Chapter 22 Naive little pet

Exander was about to hit Andras again but he stopped when he heard his name, "Exander." She whispered his name, "That's enough."

"A...Alexa?"

"Yes it's me, Exander it's me." Alexa approached him, and when she was a few inches closer to him, she wiped the blood on his lips with her thumb and took the dagger away from him, dropping it on the floor.

Exander's eyes slowly turned back to normal and his nails and canines. His eyes hardened looking at the injury on her head. How could he hurt her, he was a monster.

Alexa's gaze fell on his hands that was covered in blood. She began to feel weak and light-headed, her legs became weak, unable to hold her. Before Alexa could fall, he caught her in his arms.

"Alexa!"

"What have you done to her?" Andras glared down at his brother. He wanted to touch her when Exander shot him a hard glare.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on her."

"This is all your fault, Exander. She is in this condition because of you."

"That's enough, you two can deal with each other later but first we have to call the doctor." Xavier interrupted.

Alexa woke up feeling a bit disorientated. She couldn't remember how she got in her bed and how she changed into her night dress.

She went to freshen up, once she got ready, she headed to the kitchen.

"Em where's master Exander." She asked the butler.

"He had some urgent work." The man said and she nodded.

Alexa sat at the dining table, which was quiet except for the sound of the fork and knife touching the plate. Some pieces of her memory came back. Oh no Andras. Where was he? And Exander? This was bad.

She picked up her phone and was about to dial Andras number when her phone rang. It was Andras, she wanted to answer but Exander warned her never to speak to him.

After her meal, Alexa decided to take a walk in the garden. She wondered what urgent matter that came up for Exander to turn busy.

Foolish girl. Why are you thinking about him, you should be happy that he's not around to bother you.

Alexa was in her room on the bed. It was evening already and Exander wasn't back yet. What's taking him so long?

Akexa lay down on the bed with her arms spread, "W...where are you..." She murmured as she rubbed her eyes sleepily.

It was morning, Alexa felt strong arms around her and knew it was Exander. "Good morning, master when did you come?"

"Last night.....You slept without me."

"I am sorry, I tried to stay awake."

"I will not let it slide next time."

"I won't repeat it again," she said.

"Are your feeling better now?"

"Yes."

"Did you have a good time yesterday?" He asked.

How was she supposed to have a good time when she's always locked up in the mansion doing nothing. "I did," She said not wanting to irk his mood this morning, she didn't want to be put under his so called punishment.

"Did you miss me?" A smile crept up his lips.

Why would she? She wouldn't even miss him if she didn't see him for a week.

Exander chuckled. This naive little pet of his didn't know he can hear her thoughts.
