Chapter 133
Xade’s pov
The color was unnaturally black, a sight that chilled me to the bone. No,” I whispered, my voice more shaky than it had ever been before. A shiver of fear run down my spine, taunting me.
My Avery. My V. What was happening?
” Another symptom of her body fighting your wolf’s essence,” Dad whispered. His words had me grabbing Avery tighter, now so scared to let her go. I can’t let her go. ”
We have to do something,” Mom suddenly said in one breath, her face pale with worry and her eyes a dead giveaway that she knew more than she was letting on, especially when those eyes met Dad’s.
“What are you not saying?!” I snarled, my beast stirring. Our mate was dying and they were holding secrets at this time.
Mom’s eyes plead with Dad’s. “Xadeon,” she whispered urgently, pleading with him to say whatever they were holding onto. Dad’s jaw tightened, his eyes moving from hers, his posture stiffening as though he was having a battle in his head.
The sight makes me furious. They were indeed hiding something.
Something that could save Avery. In a flash I am up, gripping Dad’s neck with my hands, my gaze clouded with rage and frustration.
He doesn’t fight it. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Mom gasped. ” Xade!”
I ignore her, my eyes laser focused on my father. I narrowed my eyes sharply. “Tell me what you know.” I ground out every word, my beast pushing through. The growls that came out from our throat was loud and threatening.
Dad’s eyes narrowed, his dominant alpha power pushing through as he gripped my wrist hard, his jaw set tight. ” Xade,” he warned. I don’t let up. I need to save Avery. I had to make this right.
Even when his alpha power pushes forward even more I don’t let go. I grit my teeth, hardening my stance so the weight of his alpha essence won’t make me bend my knees. “Tell me goddammit!” I snarled so loud I shook the walls.
Black. Rage. Frustration. So much Anger.
Angry because I didn’t know how to stop this. Angry because for a second I let myself get a spark of hope, only for that little flicker to be blown out cold. And I let those emotions consume me.
I attacked. My own father. I lashed out, snarling, demanding him to tell me what he knew. Why was he keeping it from my knowledge? He loves Avery like he did his own children. Why did he not want to save her?
“Xade! Xadeon stop!” Mom cried but her cries fell on deaf ears.
Knuckles slammed into my jaw brutally, making my head snap to the side by the mere force. The taste of blood filled my mouth, and I spat it out, my own fists meeting contact with his jawline.
“What the hell is going on!?” Xaden roared, trying to separate the two of us. But I won’t let up until Dad tells me how to save her.
My chest heaved, my rage boiling as Dad and I fought. Xaden tries to pull me away, but my anger alone made me mad enough to surpass his strength.
Fighting won’t save her!” Xaden snarled, his words sharp in my ears as he tries to hold me back. ” Stop this Xade! Do you think she’d want you to do this?” His words penetrate through the cloud of anger that fogged my mind and I stopped. He was right.
Fighting won’t save Avery. She wouldn’t want me to fight my father.
I gritted my teeth, glaring at Dad who wiped the blood from his chin. ” Tell me,” I demanded with impatience and then I heard her, that soft whimper that made me crumble to my knees before my father.
“Please,” I whispered in a broken voice. I might as well be a broken vessel. My tears fell on the floor, drop after drop as I wait for him to speak. ” Please Dad, tell me how to save her.”
Xadeon,” Mom pleads from the bed.
For a pregnant pause, Dad didn’t say a word, only stared at me. The quietness in the room was suffocating, adding to my torment………..until her soft frail voice fluttered through the room in a pained gasp. ” Please don’t fight.”
