Xavier’s POV

It 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

  • Fated to My Ex's Brother-In-Law   Chapter 109

    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

    Xavier's POVThere was blood everywhere.Pieces of werewolf flesh and fur lay scattered around me. How had things turned out so wrong?There was a stench of rotting meat in the air as I walked bare feet towards a light. My feet were so slick with blood that I nearly slipped a couple of times on top of some dead werewolf.I remembered getting everything ready for the Simmons' case at the Werewolf council but then, what happened?I showed up.Everyone showed up.John was smirking. Peterson was by his side.Despite me telling him to stay away, my father had shown up and walked straight to stand beside John.He had said something like John being a better son than I ever could be. But John was a nobody. My father hated me but why would he say that?I don't remember who started it.I remember that I finished it.I saw Zoe on the floor.I bent down. My hands were trembling as I removed a lock of hair stuck to her bloody face. No.This was not how things were supposed to turn out.I felt a ha

    I had only glanced at her once and I could see how upset she was at me for being my sister and yet finding all the gory details about her fiance at the council and not being prepared before. I knew I should have but due to the time limit, it was impossible to cross all T's and dot at the i's.By the end of Day One, the Council had asked to meet with me and Peterson alone. A proper Council meeting.There was no rest for us.As the hall emptied. I gathered my stuff and we all went back to the Council office where private Council meetings were held. The most fortified place in the entire building, other than our offices."Councilor Shaw." I was addressed first. I nodded in acknowledgment."I am a little confused. Who is your client exactly? Mr. Simmons or his daughter?" I was asked.I knew this question would be raised. I was glad that even though I had not seen this outcome of events, I had kept my mate bond with Zoe only to myself. It could've been a strong argument against my validity

    Zoe's POVThe case had started and it had been harder to deal with than I had expected it to be.I saw my Dad for the first time in months and I was horrified by what they had done to him. What his own people had done to him. They knew he was innocent and yet they made him go through so much. I was so glad to have Maisie and Aunt Julie by my side.It was the second day of the case and today was going to be about presenting proofs about every horrible thing John did related to me.There was a possibility of me being called to testify as well. Aunt Julie combed my hair as Maisie talked to someone on the phone. We were expected to be at the Council Hall in about half an hour. "Don't worry, Zo. Your dad is a tough one. And soon, he is going to be with us again." Aunt Julie was trying to reassure me. She didn't need to. I had trust in Xavier.I had been worried for a while back there when he had chosen Claire over me but having him here when it truly mattered gave me strength to keep goi

    Zoe's POVThe council was adjourned again after John's representative gave a bunch of fake aliases of what a stand-up citizen he was.His engagement with Alyssa was used in his Beta position to expose my Dad's non-existent crimes against our pack. I was shocked to see our Alpha taking John's side against my Dad. They had been buddies when Dad was the Beta. I practically grew up in the pack house before everyone realized I was not getting a wolf.If I was so shocked, I couldn't imagine how hurt Dad was. Throughout the procession, he had stared at the cuffs on his wrists. I couldn't imagine how humiliated he would be feeling. 'Soon Daddy. Soon, it will all be over. Hang tight.' I thought to myself.When it was Xavier's turn, he had started providing proof after proof of my Dad's innocence. He had solid proof of John being the one who did the embezzlement and how he did it. I could see that neither John nor his representative were expecting those proofs. They must have thought they had
