Marked by fate Chapter 687
Tobias's POVI turn but catch sight of two people climbing out of the other side of the car.Max is being helped by a woman I assume is one of the nurses. Another woman and the Shadow Pack doctor hurry over to help, appearing from somewhere I don't quite catch.Between them, they manage to get Max into a wheelchair before whisking him away.I notice Xander watching him go, but Zahra is already talking to Zach and Lincoln.“Did everything go all right on the way, with Max?” I ask Xander.He sighs and shrugs. “It's a long story, and we need to talk, but not right now.”He looks as though he's about to collapse.“Come on, we've got a suite of rooms. Let me show you. You look like you could do with a nap.”He grimaces slightly before turning to check on Zahra.I give the bond I share with Lincoln a gentle tug, and he glances over at me. I tilt my head towards Xander before linking him.‘I'm taking Xander up to the rooms before he passes out. Can you bring Zahra and ask for some food to be

Tobias's POVWe hurry down the side of the lodge and around to the front drive, where Sam is already striding down the steps, clearly having been keeping an eye out for them too.Lincoln takes his place beside me, and I can feel his excitement and agitation through the bond, although I hardly need it to tell me how he's feeling. The man is practically trembling with impatience, and while I'm trying very hard to maintain a little more decorum, I'm not entirely sure I'm succeeding.It feels like an age before the first vehicle finally comes through the gates and makes its way up the driveway. I frown as I recognise one of the pickups some of the warriors were travelling in, although it's in such a fucking state that I almost don't recognise it. Both headlights are smashed, the bonnet is covered in dents, and there are scratches running along practically every panel. Clearly, they got caught up in the attack as well.Aiden's car follows, looking even worse. The front bumper is hanging lo

Tobias's POVI lean over the terrace railing for what has to be the hundredth time, searching the winding mountain road for any sign of approaching vehicles.Behind me, Lincoln lets out a quiet laugh as he paces the length of the terrace.“You've checked that road about fifty times already,” he mutters.“And you've been pacing for the last hour,” I point out, glancing over my shoulder.“Calm down. She's close. Give it time,” he urges, although there's very little conviction behind his words.I raise an eyebrow at him, but he just shrugs and continues pacing. He's just as desperate to see her as I am, regardless of how calm he's trying to sound.The last… fuck, I don't even know how long it's been since I last saw her. It feels like an eternity.Knowing they were attacked, feeling Zahra's terror through the bond, and then having to drive away from her to get the rest of Shadow Pack to safety has to be one of the hardest things I've ever done. Every instinct I possess was screaming at m

Xander's POVMax nods.“All of you. I know Zahra has three other mates, and I'm not asking any of you to step aside. I was frightened because I thought I'd never be as important to her as the rest of you.”He glances down, his hand shifting protectively across his abdomen.“But I don't want to lose her because I'm too much of a coward to find out whether I was wrong.”I study him, searching for some sign that he's saying what he thinks I want to hear, but there's none that I can see.“I'm not going to pretend I won't make mistakes,” he adds. “But if something's wrong, I'll talk about it. I won't just disappear again.”I want to believe him. Goddess, I want to believe him.There's still something I need to ask him, though.I glance at the bloodstained dressings covering his abdomen, buying myself a moment to consider my words. Max has no idea what Selene revealed about the bond, or just how much is depending on it, and I have no intention of telling him. Not yet.He's already spent wee

Xander's POVIt doesn't excuse what he did, but at least I understand it better, and I can't help thinking how different things might have been if he'd just fucking talked to me.“You hurt her, Max. And you hurt me. You hurt all of us.”“I know.” He meets my eyes. “I told myself I needed space, but I didn't have to disappear the way I did. I didn't have to leave Zahra wondering whether she'd done something wrong, and I didn't have to shut you out either.”Hearing him acknowledge that he's hurt me takes some of the anger out of my chest, although it does nothing to ease the ache beneath it.“You didn't even call,” I say before I can stop myself. “Or text. Not once.”My voice isn't quite as steady as I'd like, and I hate that he can probably hear it. Four fucking years together, and then nothing. Not even a message to say he was all right.Max's face tightens, and he looks genuinely ashamed.“I know. I'm sorry.” He pauses, rubbing a hand over his face before continuing. “At first, I cou

Xander's POV“Then you know a little of what you've put her through,” I say quietly.Max flinches, his eyes dropping to the towel covering his lap.“Yeah,” he murmurs. “I think I'm starting to.”I'd expected an argument, some explanation about needing time to think or how none of this was what he'd anticipated. Instead, he looks thoroughly fucking miserable.“She's frightened you're going to recover and disappear again, Max. That you came back to warn us about the rogues because you felt guilty, not because you actually want to stay.”He rubs his thumb along the edge of the towel.“I heard her say that. I just…” He swallows. “I didn't realise she thought I might reject her.”“Max, you left. You found out she was your mate and walked away without telling her whether you intended to come back. What did you expect her to think?”His jaw tightens, but he doesn't argue.“I know. And I know I've hurt her.” He looks up at me. “But I haven't rejected her, Xander. I won't lie and say the thoug
