chapter 65

SELIORA POV

I was furious.

Furious at myself, furious at the situation.

How dare he decide to stop looking for answers just when my father got taken?

I should have known he was a selfish brat who also did things that only favoured him. He does not care whether my father was taken or not and will not search for him.

That stone was the only leverage I had against him now. I was willing to use it to get whatever I wanted from him.

I would love to go back home and see my mother and Thlaric but there was nothing that could help. No pack, no resources, only a house burnt to the ground.

Kaelion had all the resources I had to look for my father. There was no way I was going to allow him to send me back to nothing.

Not right now.

Seeing him kiss Claire didn't come as a surprise. It only made me see the reality of things.

I was so stupid to develop feelings for him. We will only ever remain enemies, nothing more.

As I continued to make my way into my room, I ran into Claire who had a huge smile on her face.

“I cannot deal with this bitch right now,” I thought to myself.

It had been a while since I listened to her nonsense and I just was not in the mood.

I instantly turned my back and walked the other way.

“Seliora,” She called out to me.

She must have seen and followed me.

I looked back. “I am really not in the mood for this, Claire.”

“Do not worry, the first thing I will make sure of after I get married to Kaelion is to throw you out of the house and send you back to your family,” She said, walking away.

The thought of Kaelion getting married made me so mad. I thought I had moved past this, I had even saved his life on two occasions but it turned out I still harboured some hate towards him.

My father might have been responsible for his actions but it just does not change the fact that he murdered my pack.

Now he was going to be happy while I would forever carry the memory of the incident which was imprinted on my mind.

I could feel my heart racing as I breathed heavily, I was starting to get more and more furious.

“No Seliora,” I muttered. “You have to keep it together.”

Finding my father was my main priority.

I then pulled myself together and walked into my room. I had kept the kysnite stone somewhere safe.

Kaelion would never be able to get it from me until he finds my father.

I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. The scene of how I had witnessed Claire kiss Kaelion flashed in my mind.

I thought about how he just stood there and did nothing. He must have wanted it not to end.

I didn't know which made me upset more, the fact that he finally decided to let me go after taking everything from me, or how my heart raced as I watched him and Claire kiss.

It was not like there was anything between the two of us. But why? Why does it hurt that he was marrying Claire?

He clearly made it clear in front of everyone in the ballroom that he wanted nothing to do with me.

Spending too much time with him had made me lose control of myself.

Staying inside didn't make me feel better. I needed some air.

I got out of bed and made my way outside the house. I could see some of the pack members glare at me as I walked.

I was used to them now.

If they ever tried to hurt me, I would not hesitate to use the kysnite stone to drain their energy.

As I walked past the pack cell, I suddenly remembered Xavier. I was going to see him today.

“Who do you need to see?” The guard asked with a straight face as I tried to enter the cell.

“Xavier,” I muttered with a straight face.

“He is no longer here,” The guard answered.

“What do you mean he is no longer here?” I asked.

“The Alpha took care of him,” The guard answered.

Those words struck me. The only thing I could think of was what exactly had happened to Xavier and what the guard meant by that.

“Kaelion must have killed him,” I thought to myself, clenching my fist.

I was so stupid to think he had a good side. The real him was the one I saw in the ballroom on the day we met.

The one who publicly humiliated me and ended my world.

I was not going to let him get away with this. I stormed into the house and picked up the stone which I had kept in the ceiling.

I then stormed out and made my way into his office.

“You killed Xavier!” I stated, squeezing the kysnite which was hidden in my pocket.

“I had him taken care of, Seliora. He disobeyed my orders and helped you,” He said, while I contemplated whether or not I was going to use the kysnite stone on him.

I didn't want to kill him of course, I only wanted him to feel the same pain I was feeling.

“I had him sent back to his parents' house,” Kaelion added.

“You didn't kill him,” I muttered, as my anger melted.

“He is a member of my pack, Seliora. Why would I kill him?” He answered, standing up from where he was seated and walking over to me. “You were right about what you said earlier, you deserve to know how your father is involved in all this, I brought you into all of this.”

He was getting too close to the stone.

“What are you driving at?” I asked, walking over to the door.

“I brought some of your father's things here, things I found in his office,” He said. “You might find something in there which can help.”
