Xavier walked his way back from the human world, a bag of liquor in his hand. He was angry at Zillon and his friends, but mostly at himself. He should've held his cool, should've pretended to be okay... shouldn't have let them rile him up.Damn, he was a fool, the fact that they could get to him with those words only proved that he wasn't over the past...he was still living in the pain, still basking in the fact that back then he really had been unwanted...How cruel...Gripping the bag tighter, he walked off into the forest, taking shortcuts until he stood by the borders of his pack. Before stepping into the human world, he had sat at the foot of the same tree he now stood in front of for hours, thinking the very same thing he was thinking now...And that was...that was...well he was still jealous of Zillon... He could've felt it in his bones when Liam spoke, when he had laughed at him. He was mocking him, telling him that Zillon was better and he'd always be and that...that was awfu

By the time they made it back to the pack house, the bottle in Xavier's hand was empty and yet his heart was wrecked. So much pain that he could swear on his life that it was bleeding. His eyes glided up, staring longingly at Celia's back. He'd reach for her, touch her, hold her...but she didn't want him to...Tears welled up in his eyes, but he wouldn't let them fall, he was an alpha king, this shouldn't phase him, this shouldn't hurt...But God did it hurt! It hurt like a b*tch, her words felt like stones mercilessly being thrown at his chest or like a knife cutting over and over into his heart. He wanted it to stop and the only way that would happen was if he managed to stop her from leaving, he'd try...he'd give it his all...because she...she was now the person he wanted to look up at and be happy.He didn't want Celeste, not anymore...and it took this much for him to fully acknowledge that...what a f*cking idiot he was, the godde—"Celeste...!" Zillon came running down the stairs

She raised the knife higher, then swung forward with all her might, not at all catching onto the fact that the eyes of the alpha king beneath her wasn't hazel anymore, they were red.Xavier grabbed after her quickly approaching hand, however, he wasn't the one to catch it. It was somebody who came up from behind, somebody no other than Celia.Her eyes were austere, her lips pursed in a thin line...she didn't seem the least bit surprised, if anything, she seem irritated, angry even. "You're a stupid b*tch, you know that?"The omega on top of him gasped, cocking her head to stare back at Celia. "W-What...how...are you here?""That doesn't matter." Celia pulled the omegas hand forward, situating the knife in it at her neck. "Why don't you try killing him again when you make it out of hell?"A petrified look invaded the girl's eyes, her body starting to shake. "P-Please I..." She tried to push away from the knife, but it was useless...for regardless of her struggles, Celia sliced right th

Xavier and Celia stepped out of the room together, Celia wearing the same clothes she had thrown off and Xavier still wearing the bloodied ones. "I think I need a bath...""We both do...we smell quite awful.""Then how about another round in the shower?""How about another round up your ass?"Xavier glared over at her. "You're always like this and when it gets down to it, you're even more desperate than I a—""Xavier..."Xavier twisted towards the stairs, watching as Gabriel climbed up the steps. "It's happening again, a march bigger than the one five years ago has begun... They're approaching the east side of the borders though far, their approach is quick.""You're talking about the new protest Alex declared? So soon? Don't they know it's useless? It'll be just like the last time...one howl and they'll all be bowing before the wolf they despise. This time I won't let any of them live.""This time it's different Alpha, not everyone will bow...humans are marching in right behind them.

"I had no choice, Sasha was all I had left, she was the only rememberance I had of my Natasha. She's her daughter you see, they look so much alike despite the 19 years difference. I couldn't have murdered her when she raided my pack, and so my weak heart gave her the go to do whatever she wanted and now I regret it." He looked away, wiping his eyes. "Sasha started this and she won't stop until it's finished.""Well human or not, Sasha won't live long enough to finish whatever this is to her. Her revenge party is getting too loud, someone ought to turn it down." Xavier gestured towards the alpha. "Lock him back up Gabriel...ohh and wait, is there no cure at all for wolfbane? You're a wolf too, I'm sure you must've thought it'd be dangerous for you too.""I've been trying to come up with one, but I haven't found the right ingredients yet...it's frustrating really, a cure could've ended this.""So there's nothing at all that can slow it down? I've noticed that it spreads as fast as light
