XAVIER'S POVI had tried to protect her but I was too late. It had all happened way too fast.Abigail had changed into her wolf form in a split second and had charged at Anna immediately without giving me any time to act.Before I could come in, Abigail had already knocked Anna to the ground and had tore open her chest with her the claws on her sharp paws.I watched Anna tumble to the ground and I had felt the impact of her head in mine. It was as if she and I were connected and I was able to feel her pain.I arrived just in time as Abigail was about to grab Anna in her mouth which was wide open.I pushed Abigail away with my entire strength, knocking her to the ground.I heard her whimper in pain but I paid her no mind and ran to Anna's side.I tried all I could to bring Anna back to consciousness but she was slipping away so fast.I placed my hands beneath her head to cradle it but then I pulled it out as I felt the warm, sticky, liquid.I smelled the blood and knew it was blood lo

XAVIER'S POV Even though what I had heard was not new to me, my chest clutched at the sound of those words.Anna and I were not the best of buddies but the thought that she despised me to the extent that she would not let my blood heal her was troubling. "But it healed her chest wound!" I said explaining to the old woman."She had a huge wound that was bleeding so much and when I mixed my blood with hers, it healed immediately," I explained.It did not make sense that my blood would heal her and then stop healing her next. Did her hate for me grow stronger when our blood got mixed?That would sound weird as it was the opposite for me. The connection I had always felt towards Anna had tripled the moment my blood had mixed with hers."Your blood may have healed her physical wounds but the wounds we are trying to heal now are the ones that have been done to her mind," The healer spoke slowly as if she was trying to explain something to a little child."Her mind? What injury to her mind

XAVIER'S POVMy uncle walked out of the door but not after staring down in a way that made me reconsider the way I had acted towards him.I had thought he was going to attack me and had even prayed he would. I needed an opportunity to unleash the anger and pain that was inside of me.When he left, I sat down on the bed beside Anna, abandoning my chair which had toppled to the ground when I had risen to rebuke my uncle. My legs felt weak as I looked at her. I used all my energy to stand up. My heart was still racing in my chest. Like a child who had just done something wrong. I knew my uncle wasn't going to let it slip. He was going to come for me and the knowledge made something flip in my stomach. I shook my head in an attempt to push away all the thoughts in my head and concentrated on the girl beside me.I stroked her ear lightly, pulling the locks of hair that had made it to her face behind her ears. I heaved a sigh as my hands caressed her cheeks gently. They were cold, if she

XAVIER'S POVIt was three days already and the reports on Anna's condition were getting worse than better.She still looked so healthy as she slept even though she looked as pale as a ghost but we could all perceive the death that hid from our eyes with our noses.The smell which would have been undetectable to the human nose was so pungent to our noses.The smell of Anna's decaying wounds were so bad that I noticed the maids were trying their best to keep their face straight when inside the room. They had even resorted to shifts in order to escape the small decaying flesh that seemed to engulf the entire room. The only person who seemed not to be affected by the smell was me because I was always by her side.I had been there when the smell first started permeating the air and I was still by her side only moving thrice a day to relieve my bowels.I had not taken a bath in those three days and I was starting to think my body's smell was an aggravating factor to the general smell of th

XAVIER’S POVI remained in that position on the bed with her in my arms till I fell asleep. But even in my sleep, Anna remained in the same position.My soul was broken, and I was at my breaking point.Tears continued streaming down my face until the pain I felt transformed into anger. Anger for the way she was treating me.I apologized. I had spoken to her like the male healer had suggested. I stayed by her side every single moment despite the decaying smell everyone complained about. I remained with her.I poured my heart out to her even if I had no idea what I was doing. I even regretted supporting Abigael when she had only been protecting me.And this was how she chose to pay me back —by letting herself die all for hatred I couldn’t even figure out where it originated from.My wolf felt like it had been cursed with rejection. It was like a burning drive in my soul, tearing me apart till I had no strength left in me.Anna had no right to make me feel this way. She had no right to m
