Chapter 57
? XAVIER POV?
The ride to X constructions was the longest ride of my life, even before we got there the media were already there and the whole place was surrounded by police and fire fighters trying to put off the fire.
I stood there rooted in one spot, too shocked to say a word as I watched Jayden try to get information from them.
âThe fire was lit up by someone, we couldnât find anything in the building that could have caused the outbreakâ one of the men from the fire service said after about an hour
later.
âThis is my company building, I donât think I have any enemies who would want to put an end to my business. I canât even wrap my head around the fact that something this terrible happened to meâ I said as my heart squeezed in hurt. The whole scenario was still quiet shocking for me, the reporters and the police asked some questions before leaving.
âWe should leave Alpha, I donât think it is healthy for you to continue standing here. We have been on this spot for hoursâ Jayden said in concern and I just joined him in the car tiredly.
My company was gone, that was one of the major finances of the pack. How do I run the pack without the company?? Some major documents have been burnt to the ground, this would make go bankrupt. The more I think of it, the more hot my head. becomes. My whole world has ended, where do I even start from I tried to control my emotions the entire time.
Immediately we got to my pack house, I got down from the car and made my way into. the forest trying to calm my nerves. I screamed in anoyance and my voice echoed in the
open fields. Changing into my wolf form, I ran towards the water falls trying to get the anger off my system. My wolf whimpered in pain, I havenât felt this much pain after Emerald and I separated. The only time I experienced the painful feeling was when I said the rejection words back to my mate.
The painful memories of my fatherâs words came my mind. He never thought I was worthy of handling the pack, he always saw me as a failure. Up until his death I spent my entire life trying to prove to him that I was worthy of being packâs Alpha, and right when I thought I had something I was really good at even if I failed in my duty to protect the members of the pack, I lost it all.
âYou are being too hard on yourselfâ my wolf said and I groaned in pain.
Chapter 57
âI should beâ¦I failed ..Rolfe â¦I failedâ¦â I said as the words choked in my throat. The feeling of guilt, pain, regret and anger ate me up.
âYou didnât fail Xavier, you tried your best to be the Alpha of the people, loosing the company does not make
does not make you a failureâ he said and I felt myself getting even more
vulnerable.
âYou should go home, everyone must be looking for youâ he said and I sighed.
âI canât look them in the eyes Rolfe especially Rachel and the kidsâ I said and bowed my head sadly.
My life is such a mess right now and I feel so embarrassed about it, things just seems to be getting bad every day. I stood up and watched the waters as the memory of when last I was here came my mind.
****FLASHBACK****
I stopped running when my eyes caught sight of the beautiful lady in the water.
âDonât come any closer am n*kedâ her sweet voice hit my ears as I stared at her unable to pull of my eyes from her b*dy. The fresh smell of rose flowers hit my nostrils and it seem to be getting more closer with each step I took towards her.
The pull, the scent everything seem to be making more sense, am sure she could feel it too because she her eyes darkened in lust.
âMateâ we both said in unison as I made my way over to her in the pool.
I bent down and captured her plump pink l*ps in mine as she melted in my arms and we k*ssed hungrily.
After breakfast the k*ss, I brought her clothes for her to change and she sat next to me shyly.
âAinât you feeling cold?â she asked calmly.
âNopeâ I said as I held her hands softly.
âWhere have you been all my life?â I asked and she chuckled.
âWhat is your name? which pack the you belong to?â I asked and she stared at me nervously.
âI belong to your pack Alpha Xavier, and my name is Emerald Willowsâ she said and I smiled.
âIt is supirising that we belong to the same pack and I havenât met you all this whileâ I

said and she smiled.
âI donât go out that muchâ she said softly and that seem to make sense.
We talked about a lot of things that evening, from our likes to dislikes. Emerald make me feel different, she was a breath of fresh air in my dark life. Everything about my father was suffocating, from his crazy rules to the fact that he wanted me to marry Lina. I just did not understand why he wanted Lina for me. The S*x was mind blowing but we didnât match, we argue about a lot of things and she liked the extravagant life more than the welfare of the members of the pack.
Introducing Emerald to my Dad was the worse mistake of my life, it went from one problem to the other and then he stated the fact that he wouldnât accept her to our face.
She didnât have a worthy background and even the goddess playing matchmaker would not change his mind. Emerald and I fought for our love, at least up until she took revenge by killing dad. Right now I donât even know what to think.
? RACHEL POV?
âWe agreed to burn down his company building,why are you sounding like you regret it Rachel ? We should be celebrating !â Gabriel bursted angrily at the other en.
âI know we had an agreement, but I wasnât expecting it to be so soonâ I said and he growled in annoyance.
âSometimes you act too soft that I end up thinking you are in love with Mr Xavier!â he raised his voice angrily.
âYou know what, letâs just talk laterâ I said and ended the call then threw my phone on the bed.
âThis is what I have always wanted, to put an end to his reign, to hurt him and make him feel what I felt when he stripped me off my rights as Luna. Why then do I feel hurt and unsatisfied?â I asked myself as my eyes stung with tears.
âRevenge that is what you have always wanted Emerald, you shut me out because you never wanted my opinionâ Nala said and I held the tears that threatened to escape my
eyes.
âXavier didnât think twice about it when he hurt me Nala, you canât tell me am doing the wrong thingâ I fired angrily.
âI havenât said anything, that is just your conscience talkingâ she said and I ran my fingers in my hair in frustration.

âI should just check up on Xavierâ I said and made my way out of the room.
âWe came back since two hours ago, am also trying to figure out where he wentâ Jayden said and I became even more anxious.
What if he hurt himself in the process, I wondered as my heart beat crazily against my chest. I am not supposed to care, so why do I care so much? why exactly does my heart yearn for him.
Just go
back inside and wait for him, am pretty sure he would be joining you soonâ he said and I gave a nod as I made my way out of the house and into the field.
There is no way am going back into the house without finding him. Where are you Xavier ? I wondered and something came to my mind immediately. There is only one place to find him when he is worried about something. I increased my pace as I made my way towards the water fall.
âXavierâ I called immediately I got there and he swam out of the water. My eyes met his. blood shot eyes as he stared at me without a word, I could see tears roll out of his eyes. mixed with the drops of water from the river.
âHow did you find me?â he asked with deep seriousness in his tone.
âGet inâ he said and I stood rooted on the spot.
âGet into the pond now Rachelâ he said and I took off my sandals as the coldness of the water hit my feets, I made my way into the water while keeping an eye contact with him.
I hope I donât end up regretting this.
