Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 62
Haylee's POVThere is no sleep after Xavier's gnawing revelation. I walk the length of the guest bedroom, back and forth, a caged animal, my thoughts careening between rage and fright. Every couple of minutes I go in to see Kael and Lior, pleasantly asleep, in the other room, blissfully unaware that one of the two of them is now magically linked to the creature that slaughtered our family and everything we ever knew."We have to test them," I instruct Dr. Sarah for the third time, just as dawn is rising over Aiden’s territory. “Hey, there’s got to be a way to figure out which child is ill.”“Haylee, I’ve already told you,” Dr. Sarah says with patience, but I can also see exhaustion in her eyes. "Magic blood tests, especially in children are really dangerous. And if Xavier has locator spells cast into the bond, testing could inform him of our point of origin.”"So we do nothing?" I snap, my snarling with that of the wolf beneath my skin. “We just sit here, waiting for one of my childre

Haylee's POVThe atmosphere in Aiden’s living room is so tense one could cut it with a knife and by the time we see Xavier’s convoy approaching through the front windows, I’m beyond antsy. Three black SUVs pull into the driveway, their engines growling like metal wolves, and I discern before they emerge from the autos — at least a dozen enforcers, who step out of them in step.“He brought an army,” Marcus murmurs, his hand going to the weapon that rests on his hip.He is sending a message,” Aiden responds darkly. “Symbolic flexing to scare off us.”Xavier gets out of the front car, and he looks so… different. That composed, charming front I have known for five years is gone. He moves like a predator, his face is hard, cold, and calculating, and there's something in his eyes I don't like; something that frightens my wolf on sheer instinct.‘Haylee,’ he shouts; you can hear him from a long ways off. "Come out here. We need to talk."“Like hell,” Aiden snarls, standing as a shield in fro

Haylee's POVThe proof has been scattered over Aiden’s kitchen table like pieces of a monstrous puzzle, each document uncovering another layer of Xavier’s treachery. I sit sobbing and shaking as I turn over Master Elias’s research notes for the third time, the Latin phrases and the reams of finely detailed diagrams swimming out of focus through my tears of fury.“That motherfucker,” I mutter and slam the notebook closed. “That scheming, lying bastard has been pulling the strings on my whole life.You need to calm down Haylee,” Aiden says softly, laying a hand on my shoulder to hold me steady. “I know you’re angry, but we shouldn’t make a decision like this in haste.”"Calm down?" I spin to face him, my wolf almost snapping under my skin. "Xavier has been cooking up my brain with possession magic for five years Aiden. Five years of stolen memories, repressed emotions, and sired emotions. He murdered Master Elias to hide his sins, and God only knows what else he has done to ensure his s
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 59
Haylee's POVWe all load in for the drive to where Master Elias's body was found, which somehow seems longer than an hour from Dr. Sarah's office. Aiden continues to stare at me with concern, and I can feel through our bond that he recognizes my distress, but I need to see this on my own. I have to know just how powerful Xavier really is.“You don’t need to this.” Aiden says, for the third time, as we pull onto the access road to the woods. “The scene has already been processed by the authorities. We can get their report."“I have to see it,” I tell them, firmly. “If Master Elias was killed defending me, because he knew the truth of what Xavier did, then I owe it to him to speak.The place is cordoned off for crime scene, but Aiden is an Alpha so we can enter. The local sheriff, a no-nonsense old character named Thompson, guides us to the location where the body was found.“Found him right here,” says Sheriff Thompson, pointing at a depression under the forest floor near an ancient oa

Haylee's POVThe atmosphere in Dr. Sarah’s office is so thick, you can cut it with a knife as Aiden and I take our seats across from her at the desk. Her usual composure looks shaken, and the desperation in her voice when she summoned us here still rings in my ears.Dr. Sarah addresses us after the introductions, opening a worn folder. ”What I am going to teach you would shatter everything you thought you knew about True Bonds.” "What do you mean?" I lean in, despite the wad of dread in my belly.Dr. Sarah opens the file and fans a few documents out on her desk. I've been studying True Bonds since we last spoke, swotting up on the old books and cross referencing them with new magical theory. It turns out what I've found... it's not good."Aiden's hand grasps mine and I can feel how tense he is through our connection. "Just tell us, Sarah."“There are bonds which can be artificially influenced, with the help of dark magic,” she mutters, almost inaudibly. “Since natural generation coul
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 57
Haylee's POVThe dusty old books that cover Aiden’s desktop seem like they could contain the secrets of the universe, and yet after three hours of reading, I’m starting to see double. Aiden is on the other side of me, his brow furrowed in concentration as he reads an ancient text written in what I think is Old Norse."Anything useful?" I ask, rubbing my temples."Maybe." He glances up, and I can almost feel his excitement through our link. "The writer here references True Bonds, but in the archaic language of the time. Some of the passages are giving me trouble.”I circle the desk to see over his shoulder, attempting to ignore the fact his presence is inflating my pulse rate. Since we talked earlier, the connection between us is humming louder and stronger. Every feeling, everything is heightened."What does this part say?" Here I'm pointing to a piece that seems to be somewhat more legible.His finger trails the text as he translates, quietly. “Something about … ‘two souls, one flame
