Chapter 205
Xade’s pov
Her words linger in the air like a gust of wind. They were sharp like tiny shreds of glass, piercing through skin. My skin.
They stabbed me in my already wounded heart and as I watch the mix of pain and anger in her eyes, the stab wound deepened. I have not only caused Avery distress but I managed to do the same to her mother.

If I had known things would have ended up the way it is now, I would have never allowed you to be close to my daughter. I would have kept her away from the beast. Kept her away from such a fate.”
Each word hit me like a hard powerful blow, all making my gut twist painfully.
My wolf snarls inside me, out of anger and out of pain knowing that this was coming from a woman I cared deeply for. Even though I know she is right, she had every right it, the fact doesn’t hurt any less.

If I lose her-
“You won’t,” I cut in firmly and sharply, not wanting to think of a bad outcome after all of this.
Fay’s eyes narrowed.” You don’t even believe that yourself wolf,” with a shake of her head, she looks at Dad. “I am not going to stay here and watch my daughter perish before my eyes.
