LOGINXyla’s P.O.V.“No wonder,” Roma mumbled, playing along with Xander, which surprised me again.Xander’s presence here, and his nonchalant declaration of his powers in front of Naomi, his protectiveness towards me, and the way he clarified all the doubts about me, why I sensed dark magic and potion in Mom and Mack were something that I really didn’t expect from him.“Thanks for helping, and Xyla, Alpha Locke. I am truly grateful to you for this, and I owe you for this.” Dad showed his gratitude towards Xander, but my eyes widened in shock when he bowed his head in front of Xander.“Dad!” I exclaimed aloud in shock and shot up on my feet.Roma had already started walking away while supporting Mom.“What are you doing?” I asked him while yelling in shock.I held his arm, looking at him in shock and worry.“I am your father, Xyla. I bowed to him as your father, showing my respect and gratitude to the person who saved my daughter, not as an alpha.” Dad clarified in a cracked voice, holding
Naomi’s P.O.V. (Continued)His heavy footsteps, filled with authority and dominance, felt like a sharp thud on my chest.Why is he here? Why didn’t we get any information about him coming here.I looked in his direction fearfully, and my heart almost stopped beating.Not only was I scared to death of him, but I was also in awe.He wasn’t in a suit, just like the other time he visited our pack.He was wearing a draped deep V-neck wrap tank top, a black silk sleeveless top, paired with parallel pants in the same fabric.I didn’t feel like he was here for business, but more like he was here to seduce a woman.All of his toned chest and arm muscles flexed with every movement of his body. The dark color of the fabric made his appearance more irresistible than I could have thought about a man’s appearance.His barrel chest flicked its muscles when he moved. He didn’t have a V-shape upper body, but a well-built athletic shape. Through the fabric, his stomach muscles were also flexing.I felt
Naomi’s P.O.V.The dark witch gave me a potion to give to any of my parents and tried to put the blame on Xyla and our pack witch, Roma.The aim was to throw Roma out of the pack, as she has become the biggest hurdle in my way, and also let the people think that Xyla is now obsessed with power and can go to any extent, even use dark magic.Everything went perfectly in the beginning. I fed Mom the potion through a wine glass, not with pastry as Xyla suspected.Then tell Mom that I wish to take Lucian as my chosen mate, instead of waiting for my fated mate.This was to make Lucian get off my back.As I expected, Mom exploded, and in a fit of rage, she called Xyla back.The dark witch told me that somehow, Xyla can now sense the dark potions or poisons in the people around her.So, I was sure that Xyla would do something to save Mom, and that would be the perfect opening for my final act.I needed to get back everything that I lost because Xyla rejected Lucian in my room.I became the su
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Shut up, you.” I roared at her and looked at my parents worriedly.Even if they didn’t treat me fairly, they were my parents. I couldn’t see them walking towards their death.“I am scared, Nolan. What’s going on?” Mom cried while looking at Dad with a fearful gaze.As her mate, I understood that Dad’s first instinct was to go to Mom and embrace her, give her the comfort and assurance that she was seeking from her, but I guess my command worked on him.He looked torn between going to her immediately and staying away from her and observing her.“It’s okay, Mom. Roma is on her way here. You are okay. Dad and I will never let anything happen to you.” I assured my mother in a calm tone.She was now more sensitive to our emotions than she should be.I guess the dark witch changed the potion this time.“Dad, you should arrest Xyla.” I snapped my head in Naomi’s direction when she spoke in a very serious tone.I narrowed my eyes, understanding the underlying meaning
Xyla’s P.O.V.“What is it, Mom? Why did you call me in such a hurry?” I asked my mother calmly while entering the living room.She was now pacing so hard that I felt as if she is determined to dig holes in the carpet and in the floor with her heels.I was about to go to the hospital to see Fred, and also get Mack’s test results when Mom mind-linked me and asked me to come home urgently.“You need to put some sense in your sister’s brain.” She demanded angrily while marching in my direction.I stopped abruptly and raised my hands up immediately, making her stop coming to me, too.“You want me to put some sense in her?” I asked her while pointing a finger in Naomi’s direction, raising my brows in the process.Naomi was now sitting at the corner of the long couch, looking downwards, shrinking her body to the extent where it seemed that she wanted to make herself invisible.This was her classic tactic, and once again, it seems that my mother fell for her.“She is the most sensible between
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“For how long did you cook them?” I asked her another question in a calm tone, though.“Not for long, Alpha. I prepared the ingredients last night, so it took me only two or three minutes to finish cooking them.” She replied to me in the same timid tone, but I got the message.“Thanks, Mona. I will eat them in a few minutes. You can go now.” I instructed her with a faint smile.She nodded in response and then hurriedly walked out of the room after putting a plate full of nachos on the desk.“They are smelling nice,” Ruben mumbled while picking one from the plate.I smiled but didn’t say anything to him and continued sipping the coffee.Mona was loyal to me and my eye on Naomi for years.She was two years older than me, and in a way, she took care of me like an older sister.In my past life, Mona tried to warn me against Naomi so many times, but I never paid attention to her. In the end, I sent her away after I got pissed by her constant nagging.Naomi told me
Xyla’s P.O.V.I concentrated on my breakfast under the tense gaze of my parents and Naomi.Well, my parents were tense and worried while Naomi was shooting daggers at me through her eyes.Xander left right after the dinner, but the way he left showed that he was pissed, and now my parents were worr
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)The silence and the tension in the room…Both are thick to the extent of suffocation…What the f**k was wrong with this man?My eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock. Honey was delighted, but she was also shocked by what he asked.Among all of us, only he was th
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
