Fated to My Ex's Brother-In-Law Chapter 183
It took an hour and a lot of emotional blackmail from Aunt Julie to convince me to let Xavier come to Kansas City. The only reason I agreed was to test if he could keep his word. Nothing more, nothing less.After endless talk about mates, second chances, and the Moon Goddess, Aunt Julie smiled and patted my back. "I'll go tell him you need to talk. Be nice, okay?"I didn’t roll my eyes, though I wanted to. I respected her too much for that. Instead, I shook my head, knowing she had played me perfectly. She always did.If anyone had a right to push me, it was Aunt Julie. She had done more for my family than anyone. More than just a distant cousin of my dad or a housekeeper—she was family. The closest thing I had to a mother."Be nice, Princess." She gave me one last sweet smile before heading inside.I sighed, leaning against the hood of my car and fidgeting with my keychain. My fingers itched for something that wasn’t there—my father’s necklace. The one I had given him in the prison.

Book Two:Do you know what they say about life? They say it's like a journey. Twisting and turning, never stopping until the final destination is reached. And despite everything that I've been through, I feel like my journey has a lot to show me before my final destination.Many thoughts ran through my head as I drove through the American landscapes silently. My beast, Dahlia hadn't talked to me since I started on this road trip. Not that I minded the silence. I won't deny that while once I had been dying to get my animal, having someone hear and judge my every thought became a little annoying, especially because I was going through so much stuff as well.'You are not as entertaining as you think you are either,' I resisted the jumpscare as Dahlia finally decided to let me know that she had indeed been listening to my every thought for the past many hours.'Yes, I have been listening because you still haven't learned to build the mental wall to allow each of us some much-needed priva

Xavier's POVZoe had been distant with me since we started the road trip. Who could blame her? I didn't. I blamed my bad decisions for putting such a wall between us that it was going to be hard to break it down and get to her. But I was nothing if I wasn't relentless. We had no idea what to expect in Kansas City. I would've asked someone to fly in and take a look before us just for Zoe's safety. But, I needed to stay out of touch for the sake of keeping my pack safe from the consequences of my actions. An Alpha was nothing without his pack. But, a wolf was nothing without his mate. To be a stronger Alpha and protect my people, I needed to be a better mate. And that meant doing everything I could to seek Zoe's forgiveness and hopefully take her back to my pack that had been without a leader for so long. I knew leaving Gramps in charge was as good as it could get. She was resourceful and wise but the world was changing. Awful things were going on. I was hoping that this road trip w

I woke Xavier up early the next day and grabbed breakfast to-go. I was eager to get to the coordinates my mother had left me. Desperation clawed at me—I needed to find meaning in my life. I had to find a purpose.We only stopped at a gas station to refuel, grabbing lunch to-go before getting back on the road. Xavier kept glancing at me with concern, and I could see the worry in his eyes. He was hoping that whatever was waiting for us in Kansas would help me, the way I needed it to.The journey was monotonous, the silence stretching on. Spike wanted to talk to Dahlia, but Dahlia still hadn’t accepted his mind-link. She was eager to know more about her mate, but loyal to me. If I was that upset with him, she thought, then he must’ve hurt me badly. Honestly, I was a little mad at him too. Mates were supposed to respect, love, and protect each other. They were supposed to have each other's backs. But Xavier—my mate—had abandoned me and chosen someone else.The sun began to set, casting or

"Are you okay?" Xavier asked—again. Like the hundredth time tonight.I let out an annoyed sigh. "Yes, I’m fine. Quit asking.""Just checking," he said, shrugging."Don’t," I snapped, rolling my eyes.For once, I wasn’t even mad at him. Just pissed at this stupid weather.We were already stuck in the middle of nowhere, and then—because why not?—the clear sky decided to dump a full-blown storm on us in like thirty minutes. Now we were trapped in the car, waiting it out.I slumped in the driver’s seat, arms crossed, glaring at the rain pounding the windshield. Xavier, meanwhile, was burning through his phone battery playing some offline game like it’d magically fix our situation.No clue how long this storm would last, and walking anywhere meant turning into a soaked mess. Like it or not, we were sleeping in this car tonight.The day had been long—eating junk food, driving for hours, barely stopping. At some point, exhaustion hit me like a truck. The steady drum of rain turned into a wei

I clung to Xavier's hand as we hurried after the old man through the woods. His flashlight barely cut through the darkness, and the drizzle made everything feel like some weird nightmare.I was scared—like, really scared. But Xavier was holding my hand like he was the one who needed it, so I didn’t pull away. I could practically feel his nerves through his death grip on my fingers. Weirdly enough? I was kinda glad for the storm. Without it, he’d never have dragged me out here like this. There was something hanging in the air between us, but I was too busy trying not to freak out to figure out what."How much farther?" Xavier demanded, voice tense.His grip tightened even more—my fingers were going numb. Every thunderclap made me jump, my whole body shaking. I was barely holding it together. I needed walls. A roof. Now."Just up ahead," the old man called back, not slowing down.Xavier muttered under his breath, "Yeah, sure," eyeing the guy like he might turn into a serial killer any s

NarratorThe dinner was delicious. Zoe quietly sipped on her mushroom soup, but Xavier looked everywhere for clues. He had seen many shady people in his life and this old man was very shady. A lot of things he said did not match what Xavier was seeing around the cabin. The place was too well-kept for an old man's cabin in the woods. "So, your son's a mechanic?" Xavier started with small talk."Yes." The old man gave a short answer and focused on the toasted cheesy garlic bread on his plate. "Why settle in the woods where rarely any car passes? Why not get a job at some workshop in the town?" Xavier pushed casually."The road busier than you imagine. This is our family cabin. My grandfather built it. My ancestors were gatherers. Woods worked in our favor for generations. It was only honorable to stay." The old man did not meet Xavier's eyes while answering and Xavier found that odd. Usually, liars don't look in the eyes while talking.Xavier let Spike sniff out any suspicious scent

Zoe's POVWe'd just finished breakfast when some guy a few years younger than Xavier walked in, wiping grease-stained hands on his apron."Morning everyone," he said way too cheerfully.The old man jumped up to make coffee while the kid—who I assumed was the "son"—nodded at us before disappearing into his room. He came back a few minutes later in clean clothes, accepting the coffee like this was some perfectly normal morning."Your car's all fixed," he announced, shoving a piece of bread in his mouth.Xavier's eyes narrowed. "What was wrong with it?""Fried electronics. Common issue with modified older models." The kid shrugged like this wasn't suspicious as hell.I got up to grab my coat from the guest room, but froze when I heard the old man slide something across the table."What's this?" Xavier's voice had that dangerous calm tone."Your bill," the old man said like this was completely normal.I turned just in time to see Xavier's face go through five different emotions."Bill?" h
