Xander's POV“You don't need to thank me, darling. Even if we weren't mates, I'd be here for you. Always. I love you, and I have loved you for a long, long time.”I kiss the top of her head and feel her relax another degree. And I mean every fucking word. The bond didn't make me love her. It only gave a name to something that had already been there.“Speaking of people who love you, Tobias and Lincoln are going apeshit. Between them, they've practically worn out my phone. I think you'd better call before they decide to turn the entire convoy around.”She sighs, then pulls back.“Shit, I'm sure they're worried. They would have felt everything.”I nod.“And I think the warriors passed on information about the attack. They're going out of their minds.”“Okay, I'll get dressed and then call them now.”I kiss her temple.“Okay, you finish up, and I'll go and check on the new car. Need anything else?”She shakes her head. “Nope, I'll be out in a sec.”I give her one more kiss and grab my ba

Xander's POVI lead Zahra through the rest stop towards the toilets and showers at the back of the building. There's a Task Force warrior standing outside each of the male and female doors, so I know they've been swept and cleared for our use. It's a relief knowing we can have ten fucking minutes of privacy without worrying about anyone wandering in on us, and having the warriors nearby means we can relax a little without letting our guard down completely. I don't think any of us have properly relaxed since we left Shadow.I nod at the one outside the female door and push it open, leading Zahra inside.The toilets are lined up on the right, and another door off to the left opens into a locker room, with shower cubicles at the back.“We don't have long, but have a shower. You'll feel better afterwards.” I have to pray it's true. I don't want to lie to her.I put her bag down on the bench in the middle of the room.“Thanks,” she says quietly.She looks so fucking tired standing there, h

Xander's POV“Come on, darling, let's go get washed up. Zach, can you organise food for us as well, please?” I ask my Beta as I wrap an arm around Zahra.“Sure, anything in particular?”I glance down at Zahra. She shrugs.“Not fussed.”He nods, pats her shoulder and turns to head inside.I give her a small squeeze, and we start walking towards the doors of the rest stop.“What is worrying you most right now?” I ask her quietly as we walk.She sighs. I can feel her relax as I hold her, but it's not enough. She dips her head, fighting her emotions hard, and I wish she'd just stop trying to hide them from me.“I know he came back, and I know it cost him to do so. Fuck, he nearly died to warn us, and I know he saved us and everything, but what if he did all of that out of guilt? Because he heard about the rogues and came to tell us for old times' sake? I just can't help thinking that as soon as he's better, he's going to decide he still doesn't want me, and reject me, and leave again.”My

Xander's POVI glance over at Zahra again. The emotions she's feeling, even muted as she tries to hide them from the bond, are making me feel ill. She's a bundle of fear, anxiety, anger and wary uncertainty. Fuck, if I were feeling what she currently is, I think I'd be a shaking, rocking mess in the corner. After everything she's been through, I need to take some of this load from her, but I have no idea how.Normally, I can make her smile, distract her, hold her close until the worst of whatever she's feeling starts to ease. But I can't kiss this away or make some stupid joke that will somehow put everything right. The one thing hurting her most is lying in the back of my fucking car, and there's nothing I can do to change that.Being so close to Max again is clearly setting her off, but I don't know how to fix this. Max is awake, and the nurses are quietly asking him questions as they run through various checks, but Zahra is all I can think about.And that's probably a good thing, b

Zahra's POVThe rest stop appears bright on the horizon as we approach it. After the dark, tree-lined roads, it almost looks like a space station, it's so lit up.Zanthe is restless. She keeps pacing and whining, and it's not helping my anxiety at all. Every turn she makes seems to scrape against my already frayed nerves. I can feel her agitation beneath my skin, the constant urge to turn around, go back to Max and put my hands on him. It's exhausting trying to hold her back when I can barely manage my own emotions.‘Will you cut it out?’ I snap at her.‘Will you?’ she all but snarls back at me. ‘What's your problem?’I startle, shocked by her tone. ‘What do you mean, what's my problem?’ I've never heard or felt anything like the animosity I can feel from her now.‘What's wrong?’ I try again.‘He's our fucking mate! He's injured, and he's back. Medus is barely holding himself together. I can feel him, Zahra. He's right there, and you're sitting here pretending you don't want to go to
Marked by fate Chapter 660
Zahra's POVHe's alive. He's fucking alive, and he's awake. Oh, thank the Goddess!‘Mate,’ Zanthe hums in satisfaction as she gently purrs for Medus, the rumble low in my mind.The word jerks me back to my senses. Mate. And memories flood back into my exhausted and panicked brain. Max walking away, the anger and disgust on his face back at the lake house. The utterly devastating heartbreak as my mate ran away from me in the forest.Zanthe is still purring, so fucking happy to have Medus close again, and now that those memories have come rushing back, I almost resent her for it. How can she be so pleased when I can still remember every horrible second of what happened between us? I know she missed him. Fuck, I missed him too, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten what he did.I pull back, reality crashing back in. Max's face scrunches as I retreat, his brows furrowing, and something that looks horribly like hurt flashes through those green eyes. He reaches for me, his hand coming up tow
