Zoe's POV

I knew going to Claire's was going to blow up in my face. But I had no idea how bad things would go and how quickly out of hand too.

Now, Maisie was gone. Xavier had taken Claire to hospital and despite everything, I was praying, hoping, that she was okay. Jacob had gone with them. I was alone in Claire's home, surrounded by all the pool party/engagement party guests of Blood Cresent. Everyone who thought I was a slut and a gold digger.

"I know you did this." The dark-skinned girl from earlier raised her accusing finger at me as she walked inside and saw me still there.

I knew replying would make it worse and there was no way I could protect myself from so many wolves who loved Claire. So, I stayed silent.

"I saw Claire drinking from the glass that you planted on the table for her." She was glaring at me as more people joined her.

"Say something, Slut." One of them shouted, "No apology or regret?"

"So, apart from being a whore by trade, and a gold-digger, you are also a murde

    Zoe's POVI felt numb throughout my ride home.It felt like I had lost something very precious. Like I had lost a part of myself. The scene of Xavier's arms carrying Claire as she smirked at me was haunting me. But I did not feel like crying.What was the point of crying? It wouldn't bring back what Xavier and I had shared. I wondered if any of it was real. Or did he really just use me?The cab dropped me near my house as evening enveloped the pack, but I didn't want to go inside yet. Aunt Julie had been so worried about me lately. I couldn't let her see me like that. I had to get a grip on myself. I had to run.I needed to run.I rushed into the darkening woods.I took off my shoes and allowed nature to lead me. I focused on the sounds and smells around me and hoped that, like always, I would be able to run from my thoughts. I never realized when the casual fun runs through the woods as a kid turned into me running from my present.I stopped when I absolutely needed air. I bent on my

    Xavier's POVMy phone rang as I entered Silver Moon borders. I chose to ignore it the first few times. I did not need any distractions. Zoe was the only one that mattered and I could not afford to be late. I did not want to imagine that scenario.But when the caller was persistent, I had to attend it and put it on speaker,"This better be good!" I growled."I'm afraid, Alpha, it's not. It is, in fact, quite bad." It was Luca and he sounded worried."Make it quick, Luke." I ordered."Alpha. The detailed report will be ready by-" He started but I interrupted impatiently, "Get to the damn point.""Yes, Alpha. A couple of hours ago, John slipped his tail. His last known location is the woodlands near the ex-beta Simmons' house at the edge of the Silver Moon territory." He told and I suddenly things clicked."Shit!" I banged the steering wheel but refocused. A road accident was not going to help anyone."What are my orders?" He asked."Get that damned report ready. Find that bastard's last

It would've been better if you came willingly. It could've been so much fun."

    Xavier’s POVIt took Maisie an hour to get back and I was about to get upset at her that every minute counts. But, when she brought a bag from her car I was confused."Glad you could find time to go shopping when Zoe's life might be on the line." I commented sarcastically.She rolled her eyes, "I needed ingredients for the location spell."It took fifteen minutes for her to assemble all the ingredients which included many weird things. But witches had always been weird. "For a hybrid who keeps a part of herself secret, you sure know your stuff." I commented."I was a teen and curious. When if first got the grimoire. It was by accident. I found it in Dad's things that he had taken after my mom passed away. I never practiced magic as such. Everything I know is theoretical." She explained."Hold on. You are saying we have put all our hopes for finding Zoe on theoretical? Have you ever cast a spell? Are you even able to do magic?" I asked incredulously."I don't know?" She replied making

    Maisie was directed by Xavier to take Zoe in her car and follow him. Xavier took John and made sure there was no chance of escape on the way. Not that John was in any shape to escape at all.Xavier had been making calls all the way to the Werewolf Council Head Quarters. The time to wait was gone and finally, the time to act had arrived. It had arrived sooner than anticipated but Xavier hoped that his men pulled through with all the pieces of evidence and John's allies to make sure he was covered from all sides for good.Maisie had called her father to inform him as well as Aunt Julie to ask her to come for Zoe's support, bring her clothes and other necessities. Zoe hadn't spoken a single word since she had been rescued. Maisie had wrapped her in a spare blanket that she used ot carry in her car. Zoe had stopped shaking but with her head on the window, she silently stared at the passing scenery. Maisie was getting worried for her friend but she had no idea how to help someon

    It was early morning when Xavier's office door was knocked and Luca entered with a briefcase and a file in his hands.Lucan nodded to Jacob who nodded back briefly and resumed his work. Xavier looked at Luca expectantly and Luca immediately started talking, "Alpha, the witnesses are in separate guarded rooms. They will talk. Here is the report." He placed the file on Xavier's table and resumed debriefing as he opened the briefcase and took out various objects one by one, "This flash drive has the video proofs. This folder has the paper trails. These are the papers with ownership and contracts with John's signatures. These are the files on the witnesses." Xavier looked briefly at the objects and asked, "What about Councilor Peterson?""His son is on the way-" Luca was interrupted by Xavier controlling his rage, "I don't need his son. Get me his father!""Yes, Alpha. Alpha Peterson Junior was found calling an unknown number through an encrypted line. One of our guys is alrea

    Xavier's POV"Thank you, Maisie," I whispered as she walked me out of the room."No need to thank me. I'll do whatever it takes to help Zoe. And it's about damn time John was held accountable for everything," Maisie said, her voice firm with conviction."Are you ready to reveal your hybrid nature?" I asked one last time, needing to be sure."I am. Come what may. Mr. Simmons has loved me like a father. Zoe is my sister. And truth be told, with your ex returning, Zoe has been through a lot. You're on her side now, and that's all that matters," she said, smiling at me."About that-" I started but Jacob mindlinked me and I excused myself. Someone who shouldn't have been there had come and I needed to handle the situation myself.I went to the waiting room adjacent to my office and raised an annoyed brow, "Father. What are you doing here?""I have heard about what a legend my son is with the Council cases. About time I witnessed it for myself." He had an expression full of pride. But I kne

    Xavier's POVAfter my conversation with Claire, I had her escorted to a room adjacent to Alyssa. By the time I entered my office, Luca was waiting for me and instantly sprung up from his seat."Alpha, news about the Councilor Peterson." "I know." I took off my coat as he asked confused, "You do?""Councilor Peterson is defending John." I told as I took my seat behind my desk."Wait, what?" He asked and I realized he had no idea about this news."What is your news?" I asked."Councilor Peterson is in the building. No idea from where he spawned overnight. No one at the borders or the building saw him come." He informed."You finally decided to come out of hiding. What are you planning?" I mused to myself before getting back to the paperwork."Alpha, shall I find out what he is planning?" Luca asked."No. He will sniff you coming for miles. And we don't have the time either. Let's focus on making sure that our witnesses stay alive. There is no limit to how low John and his allies can sto
