"Where did you come from?" Xavier's voice boomed as soon as I entered the room.

I quickly surveyed the room, making sure I had come to the right place, and saw all my belongings except one person. I knew something was about to happen, like a fight or something similar. I sighed, closing the door behind me so my in-laws wouldn't hear them.

"I had some work, so I met with the Demon King!" I said while hanging my bag, scarf, and coat on the hanger, walking towards my wardrobe.

"The visits are increasing day by day, I assume!" Xavier's voice held a hint of irritation that he tried to hide.

"Well, my dear sister came to our pack. This is our only chance to separate them, I guess. Their Luna ceremony is just a week away, and we don't have time for that. It's better to expedite things," I said while searching for my pajamas and towel.

"I don't want this to happen!" Xavier said softly, and I huffed in response.

"Xavier, weren't you the one who said that we have to meet the Demon King and ask for his help to separate them from us?" I said, forcing a smile.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not interested in continuing the deal between us, and I want us to be together. I'm done with everything right now," he snapped with a growl.

"Well, Mr. Xander, this thought should have come to you when we were signing up for the deal, not after everything is over and going in the way we planned," I said, turning away from him and about to enter the bathroom before he pulled my arm back, causing me to land in his arms.

"I was immature back then. I just wanted Amaris to suffer and let you go. But I can't bear for that to happen now. Please, Amelia, try to understand me. I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have made the deal, and even thinking about it is driving me mad," he said with a low voice as he nuzzled his head between my shoulders.

"I don't care. As per our agreement, as soon as they get separated, Samuel will be mine, and Amaris will be yours. Nothing can stop this, not even you. Now move aside!" I yelled, struggling in his arms.

"Why do I sense another man's scent on you?" Xavier asked, sniffing around my neck and tightening his hold on me.

"I was, of course, surrounded by men all day. What do you expect? If I didn't smell like this, do you expect me to smell like flowers?" I asked sarcastically.

"I don't care. Stop whatever you're doing. I want us to be together just like any other mates. I will try to win your heart. Please, believe me," he pleaded, and my eyes softened.

"Everything is over. Tomorrow morning, we are going to execute the plan, and once her spirits are exposed, supernatural's will fight for her. Samuel can't do anything about it. Sure, he may be the alpha king and all, but he can't defeat the entire supernatural community. Except for Spade and Samuel, no other members of the Kings are here, which is another disadvantage for them," I said, shrugging casually.

"Don't expect him to go easy, Amelia. He has a beast within him!" Xavier warned.

"He is chained in his mind with the best witches, and no power can awaken him."
