Xavier returned to the estate and immediately knew something was off. The scent of blood lingered in the air. The blood belonged to vampires because of the distinct smell.
The guards being in place let him know that the threat was gone but he was still worried about Selene. He took his eyes off Selene for a few hours and then this happened.
Xavier exited the carriage before it came to a stop by the steps. He needed to see that Selene was well before he found out about what happened.
Harold waited by the door to greet Xavier. "Lord Blackthorn-"
"Where is my wife?" Xavier inquired, walking by Harold.
"The lady is inside the kitchen baking," Harold shared.
Xavier stopped walking. Since when did Selene bake? He turned around to ask, "Baking?"
