Novel & Cerita Fourth Wing Xaden Pov Chapter 27

“I didn’t mean right now. Just—eventually.” “No,” Apollo repeated, stepping closer. His fangs flashed again, a brief, involuntary reveal. “Not soon. Not until you understand what those wings are doing to your body.” His proximity carried heat and threat and something that felt like pleading disguised as law. Cael’s gaze flicked between them. He said nothing. But his shadow tightened again, attentive. Adelaide shifted her weight again, unconsciously testing her new balance. The wings responded at once—lifting a fraction higher than before, heat blooming along her spine in a controlled, deliberate ripple rather than a startled flare.

It didn’t fix the way my chest still tightened when I remembered the fight. It didn’t fix the way I still wanted him. My eyes strayed to where Xaden stood, memories of the previous night fresh in my heart. ---------- "Violet, I will not have you disrespect me before my pack." Xaden uttered darkly, unbuttoning the top button of his shirt. "And I'd not have you humiliate me!" I fired back, jerking upright on his bed. "Humiliate you?" He scoffed. "yes--" I started, jumping to my feet to stand facing him.

It felt like a final goodbye, his last words. I clenched my fists, pushing down the surge of emotions. "Then I need to move faster. I have to get this back before he… before it’s too late." I started to turn again, my body already leaning into the run. "Cardan," Xaden said again. This time, his voice held a fragile quality I had never heard from him before, a reluctant admission of vulnerability. I stopped, my breath catching. He lowered his gaze to the ground, kicking at a loose stone. It took him a moment, and when he looked up, the admission in his eyes was stark and unvarnished.

Winter's pov The feel of him, the heat, the low grunts brushing against my ear as he moved in and out of me was intoxicating. I cling to Ashton, my nails biting into his shoulder as he thrusts into me deeper. My back arches, my breasts pressing to his bare chest as I flutter out a moan. "Oh A- "Winter," Axel moans in my ear, his lips brushing against the shell just as I freeze when I realize that who was inside me wasn't my best friend Ashton but his twin brother, Axel.

I can’t. All I can think about is flushing my body against his. My body isn’t mine anymore. My knees are weakening. Out breaths flushed. I press closer and he doesn’t push me away. He doesn’t stop it. There are voices around us but I can’t make sense of them. All I can see and feel is Xaden. A strange power curls painfully within me, forcing my eyes closed as my wrist burns. Damn everything. I need… “Release her, Xaden! She’s in heat!” I recognize that voice. Darian.

A look of shock filled Alpha Xander’s face but it quickly gave way to a sort of amused look. Aiden goes to attack again but Alpha Xander is quick on him and he grabs him by the next, his biceps building with the strength of his hold. Alpha Xander lands a powerful blow to his chest as he releases him, sending him crashing to the ground as he coughs loudly. His mouth bared open, desperately searching for air. Aiden let out a final, pitiful whine before going limp, his eyes staring blankly into the sky as the life drained out of him. Xander let out a satisfied growl before turning and walking back into the distance, leaving Aiden’s defeated lifeless body behind.

Ravi didn't care about their past, but such disrespect was unacceptable. Thunderous laughter erupted from Adrian. He advanced closer to Ravi, who refused to divert his gaze from the intense eyes of the silver-haired man. Adrian's wings spread wide, failing to intimidate Ravi into fear. Instead, Ravi stepped forward and growled, "You better do what you want soon; I'm truly disgusted by looking at you."

Alex P.O.V My vision was growing dark around the edges. My body was on fire. It felt like my body was melting from the inside out. I felt like I could not breathe. I could see that Xavier and a few others were going against the enemies. The pain in my chest intensified, this was worse than when I first shifted. The pain made me weak to my knees. In daze I fell on my knees while dry heaving . I felt my bones snapping in several places. The pain was nearly as bad as before , it felt like my skin had turned to liquid. The shift has started and in between the pain I did not notice everyone around me had stopped. My vision turned completely dark. Through the pain I felt my body start tingling and

The Alpha needs Aiden to breathe, ‘how could I let this happen,’ “What happened?” The Alpha's chest stuttered and felt tight as he looked at Xander. “They came in with dart guns. As soon as we were hit with a dart, we couldn't use the link. Most fell almost immediately. The higher ranks could fight a little longer. I was able to fight them for a little bit, but my body gave out, and I fell unconscious. But not before I saw them drag him out the front door. I couldn't even move my fingers as I watched them leave with him… I'm so sorry!” Xander's shoulders shook as he broke down crying. He felt as though he failed his Alpha and his Luna. He was ashamed that he couldn't protect his Luna.

Now that I was moving farther away from Vex my fear was quickly turning into anger. I allowed the anger to flow through me. It wasn’t fair that once again I had to turn everything upside down to get away from him. I was really starting to enjoy my life. Granted Mentone mainly had older people, but they were kind and generous. I was enjoying the peace and quiet of the mountains and loved seeing the waterfall. Even the small apartment had been nice. I enjoyed sitting in the recliner learning to cross stitch, and just listening to the sounds of nature floating in the open window. My anger grew as I realized I forgot to grab my cross-stitch supplies from beside the chair. Damn Vex for all of thi
