Chapter 206
Xade’s pov
Her words hung in the air like a threat but I am not sure if to take it as such. Each word was laced with bitterness and anger. “Is that a threat?”
Dad hissed low.
She removes her gaze from mine to look at him, and with a sneer on her lips she retaliated. “A threat is me telling you all to go to hell where you belong,” she utters sarcastically. “If I wanted to threaten you, I would.”
Tearing her eyes away from Dad she settles them on me once more. Her eyes are dead, pained and angry. “I cannot stay here and watch my daughter become-
A monster?” Dad interjected. “Is that what you really want to say? Is that why you are really upset? Still have the mindset of a hunter I see.”
Fay’s eyes flashed, fury so untamed swirling in them like hot lava. Turning to face my dad fully, her upper lips curl back into a disgusted sneer.
“Don’t twist my words,” she snipped lividly. “This isn’t about hunters and wolves, this is about my very own daughter, my only daughter going through pain!”
She flashes us all angry bitter looks. ” She has been dragged into this world. A world I have tried to protect her from-
“Cut the bullshit Fay,” Dad snapped in.
“That world had already been a part of her destiny,” he cross his arms over his broad chest, now looking more alpha than ever before.” You knew that when you chose to raise her here.”
He step forward, his eyes irritated and frustrated on her smaller frame.
Don’t act like you did not know this is a wolf’s territory. You knew sooner or later she’d find out.”
Fay’s face flamed hot red and I am not sure if to blame it on anger or embarrassment. Perhaps both.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I raised her here because I didn’t want the hunters tracking us. This had been a safer place to blend in. Her father also cared for you beast,” she removes her eyes from his to flick over to mine.
“I did not raise her to be bound to one that will cause her endless suffering.”
I flinched, feeling the repulsion in her eyes and voice.
She had every right to be this angry. That’s what I keep telling myself over and over to not say anything that will hurt her the way she is hurting me now. She was Avery’s mom and at some point when she hadn’t lost her memories of me, she was a second mom to me too.
This isn’t helping,” Xaden cuts in, trying to defuse the tension once more. ” Avery would not want us to argue over this. She loves my brother and my brother loves her-
“Doesn’t love her enough if he subjected her to this kind of life,” she hisses, pointing an accusing finger at me. You should have kept your filthy paws off my daughter. You bound her to such a fate because you couldn’t control your beast side.”
She looked at me one last time and the look of disdain swimming in her eyes I know will haunt me forever as she turns on her heels and walk away.
“Where are you going?” Xaden calls out to her.
None of your business beast.”
