LOGINXAVIER“You should know I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I shouldn't be blaming him but I told him to tell you guys before it was too late. Even if he didn't tell the others, he should have told you. It wasn't in my place to do anything that's why I didn't. I'm really sorry things turned out like this.” Kaan sighed, facing the window with his hands resting on the sills. His eyes were heavy and he had equally heavier eye bags from not sleeping at all. He remained at my uncle's side all through barely saying a word except when William was going crazy. It hit him hard, I could see it, he hadn't been expecting something like that. It had obviously been a long time since someone died in the family and he was finding it hard to cope with it. “It's not your fault. I know how Xerxes can be. He's my brother. It's just that I didn't think I'd be losing him this early. With the amount of money we have, cancer would have been easily treatable if he had said something quickly. This wou
XAVIERHe hadn't opened his eyes since I came here. Kaan and William were in the room, sitting quietly. Kaan hadn't spoken a word to me since I came.in. He sat by Xerxes’’s side, holding his hand tightly and never taking his eyes orr him, it was like he was begging him not to die. When I walked in, he looked at me but didn't say a word. It was very obvious that I already knew about it and he obviously wasn't happy with that. I didn't force him to say anything though. He must have felt very betrayed seeing that neither of us told him about it. William however was very vocal about his unhappiness. He spent every hour of me being there cursing me out like it would make the situation any better. He raised his voice, pointed his finger at me and even threw me against the wall, grabbing my collar and wrapping it around my neck tightly. “I told you guys that this kid was up to no good. Bringing him into this family after what his father had done to us was the stupidest thing ever! His
MIAI didn't leave immediately. I waited till my dad woke up. I'd be spending a lot of time at the hospital so it won't be nice for him to wake up and not see me by his side. He woke up that afternoon, groaning as he moved around and I reached forward to help him sit up. As he saw my face, he smiled and pulled me in for a hug, holding me very tight like I would disappear. “Hey dad, it's okay, I'm here. You're safe. You're safe.”He was breathing heavily in my ear and I knew he was trying so hard not to cry. That bastard had made me see my father in a way that he had never been before. It scared me but I had to be strong for him. “Mia, did he hurt you? Did anything happen to you? He told me you came to the house. What happened, are you okay?” “Dad, you're the one who got kidnapped. Why are you worried about me? Silas crossed the line, he did something I never imagined he would do. I should have known that he was a scum bag and nothing good would ever come out of him. I underestima
MIAThe doctor had come to take a look at him. He was dirty, he had been beaten up terribly and he was on the brink of death. He couldn't even open his eyes to see that I was the one speaking to him but the fact that he was back home comforted me. Silas just couldn't send him back in one piece could he? He just had to hurt him. Regardless, that would be dealt with later. My dad was home. I stayed by his side while he slept. One of my main problems was out of the way, the other,I didn't know how to deal with because how was I supposed to heal Xavier's uncle. I felt this obligation to do something. At this point, Xerxes is going to die if something isn't done. There's little to nothing that can be done if we're being honest. Except I suck it out with a straw…As I sat at my dad's bedside, I called Magma asking for help. She was still back at the house, clearly she was enjoying the pack a little too much. “You want to heal what?”Of course she would find it ridiculous. “Magma,
MIA“What's the time?” Xavier was sitting on the bed with his phone so I was expecting him to answer. He remained silent but my mind was too focused on the gate. I'd been standing there since I got back. My heart was racing in my chest. What if Silas refused to let him go just so he could pass a message to me? What if we had gone about it in the wrong way? Maybe he got pissed about the whole thing and decided that he would definitely not return my dad. It just bothered me to death. “Xavier, what is the time?”I finally turned around to face him and I saw that he wasn't actually on his phone. He was sitting down at the side of the bed with his fingers intertwined between his legs and his head dropped down, very lost in thought. “Xavier.” He finally looked up, his face was red, his eyes equally the same color. The vein in his head was bulging and I could tell he was fighting back something. “What's wrong? What's going on?” He sniffled, wiping his face with the back of his hand
MIAHe froze, not knowing how to react. “Mia…”Tears gathered quickly in my throat as I looked at him, not knowing that my sweet boy was going through so much internal trouble. “I'm sorry. I've not been very fair to you. You've been doing so much to fight for us and I don't appreciate you. You deserve better. Much better than I can possibly give to you. You've sacrificed so much, your inheritance, your father and everything you could own if only you let me go but you left all that for me. You're a good man, Xavier. I don't know what I did to deserve you.”He was still wearing a confused look, trying to figure out what emotion I was wearing. He reached out over the console to hold my hand. “Mia, are you okay?”“I'm not done. Please. I heard what you said, the other night. When you said you loved me, I wasn't asleep. I heard everything you said. I only acted like that because I didn't know if I was ready to say those words to you. I know how I feel about you but hearing you say thos
MIAMy head pounded.That was the first thing I felt when consciousness started to creep back in. A dull, throbbing ache that pulsed behind my eyes.I tried to open them but my eyelids felt heavy. Like someone had tied weights to them.Where was I?I forced my eyes open and everything was blurry at

XAVIERThe wolf in my jaws went limp and I dropped it immediately and spun around only to pause, my heart dropping to my stomach.Where was Mia?My entire body went rigid before I blinked and pushed myself to move and bolted toward the back of the cottage. My paws barely touched the ground as I ran
MIA“I’m not… entirely human.”Xavier’s words echoed in my head and I tried to make sense of it. Well, it was pretty simple and there wasn’t really anything to break down. But still, not entirely human?What does that mean? There are sub sub-humans or something else entirely?What did that even mea
