Horrible Skin Rashes

Darius held his breath as soon as he saw his mate entering the dining hall. If he was being honest, he still felt like he wasn't himself even if it's been a while since he walked out of Xen's chamber. 

Truly, just the mere sight of her messy hair and loose dress hanging onto her like that when he entered her chamber was more than enough for him to go crazy. He was supposed to wait for her and walk with her to the dining hall, but he wasn't confident enough that he'd be able to control himself if he stayed any longer inside her chambers.

So instead, he decided that it would be better that he left as soon as she asked for some privacy. 

Seeing her approach, he smiled as he quickly pulled up a chair for her beside him, not minding the curious look his mother was giving him for his actions.

"Good morning, Queen Mother," Xen politely greeted with a bow. 

At his mate's polite greeting, the Queen Mother smiled and signaled for her to walk to her seat.
