~Alex's POV~
I was feeling emotionally and physically exhausted, it had been a very trying day, but I couldn't get over the excitement of Knox and Remi mating. It was the happiest news I had received in a very long time. I laid down on floor of my bedroom, and looked up at the blank ceiling. I was feeling lonely, and I had every reason too. My sister was mated and married, and my brother was mated, and figuring things out with his mate. I had been sworn to secrecy, since Remi didn't want his family to know just yet, but he won't be able to keep the secret for very long. They will see the mark. I rolled over, and looked up at the moon through the curtains, and closed my eyes, enjoying the peaceful serenity of the moment. I fell into a peaceful oblivion, and I dreamed of little tiger-wolf babies, and happy couples.
It was after ten in the morning when I groggily peeled my eyelids open. I was feeling weak, and like I wanted to spend the day in bed, but I had to go and do something productive today. I was under some sort of house arrest, where Knox didn't want me to leave the house without some form of protection, so I was stuck reeking havoc here. I looked around my room, and decided that today, I was going to clean my room. I got up, tied my hair back, and put my iPod in the speaker dock on my desk. I cranked up Rock of Ages by Def Leppard and began cleaning.
I had been cleaning for a full hour, in between dancing and singing. I was singing and dancing to Pour Some Sugar(On Me) By Def Leppard when I heard someone clear their throat behind me. I spun around, embarrassed, and blushed when I saw that it was Savitar, standing in a relaxed stance in my bedroom wearing his signature board shorts, and unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt. He looked so comfortable with himself, it made me somewhat jealous, but now I felt clumsy and awkward in my too big pyjama pants and simple tank top, with my hair tied up.
"Savitar, hi." I squeaked. He chuckled, and looked at me, his eyes a beautiful deep purple. They were captivating a filled with an unknown depth. I could stare into them for hours. I shook my head, this was no time to be fantasizing about him.
"Hey Alex. You have a lovely singing voice." He said, and he smiled at me, and I felt my face heat up. I chuckled nervously, and shook my hand, as to wave the compliment away.
"Pfffffffffft. You're just saying that." I said, my voice was raising up to a higher pitch. He laughed once more, and then went to sit down on my bed.
"Not really, but I am here for a reason." He said, and I sat down in my rolling desk chair, and rolled over to him.
"Okay, so what it is?" I ask, and I leaned back in my chair while making the finger pyramid of plotting. Savitar's face became dark, and his eye's changed to a dark colour, to which I couldn't distinguish.
"Why didn't…." He started his voice low, I felt a shudder start in the base of my spine. I stared at him, as I tried to act like I wasn't as scared of him as I actually felt. He took a deep breath, and his features lightened, and his eyes returned to the purple colour.
"You tell me that your sister got married?" He asked, his voice held a light, joking tone, and I released the breath of air that I hadn't realized that I had been holding.
"Oh. Uh, you were invited, but I guess wires got crossed." I fumbled with my words, sounding relatively stupid. He laughed, and it was a beautiful melodic sound. I felt my eyebrows knit together. Why was I suddenly noticing these things about Savitar? I shook my head subconsciously. It was probably the fates messing with me once again, or Noir.
"it's alright, Alex. I just…. Nah, never mind. Be seeing you." He said, and just like that he was gone. I felt my eyebrows knit further together. That was odd, but it wasn't all that bad. I felt a sudden longing to see him again, and then I heard someone shouting. I got out of bed, to see what was going on. As soon as I was in the hall, I was knocked to the floor.
