Avery’s pov
“What the hell do you mean she left?” Xaden snarled, taking a harsh step forward.” What the fuck did you do dad!?”
Xadeon doesn’t flinch or look fazed. ” She walked out with the wolfsbane not too long ago. If you want to catch her I think you should hurry up.”
Xaden glared at him harshly and with a snarl, he burst through the door and rush out. I frowned. Kaylee was a sweet girl, I am confused about why she left. Had Xadeon told her to leave? I highly doubted it. Xadeon could be tough most times on the boys but he has always wanted them happy. He loves them both.
“Did you say anything to her?” Xade hissed low, gripping me hard. I soothed my hand down his back to calm him down and to my surprise, it actually worked in a second.
Xadeon eyes hardened. ” You two boys need to understand that I am not your enemy. The young girl left on her own. I did not stop her because it was not my place to meddle. Xaden needs to know how to fight for love. She’s a rogue and very skittish, she needs to see that he wants her here.”
Xade’s grip relaxed around me but he still glared at his dad. ” You could have told him she left earlier. He will hate you if he doesn’t catch up with her. ”
Xadeon shrugs. ” It’s a risk I was willing to take. Xaden has always gotten everything he wants handed to him. It’s time he fights for something worth it. Now we should leave,” he eyed the bag in Xade’s grasp.
Eloise steps out of his arms. ” Wait, she needs to cover up a little. We can’t have anyone spotting her.”
Xade nods and sets me down on my feet. He opens his duffel bag and pulls out a huge hoodie. He helps me put it on, squeezing the tip of my nose playfully when he is done. “Now you look just like daddy,” he joked.
I swatted his hand away and glared at him. He chuckles happily. “Here,” Eloise says and hands me a pair of dark sunglasses I presume were hers. I took them with a grateful smile and slip them on.
She smiles at me gently. ” Okay, this should cover you up a little. We just need to get you inside the car undetected.”
“Let’s head out,” Xadeon urged, looking at us impatiently.
Xade turns to me, a warm look crossing his eyes as he searches my eyes for any signs of hesitation and fear. “Ready?”
I nod and repeat. ” Ready.”
Xaden’s pov
I burst out the door, my wolf howling in my head in pain and desperation to replace her. Her scent was faint but still here. If I am lucky I will catch her before she leaves the building. I had to. I fucking had to.
And I did, just before she walked out those doors I called out to her. ” Take one step out that door and I will throw you over my knees.”
The few people who caught my words stared at me wide eyed and at Kaylee in shock. I know she heard me when her back stiffen and she froze. Then slowly, so fucking painfully slow, she turns around and our eyes connect.
Her eyes are teary.
Fuck.
“Xaden I-
I stormed toward her frustrated. ” You don’t get to run away from me, you don’t get to run away from this Kaylee. You think you can just walk in my life and then walk out with my heart?” I snarled, not meaning to be harsh but it came out that way.
She flinches her gaze dropping to the floor. “I don’t want to burden you and your family-
“You are family!” I growled, reaching her and grabbing her arm. It causes the wolfsbane to fall to the floor but at the moment I don’t give a damn about it or the few eyes watching us. “You are my family. You belong here with me,”
Her eyes lift to mine and they’re now wide in shock but I can see the other emotions running through them. Emotions that are causing turmoil.
“You leave and I will follow you to every fucking corner of the earth. So you choose,” I stared into her pretty eyes deeply.
“Either you come with me or I leave with you. Either way,” I dipped my head and her breath hitches. I smirk. “You’re stuck with me.”
