Chapter 77 Daisy Instead of laughing at his humor, I grab his face and stare into his shocked, blinking eyes. "Daisy?" he asks, beyond confused when tears form in my eyes.
"So you remember everything?" I ask. "What about the other Xavier? Do you have your past life's memories too?" "Yes, and yes," his smile is devilish. "I remember Serena and the magical realm, but I also remember you and the hell you've putthrough." "H-hell?" I sob, which causes Xavier's face to soften.
"Oh shit, you've been through a lot. I won't tease you," he hugs my face to his chest with his wings and arms still wrapped aroundto form a cocoon.
I sniff experimentally. "I was afraid merging would make you forget everything for a third time..." "Never," his growl is gentle, rumbling through his chest and causing vibrations to resonate through me. "It was exhausting not to remember you...well, a part ofdid, but my vampire self wasn't listening...I was an idiot... gosh... it's so confusing when we are the sperson now." A soft laugh leaves my lips. "You're not going to have an identity crisis, are you?" Shut up and letlove you..." He cutsoff with a sudden, gentle kiss that wipes away my worries. I can feel his hand tracing the length of my back as if memorizing every crevice and dip of my skin. His lips move down from mine to my neck, nuzzling the crook of it, causing a jolt of desire to rush through me.
"Yes," I murmur against his skin as his sharp fangs graze my neck, triggering another wave of pleasure that makesarch against him. His quiet chuckle sends shivers down my spine.
"I thought you might like that," he says, his voice deep and rumbly as he continues to explore my neck with his mouth. But then he pauses to ask, “Can I mark you?" "Yes," I don't have to think twice about it. "But only if I can mark you, too." His laughter rumbles against my skin. "That's a deal," he agrees, his breath hitting my neck and causing goosebumps to dance over my skin.
It makesrelax. I'm not even bothered by his demonic appearance and lean back to grant him access to my neck.
With a low growl, Xavier gently bites into my skin. The sharp sting is quickly followed by warmth flooding my veins. I gasp out in pleasure as the mark forms, gripping him for support. His body atop mine feels heavy and comforting, his rhythmic breathing groundingto the here and now.
After what feels like an eternity, he pulls back, wiping drops of blood from his lower lip with the back of his hand. He looks atwith an expression of intense satisfaction and traces the mark he made on my neck.
"My Turn?" I ask, looking up at him.
He grins before rolling onto his back, his wings retracting into his back while his face remains the same. There are still veins underneath his eyes, but I'm not afraid.

He exhales a deep breath, his eyes softening even more as he cuddles with me. "I know we need to figure out a way to get rid of my father, but for now, I just want to enjoy holding you," he murmurs. "Tomorrow, we can find this water werewolf. Together." Together.
My heart swells hearing that word. Finally, I'm no longer alone. It's such a relief because even if Yato, Caleb, and Lola are capable thinkers, Xavier is just...different. He feels smarter and more responsible. With his help. I'm sure we can find a solution to our Lucian problem.
