42 Unbothered

Quickly moving behind, Darius immediately caught Xen's falling body in his arms. Xen's face was troubled, worry staining those usually beautiful features. 

"Why are you so stubborn?" Darius murmured while he lovingly gazed at the person in his arms. 

He was too exhausted last night that he dozed off quickly the moment he had his back on the comfortable bed. He almost went crazy when he woke up and found out that Xen was already gone. 

Worried as hell for Xen's safety in traveling alone, he instantly shifted to his Wolf-Man form to look for Xen. Thank the heavens that he arrived just in time.

Darius turned to Gideon, "I need a room. I will see to Xen first before anything else."

"But Your Majesty," Gideon quickly spoke up. "King Nikolai and the Council are waiting for yo-"

"Not until I set Xen down on a comfortable bed!" Darius growled.
