Xade’s pov
My hands clench harder, the thought of Alister coming here not setting right in my stomach. However, I know Dad was right. If this Milian man was this feared by dad then perhaps we couldn’t handle this on our own.
Frustrated, I gritted my teeth and snarl. “Fine, do what you will. I leave it to you to break this down to Xaden since you’re risking his mate,”
Dad looks frustrated. ” Do you want the girl to hide her entire life?! Alister may be a brute but he does what is best for our people no matter the cost. Perhaps if he sees the girl marked by Xaden he’d not touch her. She’d not be a rogue anymore and she’d be a part of a pack.”
“Your father is right pup,” Henry said as he steps into the dungeon, Xaden right beside him as they approach. I turn to him, glaring. ” What about you? You went behind his back to save her, he’ll kill you for it.”
Henry shrugged, opening the cage door and stepping in. “I will face the consequences. I do not regret saving her and will do what must if it comes to that. But you, your mate and the entire werewolf world need Alister. He’s the only person who can help and put things back into order.”
I drag my eyes to Xaden who was mute. I narrowed my eyes. “Nothing to say? Your mate will be in danger.”
Xaden’s jaw ticked. “This is the only way. I will mark Kaylee and she will be with me in our pack. I will talk to Alister-
I snorted, cutting him off. ” You think Alister will listen to anything you have to say? You must have gone stupid brother,”
Xaden looks angry at my insult. “Do you think I don’t fear he’d kill her? He’s the head of the council Xade, one day he’d figure shit out, he’d replace out. It’s better we tell him than he replaces out on his own. If he tries to hurt her, I won’t let it happen.”
I looked at him with blunt dry amusement. ” Going to wage war on the entire council if he tries to harm her?” I questioned sarcastically.
Xaden shrugs. “If I have to, yes. Like you always tell V, you will burn the world for her,” he steps forward, his eyes hard and determined. ” And I’d burn the world down for mine.”
I bit my tongue, looked away and ground my teeth. ” Fine, do what you all want,” I step to move out of the cell but Xaden reaches out to grasp my arm.
“We are doing this for little V and your unborn child too. There are things we can’t control, even as alphas.”
I shrugged his hand off and steeled my glare on his face. ” If you will excuse me I will go to my mate, you three figure out how the hell you are going to report this to Alister.”
As I left the dungeon, none of the three stopped me and let me go. The weight of all of this came crashing down on me and bundled up into frustration and anger. I needed to see my mate. She was the only one who would be able to calm down my raging beast.
I snarl under my breath.
It seems as though every turn Avery and I make, we go through the toughest battles. I frowned. If they were going to truly involve Alister and Rose, it would be best to do what I needed to have done a long time ago.
Time was ticking between us it seems, and it was ticking fast.
