~The Author~
Xavier went home after finishing at the stables. He needed to see his boys before continuing the hunt for Sabrina. It had been days since he last saw his children, and he missed them terribly. They were close to him. They always had been.
It was evening when he reached his house. His wife, Xena, was surprised to see him standing by the door. She had heard the unpleasant rumors going around...how the king's guards were searching for her husband all over the city. But she wasn't angry. She understood the kind of life he lived. She had accepted it the day she agreed to be his wife.
Xena had fallen in love with Xavier the moment she laid eyes on him. He was older, yes...more than thirty years older but that never mattered to her. People mocked her for it. They whispered and gossiped about her behind her back, but she never cared. What they shared was beyond the reach of anyone's opinion.
