LOGINXander’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Because Neelie’s mother was the part of the rogue group who killed Queen Sarah’s elder brother.” I sucked in a breath when Brian added in a sympathetic tone.Napoleon gasped aloud in the end.Sarah’s elder brother was killed in a rogue attack when he was only seven years old.“We need to investigate all the deaths of pups under the age of ten, Napoleon, during a span of 25 years in the past from now on,” I said to Napoleon, my voice going one tone low.“You…. You mean to say that these witches have been killing pups that can be a danger for their plans?” Napoleon asked me, his voice bit shaking, but I nodded in response when a few things surfaced at the back of my mind.“You were attacked more than a dozen times before you reached the age of 10, Nepoleon. I was also attacked countless times, and then there is Xyla and Naomi. Also, a few of the same incidents of all the alpha, and beta families with a powerful bloodline.” I reminded him in a dangerously low
Xander’s P.O.V. (Continued)He blinked while staring at me with the same wary expression.I didn’t change my expression either and kept our gazes locked.The biggest disadvantage and the advantage of being associated with the original royal bloodlines were that we couldn't lie to each other.And he knew perfectly well that I could have the throne at any time if I really wanted to.“Who are they, Xander?” he asked me in a stiff voice, breaking the suffocating silence after some time.“Definitely not Valerie because she is still in my pack, searching for the foundation core,” I answered him calmly.“I have already asked Queen Rubella to call all the witches out of the royal pack and send a fresh five new witches there.” I told him further, still calm, and my gaze locked with his.“You…. You didn’t even ask me?” he yelled, clearly offended by my action.“To save my pack, I can go to any extent, Nicholas, and you know that very well. If it means to defy you or destroy the royal pack.” I r
Xander’s P.O.V.I know that Xyla wanted to clear all the threats before she conceives.It wasn’t paranoia.It was real fear.With Naomi’s death, something snapped inside her.I could feel that. I feel everything that was going on in her.She didn’t know what exactly happened to her when she sang that lullaby to Naomi.Her mind replayed all their lives together, and I witnessed it.Naomi’s sweet and innocent smile.Her first betrayal…That timid, innocent, and wronged expression on that young Naomi…Everything….I experienced it with Xyla.That’s why, I am scared now.Both Xyla and Honey were on high guard. Their mind wasn’t working; it was running like a bullet train.Every question, every doubt coming from her mind was the result of that paranoia.“What are you thinking so hard?” Brian asked me, pulling me out of my trance.We were in the hospital as I was going to meet Nicholas.“Xyla asked Dalton and Henrick to track down Valerie and the other dark witch,” I told him in a low voice
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“What exactly do you want to do with us, Alpha?” Dalton asked me in a serious tone.I smiled, satisfied with the level of his intelligence.“I want you two to be my secret weapon,” I replied honestly.Their eyes widened in shock.“I know your capabilities very well, pups. Your knowledge on the different subjects, your skills in medicine and fighting, and above all, your grasp of witchcraft, you not only can help me find those dark witches but also destroy them.” I added it calmly, but their expression didn’t change.They didn’t speak for a good few moments, and I gave them time to recover.They were just eighteen, and what I was asking them was literally risky for their lives.“Listen, pups,” I said again but kept my voice calm.“You guys are supposed to be dead, and this is what the whole world still knows. What I want to know is why?”Dalton was the first to recover.“I…. I know that they want to kill my daughter because they believe that she will have some
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“We should stop dwelling on the past, Honey. I agree that she was manipulated, but killing Angel was her own decision. They all wanted to kill Angel, but none of them told Naomi about their plans.” I said to Honey in a cold tone.This was the bitter truth of the whole incident of Angel and my deaths.Naomi was jealous of me, and Lucian’s betrayal made her lose her mind.That was on her, not on me.Honey had no retort to my statement.She shut up and blocked me.Honey was a ruthless alpha she-wolf, but when it came to family, she became soft-hearted sometimes.I finished freshening up calmly, but the storm inside my heart was still going on.Naomi, once again, succeeded in stirring something in me, and I hated this situation.I hated this situation of being soft and heartbroken for the person who made me go through hell in our past life.After freshening up and changing clothes, I walked out of the closet.My bathroom was attached to the closet. So, I didn’t n
Xyla’s P.O.V.“You don’t need to apologize, Xander. She was a part of the team that ruined so many lives and is intending to kill our daughter in the future. She abandoned us 18 years ago. You still gave her an easy death,” I comforted Xander, feeling nothing but a hollowness in my chest.Naomi’s death shouldn’t have affected me like this, but I was affected.I felt something snapping in my chest when she died into my embrace.Xander held me tightly against his chest.We were in our bedroom.I didn’t want to cry, but tears still spilled out when I remembered Naomi.“Naomi told you something before her death, right?” he asked me in a low voice.An invisible lump clogged my throat.He was right.She did tell me something through mind-link before she took the last breath.“It’s okay. You don’t need to tell me like right now, but is it related to our daughter?” he asked me, a hint of anxiety evident in his voice.I rubbed my face on his chest, closing my eyes and tightening my grip around
Xyla’s P.O.V.I could feel their eyes on me, but I didn’t look in their direction, not even once. They had something to discuss with me, and I knew what that was.But I wasn't in a mood to have an argument with them again.My goal was to finish my breakfast and then go away from them for the rest o
Xyla’s P.O.V.For a few seconds, the whole world around me vanished when their gazes met.His dark black eyes were still as cold as I remembered them, but I was sure that I had tears in my amber eyes.Honey snarled in delight and tried to take over the control, but I pushed her back and blocked her
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)My jaw clenched hard as those words felt like a taunt, her declaration that I didn’t matter to my parents.I still kept my face calm, waiting for my parents to say something.“Can anyone speak so brazenly in front of the alpha family and their guests, Alpha Nolan?” Xander
Naomi’s P.O.V.“Good morning, Dad. How was the meeting?” I asked my father cheerfully while taking a seat beside the dining table.“Good morning, honey. The meeting went well.” He answered with a faint smile while serving food on my mother’s plate.I envied their love sometimes, but they were fated
