XAVIAMy life in the Ice Pack had turned sour in a twinkle of an eye and I became the worst enemy of the Alpha. I could not say if he treated me so badly because he found out that I love him or if he had another reason for treating me that way.After he threw me across the cell when he visited me, I had thought that would be all, and though he told me he was going to punish me after I left the cell, I expected it to be the usual strokes of canes. But I had not thought that he would show up at night in the cell again to punish me.I could not tell anyone what he did to me and how much pain he inflicted on me. Not even Arden, who has shown me so much love and is willing to help me, did I tell. When he visited a day ago, and saw the wound on my neck, he knew immediately that Gilbert was the one responsible for it. Although I denied it and told him I had fallen he would not believe it. There were no sharp objects in the cell, so there was no way I could have fallen and have pierced wounds
"I-i do not believe you. I know you are lying" I said."I am not, Xavia. I know how difficult it will be for you to believe this. I could not believe it either. Because I did not expect him to treat his mate so badly"I sighed. I can't believe what she said. It's difficult for me to believe that Gilbert is my mate and he treated me so badly."I-i...""I know how hard it will be to accept this. You can ask Arden about it. I am sure he will be willing to tell you everything""Does he know that you are going to tell me all this?"She nodded. "I spoke to him first before coming to you. He wanted to come with me but I could see how sorry he was and how guilty he felt. So, I thought he should talk to you alone when he feels less guilty which I do not think would be anytime soon"I smiled. "He doesn't have to feel that way""Please, can you forgive Arden for..."I smiled. "I hold no grudges against him. He only followed the instructions given to him""Thank you"I sighed. "Lady Kate...""Jus
"You are welcome" he answered and I smiled.We were silent for a while, with everyone lost in their thoughts.Should I speak up? I wondered. Or should I let the silence linger for a little while?I decided it was best to speak up as I was also getting tired of the awkward silence. "Do you think I should ask him about it? I mean the Alpha" I wanted to ask but I decided against it.There was no point asking Arden if I should ask the Alpha. This is my fight and I need to fight it alone! However, I know that Arden will be against it and might advise me like Kate to leave."What is your plan now?" he asked.I furrowed my brows. "For what?""Now that you know about Gilbert being your mate, what do you plan to do? Are you going to leave or do you plan to stay"I shrugged. "I haven't thought about what to do yet. First I want to clear my name then I can think of the next thing to do"He sighed. "I already spoke to Gilbert's mom. She knows everything now and she promised to renounce the slave
They kept telling me how sorry they were for treating me badly but I held no grudges against them. Being free was enough for me. That I get to leave the Ice Pack whenever I want was enough.But would I be able to leave? I wondered. I have fallen deeply in love with the Alpha and I do not think I can leave him even though he has never treated me so badly. The Lycan King never treated you this badly, before you left. I heard a voice say and I sighed. He was kind to me and besides me seeing him in his monstrous self, I do not have any other thing against him.I knew I needed to think about the next step to take which was to either forgive the Alpha and keep staying with him or leave without coming back.I should try to speak to him. I thought. I should try to hear what he has to say, then I can decide what to do next.I knew he would not see me if I went to his room and I would need to find a way of meeting him outside his room. I wasn't really strong and going to find him, myself was
AXELAfter a few years spent in seclusion, Jason suggested that I return home. I had been away for three years which was after Xavia and Alaila left. After they saw me in my transformed form and considered me a monster, I became worried that my Pack members would feel the same when they saw me too.I was quite different from the rest of the Lycans. Aside from transforming at a late age, it was also very slow, which I felt was because I was a hybrid but soon found out I was born special. I decided it was best to leave the Pack and complete my transformation in seclusion. That way I would not have to worry about my Pack members. Jason was against it at first but I made him reason with me and he agreed to it. For a year and a half, I was in seclusion. During this period, I completed my transformation. Jason suggested that I begin to associate with others so that when I return to Pack it would be easy. It took me a year to do that. In my three years away from the Pack, not only did I tra
I met with Jason and my jaw dropped. It was Xavia looking so pale and unconscious."Did you check her pulse? Is she still breathing?" I asked and he nodded."She's breathing, though her pulse is weak. She needs to see the doctor""How close are we to the...""We won't make it back to your place before dawn. We might need to go to another Pack for a doctor to attend to her"I sighed. "What about the Lycan Pack""It's closer than any other Pack but you might not want to go...""We are going there. Call the doctors to be on deck" I said, taking her from him.I took her to the car and placed her carefully into it. I sat beside her, her head on my lap. I stared at her pale face and I felt sad. Three years ago was when I last saw her. She was vibrant and full of life. I had not thought our next meeting would be like this. I held her hand and noticed they were cold. She soon began to freeze. Her body was already getting covered up with ice."Drive fast" I ordered."She will be fine," Jason
XAVIAI was in a dark room where I could hardly see what was beside me. I wondered where I was and how I got there. I began to hear voices that at first I could not recognize. I soon recognized one of the voices to belong to Jason but the other was not familiar."She has gone through a lot" I heard as I felt a hand touch me.I moved my hand slightly and my eyes flung open. As I tried to adjust my eyes to the ray of light shining so brightly. A hand touched my face."She's awake" I heard. "Get the doctor, Jason"I blinked rapidly and when I finally stopped blinking my eyes, they settled on the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Those beautiful eyes stared at me too and my heart began to beat so fast.I blinked slowly. My heart has not beaten this fast for anyone besides the Ice Pack Alpha which I knew was not the one staring at me. I moved my gaze downward until it settled on the lips."Axel, the doctor is here" I heard Jason's voice and my heart skipped a beat.The only one who bea
"You are joking right?" I asked and he smiled."I am not. Alaila is on her way here. She should be here by evening"I shrieked in happiness. It's a good thing that I will be seeing Alaila again after three years of being away from each other."I am so happy right now""I know you are""But why did you not tell me about it? I would have prepared something to welcome her""I am sorry about that. You know I would have told you about it but Axel insisted that I keep it as a secret. He wanted it to be a surprise"I hugged Jason. "Thank you so much""You should thank Axel not me""Can you thank him for me?""I can't. You should do that yourself""Please. I cannot face...""Are you sure you can't? Because I see how you stare at him through the kitchen window every time he goes for a meeting and whenever he is coming back"I furrowed my brows. "You do?"He nodded "Of course. Tell me, do you have any interest in him""No-no. I do not""Are you sure you do not? Because I see how you wave at him
