Third person's POV
Xavier moved with determination toward Drake and Moira, his mind focused on one thing only—protecting her from Drake.
The strange voice in his head kept repeating that Drake would hurt her, and Xavier felt compelled to act.
However, before he could reach them, Ashley appeared in front of him, with a deep frown on her face.
"Where do you think you are going?" She demanded, grabbing his arm.
"You're supposed to be watching Mrs. Grayson, remember? That's your job at this event."
Xavier tried to look past her, his eyes still fixed on where Drake and Moira had been standing. The urgent need to reach them still pulsed through him.
"I need to do something. Something important to me." He informed her but he sounded and looked distant.
"Important? More important than your job? Mind telling me what that is?" Ashley asked with raised eyebrows.
