Chapter 111

Xaden’s pov It wasn’t only because of her sudden appearance that had me so paralyzed with shock on the spot but….the scent that hit me as soon as I breathed in.

Fuck.

Bloody fuck.

Things has now even more complicated than it had already been those accusing angry And her eyes, those accusing angry storms….recognition. She knows me. She remembers. How was this possible?

“So much for being your little sister Xaden,” she begins to hiss. “You abandoned me just like he was trying to do,” she snarls and I remain frozen, remain mute.

Her frustration shows on her face and she forcefully pushes her way passed me, snarling over her shoulder. “You and that stupid idiot of mine have some serious explaining to do-

She stops when her eyes land on Henry and then they skit over to Kaylee, then back to Henry. Her eyes widen. “You’re that man who knocked-

Henry eyes twinkle with amusement, “On the window to stop you and Xade from fucking in the open? Yes. Yes I am.” He cuts in.

Avery’s face reddened brightly and Henry snorted. “I’ve seen far worse girl, no need to be shy.”

“Henry,” I warned. He puts his hands up in surrender, chuckling.

Avery looks at me, confusion a clear mask on her face. “Who are these people Xaden?” Her tone had a slight accusing edge to it that made me wince. I looked over at Henry.

If he had been following them around….

“You knew she was pregnant didn’t you?” I accused. With his ranking, he would have been able to know right away by her scent that she was holding a wolf pup inside her womb.

Henry shrugged. “It wasn’t my place to say. Your brother should have been able to pick it up.”

I ground my teeth. “My brother’s wolf is dying! He wouldn’t have been able to pick it up and you fucking know it!” I snarled, causing Avery to flinch away from me, her eyes widening and her lips parting in a shocked gasp.

“Her scent only changed a few days ago,” he shrugged. “Again, wasn’t my place to say anything.”

I fisted my hands at my side, itching to throw a punch at his amused face. Does this fool take everything as his entertainment?

“If he knew-

“He wouldn’t have changed his mind,” Henry shrugged. “He’s quite dead set on not marking her.”

I growled low. “You don’t know my brother! He-

“What is he saying Xaden?” Avery’s voice grow frail and scared. I freeze, almost forgetting that she was in the room and knew nothing of what we were speaking about. I wished I found an easier way to have thrust her into our world.

“Xaden.” She whispered low with freight. “Is,” I practically hear her swallow hard. “Is Xáde,” her voice shook and I am afraid to look in her eyes. “Is he dead?”

I finally look at her, hearing the anguish in her voice shook me to the core. Even though Xade wasn’t in the best shape right now, at least her mind needs to be eased that he was breathing…for now.

“He’s alive Avery,” I see the relief in her eyes but know I must tell her everything before it was too late. “But,” once she heard that word her face drops and fear once again overtakes her features.

“But what Xaden?” she steps forward, fear so strong in her features and in her trembling voice. “What’s wrong with him?” Her shaky voice makes me gulp.

I looked away. “He isn’t doing too well little V.”

She sucked in a sharp breath, taking a step back as if I had just hit her across her face. “What’s happening Xaden?” Her eyes mist with tears, and they dart around in search of….him.

“Take me to him.” She demanded, her breathing hasting. “Where is he?!”

She begin to make her way to the room and I reach out, grasping her and stopping her. Now that she was here, it would be better to really make sure she knew what she had just walked into.

She whipped around, glaring at me. “Where is Xade, Xaden!? And don’t lie to me-

“He’s dying,” I cut in. “And you’re the only one who is able to make sure he doesn’t. You’re the only one who can save him from this fate little V.”
