Se connecterXyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Stop her, Xyla. Your blood must not enter his body.” Xander almost yelled at me.Vera also stopped, but her breathing was ragging.I felt Fenrir restricted her movements.“Don’t forget that your blood possesses some other powers, too.” Xander reminded me.“Tell him to let me go, sis.” Vera demanded, slowly closing the distance between us and Lucian.“My blood can’t be on him, Vera. He ….. a witch needs its victim’s blood if it needs to cast a spell.” I reminded her calmly.She growled aloud and then started laughing manically.“Right… right.” She muttered while laughing.Then snapped her head towards Carl. He was now under her command and was shooting daggers at her through his eyes.“What? Feeling pity for your elder son?” she taunted him and then swayed her hand with all her strength.“Aaaahhhh.” Lucian screamed at the top of his lungs when her claw slashed his face.“Vera.” Carl yelled in panic, terror evident on his face.“What a love, Carl? You truly am
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What?” Lucian barked.“What did I say wrong, huh?” He spat, looking at me with contempt and mockery.I had pulled Vera backward when I sensed that he was about to use something on Vera.So, now there was a good distance between us.Lucian tried to stand up again.He spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, trying to rise, but his body swayed badly.“Ever since she understood that she could be a princess by acting coquettishly and could push you back, she did everything to make your pathetic parents ignore you, Xyla. You can’t deny that.”My demeanour turned cold at that very instant.“Don’t pay attention to him, Xyla. He is trying to provoke you.” Ruben said to me through mind-link.“Is that so?” Ethan intervened.Lucian’s expression turned dark instantly.“Then why didn’t our parents cherish me and ignore you, huh?” Ethan questioned further.“Why did they use me as your steppingstone when you…. The elder brother should be the one?”“Because I am not Xyla. I
Xyla’s P.O.V.“She needs to stay in control of her emotions, Xyla, or else it will hurt all of us,” Honey said to me worriedly.I knew what we stood to lose by giving control to Vera, but she needed this closure.She can’t go back to the moon realm with resentment and regrets.And her biggest regret was leaving Lucian unharmed.For years, she resented Naomi and Lucian for everything that they put her through.Tonight, the second she sensed Lucian, she pleaded with me to let her get her revenge.I wanted to refuse because we were still dying, but I only had one regret in my heart.That I had to leave my mates behind.And that would be the reason for their doom.But Vera….She doesn’t deserve to be trapped between life and death like this.I saw my father’s eyes widen in shock and terror as soon as he realised that the she-wolf standing in front of him wasn’t me but his younger daughter’s wolf.Vera laughed…A guttural laugh…The mockery and hatred in her laughter stabbed my heart count
Xander’s P.O.V. (Continued)I was about to run in her direction when I sensed something that froze me.Not only me, but both Fenrir and Beast also froze at the back of my mind.Xyla walked at the edge of the circle on her side like a queen walking towards her throne.Her hair was open, but it had changed from warm honey to golden brown.“Vera!” I remarked in shock, my eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.Her dark golden eyes looked icy cold, and they were locked at Lucian.Ruben was walking behind her with five other warriors and Henry.“Why did you bring her here?” I asked Henry through mind-link.“We didn’t bring her here, Alpha. She suddenly woke up and then demanded that Ruben to bring her here. She…. She used her alpha authority over us.” Henry answered, shocking me again.“Xyla,” I tried to mind-link Xyla through mind-link.“She needs her revenge, Xander. Let her do what she wants to do so that she can go back to the moon realm without any regret.” Xyla answered me tire
Xander’s P.O.V. (Continued)“That woman stopped being my mother the second she decided to sacrifice me to pave the way for you.”It was cold and brutal, but the reality that Ethan had accepted was that his mother never had him in her heart.He had accepted that his mother gave birth to him only to sacrifice him later so that Lucian could climb higher.I didn’t need more lifetimes to understand what exactly was going on in Ethan’s head and heart.It was in his eyes.The raw pain and resentment when he looked at Lucian didn’t come from recent events.It was years of resentment.I looked at Lucian and snorted in disdain.“Enough of your drama, Lucian,” I said coldly before he could open his mouth and scream at Ethan.I needed to be with my mate, not watching his pathetic performance.Lucian looked at me and instantly stiffened.His eyes blazed with pure hatred and fear, but I just took a few steps forward, entering the main circle.This was the very same place where Xyla punished Naomi b
Xander’s P.O.V.“This pack can’t go on without an alpha. With Xyla on her deathbed, and Naomi dead, I am the next heir.”A cold smirk crept to my lips while listening to the self-righteous words of the most pathetic wolf I had ever seen.“It’s already your luck that you are still alive, Lucian. Don’t push your luck and get the hell out of here before I forget that you are still my brother.” Ethan roared at him, fury seeping out of his aura.I was still marveling at Lucian’s audacity but was thrilled to see Ethan’s fury.“This is how a beta must act,” Fenrir remarked coldly, but he was also impressed by Ethan’s protectiveness towards the pack and towards Xyla.Lucian chuckled mockingly, completely unfazed by Ethan’s outburst.Nolan and Carl, with their team, were also glaring at Lucian, who was now standing in the middle of the city center circle.“Save your brother, little brother. Did you forget that I always defeated you in the spars?” Lucian mocked Ethan, but Ethan suddenly chuckle
