Chapter 186

Xade’s pov “We came back here to protect her and get things under control,” I admitted, watching the blood drain from her face. Her ghostly white face alarms me and I step forward, terrified she will black out.

But she shakes her head and looks at me in itchy terror. “What group? Do you know the leader’s name?”

I nod, my brows furrowing. ” Milian. Not sure what his hunter’s group name is but apparently he is hard to find,”

Fay shakes her head, her hands trembling as she backs away from the door, her ashen face getting worse. I step forward into her home, calling out her name in confusion. “Fay, is there something you know? To help at least locate him?”

She shakes her head, rushing to the kitchen. She pulls the fridge open and takes out a wine bottle. She opens it and starts to chug it down. I wince, approaching her and grabbing the bottle and prying it away from her. ” Fay, drinking won’t help anything. If you know-

You have no idea what you and my daughter have gotten yourselves into,” she shakes her head and moves to sit on the stool, sighing as she rubs her forehead. I frowned. Why is everyone fearing Milian?

“Out of everyone, did my daughter have to piss off the leader of hunters?” she grumbles, lightly knocking her forehead.

Milian is the leader of the Shadows, that’s what his hunter organisation is called. He’s like the leader of all hunters and he won’t be seen unless he wants you to see him. That’s why many call him ghost.”

My frown deepened.

She looks at me. doesn’t just come out for any measly wolves, no offense.”

What had my daughter do to have him on her tail? He I arch a brow, slightly offended. ” She was taken to the hospital and the doctor there apparently is working for him. He took some blood samples from Avery and he noticed something strange since she was pregnant. Our pups tend to grow faster than normal babies.”

Fay brows furrowed. ” Are you saying that he’s going through all this trouble for Avery because she’s pregnant?”

My lips thinned. “I don’t think it’s only that, Avery, the baby is changing her. It has never been done before and that doctor perhaps had picked up on it and is trying to catch her to study her further.”

Fay’s eyes lit in realization. ” A human changing into a werewolf……….I can see why they would want her.”

I nod. “They have her on the news as some kind of dangerous person,” I snarl under my breath, glaring at the kitchen countertop.

Crap,” Fay curse under her breath. ” They’re going through hell of trouble to get her.”

I nod and look at her hopeful. “Do you know how we could find the bastard?”

She looks away sadly, shaking her head no. Unfortunately no. As I’ve said before, If Milian doesn’t want to be found, you will not find him.”

I exhaled sharply, frustrated that things were getting tough. There was no escape route.

“Do you have a ring?”

Her sudden question took me off guard, making me blink at the abrupt change in topic. Seeing my confused expression she smiles softly. “Do you have a ring to propose to my daughter?”

I cleared my throat, sheepishly looking at her. “No, I don’t but I am heading to town to get her one. I just needed your permission first.”

Fay’s eyes soften and she nods. ” Then what are you waiting for? Make sure you get her a good one, one as beautiful as her.”

Her words made my heart skip a beat.

I may not be able to help you with this Milian situation but I can help you with this. Just make sure it’s not too grand, my daughter doesn’t care for anything too expensive,” She chuckles lightly, making me smile.

“Thank you Fay,” I murmured happily, feeling the weight lift from my shoulders.

She nods and I turn to leave, but she stops me.

Oh and Xade,”

Ì stop, turning around. “If you hurt her I will not hesitate to go back to my roots,” her warning tone leaves no more questions. I nod, thanking her again before leaving.
