Lahat ng Kabanata ng Fated to My Ex's Brother-In-Law: Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

Zoe's POVIt had been a few weeks since the grand wedding.I had joined the office team and was introduced to the rest of the people on my floor. The work was great. Misha and I were paired up for most tasks since we already had some fieldwork practice together. I rarely saw Rory since she was busy with higher-ups and had moved to the next great project with another team.I made Dad start a few hobbies since he was usually home alone till I got back from work. I hadn't seen Angelina much either. She had left for New York to find herself a college of choice for further studies. I couldn't get Xavier out of my head. No matter what I was doing, his words, his touch, and the way he was looking at me were burned in my brain. Why did he have to say all those things? Why did he suddenly care? Hadn't he given up on me? On us? And what did he mean that Richard was dangerous? No, I don't know why he said that. But as far as I had known Richard, he couldn't be that bad, could he? Why could my

Eva was freaking out.One moment, she was listening to Richard's conversation with the traffickers, and the next, Zoe was gone from her side.She noticed Zoe turn the corner on the far side of the compound and instantly tried to mind-link her. But like the last few times she had tried, Zoe's mind-link was closed. It was unreachable. But Eva didn't have time to stay confused.She rushed after Zoe. She had no idea what the young girl had in mind but Eva mind-linked Xavier."What do you mean she was gone? What were you doing?" Xavier thundered. His anger made Eva wince.'I was listening. And I thought she was too.' Eva tried to explain as she noticed Zoe hiding behind a few large crates."Where is she now?" Xavier asked.'Inside the compound, Alpha. She's got your cloaking ring. But if I get any closer I'll be found.' Eva felt guilty but there was no time to point fingers yet."Make sure Zoe doesn't get seen. And don't get yourself caught either." Xavier ordered and motioned hi

Zoe's POVEverything hurt.I couldn't focus on which pain was more unbearable. The ache in my heart at the loss of my last family member, my only shelter in the cruel world. Or, the pain from the bones that kept breaking on their own for some reason.I wailed with everything I had until the pain consumed me. I couldn't see anything. I couldn't hear anything. All there was, was a terrible, unbearable, red-hot pain, all over me.I felt like my brain was being boiled. It was like my skull was about to explode. I couldn't think straight. I couldn't focus. The pain was overwhelming all my senses. I couldn't move. I wanted it to stop. I didn't know how to stop because I had no idea what was happening. It was like every bone in my body was breaking. From my fingertips to my guts, I could feel all my nerves getting stimulated at once. How could one be conscious of one's gut? I wanted to scream. I opened my mouth. I don't know if any sound came out. I wanted to cry.I closed my eyes. I don

Zoe's POVThe pain had started again and this time the creature wasn't there. I wanted to cry. I think I heard my scream echo through the woods.I don't know how long it went on. The bright day of the woods had once again shifted to the night. I had curled up in a fetal position and closed my eyes in pain. The feeling of shifting guts was back but worse.Finally, I heard it again.'I'm sorry that I had to leave like that.'I looked up and saw the creature and I could feel empathy radiate off of it."Where were you?" I asked as the pain slowly eased and I could breathe again.'Our fated mate needed saving.' It said in a matter-of-fact tone."We have a fated mate?" I asked in surprise and disbelief.'You didn't know?' It asked surprised at my reaction. I shook my head.'So, you've never met the tall, guy with the grey eyes and his wolf called Spike?' It asked curiously.My eyes widened."Spike?" I asked in disbelief. Xavier's wolf was Spike. How many wolves were named Spike? The descri

They discuss a painting and a little bit of his past. He offers to paint a nude portrait like the Greek masterpieces. As they start Zoe gets a call from a persistent John and Xavier overhears. He gets furious and goes to chop off some firewood even though they had enough to blow off some steam. She follows him outside to calm him down where they kiss and he carries her inside to have sex after which he paints her while she acts as his therapist and they discuss more paintings.They stay in the cabin for the night and the next morning Zoe sneaks out of the cabin for a run in the forest. Xavier wakes up from a very sensual and romantic dream of himself and Zoe and not finding her there panics. Only to see her car and belongings are still there. He tracks her down and finds her near a frozen lake in the forest. He promises to bring her back there in summer when the lake is liquid and has swans.Xavier receives a call from Jacob about an important thing about the case that he needs to chec
