Chapter 112
Xaden’s povCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
There was no sugar coating things and I wished I had prepared more to give her such information that I knew would weigh down on her shoulders. But unfortunately it had to be done this way.
The silence that followed after my words suffocated me and I held my breath, waiting for her to say something, anything. And when she does, I don’t even know how to respond without making her fear more.
“What do you mean his life is in my hands Xaden?” Her voice is frail with fear. The tears build in her eyes more and she looked on the verge of bawling out.
“What are you not telling me? What have you two been hiding from me…”
” she looked around, eyeing Henry and Kaylee. “I know something is going on,” she returns her gaze back to mine. “I know because my memories have come back. Don’t lie to me Xaden.”
She steps forward. “Tell me everything.” Her demand was firm, and I am surprised by the power that radiates off of her. She is definitely pregnant with Xade’s pup. I can smell the scent of alpha coming from her pores.
Which means that Xade will have no choice but to mark her now, because if he doesn’t she’d die.
Pity. I felt pity for the two people that were family. Their fates were intertwined, destined for the other but a dark cloud of death loomed over them. It shouldn’t have been so.
They should be happy together, with no fear of the other having to die.
“How much do you know?” I asked faintly, searching her eyes. She said she remembered everything, yet it shouldn’t have been possible.
Her brows furrowed. “What?”
“How much do you remember? Everything or little-
“What this pup is trying to say is that Rose’s magic should’ve worked and lasted on you. You shouldn’t have remembered anything at all.” Henry cuts in, causing Avery to look at him confused.
“Pup? Magic?” Her eyes skit to me.
Henry sighed loudly. “The kid is dying so it’s best you don’t beat around the bush Xaden. It won’t benefit anyone,” he looked at Avery and I snarled.
“Henry.”
He ignored. “We are werewolves. Me, him,” he points at me. “Her,” he continues as he points at Kaylee who’s standing there shyly, her eyes casted down to the floor.
“And your boyfriend Xade. But he isn’t just a werewolf though, he’s an alpha. Both him and his brother however, since this one doesn’t like the burden of running a pack,”
I glared at him harshly and his smirk grew, snorting out a laugh. “The title is passed down to your boyfriend.”
A pin could drop and we’d hear it because of how silent it had become after Henry dropped the ball. I was furious at him for being the one to tell her, but somehow relieved because I didn’t think I’d be able to piece them together properly for her to understand.
It should have been Xade to tell her everything and I am more mad at him for it.
As I stared at Avery, waiting for a reaction, I realized that Xade should have had hope that she’d be able to survive the bite. She had always been strong, always fierce when need to be. She wasn’t little anymore.
And we both failed her.
My heart feels like it was tearing apart as the realization hit me like a bolder.
This shouldn’t have been the way she found out about our species.
Time ticks on and the silver in the room is so uncomfortable Kaylee is trying her best to back away us noticing but of course I notice trying her best to back a everything about that girl and feel my lip tug a bit.
“Should I continue?” Henry suggested.
“I think you’ve said enough,” I ground out, not wanting to him to scare her more even though everything I am about to say to her will set her into fear.
“Werewolves?” She tested the word on her tongue, her eyes far off. “As in the fairytale werewolves?” Disbelief is clear in her tone and she lets out a soft dry snort chuckle. “Are you joking?” Her eyes flick up to Henry.
His eyes narrowed. “I don’t joke kid.”
She shook her head. “What you’re saying is impossible- Ahh!” She screamed as Henry shifted before her eyes.
