Xavier's POV

I had no idea if Luca had succeeded in rescuing Maisie in time or not. There was no way to contact him. He was too far for mid-link. I kept waiting for him to contact me for days. The HQ had kept everything hudh hush. If it hadn't been my guy in the center of it all, I would never have known that Maisie probably was about to be worse than a lab rat.

After days of not knowing what to do next and spending my days in the office to make sure John wasn't sapred any punishment. I walked exhausted into the loft.

I hadn't been there in a while.

The place was just as I had left it, except I didn't want to turn on the lights and see how truly empty it was without the one person whom I forced away from me. There were some envelopes in the mail that I just placed on the kitchen island without looking.

I walked into the shower and turned it on. I let the cold water wash over me even though it could never wash the pain of betrayal and regret that was eating me up from the inside.

  • Fated to My Ex's Brother-In-Law   Chapter 141

    Zoe's POVOn the morning of the event, I was called by Laura to clock in early. A lot of parts that were left to be done fresh on the day of the event needed to get done in time.The event was in the evening, but we were informed that most of VIP guests had already arrived in the pack and were staying in various hotels. Laura had Misha and I run errands till noon. She was too tense because of the pressure from Rory. Everyone was nervous because this was the first project of the company on such a large scale and if everything went well, it could be the very thing that launches the company to national level."My feet are killing me and it's only mid-day." Misha complained dramatically as he sipped his boba tea."Maybe next time when it is such an important day at work, you'd refrain from heeled boots?" I teased and he frowned playfully."But seriously though, I am starving. Like I had my breakfast and its only noon. How am I starving?" He rolled his eyes dramatically and sipped his tea.

    Xavier's POVMy unwillingness to do anything had nothing to do with the fact that there were things that needed to be done. Whether I wanted to or not was of no importance.But I was curious about the wedding invitation that I had recieved from Alpha Peterson. I knew that Councilor Peterson, his father, was still at HQ, doing his best to get John bailed out without any charges. And as important as that was, it was just as vital for me to find out what Peterson Jr. was cooking.It was nearly a week long wedding with multiple events for the sake of it. But everyone knows that events like these are never just celebrations. When important people gather in one place, there is always more to it than meets the eye.Jacob had done the work on the wedding and found out that a lot of very important people, including many Alphas from all over the territories in America had accepted the invitation and were coming with their families. Some were even coming from halfway accross the world.What was P

    Zoe's POVI got to the venue in my ballgown feeling extremely overdressed for someone who was working that night.I had decided to wear the dress but not the rest of the things which I intended to return after the event. In fact, I was carrying a spare dress. I just wanted Richard to know that I had not rejected his gift but once he saw me, I was planning on changing into something more pratical.I didn't want to give Richard any wrong ideas. I was unable to commit to any one new yet when I was still dreaming of Xavier coming to take me away and tell me how sorry he was to let me go. Giving hopes to anyone else would be unfair to them.I had decided to turn the ball gown as casual as I could by wearing sneakers underneath and no accessories. I missed my howling wolf necklace that I never used to part with until I had given it to Dad when he was in pack jail. I hadn't seen him wear it but since I had given it to him, I didn't want to ask it back. I missed it around my neck though. I ha

    The night began as music wafted in all directions from the live orchestra. All the important people from around the world were present and Xavier decided it was showtime. He stepped forward to meet and greet the people while Eva slowly slipped from the shadows and moved towards the center of the packhouse where the secrets were expected to be held in Peterson office.Richard entered with his sister and they went straight to greet the groom who was the Alpha of a smaller territory at the edge of the Golden Eclipse pack. Anyone who noticed could understand that love had nothing to do with this political marriage and the groom was way happier than the bride.Rory made sure Zoe stayed backstage through most of the event and Zoe didn't mind. She had no intention of catching any attention at an event of such a signficance.An hour after dinner was over and the guests were enjoying the music on the temporarily built dancefloor, Angelina tugged at Zoe's dress with a mischievous gl

    Eva had slipped from the crowd and it had taken her a while to get inside the pack house since it was crawling with guards.She knew she needed to get to the second floor because that was where Alpha's study and office were. These two were the only rooms in the place with more security than the whole pack house. Which meant that there was bound to be something in there that needed such security.Having Lawrence as an inside man helped them formulate the plan. He couldn't carry on the mission himself because he had to stay close to Peterson as well as keep an eye on Zoe. Which is why he gave every information that he could find to Eva.One of the men in Xavier's entourage was a hacker who had cut down through the digital security of the pack house like a cake without being detected. This made sure that Eva could walk through the hallways without being captured by the security camera reels.When Eva reached the elevator that she needed to use, she yelled at Lawrence through he

    Zoe's POVI needed some fresh air after what had just happened on the dancefloor. For some reason, dancing with the Alpha of the pack in front of the world's most important people came secondary to having seen Xavier watching me dance with the Alpha of the pack at such an important event.Seeing him there brought feelings that I was not ready to face yet. It was too soon. I wanted to stay out there in the dark garden as long as I could. Everything was going wrong. Richard's proposal, the dress, the dance, Rory. And now, Xavier was here. Was it too much to ask for a break? What was next? Everyone to know that I was wolfless omega running from my past?I sighed.I could hear the orchestra playing and I knew Rory was not going to give me a break. She was already upset at me getting a dress from Richard and him making sure that I wore it. It wouldn't take long for her to know what happened at the dancefloor and I have no iea how she is going to take that.I took a few deep breaths to cal

    "They are great. Little one started school." I could see that she was not convinced by my smile but I was grateful that she didn't ask more."That's good." I said and we both sighed simultaneously."I gotta get back to work." I said despite not wanting to get back to the party."What work?" She asked."I work for the Golden Bells event management company. They are the ones who organized this event. I am still an intern but it was my team that helped set up most of the party tonight." I said feeling proud of this one little accomplishment in my life."Wow. Congratulations. That is big." She hugged me again and I hugged back. Other than Maisie and Dad I had not hugged anyone in a while. It was a lonely feeling. So, getting hugs from Eva was sweet."Thank you.""I gotta get back to the party too, before they realize I've slipped." She joked and I smiled, "Of course.""But, let's stay in touch." Eva suddenly offered and gave me her phone to put my new number in."Thanks. I'll call when I c

    Xavier's POVI didn't see Zoe again after that dance.But I knew that the image of her in that gorgeous gown twirling in the arms of another man was going to haunt me for long. It didn't help that the man was none other than Alpha Richard Peterson, only son of the Councilor Peterson who was notorious for his suspicious behaviors. Not to mention, the way he defended John even after all of John's atrocities were brought to light.I was still confused how did Zoe get to this pack of all the packs in North America. I had wanted her to be safe and then I had handed her the papers to the one pack that was probably going to be worse than her original one. How had that happened? My mistake was not checking the papers, but who made the original mistake of making those papers?Eva had returned later and the look on her face told nothing if she had found anything or not. I had ordered everyone not to mind-link at the party. So, that no one could be any more suspicious of our reason to accept the
