*****Henry*****

“Tell me now then.” Xavier hesitated before finally speaking. “I’m not who you think I am. There are things about my past that I’ve kept hidden from you.” My heart sank as I braced myself for what he was about to reveal.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Xavier’s eyes held mine as he confessed, “I’m not who you think I am. Henry.”

I raised my eyebrows in confusion, not understanding what he meant by that. “What do you mean by that?” I asked, my heart pounding in my chest. Xavier took a deep breath before continuing,

“Even I recently learned about what hidden secrets my family has been keeping from me. It turns out, my true identity is not what I believed it to be all these years.” My mind raced with questions as I struggled to comprehend the bombshell Xavier had just dropped on me.

“What true identity are you talking about?” I asked, feeling a mix of curiosity and concern. “You are Xavier De La Vega, the son of Alpha Nicolas De La V

    *****Henry*****I sighed and braced myself for the shocking revelation that was about to come. “Tell me, Xavier, I can’t handle the suspense any longer. It’s eating me up inside,” I urged, my voice barely above a whisper.Xavier took a deep breath, his expression grave, before finally revealing the truth that would change everything. “First, promise me you won’t hate me for what I’m about to say,” he said softly.I look at his face, my heart sinking at the seriousness of his tone. “I promise,” I replied, my voice barely audible. “Just tell me.”I watched as Xavier signed loudly and hesitated for a moment before finally confessing, “It was a month after I found out that you are mate and that you are not an ordinary wolf or omega if I am being honest.”I regretted waiting for him to continue, my mind racing with the possibilities of what he could possibly be about to reveal. “I didn’t want to believe it at first, but the signs were all there,” he admitted, his eyes filled with regret. “T

    *****Henry******“You must be Omega, but you are not weak; you have something that made people exploit you.”“Tell me then, what is it that made others exploit me?” I asked, feeling my heart sink with disappointment. Xavier paused, his gaze softening as he replied, “The blood that runs through your veins has the power to rejuvenate and heal others, like a medicine for their ailments.” He took my hand in his. “But unfortunately, that same power makes you vulnerable; every time someone exploits it, they weaken you little by little until you are left drained and helpless.” I felt a mix of anger and sadness wash over me, realizing the truth behind my constant struggles.“Is that why I always feel so exhausted and drained, both physically and emotionally?” I questioned, looking for some clarity in Xavier’s words. He nodded solemnly, his eyes reflecting understanding and empathy for my plight. “Yes, because without your knowledge and consent, others have been draining you of your energy and

    *****Henry******A loud howl pierced the night, interrupting our conversation and signaling the presence of danger nearby. Xavier’s eyes widened in alarm, his instincts kicking in as he prepared to face whatever threat was approaching. I turned my eyes on Xavier, both senses on alert.I could see the tension in his body as he braced himself for the impending danger, his wolf's side ready to protect us both. As the howls grew closer, I knew that whatever was coming our way would test our bond and trust in each other like never before.Xavier tried to stand but pushed his shoulder, stopping him to move. “Seat, your legs are injured,” I said firmly, my own instincts urging me to protect him as well.Xavier tried to push past me. “Henry, maybe the rogue is trying to flank us; we need to be ready,” he insisted, his voice filled with determination.“I said seat,” I repeated, holding my ground as the howls echoed through the night, signaling the approach of danger. Xavier finally relented, s

    *****Henry******“Xav…,” Before words can come out of my mouth, Xavier takes his hand over my mouth and whispers, “Shh...” He shook his head, his turning black eyes locking with mine, silently warning me to stay quiet. The tension in the air was palpable as we both strained to hear any movement around us. My mind raced with questions, wondering what danger could be lurking nearby.What should I do now? Xavier is injured, so I have to be responsible for making sure we both stay safe and protected.Xavier tried to stand, but I held him back, not wanting him to strain his injured body; his legs hadn’t yet healed because of the effect of wolfbane on his body.Xavier seems angry at my decision, but I know it’s for the best. I place my hand on his shoulder to reassure him that everything will be okay. “Shhh, let me protect you this time,” I whispered softly, with my lips close to his ear.

    **Henry**The storm outside howled, pounding against the walls like a beast trying to break free. But it was nothing compared to the storm inside me. My heart raced, drumming in my chest, every beat echoing in my ears as I stared at Xavier. His presence—unshakable, magnetic—pulled me in with a force that defied reason. With every flicker of his gaze, every subtle shift of his body, I felt that magnetic pull growing stronger, like the space between us was shrinking with each passing second. I tried to focus on the danger, on Cody and Diego outside, but it was impossible. Xavier was too close. His every movement, every breath, was like a temptation I couldn’t resist. My pulse quickened, and I couldn’t tell if it was the looming threat of the storm outside or the storm that raged between us."Xavier," I said, the words coming out lower than I intended, almost a breathless whisper. "What’s the plan here?"The sound of my voice—it was barely a murmur, soft with need. I cursed myself for i

    ****Henry****The wind howled outside, like an animal snarling at the walls, but inside, the storm was something different. It wasn’t just the rattle of the windows or the chill creeping into the room—it was Xavier. His presence was like an electric current in the air, humming with tension, too thick to ignore. My heart beat faster, but it wasn’t just the danger outside that made it race. No, it was the way Xavier stood there, so close, so impossibly close, that it felt like the world had narrowed to just the two of us."Don’t focus on the storm," Xavier said, his voice low, almost a whisper. He stepped closer, his body shifting just slightly, like he was testing the distance between us, like he could feel the pull too. And I hated how much I wanted to close the gap.I forced myself to breathe and to focus. Cody and Diego were out there, getting closer with every passing moment, but all I could think about was Xavier and how every part of me responded to him. It was insane how quickly

    *****Henry****The wind howled outside, battering the walls of the abandoned hut, but the cold couldn’t touch us—not like it should have. We were different. Stronger. The storm outside was nothing compared to the one brewing inside, a storm that threatened to tear us apart from the inside out.Xavier’s body was pressed against mine, so close I could feel the heat of him seeping through the thin fabric of our clothes. The hut was small, cramped, and suffocating, but we didn’t dare move. Every shift, every breath, every sound could give us away. We had no choice but to stay still, to hold on to the silence, to hold on to each other.His hand was on my waist, gripping me as though I was the only thing keeping him grounded, as though the tension between us could break at any moment. We were too close. Too exposed. I could feel his heartbeat hammering against my back, his chest rising and falling in time with mine. It was a shared rhythm, but one that only amplified the fear creeping into

    ****Henry**** The storm outside howled, battering the hut’s fragile walls with all the fury of a wild beast. But it was the storm brewing inside that had me on edge—a storm that was far more dangerous, one that could rip apart everything I held onto. Xavier’s body was rigid behind me, his breath shallow, his pulse erratic as we both waited—silent, still—like prey caught in a predator’s grip. Diego and Cody were still out there, their voices low and sharp, threading suspicion through the air like a blade. Their presence hung in the air, thick with the promise of discovery. It was only a matter of time. And then came a shift. A soft thud. The unmistakable sound of paws padding against the ground. A growl rumbled through the room, and a dark shape slid into the shadows, its glowing eyes filled with urgency. Xavier’s muscles tensed, every fiber of his being on alert. I could feel his anger rising, like a fire building under his skin. His control was slipping—just barely. And I knew, de

    ***Henry****The pull between us felt like gravity, an invisible force that I couldn’t escape, no matter how hard I tried. Every breath I took carried Xavier’s scent deeper into my lungs, and it only made things worse. My wolf, the part of me that was supposed to stay hidden, was roaring to the surface, urging me to submit. But I couldn’t. I wouldn’t.Xavier’s presence was overpowering, the space between us a cauldron of heat, tension, and something darker I couldn’t name. His amber eyes, molten gold, were locked onto mine with an intensity that made my pulse quicken. The soft flicker of a smirk played at the corner of his lips, as though he knew exactly what I was feeling. But I refused to let him see it.The distance between us was closing, and each step he took made my breath come faster, each movement a reminder of the battle I was losing.“You’re fighting it, Henry," Xavier's voice was a low growl, rough like gravel being ground underfoot.

Every breath I took carried Xavier’s scent deeper into my lungs, and it only made things worse. My wolf, the part of me that was supposed to stay hidden, was roaring to the surface, urging me to submit. But I couldn’t. I wouldn’t.Xavier, with his powerful presence, was just steps away, and I could feel the weight of his gaze on me like a physical touch. His amber eyes, the color of molten gold, locked onto mine with a knowing, patient intensity that made my heart race. I wanted to look away. I wanted to flee. But I was frozen. His power and his dominance were suffocating.“You’re fighting it, Henry." Xavier's voice was rough, like gravel being ground underfoot. The words sent a shiver down my spine, but I couldn’t let myself respond.“I have to,” I muttered, barely above a whisper, my voice cracking as the struggle inside me intensified. “I can't just give in to

    ****Henry***The storm outside raged harder, its winds howling against the fragile walls of the hut, as if echoing the chaos inside Xavier. The tension in the room was unbearable, suffocating even. His anger rolled off him in waves, crackling like static in the air, and I could feel it deep in my bones.Xavier's wolf was clawing at him from the inside, desperate to break free, to tear through the world in a frenzy of violence and rage. I could feel it—his pulse quickening, his breath shallow as though every part of him was about to snap. The physical pain from his injuries was still there, but it was nothing compared to the battle waging in his mind, his wolf fighting for dominance, threatening to overtake everything. His wounds—if the wolf took control now—would never heal. And that knowledge, that fear, made every muscle in his body tense, every inch of his frame rigid with control."Henry…" His voice was rough, like gravel scraped against skin, but his eyes, wild and desperate, loc
