You want Sansa to die so she can be free of her misery? Or do you want her to live in order to fight evil? š
Chapter 85 Xavier's Pov "I can't bear to lose you," I said quietly, knowing there would be no response.Words failed me, and all I could do was stare. The silence strangled me, and my mind raced with worries and nervous thoughts."I don't know how I'd go on without you," I admitted, revealing a weakness I rarely showed.My heart was shattering within me as tears flowed down my cheeks. I felt completely alone.I gripped his hand gently, longing for the connection. My emotions were effectively concealed, concealing my pain from the rest of the world."Please, I implore you, open your eyes," I begged."You can despise me and punish me, but please don't abandon me," I sobbed hysterically, unable to hold back my tears."What would I tell our parents? Mother entrusted you to my care. Please do not make me look like a failure in their eyes. Levine, wake up, your brother is calling," my voice trembled as I softly stroked his face.Kris had forewarned me that I could have to say goodbye to Le
Chapter 86Fear coursed through me like a violent river as I cradled her motionless body in my arms. "Sansa?" I yelled, but she remained deafeningly silent. Panic flooded my veins, causing me to tremble as I carried her to the bed."Sansa, please, open your eyes!" I begged her, gently shaking her face. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my mind was racing, trying to come up with a solution.I had experienced innumerable frightening circumstances in the heat of battle, but nothing compared to the horror I felt at this time. Despite my lifetime of recklessness, I was at a loss for how to aid her.I considered racing to the balcony to summon assistance, but I paused when I noticed everyone in the garden, carefree and blissfully oblivious of our plight. My instincts told me to cry for help, but I held back since I didn't want to ruin their fun.When someone knocked, I opened the door to see Amara standing there with a glass of juice in her hand."I brought some aā-," softly Amara began
Chapter 87 Xavier's Pov My life was always distracted by the rightful bride, whom I felt was supposed to be mine. My heart refused to listen even though I knew it was not the correct time to act on my feelings.I was never one to forgive easily, but with Sansa, all her mistakes seemed to fade away. I wanted to protect her despite her rebellious character and the issues she produced.However, my curse made it impossible to keep her close while staying away from her. I couldn't resist her draw, even though it put me in danger.I tried to walk away as the door opened, but my gaze was drawn to Amara, who seemed concerned about my well-being."Are you all right?" she inquired, her eyes filled with real concern."Better now," I said, avoiding eye contact.Amara looked at me for a time, as if she was thinking about something. "What?" I inquired when her gaze was fixed on me."Take care of her, and get some rest yourself, goodnight," she walked away, and I breathed a sigh of relief.When I
Chapter 88 Xavier's Pov I had never planned to deceive her, but events had transpired in such a way that she assumed I had exploited her while she was unconscious. I had no motive to deny it because it allowed me to gently tease her curiosity.I was angry by her reaction at first, but I understood how anyone would feel in her situation, waking up to find a shirtless man lying near her and her clothes changed. My gentle taunting was to blame for the misunderstanding."Do you dislike it? I chose it, especially for you. You look simply stunning in this nightgown," I remarked, unable to stop myself from tormenting her anymore."Can you tell me what happened? What have you done to me?" her rage was evident as she scowled at me."Your rage only adds to your allure. You have no idea how much I admire your beauty," I taunted lightheartedly."Shut up!" she yelled."I was telling you about my exciting experience," I stated sweetly.Things were not as they appeared to her; she thought I had tou
Chapter 89 Xavier's Pov Tears flowed down my cheeks, and my heart felt shattered as I sobbed freely. I felt completely defeated for the first time in my life. I wiped away the tears, attempting to restore my calm."Can you put an end to his suffering without causing him more pain?" I turned to Kris, desperate for a solution that would relieve Levine's suffering. Kris couldn't find the words to speak, her eyes welling up with tears."He's already taking his final breath." Kris's voice broke."Make him sleep before he feels any more pain," I said, unable to look at Levine in pain."I can't," he eventually said, his voice breaking.Ruth, who was softly crying and shaking her head in sorrow, caught my eye.Ruth implored in a weak voice, "Please, Xavier," not wanting me to take matters into my own hands."Is there anyone else who can do this?" I asked, exhausted and desperate for assistance.However, no one responded. They were all crying, but no one offered to help. A single tear fell fr
Chapter 90 "I don't need anything else in the world but you," she said seductively.Her fragrance was enticing, and her allure was apparent. It was obvious that she would entice any man."I was afraid you'd abandon me and I'd never see you again, but you returned for me, I know you love me, but you're too afraid to admit it," murmured Marina, approaching my face."Things have changed, and you need to accept reality," I said, attempting to put some distance between us. With a seductive smile, she drew me closer."What makes her so unique? She is only half human, not whole human. How could you be so taken with her when humans are our enemies?" inquired Marina, moving in closer."Just as you beg for love from the man who killed your brother," I said as she leaned in, clearly anticipating my reaction."Have you forgotten that I burned him alive right in front of you?" I reminded her sternly, my gaze fixed on her countenance.She came to a halt, her hand frozen on my torso. I leaned in clo
Chapter 91 As I struggled with the weight of my Alpha obligations, memories of my father's leadership flooded my thoughts. He bore the task of guarding the pack against enemies and upholding our customs and culture. Even when he wasn't there, I found myself wanting to be like him. When his father was killed by human hunters, he seized the kingdom at a young age after becoming the Alpha of the Oak pack. He had become the Underworld's youngest Alpha, fearless.Despite the obstacles and attempts by foes to destroy the Oak pack following his departure, I was able to protect and lead the family, winning their trust and respect. Without flinching, I have faced frightening wars. But with Levine and Sansa, I felt an odd vulnerability that I couldn't put my finger on.I determined not to divulge my weakness to anyone after feeling the scent of a traitor lurking within the pack. There was an adversary among us, disguised as an oak, conspiring to bring me down, and I needed to discover the pers
Chapter 92 "I'm not going anywhere; the food is already here," said Amara emphatically. Sansa appeared extremely weak and terrified in my presence, and I was resorting to various methods to keep her close, even if it meant terrifying her. I had thought she would come to my aid in order to save her beloved, Logan, but my actions had only made her fearful, stopping her from even looking me in the eyes.Her insecurity was palpable, and she plainly didn't want to be in the room with me alone. Sansa pretended as if I didn't exist as Amara walked away to get the dinner, attempting to isolate herself from me.I leaned closer to Sansa's ear, fearful that Amara might question our unusual behavior, and whispered, "Behave!"Her poise slipped in my presence, and when she moved to get out of bed, I gently drew her back in.I brushed Sansa's hair away from her face and touched her delicate features as Amara returned with the food, saying, "Look at you, you're so frail and weak."I despised her for

Chapter 105"You will," he said firmly, even though he always wanted me to give up.His constant efforts to break me were wearing me down, leaving me weak despite my best efforts to appear powerful in his company.As the sound of Elodie's approaching footsteps aroused Xavier, I remained in the cell with Vera. She was casting spells that rendered Felix and Marina asleep and concealed their activities from curious eyes."I think we can discuss now in peace," said Elodie, turning to face Xavier on her right, who was slightly to her left."I am right here on your left side," said Xavier to Elodie, when she was too far away to notice his direction. "How are you doing, Hina?" Or should I call you Vera?" mocked Elodie."I'm better than you, at least I don't swallow the innocent's soul," answered Vera defiantly.Soul? The word grabbed my interest, and I noticed Xavier staring at me quietly. Though he tried to hide it, his eyes were filled with despair and anxiety. However, I could see the exp
Chapter 104 The mood in the room was tense and charged with emotion. I stood outside, seeing Xavier in an unusually vulnerable state. His tears streamed freely, and my heart swung back and forth between pity and bitterness.As Elodie feverishly tried to save Levine, her magical chanting filled the air. Despite her efforts, the outcome was bleak. My father's lifeless body flashed before my eyes, and the agony of loss resurfaced, forcing me to relive that terrifying moment.Tears flowed down my cheeks, and I struggled to keep them under control. The sight of Xavier crying elicited contradictory emotions in me. I detested him for everything he had done to me, yet witnessing him suffer stirred my long-buried affection.Elodie's remarks pierced the gloomy air, foreshadowing Levine's waking. "He will wake up soon."When his brother was saved, Xavier remained still, as if stunned by the mental storm. "Well done; now it's your turn to accept your price," he said, a tear coming from his eye.
Chapter 103 Sansa's Pov As Adam approached me warily, I kept saying, "It's not my blood; Bella was attempting to do something stupid."Adam gently grasped my hand and grabbed a handkerchief from his pocket, his face filled with concern. "You need to take care of yourself first," he chastised quietly as he gently cleaned the blood off my forearm. It was then that I realized I'd harmed myself while battling Bella, but the blood wasn't mine."We all want you to be healthy, you're the most loved member of the pack," he said as he wrapped the handkerchief around my arm.I said, "Thank you for saving my life from a wild creature back in the bush," and I exhibited the treated wound wrapped in his handkerchief, "For that." "We should be thanking you," said Adam with a grin. "You came to our aid just in time. I doubt Xavier is appreciative since he was one second away from death.""What do you mean?" I inquired, perplexed."He was there when wild monsters leaped on him, just an inch away fr
Chapter 102What would happen if the other members of the pack discovered them? When Amara's husband passed away, she became free and could be with Jerry legally. Why then did they keep their relationship a secret? Was it unlawful or against the rules of their pack to form a connection with a pack member? Something seemed off, something strange was happening, and as I began to have several questions at once, I started to leave.I looked over the pack members who were cleaning the mansion, arranging new couches, tables, and chairs, and removing damaged furniture from the inside. Nobody was ever prepared for the destruction, and when killing wild creatures became impossible, we all lost hope in life. I was fortunate to kill a wild creature that wasn't immortal; if it had been, Levine and I would already be dead.Members of the pack were acting normally, but I could tell they were all still traumatized. Their eyes remained alert to spot any approaching wild creature.I came to a halt i
Chapter 101 Sansa's Pov Back to the mansionXavier's actions perplexed and upset me. The simple bowl of banana custard had become a symbol of his mistrust or sadistic pleasure in seeing me suffer. He left me alone with a bang of the door, my tears falling nonstop, suffocating me with grief.Escape from this psychopath's grasp appeared impossible. Every breath I took seemed like a weight, as the walls closed in on me, emotionally and physically strangling me.Though I could have chosen Xavier and extended my life, I opted to accept my fate and confront death. The more he tried to dominate me, the more determined I got to resist, no matter what the repercussions were.Logan, my wonderful lover, was the driving force behind my decision. I had made the ultimate sacrifice to save him, gladly giving up my life for his sake. I could only hope that he would understand and forgive me for carrying such a great load on my heart.Walking was difficult in my ecstasy; each step felt like a massive
Chapter 100Sansa's Pov My gaze switched from the dropped knife to my grandfather's face, his eyes filled with a sickening mix of fury and loathing. He despised both my mother and me, and now that my father was no longer protecting me, I had become his primary target.I pushed back against his hard grip on my collar as he grabbed for the knife that had dropped. As he took a few steps back, dragging me closer by the collar, his goal to harm me became evident.I dug my sharp teeth into his wrist, creating imprints that drew terrible screams from him, summoning all of my strength. My actions seemed to aggravate his rage, and he tried to push me away with force.I gasped for air as soon as he let go of my collar, but my relief was fleeting as he flung me into the wall, causing my head to smash into the surface and sending me sprawling to the ground.He rushed toward me, tears flowing down his cheeks, bent on swinging the knife. As I lay helpless and terrified on the floor, he regarded me
Chapter 99Sansa's Pov Shadows danced on the walls as I sat facing my stern grandfather, anxious to solve the mystery of my parents' remarkable love. The air was tense because I knew how he felt about anything non-human, especially my mother, a werewolfāthe very kind he was famed for hunting."Lay me next to your mother when I close my eyes for the rest of my life, and I will rest in peace," my father's ultimate wish to be buried near the woman he loved, my mother, resonated in my thoughts.He recalled their fateful meeting in the bush, where he was hunting to protect the locals from wild animals. He discovered my mother there, injured and in werewolf form. He brought her home and cared for her wounds out of compassion for animals, unknowing of her true nature.When Grandfather Falkor was away, my father nursed her, and to his surprise, she evolved into a human in before of his eyesāa revelation that warmed his heart and spurred an ardent desire to learn more about her.Their bond gr
Chapter 98Sansa's Pov Back in timeAs the rain dropped gently from the twilight sky, each droplet carried the aroma of dust like teardrops, the atmosphere was heavy with sorrow. I was dressed solemnly in a black robe, clutching a half-moon-shaped pendant around my neckāa special present from my father, a keepsake I treasured. It was my habit to touch the pendant whenever I'm feeling down. My mother had given it to him on their wedding day, but fate had passed it on to me after she died shortly after I was born.I stood at my father's grave with my grandfather, Falkor Grant, under a weeping sky. I had hoped for sympathy from him, but his cold stare said it all, making me feel like a weight he refused to carry. The weight of his apathy destroyed my heart, leaving me feeling completely alone and abandoned.He was dressed in a black long coat and holding the umbrella that had previously protected me from the raināthe same umbrella that my father had used to protect me. He remained there
