By the following day, everyone was ready to march out and enact their first act of revenge against the Anders. They had a small meeting, brushing over things once more before it ended and everyone bade their little goodbyes.
“Hey, guys, why are you all making this as though you won’t be seeing each other again?” Marlon asked.
In as much as he did not have a spouse or his mate close by, watching them behave that way was indeed funny to him. In the end all he got was glares beings hot his way. “Sorry.”
For Asia and Aramis, waking up to see this day was one they cherished. No longer were their hearts separated. They were unified and just as grand as they wished it to be.
“Okay guys, it is time to fly,” Xander announced as soon as he finished directing Astoria on what to do.
“Just one more minute, please,” Aramis begged.
“Huh, you had the whole night with missy over there, what minute are you wishing for?” Jay attacked.
.....
“Says who you did not have your night with Macy as well.,” Aramis spat back.
“Yes, but do you see me begging for one minute,” Jay retorted.
“Why you,” Aramis tsked at him. He was behaving this way now. He had forgotten he was such a loose end when himself and Macy first mated.
“They just mated, let him be,” Xander scolded. He turned to face the others and with a stern look announced, “You can have two minutes everyone.”
Jay felt like shooting daggers at Xander for being such a kill joy but before he could complain or do anything, he felt someone latch unto his arm and turned to look.
“Oh, Macy.”
“Who else where you expecting?” She asked looking all charming in her all brown leather outfit.
“No one I was just shocked.”
“Rather than cause trouble with the newlyweds, why not enjoy your two minutes with me huh?” She wrapped her arms around his neck and giggled softly.
“Yes, sure. Do not mind me.”
Xander shook his head as he watched them all pair up. Minerva and Marlon who did not have anyone to pair up with that way, watched the others in glee.
“Oh that’s right.” He turned half way, and scanned for Jade. There was no way he was going to miss not talking to her.
Quickly he walked up to her and placed his hand in his pocket. “Hey love.”
“Hi.” She averted her gaze from him. After what she did that night, she could not satare him in the eyes.
“Until when would you shy away from me, Jade?”
“I did no such thing.” She moved her legs and let her eyes land on Asia. “Hmm, aren’t they cute,” she complimented absent mindedly.
“They can be cute,” Xander replied and closed the gap between them. “Butr you know what I find cute? It’s you.” He placed his finger underneath her chin and used it to tilt her head back to face him.
“Don’t be shy. I love how open you were with trying new things with me,” he confessed.
“Xander, it is inappropriate to speak about such here.”
“Hahaa, why?” he laughed. “Can’t you see the rest? Besides who cares. I did not voice out exactly what it was.” His brows relaxed. “Oh my innocent Jade.”
He pressed his forehead against hers and wrapped his left hand on her waist while his right glided up and down her arm.
“Take care of yourself today. I hate the fact that I am not there with you and you are left to fight his men alone,” he voiced out his concern.
“I will be fine. Now you focus on teaching his people a lesson they would never forget, okay?”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. I did not live to this extent as the Iceberg’s daughter for nothing. Besides,” she flashed her eyes at him.
“You sent Astoria to go with us because you were scared. That is enough. I allowed that because I love her presence but if you keep worrying this much, then it means you do not trust I can hold my own.”
“No, no, no. Please do not get me wrong. I understand you. I know you are strong. Trust me.”
“Better.” She let out a sharp sigh and placed her hands on his chest. “Come back to me.”
“I will.”
“Hey guy! It been three to four minutes now. Break up the party and let’s move before we get behind n schedule.” Marlon announced.
Immediately all of them pulled apart except Jade and Xander.
“Dragon Lord.”
“Hmm,” Jade giggled and raised her brows at him playfully.
“Ypou should listen to them. You gave two minutes.”
‘That rule applied to hem and not me. I was not with you before. I was tending to matters.”
“Your PDA knows no limit, does it,” she smiled laughed slightly.
“Sure.”
“Xander!” Marlon and Jay yelled.
Just to taunt them further, he looked at them and stuck his tongue out. Jade could not believe he could play this much even on a serious day.
“You should go.” That was all she got to say before she felt him lift her head up by her chin again and pressed his lips against hers.
Several gasp erupted all around them, but Xander was not willing to stop or give in to any of them. Slowly he broke the kiss and smiled at her again.
“I’ll be back.” He stepped away from her while the girls cheered on for him, leaving Jade a blushing mess.
Walking to their front, he flexed his muscles and immediately light shone around him and his appearance changed.
“Oh my!” he heard Jade gasp. No matter how many times she saw this, it thrilled her whenever he changed.
The other guys followed suit, transforming into their natural form. “Shall we?”
“Wait.” All heads turned in the direction of the voice and waited. Taking a bold step, she changed into her natural form too and walked up to them. “I want to go with you, Xander,” Minerva pursued.
