes and then took my bag and left the house. When I arrived at my office, I saw a note placed on my desk.

Please meet me at my office when you get here.

Samuel.
