Chapter 203
Avery’s pov
The man’s eyes widen, eyes turning a shade of glassy pink before watery red as Xade lifts him off the ground a little. His free hand claws at Xade’s iron grip.
Xade,” Xadeon’s voice is low and commanding as he takes a step forward, eyes narrowing on his son. “Let him go. Now.”
With a glance over at me, his jaw worked and he let the poor man go. His face had turned an alarming shade of red, but with a couple of deep breaths in, his color was returning. “I am,” he coughed. “Sorry. I had not been close by.”
Xade’s eyes narrowed angrily and I feared he’d hurt the doctor again. Xade,” I manage to croak out, pulling him out of the murderous glare he had set for the poor doctor.
The pain going through my body like a wave of fire was unbearable but….seeing Xade act this way was adding to that agony. I didn’t want him to fight.
Go to her,” he hissed at the doctor impatiently who didn’t waste a second and with a terrified nod rushes over to me. When he reached my side his hands were shaking, indicating that the fear from earlier was still there.
With trembling hands he began to examine me, his fingers pressing lightly against my abdomen. Xade is hovering behind him, way too close than necessary. Beads of sweat dances on the man’s forehead.
Can everyone leave the room please?”
The doctor’s voice shake as he made the request, his light brown eyes hidden behind huge glasses darting around the room at Xadeon and Xade nervously.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Uncomfortable by the scrutiny, he moves his eyes away and focuses on examining me, the shaking of his hands worsening.
Xade looks angry at the request, jaw flexing. “I am not leaving her alone-
Mom’s hand clamp on his shoulder. “Let the doctor do his job Xade. You want them safe right?”
Xade’s jaw clenched, his eyes drawing from the doctor’s to my mom’s then back to me. I can see the hesitation, the resistance to leave me alone. His eyes searched mine, trying to see if I was okay with the request.
I nod, trying to smile.
Xade,” I whisper, my voice low and quivering from both fear and pain. It will be okay. I will be fine.”
His eyes instantly soften and a silent sigh left his mouth. With a nod he utters. “Fine. But I will be right outside. If you need me-
“I will be okay,” I reassure him once more, my voice still trembling but more firm. He didn’t seem that convinced but he nods anyway, showing me with his eyes that he love me.
As everyone left the room, Xade was the last to leave, reluctant to do so. His body was stiff and his eyes told me that he didn’t want to go. But he knew he had to. When the door closes behind him, the doctor visibly relaxes.
Sorry about Xade,” I whisper, grimacing as another wave of pain washes over me.
The man nods. “It’s common for the male wolf to be protective over his mate and pup,” his eyes flickered briefly to me. “Usually their beast can be uncontrollable at the time. I am surprised to see that you managed to calm him down so quickly.”
Right,” I nod, groaning as I clutch the sheets hard in my grasp. The quick shift of surprise in the doctor’s eyes when he glance down at my hand made me look down as well. I gasp. My nails were like claws, ripping through the material of the sheet.
